Today's Gold Box deal of the day on Amazon is BioShock Infinite. Downloadable PC versions of the game are $25 off ($35), whereas boxed copies of the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are $20 off ($40) for today only.

Meanwhile, $35 Steam codes through Groupon for the game appear to still be available until the end of the day. What we're trying to say is, today might be a good day to buy a new game.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]

Amazon lines up another gaming Gold Box today; Tomb Raider $42

Sinan Kubba — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:30:00 EST

Amazon would like to relieve your wallets of any heaviness with another one of its all-day video game Gold Box events. A number of lightning deals will run throughout the day, and you can check out the line-up here. In terms of what's confirmed or obvious thanks to Amazon's clues, Black Ops 2 is going for $35 on Xbox 360 and PS3 at 11AM PT/2PM ET, while Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Dance Central 3 are likely contenders for later time-sensitive discounts.

The all-day deal might be the one to grab your fancy, though. Crystal Dynamics' high-octane Tomb Raider reboot is down to $41.99 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and $34.99 on PC. We reckon that's decent, but if you'd prefer a chunkier version then there's still time (as of writing) to get in on the game's Collector's Edition lightning deal, which ends at 9AM ET. The CE includes a 8-inch tall Play Arts Kai figurine of Lara Croft, steel tin packaging, a 15 by 19 inch double-sided island map and poster, a lithographic print, CD soundtrack, three iron-on badges, and the Weapons Pack DLC, all for $76 instead of $100 in Amazon's deal.

Dead Space 3 for $40, more deals in today's Amazon gaming Gold Box

Sinan Kubba — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 10:30:00 EST

Sometimes Amazon is left home alone with too much J-U-I-C-E, gets a bit too excited, and chucks around a whole bunch of quick-fire gaming deals throughout the day. Today is just such a day, and if you head over to the Gold Box page you can see all those deals just waiting to be hurled into your discount-loving arms.

One deal is ongoing through the day: Dead Space 3 for $39.99, a touch cheaper than other recent offers. As for the Lightning deals, discount sleuth GamerDeals reckons they'll see StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty swoop to $17.99, Battlefield 3 Premium bomb to $39.99 (confirmed), and the Professional Edition of Hitman: Absolution taken down to $35.99.

Far Cry 3 drops to $35 in Amazon's all-day gaming Gold Box

Sinan Kubba — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 08:00:00 EST

If it's as ludicrously cold where you are as it is where we are, you should consider buying Far Cry 3 on Amazon today for $34.99. While it's not that Caribbean vacation you've been saving for, the tropical island in Ubisoft's open-shooter sure looks warm, and maybe that virtual warmth will osmose through the screen and into your near-frozen frame.

That Far Cry 3 price is the deal of the day in Amazon's all-day, all-video-games Gold Box event. The first Lightning deal is already up, knocking the Plantronics Gamecom X95 wireless headset down to $49.99. The full list of upcoming deals teases discounts on the way for NHL 13, Hitman: Absolution, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, and NBA Baller Beats. Well, the NBA Baller Beats deal isn't so much teased as it just says the game's name. It's just too cold to come up with a riddle for everything, you know.

The sale is headed by an all-day 50 percent discount on Brave games, but also offers limited-time deals on things that aren't necessarily based on Disney films.

Things like SSX, for example, which is on sale right now for $35. Find more after the break.

EA Sports Active price pretty slim on Amazon today

Justin McElroy — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:45:00 EST

If you're among those who resolved both to lose weight and procrastinate more in 2010, you've got a perfectly opportunity to belatedly begin your regimen today with Amazon's Gold Box deal: EA Sports Active. The fat-fighting gamercise is available for $40 right now, $20 less than its usual price.

It's a shame to have to break one of your resolutions to keep another one, but you sadly can't procrastinate too much on this deal: It'll disappear by day's end.

Reminder: Tomorrow's Amazon Gold Box is PS3-centric

Ross Miller — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:25:00 EST

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 3

Amazon is doing an all-PlayStation 3 Gold Box tomorrow, and as promised over the weekend, we've got the clues for the Lightning Deals. Now, if only we could figure out what the 12PM-1PM game will be ... (all times Pacific):

6AM-10AM - Gooooal!
10AM-11AM - Hell hath no fury like this brother scorned.
11AM-12PM - 60% off these classic stop-motion monster movies in high-def
12PM-1PM - No tombs were harmed in the raiding of this underworld.
1PM-2PM - Mamma mia, here I go again / My my, how can I resist you?
2PM-3PM - Iceland has research facilities?
3PM-5PM - Keep the kids entertained in high-def
5PM-6PM - Watch Spidey in high-def
6PM-10PM - Kage bunshin no jutsu!

Also, today marks the end of the retailer's 15 Days, 15 Video Game Deals promotion with the surprisingly decently-reviewed Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe and Battlefield: Bad Company. Every MK purchase keeps the SS Midway afloat for an extra 3 minutes.
