Amazing Deals!
« on: May 07, 2006, 06:53:12 AM »
I don't know how much of a use this would be to anyone, but I just discovered a site that sells some pretty useful (IMHO) parts for a pretty good price (and shipping doesn't suck your soul out either).

electricquarter.com has a small selection of various parts. Of particular interest to me was:

Super Nintendo Controller Extension Cable - $1.75
Nintendo 64 Controller Extension Cable - $1.25
Nintendo Gamecube Controller Extension Cable - $1.75

Of course, your interest my vary, but they have Dreamcast Extension Cables, PS2-GCN adapters, etc... Might be worth checking out.

I know some people were excited over the GameCube cables when EBGames.com had 'em cheap... I think $1.75 is a bit less than EBGames.com had 'em for even (though I may be wrong). Hope this helps someone out.

Now if only they had NES extension cables.

Amazon.com's lightning deal at 2:00 PST today is probably going to be Time Crisis 4.  The hint for that time says, "Gift giving Crisis? It's almost Time 4 a great video game deal."

Amazon - Earth Defense Force 2017  19.99

Note: If you want to combine it with something for free shipping click add to cart from Amazon.com on the right hand side of the page. Since for me it comes up as target.com as the default seller.  Also the current status is that Amazon doesn't have any in stock as of now but Amazon charges you only when they ship the product.

Amazon Deal of the day Eye of Judgement for 44.99

This is a steal considering the Playstation Eye retail for 39.99, I was interested in the game and I bought it at 25 dollars off.

Thanks Shecky, I didn't realize we already had a General Gaming Amazing Deals thread. The question now is whether we need two separate threads (or three, isn't there a handheld one too?). Maybe I'll post a poll.

I think it's a good idea to have the different threads to keep things organized into categories. If I'm not mistaken, though, there are two Deals threads in Console Discussion (this one and another one, I think called Amazing Wii deals), those should probably be combined into one.

No need to link, but if you buy a PS3 at Wal-Mart, through the 7th, you get a $100 gift card (good for anything). Next week you get a $100 gift card when you buy any Blu Ray player, including the PS3. Oh, and Best Buy is matching the deal, just go to customer service. Circuit City sucks, and won't match gift card deals.

No point in waiting for the Wii Port if you have a PS2...

RockBand bundle for PS2 only $99 at Best Buy - that's a Hell of a deal, if you ask me.

Anyone else seen those 35 dollar 360 ads on nwr?  Are they in any way legit?  The website is 360sforcheap.com

So far I see that your payment is safe. Hold on. 

Nah I can't find ****(nothing on CAG, Ripoffreport, or even google.) at all on this website. It is probably a scam. But your 35 dollar payment is secure, you also stop payment if need be. 

You never know with these things, although it is likely a scam. It could be worth the 35 dollar risk ;)

Final word after the whois and such is that it is a scam. They have a PS3 version and wii version of the website.  Secondly, I search their contact phone number and there are hits for some interesting things and it seems that everyone gets message box full when you call it. 

Neowin forums successfully got a whois before he hid the information, which is awesome:

http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t649471.html

But ya, just because of the near unlimited supply of broken 360(Zing!), demand after 3 years of existence would still bring the price over $35 dollars.

HOWEVER, if you are determined, grab a onetime use credit card from paypal and have your way with the site.
