Best Buy sale discounts Bayonetta, DJ Hero and Xbox 360 bundles

by David Hinkle on Aug 16th 2010 4:40PM

Frugal shoppers should take note of a massive Best Buy sale going on right now. It would seem everything must go, as Best Buy is not only discounting Platinum Games' excellent Bayonetta down to $20 on both the PS3 and Xbox 360, but also slashing prices across the board on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and DS games.

If hardware is more you thing, Best Buy has the Final Fantasy XIII and Splinter Cell: Conviction Xbox 360 bundles for $299.99 a piece, with a $50 gift card. Our strong-wristed readers will likely be interested in the DJ Hero bundle, which comes with one turntable controller -- it's only $40 right now.

Wait, what's that sound? It's as if millions of piggy banks cried out in terror, only to be silenced. I fear something -- oh, right.

damn it I keep putting off getting a 360 and these deals are so tempting

Not interested in any of those. My piggy bank is safe.

@mywhitenoise
Same. Joystiq made it sounds like there were quite a few games on sale.
There's only like 9 for each console and not that good of games either.

@The Aquacharger Bayonetta is a ridiculously good game :P

@jynxycat

I played the demo, didn't like it.
MY friends bought it. Tried it out, still didn't like it.

I don't like those types of games, too much flashy-ness bores me.

40 bucks for DJ Hero is a pretty good deal, I'd say. Not that I'd buy it, but it's a good deal nevertheless for those that are interested.

Hmm Not ineterested in anything. Except Bayonetta. Wich I already have, and love. If anyone is still on the fence about Bayonetta, now is the time to buy!

@motopsycho
Since it only has single player, I'm waiting for the $10-$20 range

@Themoreyouknow
And since there's no replay value, I'm gonna wait til its $10

@Themoreyouknow Actually there is. Well depending on the player. But theres TONS of stuff to unluck, a hidden optional boss. Infinite climax mode. Costumes, weapons, etc etc etc. I got it for 40. But I wouldn't minde paying $60 for such a high quality game. IMO.

@Themoreyouknow
It has multiple difficulty levels, what more do you expect from a hack-n-slash action game as far as replay value is concerned?

@Themoreyouknow

I'll sell you my copy of Bayonetta for 10$

course its used...
and my dog got a hold of it...
and I dropped it in vodka...
and a bonfire...
then urinated the fire out...
as well as burying it in fecal matter...

but hey, only way you'd find the game around right now for 10!

Their site is being updated. BAH!

Oh, snap. I'm definitely getting Bayonetta at that price point, even if I only have a PS3. I beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 a while ago, so I could use a new hack-n-slash actioner.

Ought to get a Wii Classic Controller Pro, too...

Amazon has the Final Fantasy bundle listed at $250 for interested shoppers.

Really glad Bayonetta went on sale. I've been waiting to pick this one up, and 20 bucks is definitely the right price.

@Sless $60 was a great price :P One of the better twitch hack n' slash games to come out in a long time.

'Our strong wristed readers'

Surely that's precisely 100% of Joystiq readers? ;)

Finally! Just picked up a copy of Bayonetta on my "lunch break."

@Mike Sylvester

I did as well, I was waiting for it to hit $30, but I guess I'll take it at $20.

shouldn't strong wristed be in the same sentence as Bayonetta and not dj hero??

@jwb3913

ba dum psh

Bayonetta was one of the worst games I have ever played. Terrible.

@GMB Brian
Why is that?

@motopsycho probably because of difficulty

@GMB Brian Prob cause it wasn't Call of Duty.
Kids these days.

DJ Hero for $40 is an AMAZING deal.

Actually you can get an extra turntable controller with DJ hero for free. So that's two controllers for the price of one game. Proof: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat214200050014&type=category

I picked up DJ Hero last week at K-Mart (it was going for the same price as here) and it's a lot of fun, I'd happily recommend it to anyone.

@Asok

Sounds great but it looks like they have closed that little bonus. Still, $60 for two turn tables is not bad.

I ordered Bayonetta and its on its way right now. Can't wait to play it and so glad I waited.
