Video Game Deals

Every so often I check out the video game deals page at Amazon. The often have better deals than other sources. Right now there are some decent deals available but you might not know it from looking at their list of popular deals. For the last couple weeks it seems like every time I look there are 5 or 6 Disney Infinity toys for every 1 game on the list. Between that and all the third party peripherals they have made it a pain to scroll through their game deals. It would be nice if they would make separate lists for games and accessories so it wasn't so hard to see which games are on sale.

In the left-hand margin, click the system and then "Games." For example, here are the PS4 game deals.

That is much better than what I was seeing but it's still missing deals like Destiny for $29.99.

Edit: Their deal tracker is actually missing most of the their console and PC deals now that I dig a little.

This is why in the past, when I was buying a lot of games on Amazon, I would put all the games I was even remotely interested in in my wishlist and check the wishlist on a regular basis.
 
Activision is also having a sale on GoG. Of course, it's not all the same games but there is some overlap. One thing of note is that the GoG versions are not as heavily discounted, but it looks like for the older adventure games (AKA, the SIERRA games that Activision now owns like the Quest series) actually run better from GoG than they do on Steam. Many people have been complaining that the Steam versions don't run on their modern hardware and actually recommend people get the GoG version instead. So if you're really interested in the old Sierra adventure games, you may be better off spending a little more for the GoG version.

HAH.... I was complaining about the fact that Black Ops wasn't available new at a cheap price, so I got one used on Amazon for 10.74. So I guess if I had waited I could have gotten a "new" digital copy for 75 cents cheaper. I guess I'll just look at it that for 75 cents I got it a day earlier. I had a BLAST playing bot controlled Team DMs yesterday for like 2 hours. To be fair, yes, it is more fun to play with actual people, and it reminded me of the fun times I had playing online with friends and people from SatGuys, but it's still pretty cool to not be dependent on the human element (and if last night's roster of 5K players is any indication, there isn't much human element left.)

I'd suggest people click the IGN link because there's other stuff like older CoD games, Bioshock Infinite DLC, as well as Assassins Creed stuff.

I don't remember the prices but wasn't Black Ops part of the Activision sale on Steam over the weekend?

Green Man Gaming has The Witcher 3 available to pre-order (GOG key) for $38.99. With their current 23% off voucher on top of that it would have been $30. I was all set to pull the trigger because it won't be that price again for quite a while. Unfortunately their 23% off voucher cannot be stacked with this offer. Still, $38.99 is a very tempting pre-order offer for a huge RPG like that. I'm strongly considering it. The only thing holding me back is that I also have Arkham Knight pre-ordered and there is no way I'll be able to finish Witcher 3 before that comes out.

The PSN sales this week by contrast are pretty weak. I was hoping for a similar sale on the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass. Perhaps there'll be another Flash Sale this weekend, as that seems to be the trend: poor week-long sales = weekend Flash Sale.
 
Amazon product ASIN B00WL6J5CK
Purchase Wolfenstein: The Old Blood on Amazon and get $15 off the Wolfenstein: The New Order. With current prices that means PS4 users can get both games for $31.99, Xbox One users get both for $34.99, and unfortunately PC users get both for $44.99 since The New Order has a higher starting price on that platform.

I would pull the trigger right now if I could get that PS4 price on PC or if PS4 New Order copy they were selling on Amazon was a digital code. I'm just trying to avoid starting another collection of blue and green game cases this generation. The last thing I need is more clutter in my living room.
 
The Jackbox Party Pack is 50% off on Steam.

Definitely worth it at that price. I bought it at full price ($24.99) and have had a blast playing it when friends come over. I've actually played it more times at other peoples' houses than my own. Almost all my friends who played at my house ended up buying it for themselves.

You may want to reconsider buying from there. According to the developer, GMG's codes are coming from an "unknown source," meaning that they're not getting any money from any of the keys being sold. That's a scary and sad thought. GMG always came across as a legitimate reseller. I hope this is just some sort of misunderstanding.

Wow! From what I have always understood Green Man Gaming is a reputable storefront that deals directly with publishers just like Steam, Origin, uPlay, Amazon, and others. They don't appear to be a reseller marketplace like G2A and CDkeys.com.

I've purchased quite a few games from GMG in the past and never heard anything like this before. I hope this is all a misunderstanding and they make a statement soon because GMG often has better deals than other sources and I'd hate to have to buying from them.

I feel like this has to be a misunderstanding. CD Projekt, the company who makes The Witcher and the owner of GOG.com, is listed as one of the official retail partners on Green Man Gaming's website. I would really like to see a statement from GMG on this.
