Great deals

[Archangel]

I think it was Animaniax who suggested such a thread a while back but he never started one. Post any good deals you find in any areas of your interest, preferably available online. Subscribe to the thread so you don't miss any.

Example:


Crysis 2 for PC download for $10 on Amazon.com right now.

I usually just check out www.slickdeals.net for good deals. They're usually pretty good at finding deals and getting them for as cheap as possible with coupons and such.

Amazon.com has the Logitech G500 gaming mouse (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-G500-Programmable-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B002J9GDXI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329237082&sr=8-1) for $50 today. Ordered mine.

[Animeniax]

Newegg has the Asus VE248H (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236102) 24" LED monitor for $170 with a promo code, expires 2/15. Ordered mine.

I do need a new gaming mouse, but man... getting a new mouse is a big commitment. If it doesn't feel right then its a complete waste.

[Animeniax]

I hear you, but I'm not that picky and I don't think the mouse matters all that much, it's more about the skill of the player in my mind. I got the G500 today, along with a Func F10.s... pretty amazing combination.

I love how the mouse pointer tracks compared to the MX518 I just replaced. The gripping areas of the G500 are textured and I can see that getting gross with dead skin cells after extended play. Otherwise it's smooth as silk and feels great, particularly once you've gotten the weights right so it feels just right under your hand. I thought the weights were gimmicky, but they do make a difference in the feel and movement of the mouse.

The VE248H 24" LED I got also reveals a difference over the 24" LCD I replaced. The LED backlight makes the image pop and everything is more vivid and bright. I think it will make my eyes more tired after long viewing periods, or maybe I just need to get used to it.

Best $300 I've spent in a while.

[Buffalobiian]

I hear you, but I'm not that picky and I don't think the mouse matters all that much, it's more about the skill of the player in my mind.

That is true - after you've gotten used to the mouse that is.

Weight, friction, sensitivity and overall curvature are the main things that take getting used to for me. Wireless models are so much heavier. Some gotwooters like heavy mice because they find them more precise. I find lighter mice better because of their ease of movement.

[EpyonNext]

I do need a new gaming mouse, but man... getting a new mouse is a big commitment. If it doesn't feel right then its a complete waste.

If you have a Fry's electronics nearby(or some other store that price matches internet deals), and a smartphone that can bardcode scan:

Go to the store,
find the mouse you want,
scan the barcode,
if you have a droid use google shopper to show you the lowest price,
profit.

See, I filled in that ???? bullshit for you.

Thats how I got 50 bucks off my newest mouse AND was able to find one that fit my hands right.

[Kraco]

... Or you could just read the mouse's brand and model and google that information. As long as you aren't interested in some thirteen in a dozen Chinese mice, there are only so many decent brands around. But yeah, all in all bigger stores are very usefull for checking out how a mouse really feels like, even if you ended up buying the thing from elsewhere. I still have my MX518, although the friction material on the sides is starting to wear off badly.

I'm tempted to get Twisted Metal, Storm Generations, and something else.

Hmm, for me it's Uncharted Twin Pack, Generations... and maybe something else...

Diablo 3, not a bad game, but not really worth the wait either...unless you could get it for 10 dollars. And even then...Here it is anyway, Diablo 3 from Toys R' Us at the promotional price of $9.99:

Alternatively, buy torchlight 2 which is way better in every way that matters and is at the low low, non promotional price of 20 bucks on steam.

Edit: Didn't mean to double post. If a mod would merge the content of the two posts together I'd appreciate it.

Kotor I & II for 2,50€ each

If you haven't played them yet, this is the time.

[Animeniax]

Both are definitely worth a play for that price. I didn't see many other deals on steam, but this is the first day. Unless anyone can recommend The Walking Dead for $7.50?

[KrayZ33]

saw Darksiders 2 on steam for 19€ -> Woah, why not it won't get much cheaper than this ....
ended up buying the season pass and other dlcs... 26€

<Arkangel> Post that in the great deals thread
<Arkangel> They're giving away metro 2033 if you like their facebook page

Since he's banned, I'm only posting it here in Archie's stead. I will accept no responsibility whatsoever if the deal is broken or something.

[Animeniax]

Ahhh shit I paid $16.50 for this game in Oct. It's a good game, great atmosphere, good story, excellent soundtrack, and multiple endings.

[Uchiha Barles]

Can't seem to get to the page. Ah well.

Here's the actual link to the metro 2033 deal, I couldn't get there from the one in Kraco's post.

Hmm... That's interesting. The link did take me to a page that looked valid when Archie asked me to post it here. Something must have happened to it afterwards. But when I click it now, it goes to the facebook main page. But then again, it's facebook, so I reckon weird behavior is to be expected.

[TwisT]

Yea i tried the one you posted yesterday and even though i came to the same looking site it didn't work. i never got a code. With this new link i got it just fine. Just redeemed it on Steam and now have the game in my list.

Anyone got any amazon gift cards that they don't plan on using?

[Dark Dragon]

Green Man Gaming (http://www.greenmangaming.com/bundles/#bundle-47) has a pretty great deal for anyone interesting in getting Bioshock Infinite.

You get Bio 1 and your choice of Bio 2, Civ 5, Spec Ops 2, Darkness 2 or Mafia 2 by pre-purchasing Bioshock Infinite.

For anyone not familiar with them, they'll give you a code that will allow you to download the game on your steam account.

Amazon needs to open a Euro-Amazon to service you guys without the exorbitant international shipping costs.

Corrected.

I'm still on the fence regarding the GMG offer because I've already got Bioshock 1 and 2.

[Animeniax]

Nope, no sarcasm intended. Is shipping from UK to mainland Europe significantly cheaper than from the US?

To be honest I'd rather not order from Amazon because they're just the online Walmart. But both stores do have the best prices, so it's hard not to.

[darkshadow]

12€ for Dishonored is pretty good by itself, the rest is just gravy.

[animus]

Seems to be region dependent because I don't see Dishonored when I click it. All I see are The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Deluxe, Doom 3 BFG, Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Pack, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY, Fallout 3: GOTY, Hunted: The Demons Forge, Brink and RAGE

[darkshadow]

No they removed it, since it's not showing up for me (or anyone else) anymore either.

[Buffalobiian]

Oh wtf, I was going to leave it for a few hrs as I slept. :(

edit: " If you specifically want Dishonoured, check back Monday afternoon (UK time) when we should have more stock!"

Guess I'll do that then. Meanwhile, I can't decide if I want FO3: GOTY or Rage. I've already got FO3 on DVD though...

[Buffalobiian]

Rainbow Six Siege Starter Edition is available for ~11USD. It's the full game with characters unlockable using in-game credit (xp gained by playing).

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/251046?utm_source=subscription&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newdealwat


How does the Operator unlocking system in the Starter Edition differ from the Standard Edition?
Please refer to the comparison below:

STARTER EDITION

Instant Unlock:
2 random Operators from a pool of the most intuitive Operators at entry level: Rook, Sledge, Ash, Fuze, Mute, and Smoke.
600 R6 Credits to spend on either additional Operators (recommended) or other additional content

Slower unlocking of the remaining 16 Original Operators (GIGN, SAS, GSG9, SPETSNAZ, FBI):
12,500 Renown or 300 R6 Credits to unlock 1 Operator
Approx. 15 hours to unlock 1 operator using in-game Renown

Access to all Post-Launch Operators (JTF2, Navy SEALs and upcoming CTUs):
25,000 Renown or 600 R6 Credits to unlock 1 Operator
Season Pass unlocks all Post-Launch Operators

STANDARD EDITION

Access to 20 original Operators through minimum playtime (GIGN, SAS, GSG9, SPETSNAZ, FBI):
Between 500 to 2000 Renown to unlock 1 Operator
Approx. 0.5- 2 hours to unlock 1 operator

Access to all Post-Launch operators (JTF2, Navy SEALs and upcoming CTUs):
25,000 Renown or 600 R6 credits to unlock 1 Operator
Season Pass unlocks all Post-Launch Operators

This is a really good game. The player base isn't as large as it could be, which is where this starter edition comes it. This feels much more organic and rich than CS while still combining that great teamwork play.
