Burnout Paradise Ultimate (PC) - Free

Insert this link into the proxy: http://www.hotukdeals.com/visit?m=15038&q=834553

You have to use the Proxy because it's some sort of error or deal only on the UK site.

I did this, and it worked, but I can't play the game. The software I use to play Windows games on my Mac fully supports Burnout Paradise, but it doesn't work with the download manager you're forced to get it through.

download the demo off of the Nvidia* site and then when you put in the activation code, it becomes the full game.

The new Medal of Honor is the deal of the day for today on Amazon. The price today is $37.99 as opposed to $59.99.

However, personally I think sales of this game have been lackluster (compared to black ops) and so this may reflect a more permanent price change. If you wait long enough this game will probably be $19.99 like every other bargain bin game. Then again, if you already own Black Ops is this game even worth getting? Customer feedback for this game is 3 stars, so.... you decide.

EA was letting you purchase the game for free. After purchase they would send you an supply you with the activation code and a link to download the game.

Insanolord didn't like the EA download manager, so I linked him to the Nvidia demo of the game that was actually the full game once you enter the activation code supplied by EA.

I don't know if the deal is active anymore, but I know I got my free copy (even though I just bought it on Steam a few days before) and so did Insanolord.

PopCap Games is offering all of their games (except Bejeweled 3 and bundles) 50% off through their site. The sale is good until January 3.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #382 on:** December 28, 2010, 05:34:09 PM »

Free game with the purchase of a PS3 Move bundle($399) or just the Move bundle($99)
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&identifier=S_FreeMoveGame&XID=A:1225267:10396361:u0t0f0fp44359c0s525:CJ&ref=http://slickdeals.net/

Choices:
EyePet
The Shoot
TV Superstars
Kung Fu Rider
Start the Party
Slingstar Dance
Sports Champions
Get Fit with Mel B
High Velocity Bowling
The Fight LIghts Out
SlingStar Dance Party Pack

I don't know why anyone would choose Sports Champion as their free game since both bundles already include the game, but it's listed as one of the choices anyway.

Looks like Amazon has a deal now where you can get a $50 promotional credit when you buy the 160gb model PS3. If you're going to get a PS3 I would say buying it online from someplace like Amazon would be the way to go anyway, because that way you don't have to pay taxes, and tax on something $300 is considerable, so if you can avoid that why not? And Amazon's price is $295 so you save another $5 off the MSRP anyway. But the $50 promotional credit is apparently a limited time deal...

Unless you live in New York, where taxes are applied to online purchases too.

I swear this is like the 30th time you've said the exact same thing. New York charges sales tax for online purchases. Get over it. Amazon is tax free for 95% of Americans.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #386 on:** January 11, 2011, 08:34:07 PM »

And you smited me for that? Excuse me for pointing it out and helping those who might read this. Get over it, people help other people.

vudu · « **Reply #387 on:** January 11, 2011, 09:57:15 PM »

You're not helping anyone. You're just complaining. Anyone who lived in New York would already know they get charged sales tax for online purchases.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #388 on:** January 11, 2011, 10:01:15 PM »

Whatever, I commented and then you bitched. Let's move on.

It's still a good deal. The system is $5 off and you get a $50 credit.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #389 on:** January 12, 2011, 12:32:38 AM »

The $50 is towards a future Amazon purchase. But if you get a PS3 you're going to want games for it anyway, so...

A couple of deals from Toys R Us:

*Buy Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and get 50% off any other video game priced $59.99 or less
*Free $20 gift card when you buy the PlayStation Move bundle (which has the PlayStation Move, PlayStation Eye, and Sports Champions)
*Get the Wii version of the Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock super bundle (which has the game, guitar, microphone, and drums) for $99.99, which is $60 off the standard price

Best Buy has all games $29.99 and up for buy 2 get 1 free this week.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #392 on:** January 16, 2011, 08:30:29 PM »

I just bought a PS3 ($39.99) from Target through Amazon.com.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009VXAM0/ref=oss_product

I fully expect to not actually receive it, but if it goes through, then I will be one of the proudest PS3 owners ever (considering I only paid $60 w/ shipping).

edit: Also a LBP2 w/ DLC for $15.99 on EBay

When you add the item to your cart at Target.com you see this:

Not exactly a 60 GB PS3, eh?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #394 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:11:24 PM »

I just added one to my cart at Target and it says Sony PlayStation 3 with 60GB Hard Drive - says it won't ship for 2-4 weeks, but I'll let you know what happens. Could be the deal of the year.

Edit - bought one on Amazon and on Target, both out of stock of course. We'll see what happens. If the prices ends up being higher, Target will cancel your order, so it's win-win I guess. BNM was yours in stock?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #395 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:14:32 PM »

I know, but that's why I ordered it at Amazon.com and not Target.

No where on Amazon does it say anything about a zapper, my screen says:

so that is what I expect to argue if/when they send me the wrong item.

you should pay closer attention to when you're checking out. right before you place the order and after you put in your card info, 60GB PS3 changes to PlayStation 3 Move Advanced Shooter Grip (PlayStation 3) like vudu pointed out

That didn't happen to me, it stayed listed as a 60GB PS3.

Edit - in my e-mail it says that crap about Move, but even if I add one to my cart now it stays listed as 60GB PS3 (which has been out of production for a number of years). I doubt I'll get anything, but I'll be happy if I can any kind of PS3.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #398 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:26:24 PM »

Well, good luck then.

I went through the Target site several times and that's what happened to me before I just said screw it and bought it through Amazon instead.

UncleBob · « **Reply #399 on:** January 16, 2011, 11:28:18 PM »

Some of you are new to the world of cheap gaming. You don't order the $40 PS3 expecting to get it. If you do, that's awesome, but you won't.

No, you order it expecting Amazon to send you a $10 gift card for screwing up. Now, there's about a 50/50 chance that they do, but look at it this way - there are three possible outcomes:

1.) You get a $40 PS3.
2.) You get a $10 Amazon credit that you use to order a DS game at ~33% off.
3.) Nothing. They cancel your order and you're out nothing.
