~ Cheap Games & Great Deals! ~
So this thread is for posting sale prices and for tips and hints for finding cheaper games.
I'll make a quick mention to renting games first, GameFly is the best option for that. You can get a 2 week free trial for that to get a feel for it, but then however it gets a little expensive. 22.95 a month to have 2 games out at a time, and 14.95 for 1 game out at a time. However I do recommend it, and here is a tip for it. Get the free trial, and pay for a month or two, until you are satisfied. Then stop your membership. After that, it really shouldn't take to long to get a "reactivate your account" email at more than 50% off prices. However if you don't take advantage of the first email they send like I did, it took months to get another one of those emails for me. Gamefly.com Now for purchasing games, amazon.com is almost always a wonderful place to save just a couple of bucks all the way up to 10 and more! Plus, with newer releases, they almost ALWAYS have game credits to give you. Either 5 or 10 dollars usually to spend on your next purchase on amazon.com. Amazon.com Target stores is another place to look for clearance items, not in the mail aisles but on the back ends near the video games. You can find games from 25% to more than 50% off. One of the best places to get cheap new video games. I've been very impressed with gohastings.com lately as well, fantasic used/previously viewed items. Much better prices on most stuff compared to buying used at gamestop. Not that gamestop is bad, gamestop can have some very good prices on used games as well. Just don't get stuck without box & instructions or with a stupid sticker on it. Also if you go with gamestop and you purchase used games often from them, do purchases there membership. You get a decent magazine as well as 10% off all used items. It does add up and saves you a buck or two. gohastings.com gamestop.com I want to mention walmart real quick, unless you want to pay full price for a game, do not go there. They never have anything worth buying at a discounted price. Go there for food, not for gaming! Once again, this is for everyone to post the latest deals they've found, or any of your own tips and tricks to use in purchasing games at good prices.

Sorry it took me a few days, I wanted to make it a decent enough opening post and I didn't have time to do so right away.
Right now I just did my restart of gamefly, going heavy into the Wii games at the moment. Getting as many new releases as possible for review for a game site I help out at. Also borrowing a ton from a friend to, so I just want to focus on that at the moment. I was not able to get my hands on the 3DS after all which sucks, I'm still really looking forward to playing that. They have some nice deals on it as well at amazon. Buy two 3DS games get 10 dollars credit. Also buy the 3DS and get 25 dollars credit. But just for now it's all Wii time. What about you, you currently looking for anything?

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
The game I just bought recently for the Wii, Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. It's now on sale for 17.99 at amazon.com.
This is definitely a recommended Wii game to own, fantastic shooter with great elements. Some of the "sounds" or "voices" will get old, but this is truly a fun game.

I really want the F1 racing game for 360. I got a baseball game for $5 at target for my psp.
Check out Amazon Wharehouse deals. People have been getting the new nintendo for 190. All that is wrong is a small ding on the BOX. |

Portal 2
Fantastic Deal for Portal 2 Pre-Order
While still 54.99, 5 dollars off. When you pre-order it through amazon, they will also give you 20 dollars credit towards your next purchase. So basically 34.99!

Target has "Nintendo DSi XL Red Bundle with Mario Kart" for around $125. Very good deal if you can find one.
ETA: Do you have any suggestions on how to get a Xbox360 to a wireless network? The reviews on the wireless adapters from Xbox are terrible. Last edited by beachdreaming; 03-31-2011 at 12:07 PM. |

Ohhhh my, I wanted the XL really badly just because of the size. It would be far more enjoyable for me. I would almost do that just for now if I can't get the 3DS.
As for wireless connectors for the 360, i've heard horrible things about them. Apparently the new 360 consols with the wireless built in is way better. But for the older consol, you need to buy a wireless adapter to connect to the 360, and thats what i've heard bad things about.

Yeah that adapter is bad. Can't believe they make crap after crap with that thing. I heard you can hook up a general one that you can buy but not sure which one to get. I would just Ethernet cord it but the gateway is in the basement. Don't think mom would like the cord running all over the house. Lol

That's why you drill holes when they are not home and have the cable run into whatever room you need it to...but I didn't say that! Shhh!

Oh god. No way could I do that even if I wanted. My mom would flip and I would be homeless.
I think I should just take the dive and buy a router at walmart. Try it and if it doesn't work, just take it back.

Unless you made it really really unnoticeable!
 It doesn't hurt to try it out though, and right, you can always take it back if it doesn't work for ya!
