I picked up MLB 15 on PS4 Sunday for $17 at Best Buy and I'm loving it for the most part. I haven't played a Baseball game since the Gamecube era and I'm really enjoying it. The thing that most surprised me is that it's not too hard. Seems like so many baseball games over the years made it nigh impossible to get a hit or strike dudes out. This one is just right for me.

I am disappointed in the shitty 15fps framerates whenever they do those close-up cutscenes though. I really thought the game would perform better given the graphics aren't anything spectacular.

I was thinking the same thing when I first started playing. I am in Double-A ball right now, and was on a hot streak. Top players in RBI and home runs. I was thinking that this game was maybe too easy, but now I a fighting a cold streak so it has made things quite interesting!

It's normally $1500. Don't be fooled by the phony prices places list. Use 3Camel to compare history.

Doesn't it also come with 1TB worth of 4k movies or is that normal?

Yea, it's broken. Not updating correctly.

Really Amazon's fault for hyping it up. Tv commercials for this? lol

 

[Vooduu]

There's only one thing I have a tab open for and I'm not telling! lmao

 

[mantis23]

Samsung 4K TV deal is crazy good (normally $2900, on sale for $999). 50".

the MSRP is $2,900 but that is nowhere near what it sells for. The 55" version sells for $1899 and the 60" version is only $1999

Its a decent deal but really only a few hundred off.

How is the Alienware Alpha ASM100-1580 Intel Core i3 Gaming Console?

 

[Iorv3th]

Can you use any type of recharger? Don't want to burn down my house like last time

No it needs to be a Ni-MH charger.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

It does, but the thing is regularly $50 (and Amazon pretends it's $300 or something).

Ah, I think it was disappointing but I'm not mad. Just, whatever. It's not like I spent much time checking it out. I went to their page, looked, saw nothing interesting, and was like, oh, it wasn't that great. I mean if I had spent time and effort I might be upset but its' not like I waited in line or even drove somewhere to go look at the deals.

I think who really got trolled was the other retailers who decided they had to compete with this. Those guys I could see being upset (but it's not like Amazon has a duty to be fair to them ).

My opinion would be that it's too dated to invest in, but others may disagree.

Anything noteworthy yet?

It's Valve's fault. Steam sales have set the bar so high no sane company can choose to follow.

Don't fall for their claims. That specific TV is last year's discontinued model that goes for around $1150 from other sites, without the movie pack

 

[Scrawnton]

The order CE had a real deep cut from $60 to $20, makes me hopeful for the ESO that is about to drop in ten minutes.

Is there a better option worth looking at?

I'm interested in the Alienware if it's under $300.

 

[j-wood]

Site just died for me.

 

[Black Republican]

the order 1886 only dropped to $29.99 CAD


fuck that

 

[Kinsella]

Really Amazon's fault for hyping it up. Tv commercials for this? lol

Not for this. Those commercials were to get people to sign up for Prime. I bet Amazon got what they wanted, too. We didn't though.

 

[Dreamwriter]

No, it's Amazon's fault for claiming it's going to be better than Black Friday. Black Friday is a high bar to match.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Nah, it's Amazon's fault for comparing it to Black Friday. It raised people's expectations. I'm not too buttmad though. I was only looking for a few niche items that I didn't expect to go on sale. It does upset me that those few items actually increased in price this week though.

 

[Deleted member 325805]

No more PS4 games on UK Amazon right? Internet has been down for the last 4 hours while they fixed it.

 

[(mat)]

They never said it will be better. They said there will be more deals.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

naw, you did that to yourself. they said there would be more deals than Black Friday. they never said that the deals would be better.

edit: Hah, see that someone else gets it.

 

[Lasthope106]

Tried to buy The Order and the site kept saying I could join the waitlist but it kept resetting. Pretty sure I ain't getting one at this point.

I'm more disappointed than mad, though part of it is Amazon's fault for hyping it so much, considering they had freakin' TV commercials (one could argue it was to get people to just join Prime than the sale itself) & comparing it to Black Friday (though I guess they were aiming for quantity over quality).

It didn't help Amazon didn't even let you preview sales beforehand, especially considering you need a Prime membership to even get some of these deals.

 

[majik13]

Did that 75 dollar 32 in TV already drop?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Welp bought that Tekton electronics kit and that's about it...

 

[SeZMehK]

This is fucking pathetic. The deals suck but when there is something I want, the website is broken and can't grab it.... >.>

 

[FinKL]

Site is soooo slow atm. Curious about ESO, is $35(GCU) after tax at BB right now

 

[AkuMifune]

Yeah, but. They were hyping this thing themselves.

This is like amiibo. You can't get anything you want lol

 

[SeZMehK]

I love how I am getting kicked out of waiting list... >.>

 

[Lnkn52]

The sales seem very disappointing. And I was going to resubscribe to Prime yesterday. #NOPE

Spoiler

I didn't fall for the trap.

 

[Scrawnton]

Damn.

That joke is starting to be overused recently. It needs to go back in to hiding for a year.

 

[BiggNife]

does anyone have a link to that simpsons lightning deal? I dont see it.

 

[darkwing]

Damn.

the day is not yet done

 

[JaseMath]

They said more deals than BF, not better.

 

[Caja 117]

a bit off topic, do I need to have the disk in the Console to play the game?

 

[Ilive1up]

69.72 for a pair of ray-bans. OK with that.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

nope.

 

[FloatOn]

I picked mine up for $388. I also picked up extra ram.

Originally the base model was $550 so anything less than $400 is worth it considering it runs equal to or better than ps4 and xbox one.

 

[darkwing-buck]

If ES:O only gets a $5 cut im gonna go back to bed lol

 

[Korosenai]

This

 

[NoblesseOblige]

They said more deals than BF, not better.

Yes, this has been said dozens of times already. But you'd have to be so out of touch with reality that you're extradimensional if you think comparing it to Black Friday on any measure doesn't set the bar high for people's expectations.

 

[RedSwirl]

There's not going to be a Witcher 3 deal is there...

Have they put GTA V up yet T_T. Damn work..

Did someone say they were going to?

 

[ExVicis]

If ES:O only gets a $5 cut im gonna go back to bed lol

This and 2 other things are all I'm waiting on. Thus far this has been just like some regular sale at best.

 

[Zonic]

Drops in about 10 minutes. Picture seems to show every season available on DVD, so not sure if it's a bundle or if all seasons will be the same price.
