Random Amazon game deals

I’ve stumbled upon some price drops on Amazon for some games that don’t seem to be connected to anything. They could be leftover stock from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales but it really doesn’t matter. Lower prices on games means more money in our wallets for more games.

This isn’t a particularly big list but it’s useful to have when trying to figure out what to buy that special someone (or yourself) for the upcoming holidays. Most of the games on this list are for the PS3 or Xbox 360 as no Wii deals really stood out all that much. I have no idea how long these prices will stay as they are so start clicking and spreading the word…

Nintendo offering two limited edition DS bundles for Black Friday 2008

I bet many of you have this vision of Nintendo sitting back eating some mystical golden cash turkey and spending Black Friday sleeping of massive amounts of tryptophan (the stuff that makes you sleepy after eating turkey) on mattresses stuffed with cash, dreaming about the holiday shopper circus frenzy in retailers across the country. Well, you’re probably right especially since Nintendo is offering up two new limited edition DS bundles for which shoppers will have to compete for in some form of death ring.

The first of the bundles will be offering up a fully crimson red painted DS with a Mario M logo stomped on the system’s top cover. It will also come bundled with a copy of New Super Mario Bros., a game which I watched go out of stock more than any other DS game…
