From Ars Technica:

I return from me week long battle with what ever it is that knocked me my arse with news of impending sales!

Quote:

Best Buy has quite the deal on Xbox 360 games running at the moment: if you buy one game from a list you get the second one half-off. The surprise? The number of AAA games that qualify. Take a look at the list inside.

A partial list of games and prices is included after the jump, and I'm guessing you'll be able to find at least two games you've been meaning to pick up.

Fallout 3 $60
Resident Evil 5 $60
Madden NFL 10 $60

I saw this list over at Evil Avatar, and it seems like it originated at SlickDeals, where there is evidence that next week a very similar deal will go live for the PlayStation 3, so Sony fans need only sit tight.
See anything you'd like to pick up?

If anyone finds a copy of this add, please link!

Nice

Im def interested in this with COD MW2 being on the list.

Just what I need, more distractions

EXreaction · August 31st, 2009, 02:22 PM

Don't worry, MW2 doesn't come out until November.

Okay so i went through basically all 230 listings ... this appears to be every game they have in their inventory. I saw a few items that were clearance or outlet that were not included but i think they are doing a massive inventory reduction with this.

I found a bunch of games they have on pre-order that i wouldnt mind getting but nothing i know for sure is good.

The sale appears to be all week so i am going to do a bit of thinking about what i want to get.

Excludes pre-orders.

Figures ... now im going to have to find something for reals to buy.

EXreaction · August 31st, 2009, 05:21 PM

I don't see that anywhere. I still see pre-orders in the list and I got in my order of GH5 and H3 ODST with 50% off of one.
