I'll second this. I only found this through Mindriot's heads up in the Steam thread, though I'd looked at the previous NewEgg thread you posted, NEJ.
And really, who can argue with that?
Fixed that for you.
I played FF8 back on the PSX, back when it first came out. While I liked it, that game was a mess.
FTFM - Fixed That For Myself.
It's actually my favorite game, period, though I try not to let that influence my opinion of its relative quality too much. I recognize there are better games (even better Squaresoft RPGs), and FFVIII's got more than its share of problems in terms of gameplay and plot, but in the end, it's still a better product than any of the other core FF titles, if you ask me. Better realized world, better characterization, and an honest attempt to innovate the JRPG gameplay formula (at least for the late nineties) that holds up if for no other reason than it lets you turn off the damn random encounters.
LOL I may be a rep but I've been gaming since I was 2 years old. (ah 286 dos games and Atari).Holy crap, a PC gaming department sales representative who likes old JRPGs.
We certainly do appreciate you staying up late and working late to update + get your NewEgg lists together for us. That's some dedication to your company (NewEgg) + to us CAG'ers, I must say. That's very cool.
Rockstar Games are always on sale everywhere - whether it's Steam, Amazon, Gamersgate, GameFly & now we can add NewEgg to the club. Whether some sites have them on sale at same time; some sites at different times one week after another have the same Rockstar deals (or close to it); and/or whatever else - Rockstar always seems to be on sale somewhere! And Rockstar doesn't really have enough games unfortunately on the PC, as well.I played the heck out of Contra + Super C on my NES, back in my NES days. Good times!
One of the JRPG's I always wanted to play, but never did - since I never had a Sega CD.

Now about Rockstar Games on the PC - the things w/ them are this:
I think most of us CAG PC gamers here have seen plenty of Rockstar Games on sale. And likely, we already have most of them by now - except GTA5 PC, obviously.
Granted, I don't know how much pull you have w/ your NewEgg bosses + with the publishers when trying to pitch some game deals for the consumer - but, I'd certainly love to see new trend-setting, barn-burning deals from you guys. I don't know about most CAG'ers, but my game-buying habits of late haven't been anywhere as interesting as it once was, in the last few previous years. NewEgg is a big name website for computer-stuff, for sure - and I'd love to see more reasons for me to buy more than just hardware here + there from you guys; and maybe a handful PC game downloads once in a while. Namely, I'd love to see on sale some PC games we ain't really seen brick down on sale a bit around here hit a nice sale.
EDIT:

I also just remembered - I somewhere have a retail copy of the Castlevania + Contra Collection for the PC.

Hard to give it for 50 when we can barely keep it in stock at MSRP =pHe'd also like a GeForce GTX 970 for $50, while he's dreaming.
So true but this site saved my ass, http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx980/. I'm guessing you guys got a lot of restock on Tuesday as I was finally able to snag a second 980.
With statements like this you got a sale from me I will be buying from a gamer/store rep that likes to post deals and give feedback.
Did you say second 980 damn. I used that same site to pick up my two Asus Strix 970 but would have loved to save up for the 980s because I usually keep my cards (switching out two EVGA 580s) for awhile so I usually go with the higher cards but after selling so stuff and other means only came up with enough for the 970s. Which ones did you get if you don't mind telling?
So, are these games going to have different prices throughout the month on certain days, weeks, or whatever?
I don't think the actual sale-prices are up yet.
NewEgg is based in California. Maybe the sale goes live at midnight west-coast time. (i.e. two hours from now)
I went with a pair of EVGA Superclocked ACX 2.0's. Now I'm just hoping EVGA gets some back plates going as they look kind of ugly.
Everquest is my favorite game of all time. Hands down. My greatest gaming memories, and some of my favorite social memories of all time come from that game. RIP Sullon Zek, you'll always be alive in my heart.
Yeah, it's cheaper in the Steam-sale at 75% off at $12.49:
Well, amazon pricematched steam, so it's also $12.49 but being 58% off, a strange discount honestly.
Good to see Amazon price-matching Steam - as in, if Murdered: Soul Suspect gets even cheaper in a Steam-sale and Amazon might match it, I might jump in on it.
