It's a Gold Box full of cheap games [update]

by JC Fletcher on Apr 13th 2009 9:43AM

Once again, Amazon has devoted a day of Gold Box deals to video games. This time, the offers aren't limited to one platform, so everybody has an opportunity to forget about this and accidentally miss out on something they wanted. At least, that's what happens to us.

As usual, Amazon has clues up for the unrevealed deals. Can you solve the puzzle of what you'll be able to buy in a few hours?

8:00 AM: Warriors Orochi 2 for Xbox 360 ($25.98)
10:00 AM: Rock Band 2 for Wii ($29.98)
11:00 AM: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for DS ($19.98)
1:00 PM: Buzz! Master Quiz for PSP ($9.98)
3:00 PM: Fallout 3 for PS3 ($39.98).
5:00 PM: Killzone 2 for PS3 ($44.98).
6:00 PM: Rock Band Special Edition for PS2 ($59.98).

In addition, the Deal of the Day is Shaun White Snowboarding on basically every console. You can get an extra ten bucks off the Wii version if you buy it along with Wii Fit -- useful if you happen to be the guy who doesn't own Wii Fit.

[Thanks, greatslack!]

gotta love the PlayStation love...

# 10:00 AM: Even more songs for your Wii.(Rock Band Track Pack)??
# 11:00 AM: Axe > Lance > Sword for Nintendo DS. (????)
# 1:00 PM: Take triviality on the road with your PSP. (Buzz!)??
# 3:00 PM: Get your PlayStation 3 out of Vault 101. (Fallout 3)???
# 5:00 PM: Get into the zone with your PlayStation 3.(???)
# 6:00 PM: Go on tour with your PlayStation 2. (Guitar Hero: World Tour)??

5:00PM should be Killzone 2, but who knows how great of a deal it's going to be.

11:00 AM should be Fire Emblem, as someone mentioned below.

And I agree that 5:00 PM will probably be KZ2

11AM is Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon for the DS.

yea Fire Emblem makes sense and I cant believe I didnt get Killzone 2 out of that....lol

Actually Amazon forums thinks it's a Sports game of some kind, the 'zone' one that is. Though I hope it's Killzone.

And I'm ticked about Fire Emblem, I JUST BOUGHT IT YESTERDAY! *hangs self*

yea "In the Zone" was a phrase that was used by a sports game cant remember which one

Wasn't "In the Zone" one of the commercial tag lines for AutoZone? Maybe it's a racing game :P

Wasn't EA Sports' thingy "It's in the zone"?

No, EA Sports phrase is "It's in the game."

5pm, let's hope it's killzone 2.

Dammit, I knew I shoulda waited on getting Fire Emblem for DS..

lol, me too! I just commented earlier on how I literally bought it just yesterday. Ugh, what horrid timing I have.

you and me both :D

1. Get Deal of Day
2. Return received game (still sealed) to original location with original receipt
3. Deal Get

Gotta love waking up at 8 for warriors orochi 2....

Is it any good?

I was being sarcastic. I woke up early to catch the start of this and it turned out to be a turd like WO2. Now I'm out 2 extra hours of sleep

8am is early to you???

good grief....

Yeah I have an overnight job and I get home around 4-4:30, so 8 is pretty early.

oooh gotcha....

I worked 3rd for 8 years....hardly ever got home before 8 tho so I was up anyways....lol

i never know these things are happening except in a couple cases were i got some great deals on Super Mario Galaxy, Uncharted, and FF7 Crisis Core. i wish Joystiq would have posted yesterday about this (assuming they knew about it of course). i read this site about once every hour or two (or three), so i would see it if they posted it.

either way, doesn't look like i missed much since i already have all the games i wanted from this list.

Are these deals also available in Canada?
10am sounds like Wii points, and 11pm sounds like a JRPG.

Usually not. Amazon.ca have their own "Gold Box" days but they don't necessarily happen at the same time as Amazon.com

10:00 AM: Even more songs for your Wii.

This one sounds like it could be a rock band SD card :-/

I'll bite on Shaun White for 18 bucks.

Which makes 4 games purchases in the last week... damnit!

$18??

I thought it was $29

$17.98 on the 360 baby!

# 3:00 PM: Get your PlayStation 3 out of Vault 101.

how is this a mystery? :/

Pfft. I have no idea what that is. I've been playing so much Fallout 3 lately I can't even think when it comes to these riddles.

sounds nice

Here's a new deal of the day:

Get my 360 back from Microsoft (E74?)

Shaun White's a pretty fun game guys, worth checking out. I got it cheap from play.com at Christmas, and it's a lot of fun.

# 10:00 AM: Even more songs for your Wii.(Rock Band Track Pack)
# 11:00 AM: Axe > Lance > Sword for Nintendo DS. (Zelda)
# 1:00 PM: Take triviality on the road with your PSP. (Trivial Pursuit)
# 3:00 PM: Get your PlayStation 3 out of Vault 101. (Fallout 3)
# 5:00 PM: Get into the zone with your PlayStation 3.(Killzone 2)
# 6:00 PM: Go on tour with your PlayStation 2. (Guitar Hero: World Tour)

Is my guess..

I don't remember the last Axe that Link used. But I want a game that has it, now.

I just ordered Shawn White for the 360, along with a 120gb HDD since they are $125 right now.

My guess...

# 10:00 AM: Even more songs for your Wii.(WiiMusic)
# 11:00 AM: Axe > Lance > Sword for Nintendo DS.(Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon)
# 1:00 PM: Take triviality on the road with your PSP. (Trivial Pursuit)
# 3:00 PM: Get your PlayStation 3 out of Vault 101. (Fallout 3)
# 5:00 PM: Get into the zone with your PlayStation 3.(Killzone 2)
# 6:00 PM: Go on tour with your PlayStation 2.(Guitar Hero: World Tour)

I think it's:

1. Rock Band Track Pack
2. Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword
3. Buzz: Master Quiz
4. Fallout 3
5. Killzone 2
6. Guitar Hero: World Tour

But I'm probably wrong.

10:00 is rock band 2 >.>

I hope it's a decent price drop on Killzone 2. I'd kinda like to check that one out.

hmm if killzone2 is at 5:00 then i MUST buy it.

I'm starting to regret telling Joystiq about these deals. Now everyone knows!

Wow killzone 2 got claimed 100% in like 5 mins. I was to slow. Getting it anyways for 52.99 no biggie.

how does 360 get warriors orachi 2 and ps3 not only gets fallout 3 but killzone 2.

i want fallout 3 on 360 for the dlc and wasn't too impressed with kz2 (plus i like 360 controller better for fps. and before you call me a fanboy, i like my fighters on ps3)

Yea it went really fast. Luckily I remember right when Seinfeld went off and copped it for $44.98! Not a bad deal :)
