Buy one PS3 game at BestBuy.com, get a second for 50% off
Here's our big, greedy idea: Buy one of the 140 PlayStation 3 titles being offered in the current BestBuy.com deal for a lucky friend's future Christmas present, and get one for ourselves in the process for half the price! Dealzon spotted the sale we're selfishly taking advantage of over the weekend, which also offers free shipping until the end of Labor Day (that's tonight, folks!).
Thankfully, the deal offers more than just clearance titles -- last week's Guitar Hero 5 and system-selling Metal Gear Solid 4 are among a the handful of good stuff on the list (if you buy GH5, you could technically get a free copy of Guitar Hero: Van Halen as well, upping the value even more). According to the folks at Dealzon, the offer ends on Saturday, September 12, so you may want to get while the gettin's good.

Wow, too bad I don't have money.
iluvmyzune @ Sep 7th 2009 11:02PM
sweet deal. sum good games to pick from. They had one for xbox a week ago. I bought modern warefare2 and got ODST half off.
SimbaDogg @ Sep 7th 2009 11:53PM
gaaaaaaaaaaaaah'd damnit. why couldn't they have bioshock or uncharted. or at least have the little bit planet game of the year edition. damnit damnit damnit
WiredKnight @ Sep 7th 2009 10:21PM
Are you kidding? I saw this on CAG a few days ago.
iPunch @ Sep 7th 2009 10:24PM
Then why didn't you come to Joystiq and blog abou... Oh, wait.
iPunch @ Sep 7th 2009 10:21PM
..... Could it be?!?! :O
Oh yeah, and downvote
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 7th 2009 10:23PM
Dammit, these deals always pop up when I have no money. I'd like to finally get Valkyria Chronicles and maybe Uncharted 1 since I only rented it.

You're not fooling anyone.
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 7th 2009 10:54PM
See, exactly what I'm talking about. Stalking me and harrassing me in every article. What the hell do you even mean by that?
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 7th 2009 10:55PM
Turn your key, sir.
Special Agent Steve @ Sep 7th 2009 10:57PM
Yeah, Spyder, this is all just a conspiracy theory. Tmac loves to just trick you guys, it's amazing you fall for it.
Get a life.
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 7th 2009 11:02PM
Yeah dude I don't know what your deal is but you need to relax. I dunno if you think I hate PS3 or Uncharted or whatever, but I don't (I quite like the two actually).
darkwater124 @ Sep 7th 2009 11:08PM
Don't you have something productive that you could be doing right now, like drilling nails to your face?
Slaziman @ Sep 7th 2009 11:34PM
What the fuck is your problem Spydertaco? Leave the guy alone if he's not doing anything wrong for fuck's sake, you pathetic stalker.

Get a room, you six.
Longhorn Slim @ Sep 7th 2009 10:23PM
Should I get Socom and RE5?
ToadStoolPorridge @ Sep 7th 2009 10:38PM
Ehhh, I was considering RE5 along with 3 other games (to get 2 combos) but I'm just holding my money until the solid releases this winter. If you're dying to play either of those, you might as well, but if it were me, I'd save the cash for games like Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted 2. My pretty large backlog also didn't help my decision to not buy any games in this deal either :(
Hitman @ Sep 7th 2009 10:24PM
A bit late joystiq lol
ducttapeBigSexy @ Sep 7th 2009 10:32PM
Yeah, this ad went out yesterday - and Cheap Ass Gamer had this on their site last week already :P
Hitman @ Sep 7th 2009 10:39PM
CAG FTW! lol
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 7th 2009 10:25PM
@iPunch
Nah it's not him. Checking his comment history he says "not near my ps3 right now". Sprinkles would have spontaneously combusted if he ever said that.
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 7th 2009 10:25PM
Need money!!!
RANDOM G [King of the Scribblenauts][Sweatshop Retiree] @ Sep 7th 2009 10:26PM
No...no...it...it can't be...
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 7th 2009 10:27PM
This is what happens when Sprinkles is allowed to mate.
Longhorn Slim @ Sep 7th 2009 10:28PM
Calm down people
this is the REAL sprinkles

NO!
I AM SPRINKLES!!!!!
WINterfang @ Sep 7th 2009 10:35PM
Gee Golly that sounds familiar.
Cj @ Sep 7th 2009 10:35PM
I was gonna jump at Uncharted and something else but no shipping for Uncharted and no other game I want.
iPunch @ Sep 7th 2009 10:35PM
Hmm.

Jawmuncher @ Sep 7th 2009 10:36PM
While this is a nice deal, the selection is much more disappointing than what was given to 360 buyers.
Example.
During the 360 deal you could get Brutal Legend and Modern Warfare 2 with the deal.
But when it comes to PS3 neither titles are available for the deal. Bug Disappoint it after getting a good deal on Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 5 for 360.
Was really hoping to get Brutal Legend and Uncharted 2 on PS3 for a good deal as well. Looks like i'l just keep my pre-orders at gamestop and pay them off fully.
Disappointing that PS3 owners get less of a selection though.
ToadStoolPorridge @ Sep 7th 2009 10:41PM
I think that may have been a mistake by Best Buy somehow. About half way through the 360 deal they got rid of pre-orders. I think they saw how they were getting flooded with pre-orders (especially for MW2, I'm guessing) and realized they were losing too much potential money. I would've jumped all over this deal as well if I could have gotten MW2, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted 2, and some other game pre-ordered. Getting new releases at a discounted price is rather nice.
Jawmuncher @ Sep 7th 2009 10:43PM
Did not now they canceled pre-orders as part of the deal on the 360 side as part of the deal.
That would explain a lot and why their aren't as many games compared to that sale.
Thanks for that info.
ToadStoolPorridge @ Sep 7th 2009 10:47PM
Yea, it's a shame they're not even having a one day promotion where pre-orders are allowed to be combined with this offer. Best Buy would have gotten some of my money that way, but now there's no way I'm buying a new release full priced from them when I have local game stores I could support that have new releases about $3 cheaper than everywhere else. It's only $3, but still...It's $3 :)
The Baron @ Sep 8th 2009 8:46AM
Beatles RB is in this one for pre-order though (although admittedly that one is fairly close).
Jinsenken @ Sep 7th 2009 10:43PM
Guess I'll get Killzone 2 and MGS4 for $75 since I never picked up the bundle before.
I wish they had DMC4 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma tho.
No Kill Tayler @ Sep 7th 2009 10:44PM
Bad thing is, no pre-orders so its a no-go.
WINterfang @ Sep 7th 2009 10:48PM
*SLAPS*
That's not a real meme.
That's just the Photoshop meme reworded.
CaramelZappa @ Sep 7th 2009 10:51PM
Since I just ordered my PS3 and haven't played Uncharted or Resistance I was going to do that, but they won't ship Uncharted and it says unavailable for all my local Best Buys. I'm thinking maybe sonic unleashed? I loved the demo on the xblm but I'm afraid of the werehog segments.
Suggestions? I'm trying to keep it to $30 games and under since I just blew most of my cash on the ps3 itself.
commen-cents @ Sep 7th 2009 10:58PM
metal gear and rachet and clank maybe? it depends if you want exclusives, theres plenty of multi games that are good buys at $30 bucks too... uncharted was great but ive never played resistence
No Kill Tayler @ Sep 7th 2009 11:10PM
Go with Metal gear and littlebigplanet.
CaramelZappa @ Sep 7th 2009 11:18PM
I actually don't really like littlebigplanet. After playing the kiosk demo I felt that it was really charming but not that fantastic of a platformer.
As for metal gear, it looks like a fantastic game, but I've never played any Metal Gear games. Seeing as though the creator of the series apparently doesn't understand the timeline completely, (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/21/confused-about-metal-gear-solids-timeline-so-is-hideo-kojima/) I'm not really sure about jumping in at number 4. I get the feeling I'll be a little... lost.
RIght now though, it kind of seems like the best choice anyways. Might go with MGS4 and Resistance.
commen-cents @ Sep 7th 2009 11:21PM
i never played any of the others metal gears either... its not too bad trying to figure stuff out, then if you have questions you can download the metal gear database off psn
B3astofthe3ast @ Sep 7th 2009 11:27PM
You can download the Metal Gear thing on the PSN to get caught up on story for free if you wish.
toxicinzanity @ Sep 8th 2009 7:36AM
grab resistance.... the ppl at my bestbuy are idiots so im gonna see if i can talk them into giving me a preorder
ihatereading @ Sep 7th 2009 11:59PM
I'd go with Killzone 2 over Resistance. Much better game if your looking for an FPS.
CaramelZappa @ Sep 8th 2009 12:05AM
I'm eventually going to get killzone 2, but right now it's out of my budget.
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Sep 8th 2009 1:57AM
I'd still say go with LBP. LittleBigplanet isn't the type of game you can judge by a demo, you need to try all the user made levels to judge it. Just today I played a fantastic pinball level, there was virtually no platforming in it, just pinball, R1 for the flippers and X to launch the ball. Some of the levels are ingenious (though there is an equal amount that suck) at least rent it.
commen-cents @ Sep 7th 2009 10:52PM
This is in store too... I hope everyone realizes that. I picked up Ghostbusters and Wolfenstien yesterday, theres plenty of selection too. im not sure why people are complaining about a BOGO sale. I might go back and pick up infamous and Prototype or madden and ncaa, or guitar hero 5 and fallout 3... i could blow all kinds of money on games i havent bought yet. anything in the ps3 aisle is up for grabs people... quit complaining.
Jawmuncher @ Sep 8th 2009 12:11AM
Well for me it's because I already own the games I wanted that are on this list.
Bough them day 1 or pretty close to it.
So I was hoping for some pre-orders so I could save some money, but looks like Best Buy cleaned up their sale.
