Since I told BG I'd keep posting these (even if he's not posting)

 

$199 Wii U

 

Potentially tax free too, with free shipping. 

[Xteven Xavier]

Mmmmn, no thanks.

[SpazCat]

I don't mind the idea of a Wii U or even Skylanders. I just really hate eBay. I purchased one item off that website and I was unaware of people get if you don't rate them. I realize it was my own damn fault for not realizing it sooner/ reading the rules, but there was no reason for that prick to spam handle my email with his hateful comments, "Why didn't you rate me?" "Did I not ship it on time?" "What did I do to make you mad?!" Nothing, nothing upset me. I got it just fine, thank you. If you had politely asked me to rate you I would have. Thanks to your little explosion of ego I will be rating you poorly for being a sucky human being. Good day Sir.

 

I prefer purchasing things from retailers. Steam has now become my go-to for a lot of games. Either that or Amazon. Amazon doesn't hate me.

 

Keeping on topi I know all of you will jump to this deal.

[Monkeydog]

The thing with ebay is you just need to pick and choose. A lot of retailers (and usually the ones who do this Wii U deals) use ebay. Like Toys R Us, NewEgg, Tigerdirect, Buy... I've never had a problem with eBay, honestly. Except for this junk SD Card I bought once which I knew was junk while I was buying it.

 If only I had a 3DS, I could pretend how super savvy and amazing i am whilst being trapped in a virtual females body in a virtual game.

 

No great deals as of late, but then again I probably don't search the web as much as others.. and i've never used amazon either lol

Golden Week Sale on PSN

 

Pretty great deals if you have PS+.

 

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles for $10

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for $12/9

DBZ: Battle of Z for $15/10

Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger for $3.50

 

I'll probably pick up Chrono Cross and Armored Core (already own CT, P4G, and ToS Collection otherwise I'd be all over them). Trying to convince myself to stay away from the Atelier games, DMC collection, MGS collection, Hot Shots, Muramasa, and Time and Eternity. Some of them are a little easier due to them being on the Vita and me not having a huge memory card. 

 

EDIT:

 

Great sale outside of the Golden Week stuff. 

 

Vagrant Story is only $3. Persona 4 Arena is cheap. Very likely that I'm going to have to pick up Tactics Ogre at that price.

Mario Kart 8 Wii U Bundle for $330 (comes with game + Wiimote + Wheel)

 

It's pretty okay. Not enough to make me regret getting my version. Buuut every copy of Mario Kart 8 comes with a free digital game on Club Nintendo if you register it before the end of July. Best Buy is having a deal if you preorder it you get a $10 gift card for gas. With my membership that'd make Mario Kart 8 $38 + tax (and I should have $10 to knock off it before the end of May with rewards + Shopkick). So $28 for Mario Kart 8 + Pikmin 3 is way too tempting. 

[lazlo falconi]

Thinking about getting it. It's just so sad that the only games I ever played on my Wii were Mario Kart and Smash Bros, and Wii U looks the same.

[Monkeydog]

I only ever had a Wii early on, but I played a lot of games on it. Okami, FFCC: My Life as A King, and No More Heroes comes to mind. I hacked my Wii U just so I could play Xenoblade/The Last Story.

14 Days of PS+ if you've never used it before

 

Pretty cool. You might be able to sign up even if you don't have any Playstation thing. Just put the PS+ games in your cart and they'll be tied to your account forever (assuming you have PS+). So if you feel like you might get PS+ some day, you can use this now to download all of the games up currently (and for the next two weeks) and once you restart PS+ you'll be able to play the games again. Or you can use it and take advantage of that awesome Golden Week Sale they're having (and Flash Sale right now, but don't think that's restricted to PS+)

[Monkeydog]

Two things.

 

PSN sale

 

Disgaea, Persona 3 FES, Odin Sphere, and Dragon's Crown are all pretty good prices.

 

Humble Bundle Spring Sale

 

I guess there's flash sales here? So it would be worth checking every so often. 

 

That Sonic Bundle is pretty interesting for only $7.50.

HUMBLE DAILY BUNDLE. For the next 2 weeks.

 

14 days, 14 bundles.

 

Keep coming back at 2 PM EST for the new bundles.

 

I picked up the 1 dollar tier for today's bundle (Saints Row 2/3, Risen 2, Sacred 2) and I doubt I'll do so again this sale... but still.

[Monkeydog]

Didn't they already do this bundle not too long ago?

[legacyme3]

They may have? I don't know, it may have been part of the awesome THQ bundle a long time back.

 

But it's a bundle a day, so even if this one doesn't grab you, it's worth checking every day for the next two weeks.

[Monkeydog]

Yep. Last July/August.

 

It was a better deal then too, it came with all those games except only Metro/Sacred Citadel/Risen were beat the average.

 

I think the only difference here is Riptide is GOTY and Saints Row has all of the DLC. But I'm not even sure about that.

 

I'm not too excited about this, if the first thing they go off of is a not as good rebundle I don't have high hopes for the rest. 

[legacyme3]

It's still great for anyone who missed it (I didn't get it because I didn't have any money when the THQ bundle rolled out)

[Monkeydog]

Yeah (although those were two separate bundles).

 

I just won't have anything to look forward to if it continues down this path. The Humble Bundles in general haven't looked very appealing to me in a while either, sadly.

 

I do hope this culminates in an awesome Humble Indie Bundle 12 though. 

[legacyme3]

I fully expect Humble 12 to come after these 2 weeks of bundles ends.

 

I'm really hoping that there are at least 2 or 3 decent bundles over the next two weeks, because I can justify 2 or 3 small purchases right now.

[Monkeydog]

So far all of these bundles have been terrible as compared to other Humble Bundles. Today's is extra terrible. 

 

Starcraft 2 + Expansion for $39

 

Pretty good deal, I would think.

[legacyme3]

I would have picked up yesterday's bundle, but really can't justify it right now.

 

Today's does however, suck. It's the worst in the sale so far. The only thing of value is the game which unlocks at 15 dollars.

 

No thank you, I'll just wait for a Steam Sale to pick it up.

 

Really think the best is yet to come though.
