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

by JC Fletcher { Apr 13th 2009 at 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!]

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

AsherR @ Apr 13th 2009 9:59AM

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

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

Erwos @ Apr 13th 2009 10:03AM

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

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 13th 2009 10:05AM

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

acefondu @ Apr 13th 2009 10:55AM

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*

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 13th 2009 11:04AM

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

Courtney @ Apr 13th 2009 11:20AM

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

Levi @ Apr 13th 2009 11:27AM

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

ChooChooCharlie @ Apr 13th 2009 11:40AM

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

emotaku @ Apr 13th 2009 9:52AM

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

BALIstik916 @ Apr 13th 2009 9:53AM

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

acefondu @ Apr 13th 2009 10:56AM

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

Miguel @ Apr 13th 2009 12:55PM

you and me both :D

Martin @ Apr 13th 2009 3:39PM

tmacairjordan87 @ Apr 13th 2009 9:58AM

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

Rob @ Apr 13th 2009 10:03AM

Is it any good?

tmacairjordan87 @ Apr 13th 2009 10:05AM

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

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 13th 2009 10:07AM

8am is early to you???

good grief....

tmacairjordan87 @ Apr 13th 2009 10:09AM

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

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 13th 2009 10:27AM

oooh gotcha....

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

SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt) @ Apr 13th 2009 11:10AM

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.

Phantom @ Apr 13th 2009 10:01AM

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

Brythefry @ Apr 13th 2009 1:58PM

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

Dante G @ Apr 13th 2009 10:27AM

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

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

butaneko @ Apr 13th 2009 10:27AM

I'll bite on Shaun White for 18 bucks.

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

Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Apr 13th 2009 11:06AM

$18??

I thought it was $29

butaneko @ Apr 13th 2009 11:08AM

$17.98 on the 360 baby!

forestofdeath @ Apr 13th 2009 10:56AM

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

how is this a mystery? :/

Levi @ Apr 13th 2009 11:30AM

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.

kbeehaze @ Apr 13th 2009 11:09AM

sounds nice

Count Noobula @ Apr 13th 2009 11:31AM

Here's a new deal of the day:

Get my 360 back from Microsoft (E74?)

Patrick @ Apr 13th 2009 11:41AM

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.

David @ Apr 13th 2009 11:44AM

# 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..

Martin @ Apr 13th 2009 3:41PM

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

brandonl @ Apr 13th 2009 11:53AM

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

Conor @ Apr 13th 2009 12:16PM

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)

xeno378 @ Apr 13th 2009 12:57PM

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.

eggman06 @ Apr 13th 2009 1:01PM

10:00 is rock band 2 >.>

diallo @ Apr 13th 2009 2:52PM

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

ChiTownRuler23 @ Apr 13th 2009 2:54PM

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

Yingerman @ Apr 13th 2009 4:28PM

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

Kenny @ Apr 13th 2009 8:17PM

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

TakeCTRL @ Apr 14th 2009 8:01PM

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)
