No, it says 29.99, only 31% claimed on the main page. I put it in my cart and the price goes up 10 bucks. WTFFFF

Keep going until payment page, it discounts it on the final page before you place the order. All of them do that.

Ya, it subtracts it after the payment page. You'll see a box check on the payment page to use promotional credit which is how they discount them now.

Amazon is the epitome of not paying full price for even the newest games.

The Wii discounts went quickly. Just goes to show that cheap cash discounts usually triumph over more expensive gift card options.

Alright, replaced my dead X360 #2 with that 4gb slim deal. Will temporarily use my 16gb thumbstick as storage until I figure out how much I'm willing to pay for a real hard drive. Not sure if the tranfer cable for $18 is worth that for me. I can't think of many saves I really need to transfer over.

Also picked up Halo Reach, Red Dead Redemption (because I've given up hope of a PC version at this point), and Enslaved to go with it.

Will be nice to play X360 again. Hopefully this one doesn't die :\ I realized the side effect of continually replacing dead X360s is you amass a mountain of X360 controllers, lol. I think I'll have like 4 or 5 after this arrives and I only play 1p games ^^; Are they worth anything if you try to sell them?

Are you adding it from the Lightning deals page? If you do it from the item page you don't get the Lightning Deal price. If you are, then I dunno, sounds like they fucked up (again).

Bought myself a red Wii to go with DKCR. :D

Anyone know any good component cables to buy (or something better for HDTVs)?
Click to expand...

Just buy the cheapest ones possible. You might want to think about hooking up to a SDTV though.

I'm saving up a lot of money next year. Black Friday always sneaks up on me for some reason and I can never buy much. There's some Really good deals.

That's good because if you don't like you can trade-in for $30 on Amazon.

To be fair, I'm kind of exaggerating from my personal experience. There are few who like it as it is.

I almost bought Red Wii but then decided against it. I've a feeling Wii successor is not far ahead or permanent price drop at least.

Top First Person Shooter of All Time? Trying to think if this will be Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops.

Edit: Blah, it is Modern Warfare 2

Just got back from K-Mart, got New Vegas for $35, no problem.

That $2 of tax hurts though :/. Rarely ever shop non-Amazon.

Thinking about getting Reach and Fable 3, but then if something else pops up in an upcoming deal, would amazon still ship that separate order for free?

Pulled the trigger on a Wii, finally. I was slow and missed the red one though. Oh well. I hope Mario Galaxy 2 is on sale later today, that's what I really want to play.

Just got a shiny black Wii for $170 and it feels good. I also got Reach for $30 which is just about the price I was willing to pay for it.

When I buy that xbox 360 with the $60 credit, will the credit just automatically go onto my account?
Click to expand...

Yes, but sometimes it takes a couple days for it to show up. You'll receive an email when your credit is ready.

It usually goes into your account when your item ships (to prevent ordering an item, using credit, and then canceling said item) but the actual use of credit is automatic. You don't have to put in any codes.

Not going to happen in time.

So I deleted new Vegas, but when I got to checkout it didn't say for which platform, now I don't seem to be able to get it even though it is only like 27% claimed. 8(
