Probably going to order FO3 for PC and the MGS Essential Collection. I really need to play through more than MGS1 and a bit of Twin Snakes to justify my MGS series trolling.

If I can get a $200 PS3 it will be insta buy for me. Like... immediately if I get the deal. LBP or not.

Same here, instant purchase. But how many people are actually going to get an invitation? Anyone know?

GoGamer.com on BF, more good PC deals:

Far Cry 2 PC - $29.90;
C&C: Red Alert 3 PC - $33.90
Left 4 Dead PC - $34.90
Fallout 3 PC - $32.90
Mercenaries 2 PC - $17.90

Probably going to get Mercs 2. Not too interested in Left 4 Dead, would rather honestly play some serious sam instead.

Damn Amazon has some good deals this year. I really liked the Pure demo so I'll definitely be picking that up (for 360 probably, PS3 controls felt a bit loose to me). I also never played Resistance 1 and for $15 I don't see how I can't play it. Sucks that I'll get it in the Red Box of Shame.

Same here, but Serious Sam's online community is dead. Getting Mercs 2 over L4D is like saying, "I like cake, but I would rather have chocolate than vanilla. So I'm going to go get syphilis instead." The patch they promised in October still isn't here. Don't give the wrong message to publishers by buying buggy, broken games.

if mercs 2 on the PC is a bust (and woah, I should have googled stuff up about the pc version, I just figured it was another "better on teh pc!" port like I've gotten used to), I'll skip the gogamer order altogether-everything else I've got covered.

How much inventory does Amazon usually have for their sales? I want Heavenly Sword but don't feel like stay up till/waking up at 2 AM to get it.

Got back from Gamestop's B2G1 sale. Ended up with Fable 2 LE (they had one LE copy sitting there at the same price as the regular editions SNATCH), Little Big Planet and Command and Conquer 3 Red Alert. I was hoping for Valkyria Chronicles but nada and I was debating between Rockband 2 and C+C Red Alert but i'm a big time RTS fan and only mildly interested in the guitar games. In fact I really just want the AC/DC pack so Command and Conquer won out.

Newegg has Burnout Paradise for $20. Any differences between the PS3 and 360 version that I should know about?

PS3 version gets the free DLC faster and looks better.

Sounds good. Just a heads up incase noone can get this at NewEgg though. I also saw the game along with Tomb Raider Anniversary both for 20 bucks each at Target this afternoon.
Only saw 360 versions though.

Well I'm at least going to Target and getting Boom Blox. And then it is a choice between Burnout: Paradise and Brothers In Arms.

I think I'll probably go with Burnout since BiA's price is apparently plummeting and will soon be that cheap anywhere. Burnout has been sitting at $30 for awhile now so I might as well grab that.

Hmm... I'm seriously considering the Gamestop PS2 deal
PS2 console (Silver or Black) + $30 Gift Card + Free $19.99- Game $129.99

I don't know gaf - I had a PS2 years ago but sold it when I moved and ever since that darn SotC backlog on 1up FM I've been tempted to buy a new one

Anyone here lucky enough to participate in Amazon's PS3 bargains?

I made my family all sign up, and none of us were selected for that $199.99 PS3.

Here's hoping I get selected for a chance at the big TV.

up late playing dawn of war, went ahead and ordered my $10 copy of Assassin's Creed PC from Best Buy (free shipping, nice) and got a copy of the Crysis Limited Edition from Gamestop for $20 as a gift to a friend who I helped spec out a machine for gaming last month.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if Resident Evil 4 Wii is on the cheap anywhere on Friday?

I got chosen to participate in the PS3 bundle, but I still highly doubt I will be able to get it in time. If it's anything like the first year, their servers will end up becoming a snail race. Oh well, maybe it will be more stable since it's an invitation only race.

Not gaming, but Fry's has Planet Earth (Blu-ray) for 37.99. Unfortunately the site is basically non-functional and ordering is impossible at the moment.

That's why they went to this new system last year. If you got an invitation, you'll be able to buy it no problems.

That 360 Circuit City deal is tempting the hell out of me. Fiancee might kill me though.

Is there any significant difference between a new and refurbished hard drive?
