Back To Blogging Again

  I've realized that blogging is such a chore, which explains why I haven't posted a blog since the January. But, I am trying to get back into it and this time make some minor changes. My initial intentions of making this blog was to post up video game deals, but I have noticed that not much people care for that. So, in addition to posting video game deals, I will now be posting up freebies, giveaways, and cheap deals in general. Who doesn't like freebies? So to start today's blog deals, here are some video game deals:

• If you're an Xbox 360 fan or been waiting for a pretty good deal on it, Amazon currently has the Xbox 360 4GB (black) model with Kinect sensor and adventures game bundle for $299 w/ free prime shipping. And if you buy it, you will receive $50 amazon credit.
• Amazon also has Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time (PS3) and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3) for $15. Very fun games IMO. Modnation Racers (PS3) is selling for $20.
• GameStop is selling the DJ Hero 2 Turntable Bundle (PS3/360) for $29.99. Use promo code VSHIP for free shipping.

Amazon's Year End Video Game Sale

  First, I would just like to say "Merry Christmas!" and that 2010 is almost coming to an end. Amazon is currently having their year end video game sales. Some notable games include:


Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3 / Xbox) $20
3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3) $15
Naruto Shippuuden Ultimate Ninja Strom 2 (PS3) $26
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom (Xbox360) $17
Demon's Souls (with Soundtrack) (PS3) $17
Splatterhouse (PS3/Xbox360) $26
Bioshock 2 (Xbox360) $15
Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 Collector's Edition (PS3/Xbox) $40
Castlevania Lords of Shadow Limited Edition (PS3) $40

Some of these games have almost the same Amazon sellback value (i.e. Naruto sellback is $25.75), so once your done playing it or no longer want it, you can just sell it back to Amazon.

Also, Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3/Xbox360) is selling for only $40 today only. Although, I have heard many mixed reviews on this game, some saying it's nothing new and rather upsetting, while others believing it to be a worthy addition to the series. You be the judge.

EA Store 30% Off Coupon Code

   Well, it might actually be too late, but the EA Store website is having a sale of selected game titles and a 30% coupon code is available for use. With the code "EAPARTNERS2010 " you can try and see if there are any games worth getting. Earlier today, they had Madden 11 (PS3) for $30,  but applying the code made the final cost to only $21 shipped. The code was also applicable on certain PC games as well, such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (digital download) making it only $14. Someone had mentioned that stacking coupon codes worked as well. I tried the code they used "pnynj9bwq" but couldn't get it to work. Oh, don't forget cash-back!

Next Gen or Old School?

Hey again, looks like I'm back on the blog. So recently I've been seeing ads for the Playstation 3 Slim for relatively cheap prices. Walmart currently has the Playstation 3 Slim 250gb bundled with your choice of two games for $350, which isn't that bad of a deal. I already own a Playstation 2 and am quite content with it. The only downside to buying a PS3 is that the new slim models are not backwards compatible, which leaves out all my PS2 games and I love all my PS2 games. I mean the platform games alongside, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, DJ Hero, Eyetoy, Guncon, and so much more makes the PS2 for me the best gaming experience ever. But, the PS3 has so many great game titles such as COD: Modern Warfare 2, FF:XIII, Gran Turismo 5, and the upcoming Marvel vs Capcom 3. I would be more inclined to purchase the PS3 if the price range falls between $250-300, since I'm a cheapskate like that. Yeah, I guess I can wait a while longer.
