1. Add Xbox 360 Live 12-Month Subscription Messenger Gold Pack to cart at $49.99.
2. Add Watchmen Movie Pack Offer ($24.99 value) to cart. Free with purchase of item above.

That's a crazy good deal. If I didn't have PGR4 and Gold I'd be all over it. I just went with the $19.99 1600-point card.

I went for all of it, ordered it as Pick Up in store, and they had three hours but didn't fill my order yet. I have a feeling it's not going to work out for me.

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Game of the year edition is on sale new at Game.co.uk for £17.99. I'm tempted but I'm not sure I would enjoy the game after experiencing Fallout 3.

Wooh... Crysis Warhead - dont have that one yet. Time to go a-shopping. I love the Best Buy.

GOG.com: Today's releases:
Rise of the Triad: Dark War ($5.99)
Seven Kingdoms 2 ($5.99)

I bought ROTT as soon as I got the news.

Edit: Arg, I meant to post this in the GOG.com thread.

Update on the Castle Crashers DLC thing from a while back, even though I was about post 2,000 I finally got my code last night. Woot! The King's Scepter is indeed the same one that's been floating around but the King is the only character that can use it at level 1. There's also a big golden anchor sword thing that's pretty sweet, and a lollipop. :9

BUY THIS. I've been meaning to post about BK: Nuts & Bolts, but this really is a fantastic game. Best game I played last year, maybe for the last two years.

Thanks for the heads up, it's definitely a game I'd been keeping on the back burner of my mind. It just got released at a bad time for me. But now I can add it to my pile o' shame/pile of pick-up-and-play casual gaming

Not sure how many NY-ers there are here, but...

The Virgin Megastores in NYC are going out of business, and pretty much everything is on sale. I can only vouch for the Times Square one (the Union Square branch isn't shutting its doors until May, so the sale probably hasn't hit there, yet) but all their video games seemed to be 20% off. And I picked up Rock Band 2 for 35% off ($120). Rock Band accessories were 20% off.

Damn... I wonder what will take up that huge space in the middle of Times Square. I have a lot of memories being a hooligan in high school and hanging out around Times Square and just wandering around the book section in the Virgin Megastore.

I'll bite for Crysis. I enjoyed Crysis Warhead.

Nice deal, just grabbed it

Can I just ask those of you who are thrilled about Rise of the Triad, what is so great about that game? I have alot of nostalgia for old games; is that what's going on here? For someone who has never tried it, are we going to be disappointed? I still play Doom 2, Thief 1, and System Shock so I'm not dissuaded by dated graphics. Its all about the gameplay.

Drunken Rockets? A code that causes fountains of gibs to cascade from the sky and run down walls? A magical bat? Dog mode?
This is just a great game with some really neat ideas. I believe it had a level randomizer as well so you could play through custom generated environments.

Here... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of...
Lots of info there.

Fallout 3 for the PS3 is Amazon's Deal of the Day for $34.98.

The game needs no introduction. And I think the PS3 version has been patched.

Amazon UK has 2100 points cards for £15.99. The offer has happened before and ended quickly so pounce sooner rather than later.

It depends. Rise of the Triad is a fantastic multiplayer game, and it has some great and weird ideas in it, but its single-player is rubbish. Get it if you can play it with friends, but don't get it for the sort of classic single-player experience you'd get from Doom 2, Thief, or System Shock.

Lego Indy (360) $10 w/FREE shipping @ GameFly

At that price, I had to dive in.

Snagged one myself. Already finished it on the Wii, but now I can get the nerd points for it!

I'd been waiting for the pc version price to drop, but this is better than expected. Cha-ching!

Got one. Hoping to ease my wife into some gaming and figure this might be one to help her get used to the controller a bit.

Just picked it up for $11.17 new at Radio Shack (there's one just down the block from where I work). It was completely serendipitous that I was even in the store. Even though I'm only mildly interested in the game, mild interest is plenty for an $11.17 sale.

What's the deal? Is there some brain melting glitch? Are they releasing a new version? This price is way too low. What gives?

It's been mentioned elsewhere, but UT3 on sale for $11.99 on Steam for while:

There's a heck of a lot more to the game than deathmatch.

For those of you interested in Unreal Tournament 3, Steam is letting people download and try the game for free this weekend. The whole thing. Be forewarned, it's an 8GB download and their servers seem to be getting slammed so depending on your luck and your connection this deal might mean you get to play an hour or two on Sunday night before deciding whether or not to buy. The sale ends on the 15th.
