Anyone got a link to that PS3 BF4 deal?
Is it really only the 360 and WiiU versions of Lego Marvel going on sale in the morning? I'm considering buying the PS3 version for $30, but don't want to if it's going to be on sale.
And a side note, I've never played a Lego game, is Marvel a good starting point? Are Batman2/DC or LOTR better? I'm not a superfan but I like all 3 universes about the same so that's not really going to factor in. Leaning towards Marvel simply because it's newer.

Is the 3DS deal still going on?
Yep that happens
Once you see the lightning deal on the main page, you have to put it in your cart, then if you don't buy it for I think 15 minutes it kicks it to the people on the wait-list, and starts cycling through those people at 2 minute intervals or something.
Is there a way to NOT use your gift card balance when buying a PSN Digital Game code? When I try to buy it, it brings me to a page where I have to enter my credit card info in (even though it should be saved) and says this:
And on the next page, there's no option to not use your credit. I'm trying to save it for something else. I mean... technically it doesn't matter, it's either going to save me money now or later, but I'd prefer to save it.

Just bought Battlefield 4 from Amazon. Selected the "PC Download" option. I assumed it would just give me an Origin code, but it wants me to download an installer. Does this link to my existing Origin account? (I'm not on my PC right now so I can't check.)

A bit off topic, but I figured I'd ask here: what's the "PlayStation Vita 3G/Wi-Fi Launch Bundle"? It seems like it includes a memory card (8GB) and a game (which has probably expired by now). Is it a good buy?

I've been wondering the same lol. I have no idea... When does it tell you you earned it for the lower price? do you have to keep refreshing?

Hope someone can clarify because I've been F5.gif for the last 10 mins.

I'm not sure how it works either. I just kept refreshing the page like every 2 minutes, then I saw 20 left in stock and clicked on the view lightning deals and there it was. It had "add to cart for $149.99". Try clicking on "view lightning deals" each time they have it in stock.

I don't know what number I am. It just says you are on the waiting list.

But how? So many people forgetting to complete checkout in time lol ?
EDIT: I see, it probably cycles through the wait list and 90% of people on there don't look in time to claim it.

So, unless Amazon has changed things this is how the waiting list works:
Once a customer places an item in their cart it is reserved for them. Meaning, the customer can take their precious time checking out and nobody else can purchase it from underneath them in the meantime. However, there is a time limit an item can be placed in a cart without being checked out, somewhere around 10-15 minutes. After this time limit the item is automatically removed from the customer's cart and placed back into open circulation.
Got that? Good.
Well... If an item "sells out" it might really not be sold out, but rather just placed into people's carts. So, after initial stock is depleted new customers are placed onto a waiting list. If someone doesn't purchase the item after placing it into their cart it is automatically removed and given to the next person on the waiting list. This new person can decide if they still want the item by allowing them to place it into their cart or once again be moved onto the next person in line.
You would be surprised at the number of people that quickly place item in their cart but never end up purchasing. You can be person #100+ on the waiting list and depending on the item stand a good chance at still getting it.

I didn't see any number for me. Where exactly does one look to see that? I checked my email and no email for the waiting list was sent.

Not liking the fact I can't see the Vita deal in Upcoming, even though it should be four hours away. Everyone else is linking there through the deal calendar I hope.
I don't even want Walking Dead - Sly - Uncharted, and the 4gig card is a waste...maybe the regular skus will also drop during the deal?

Is Risen 2 any worth it? Isn't it like a pirate RPG?

Not for me.
Thanks
Just to see if I had a hot streak going I went to Wal Mart to see if they had 3D Land and Paper Mario like 3 hours after they opened and they had 1 copy left of both so I got both of them for $40 total. The curse is definitely over lol.

Gotcha. I was able to get a 3DS XL, too, but I didn't see any number. Next time I want something and get put on the waiting list, I'll know where to look. Thanks.

Haha people are so weird. If I managed to get a 3DS XL for 150 fucking dollars I would make sure I hurry through checkout as fast as possible lol

Just keep trying man. When it says 20 (or so) left in stock, click on "view lightning deal" and you should see "add to cart for $149.99". I happen to get it by dumb luck. I didn't know what the hell I was doing because I didn't see a number either.
EDIT:
Aww shit. This just popped up.

Damn, sorry man.
Aww shit. This just popped up.

I'm sure they'll be another deal in a few weeks
I'm still waiting to get mine too.

I was getting that message over and over.
But still was able to get it. I think they will still be popping out from time to time if people cancel. Keep trying, hope you get one.
Grabbed Shin Megami Tensei IV after my bro told me it hit $30. It's a damn good deal that at price to sleep on it. My haul has been:
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (360, from MS Store)
Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
Theatrhythm
And the aforementioned demon collecting game. Think I'm going to stop my game buying spree there. Got too many damn games to play and physical games occupy occupy real word real estate. If another deal comes along that's too hard to pass on, I'll bite on it but I'm on a budget.
