RIPPA Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Since Kevin asked me nicely - and really it is probably easier for it all in one place anyway. All you video game deals go in here - just be nice and make clear which systems it applies to (or obviously Steam when they aren't trying to give away your personal info) The XBOX Free with Gold games for January Thief (Xbox One) - December 16-January 15 Killer Instinct: Season One Ultra Edition (Xbox One) -- January 1-31 Zheros (Xbox One) -- January 16-February 15 Dirt Showdown (Xbox 360) -- January 1-15 Deus Ex: Human Revolution (Xbox 360) -- January 16-31 PS+ January lineup Hardware: Rivals (PS4) Grim Fandango Remastered (PS4) Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) Medal of Honor: Warfighter (PS3) Nihilumbra (PS Vita) Legends of War: Patton (PS Vita)
Death From Above Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 The Humble Monthly bundle (Steam product codes) has Alien: Isolation as the first announced game, for $12. No matter what bundle trash they put with it, that already seems like reasonable value for your dollar right there. 1
Jiji Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 100% yes. If you don't got it, get it. If you don't get it... figure it out.
ARMDRAGON Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 20% off most preorders at Amazon (Prime) today.

No matter what bundle trash they put with it, that already seems like reasonable value for your dollar right there. Honestly, while the regular bundles can be hit or miss, I've yet to see a Monthly that wasn't well worth the twelve bucks.
Tabe Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 20% off most preorders at Amazon (Prime) today.Ex: Uncharted 4 - $48. Great price for that one. 1
Cliff Hanger Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Big PSN "Playstation Essentials" sale. I'm not seeing anything actually essential to me that I didn't already have, but a lot of the prices are pretty good.
Brian Fowler Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 The 20% discount is apparently permanent for Prime subscribers for all physical copy pre-orders and the first two weeks games are out.
Cliff Hanger Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Good to know; that's definitely new. I went ahead and ordered SF5 and the Ratchet and Clank reboot, as both are situations where I more or less trust the dev teams not to fuck the fans over. The fact that the R&C game is $40 weirds me out, though; on the one hand, it's a remake of the first game in the series. On the other, it's a series that's been running for nearly 15 years and has always sold fairly well, and a tie-in to a movie that hasn't been farmed out to a B-team. It does more to make me doubt the movie than the game, odd as that may sound. (I still predict that Qwark will be much less villainous than he was in the first couple PS2 games.)
Big Fresh Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Ratchet & Clank is only $40??? I'll be right back.... 1

RandomAct Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Big PSN "Playstation Essentials" sale. I'm not seeing anything actually essential to me that I didn't already have, but a lot of the prices are pretty good. I did see a few things in there that made me wish I wasn't so broke. I still have so many holes in my PS3 and Ps4 collection that I want to fill.
Matt D Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 The 13 year old/family got a WiiU for Xmas and it just boggles the mind how things don't go down in price. I'm used to PC gaming where within two and a half years everything's around five dollars. It's been a while since I touched a console. My idea of the relative economic value of two year old video games does not sync up with what two year old console games cost.

My problem is that they still charge full price on like 3 year old 3DS games 1
J.T. Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I am sooooo loading Deus Ex next week. That PS+ line-up is ridiculously solid.
Jiji Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Yeah, I tend to try and wait out Nintendo on their games but they just don't drop in price. Probably why I only have 3 WiiU games and one of them came with the console.

My problem is that they still charge full price on like 3 year old 3DS games They're also transitioning over to doing one or two physical runs of things and then going digital only, which leads to goofy shit like Bayonetta 2 - from last year - already being scarce and going for more than retail. Which means paying $60 for the digital version of something from two years ago seems OK because hey, at least it's not $85 like the disc. It's insidious as fuck.
Big Fresh Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Pikmin 3 is another one. Good luck getting that on disc, and it's one of my top 3 Wii U games.
RIPPA Posted January 15, 2016 Author Posted January 15, 2016 THAT explains why I couldn't find it for my kid who asked for it for Christmas
Big Fresh Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 THAT explains why I couldn't find it for my kid who asked for it for Christmas Can still be gotten digitally on the eShop. And I give it my highest recommendation.
The Z Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Seems to be more like a Nintendo of America thing than a Nintendo in general thing. I've never experienced that over here. Pikmin 3 is in stock at Amazon for €39.99. It's true that the prices for Nintendo games almost never go down, though.
Kevin Wilson Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 EA Sports is offering free access to the EA Access Vault to XBox Live Gold Members from January 19th to January 24th. Games included: Battlefield Hardline EA Sports UFC Battlefield 4 FIFA 15 Madden 25 Dragon Age: Inquisition NHL 15 Titanfall Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare Need for Speed Rivals NBA LIVE 15 Peggle 2 FIFA 14 Madden 14 A week isn't long but should give me enough time to beat Battlefield and see what FIFA is like. Also I always wanted to poke Titanfall. I"ll be honest I forgot this even existed, only had my One for a few weeks but it isn't advertised anywhere.
