Title: Sales/Promotions
Post by: desocietas on November 22, 2011, 02:25:03 pm
Oh, man, too many already...  Here's just a few I had to jump on:

- Gamefly is doing a $12 off 2 pre-owned game sale (member loyalty discount can't be stacked)
http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/63026
- XBLA is doing several deals, including Pinball FX... looks like it's time for me to add more tables!

Haha, I know, I've already been spending too much on online purchasing, and I know this holiday season's going to be bad.  I'll be waiting for a price drop on Skyrim, the latest Professor Layton, amongst many more, I'm sure.

Magic 2012 get! I may spring for Pinball FX tables, but I may also wait and see what deals crop up on Friday/Monday.

Skylanders are on sale (http://ow.ly/7CXh5)... anyone have this game/mess of collectibles?  The hype definitely has me intrigued, even though it seems like I'd like it better if I:
- liked/were any good at platformers
- had a local friend or two who'd be into playing it as well

Actually, Dejobaan Games released a semi-expansion to AaaaAAAAaaAAAaAa... etc, which I'm interested in. But other than that, looks like the sales just aren't for me.

Sega still refuses to sell the Sonic Genesis games in a pack, too.

As usual with Steam sales, I don't buy anything unless it's one of the "featured" sales, just in case something I want ends up being "featured" after I bought it (if you check, there's more on sale than just the featured games). Then, on the last day, I'll buy anything I want that's on sale that didn't get "featured". Nothing I want right now (I will say DNF for 6$ is a great deal if you're a Duke fan, but I already have it), but more deals will pop up every day.

Wait a sec. Duke's already on sale for six bucks? Dammit, I'd predicted it'd go down that much by Christmas!

Hm, from Natsume's recent tweet, I have a feeling they might be giving away a horse next... *rubs chin*

Also, Toys 'r' Us is having a BOGO 50% off sale... Wondering if this'll be the lowest price I'll be able to get Professor Layton and the Last Specter...

The mods for PC are really awesome. I have it on the 360 and a friend has it on PC. I'm a tad jealous. I'm not really a PC game player, but if you are and your computer can handle it, I would suggest picking it up on PC.

Yeah, I like the idea that I'll always be able to theoretically play the game while games tied to a console are at the mercy of current-gen and future consoles with/out backwards-compatibility.  However, after playing Dragon Age and Magicka, I've confirmed to myself I'm not a strong PC player... I'm much more comfortable with a controller.

What kind of mods were of interest to you, @darko?

Woot has the Razer TRON gaming mouse on sale today for 29.99. It looks pretty cool, but I'm prolly going to pass on it.

Where to start? Different armor crafting, turning every baddie into a , dual wielding of 2-handed weapons, etc. Just a bunch of fun stuff!

Do you guys think we should create a separate Deals forum? It'd help boost our threads and allow for more details discussions.

That's a good idea, actually. Were you thinking another subforum inside of Marketplace, perhaps?

Well, until then...

For anyone who didn't get the first three Blackwell games from the Indie Royale pack, they're now available on Steam for $3.74 each (25% off).

Plus Blackwell Deception (the newest one!) is $7.49!

They don't seem to be showing up on searches at the moment, but I can access their store pages from Steam itself.

Legacy: http://store.steampowered.com/app/80330/
Unbound: http://store.steampowered.com/app/80340/
Convergence: http://store.steampowered.com/app/80350/
Deception: http://store.steampowered.com/app/80360/
Bundle with all four games: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13237/ ($14.99)

Actually, it looks like Amazon is doing a videogame gold deal day.   Dead Island for $25.
