I think I'll just replay Star Craft if I ever get the urge to play a RTS game.  I haven't played that in like 8 years.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Now I want to play StarCraft 2 as well. I've been meaning to replay the whole thing in anticipation for the upcoming sequel.

Not much of a deal, really, and it looks to be over now.  Amazon's current price for the game is just a shade under $49, which is still probably $10 than I want to spend for that game.  It doesn't look like I'll have to wait long for that game to drop to around that much with God of War 3 launching in a few weeks, though I suppose I do want the PS3 "divine edition" while it's still available to get the free DLC.
There was a Signature here. It's gone now.

Yeah, I posted that at 1:22am EST. The Amazon deal of the day expires at midnight on PST so when I posted there wasn't really a lot of time left on that deal, but I posted it anyway. I seen it earlier, and BnM's bumping of this thread motivated me to post it.

It pays to check Amazon's video game deal of the day every day. Many days its just some crap, but sometimes its something really worthwhile that makes checking it worth the effort.

That's why we have this thread, so that the person that does take the time to check it can let us know if something worthwhile comes up and all of us don't have to put in the effort.

If you are in the game club at best buy they have a 20 dollar off coupon for some titles like Brutal Legend Tekken and Modern Warefare 2. It's a great deal for Brutal Legend as the final price is $20. The coupon can be printed off their website.

Picked up MLB2K 09 at Target on clearance for $4.98 today. Why pay $55 more for the same game with a few roster changes!?

YMMV

There were some significant problems with MLB 2K9 that may or may not have been fixed in this year's version. I was able to make it somewhat playable by tweaking the sliders, but I'm glad my PS3 purchase gives me the option to pick the far-superior MLB The Show.

What I've experienced is fielders have a tendency to drop rouine fly balls way, way too often, and the first baseman will sometimes not be standing on the base, so a runner will reach base safely when the ball was there in time.

The player stepped into a vortex and  disappeared into another dimension. Maybe the game developers were thinking of that episode of the Simpsons where that baseball player went through some weird thing like that.

That.  Is amazing.  Time for me to upgrade to The Show.

Amazon's VG DOTD for today is Mass Effect 2 (PC/360) for $39.99 (29.99 for the PC version)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_85826191_2?ie=UTF8&docId=1000208101&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-1&pf_rd_r=0VXF9N5QC1JQAP2872BM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=496383031&pf_rd_i=468642

Having seen the TV ads for it I thought this seemed like an interesting title. I don't have a 360 though, but hey maybe I can get it for the PC?

$99 Xbox360 Arcade with Banjo/Viva Pinata bundle? (pre-order)
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=77573


I'm not 100% sure if this includes the system or not, or if it's just a game double pack since there are no details on the site. But $100 for an xbox360 and 2 games sounds like an amazing deal to me if it's true.

p.s. it wouldn't make sense to sell just those 2 games repackaged together for $100, so it must be a system bundle or a banjo/viva collection.

Ugh, an Arcade. If I get one it's going to be an elite.

You can add an HDD to an arcade if I'm not mistaken, but in order to do that you need to get a HDD and that would probably cost another $100 or so. In the end it probably wouldn't save you anything to go that road, however that way you could add a bigger hard drive than even the elite comes with by default.

I'm not sure whats worse, the RROD or the proprietary hard drives.  Either one is a deal breaker for me.

Not an Amazing Deal, but I went to Taco Bell last night and the cup gives you a code that gives you free DLC in Spore, The Sims 3 & Battlefield Heroes.
