I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that I haven't wanted anything in the last 2 weeks of sales. The disappointed part was lessened by getting in on the NewEgg 10 buck HOTD OEC w/FS deal yesterday.

I'm pretty sure Cheapy said they'll go through the weekend.

EDIT: Altho Halo is now at $24.99 with free shipping. Weird.
 
Halo CE Back in stock..... but at $25 still cheaper then amazon, remember it does come with the code for the map pack

Update: My talk with Gamefly support
Chad O: Hi, my name is Chad O. How may I help you?
Me: I was looking to buy the halo anniversary game for the xbox 360 and saw it was priced at $18 used yesterday but it sold out. This morning I came back to see if it was back in stock and it went up to $25. Why is this?
Chad O: The prices of games change constantly based on the availability of games, sales, and other factors.

Looks like the good old supply and demand at work...

Thanks for posting that, it's just weird cuz I've never seen Gamefly do this before. Usually they would just OOS it until the sale was over, then re-stock it at the higher price.

Not that it matters to me, I was able to grab one yesterday :)

The nightly deal are usually only valid until they go oos the first time then they come back at a slightly higher price but it varies, sometimes they come back at the same price.

I have never actually seen them come back at a slightly higher price before, besides Halo now. Do you by chance know any other games that this happened to in the past?

I dont know why you guys are complaining. Apparently it was a nightly deal and not a weekend deal. All the prices went up.. Not just Halo!
 
[quote name='GUNNM']All this halo talk made me rent Halo CE and it was instock and got sent today. So OOS is BS[/QUOTE]

You are clearly rather ignorant of how their business works. But you did make me laugh!

Your welcome!

Oh yeah I forgot about halo wars I think this is also pre-Halo 1 but have never played it dunno how story heavy it is

Actually it also happened to Captain America: Super Soldier at almost the exact same time. I bought both Captain America and Halo yesterday and both went out of stock and came back in stock a few hours later with a price increase ($4 & $8 respectively)

Price and demand go hand in hand, kind of sucks but I do understand.
 
I'm definitely keeping an eye out for Halo. Been wanting that pricepoint for a while now. Hopefully they lower it again later tonight! :)

Actually, I've seen it happen MANY times, usually on games like this one, where I've been waiting for a drop, but for some goddamn reason I didn't check CAG that day and missed it.

Crap.

Hmmm...I'm usually right on top of these sales (I'm on CAG a lot) so maybe that's why I never notice that it happens, because I pick up the game(s) I want then just ignore the thread.
 
[quote name='DaShaka']No sales today?[/QUOTE]

Never any sales on Friday night. If there are any sales next week, they will resume Monday night, from what I understand.
 
i requested shipping labels to return my 2 games 2 days ago and gamefly sent them the next day.just checked my bank acct and gamefly already refunded me for both games. bravo, gamefly, bravo.
 
[quote name='Turbojugend']Just to confirm, The Gunstringer arrived today with Fruit Ninja Kinect code intact.[/QUOTE]


Awesoooome. I'm still waiting on mine, but I'm psyched that it came with the code. Makes the deal worth it!
 
[quote name='JaylisJayP']Halo is awesome, and the 3D is superb.[/QUOTE]

Shit, I didn't realize it was in 3D. I would have grabbed it just for that.
 
[quote name='MiTYH']Awesoooome. I'm still waiting on mine, but I'm psyched that it came with the code. Makes the deal worth it![/QUOTE]

I already have fruit ninja if anyone wants to trade for the code message me. It's pretty fun.

I didn't know Halo was 3d either!

Make sure you get The Wavy Tube Man Chronicles as well. It's free DLC but is basically an entirely separate game that emulates 80's arcade laserdisc shooters like Mad Dog McCree. The set designs and costumes are crappy and the acting even crappier, which of course means it is 100% awesome.
 
They still haven't shipped my SOCOM 4. I called them and they said they're having trouble locating a case and manual for it or something like that. Basically a supply issue :/
 
Don't worry guys, last week's deals were not your Final Fantasy. So, LEGO of that noose and get ready to Dance!

[quote name='chopper']Too early for a deal on XIII-2? It only came out January 31. Have they had deals on other games this fast?[/QUOTE]

Seems fast for xiii-2. I bet it's just xiii
 
If that's LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7, I may be in, depending on price. Pretty much any ~$10 LEGO game and I'm in.
