Most Recent: Daily Scoop

I’m home sick and feeling utterly horrendous! So I’m laying in bed, hugging my laptop to me and wishing I didn’t have to move ever. Unfortunately, I need to feed myself at some point, and probably bathe. I did get out of bed to go around the corner and get bloodwork done, which was a lot less fun than it sounds (and it doesn’t really sound all that fun, does it?). But hey, at least this has given me a chance to see all the great deals that are out there today… and try not to spend money on them while I’m at it!

First up is the awesome sale going on over at Best Buy. It’s pretty ridiculous. You can get Infamous 2 for $9.99, and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations for $9.99, which John and I are getting, in that order. There are also a ton of accessories for super cheap, like a Sony brand Memory Stick Micro M2 – 4GB for $1.99, regular price $34.99. Either someone over at Best Buy has lost their mind, or this sale is freaking awesome. Perhaps both?

Amazon’s also got some new sales up this week, though they aren’t as great as Best Buy’s…

• Just Dance Greatest Hits on sale for $30 for Wii and Xbox 360
• Save 30% on Test Drive: Ferrari Legends for PS3 and Xbox 360
• Get 25% off Akai Katana for Xbox 360
• Get $35 off Ear Force DPX21 Headset and 5.1/7.1 Channel Dolby Surround Sound when you buy NCAA
• Save 30% on Plantronics Gamecom P90
• Two Thrustmaster deals: save $65 on Thrustmaster T500RS Racing Wheel (making it just $534.99!) and save $12 on Thrustmaster Ferarri Wireless F430 Gamepad

That’s all for deals… unless those aren’t good enough for you, in which case, go stick your head back in the Steam sale.

And now: t-shirt time! Two great Mario-themed shirts for you today: (more…)

My Daily Scoop should really just be called the Sporadic Scoop at this point. I’ve been so busy that I can’t even keep the days straight. But whatever, I’m here now! Sadly, there are no deals going on at all. None whatsoever. I can’t think of a single…

Oh, right! The Steam sale! I almost forgot about it. Except every single person on my Facebook friends list, and instant messenger list, and in real life, cannot shut the hell up about it. So it’s impossible for me to have forgotten. Throw all of your money at Valve right now – I’m not even going to bother listing the stuff on sale. Just go there, give them your bank account number, and play games until your eyes bleed.

Three shirts today, including a board game reference! (more…)

Do you know what’s sad? Homework. I mean, the homework itself isn’t sad. It’s the having homework part of it that is sad. I have no time for the essentials, like playing video games. Laundry is a distant memory. I hardly remember to shower or sleep anymore. I eat when I can, and that’s almost only when my boyfriend asks me, “hey, when was the last time you ate?”

It’s a sad world indeed.

But, the good news is, I’ve got some deals for you! First up: Amazon’s sale on handheld games, accessories, and systems, called Handheld Deals for your Summer Road Trip. There are 11 pages of deals to sort through, so knock yourself out!

Amazon’s also got a bunch of new deals up this week, as always:

• Save $10 on the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
• Get Darkness II for $19.99 for PS3 and Xbox 360
• Save $20 on the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Pro Gamepad Controller for PS3 and Xbox 360
• Get Professor Layton and the Last Specter for $17.95
• Get Atari’s Greatest Hits Vol 1 for $10.99

I’ve also got three great shirts and a cute Etsy surprise for you as well: (more…)

And not just any Friday, either – it’s Friday the 13th! Those of you with Triskaidekaphobia will not be pleased. For everyone else – happy Friday!

Not really many deals going on today – in fact, the only one worth mentioning is the one over at the Gearbox shop. From 7/12 to 7/15, use the code SDCC_12 to get 20% off of everything in the store! They’ve even got an awesome new Wub Wub shirt, which is the one I’ve been waiting for since PAX East. Urge to purchase… rising… rising…

That’s not the only good shirt for sale today, either! (more…)

It’s almost Friday, woohoo! And since there really aren’t that many deals today, I wanted to share something special – my friend Jason Tagmire is trying to get his awesome deck-building game, Pixel Lincoln, Kickstarted. They’ve already reached their goal, but their stretch goals are pretty amazing. You should check it out and consider getting a copy! It’s super fun.

Amazon does have some deals today, but only a few. There are three Lightning Deals counting down throughout the day, two of which are specific to Skylander fans:

10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST: Advanced Bluetooth gaming headset for PlayStation 3

12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST: Get this robotic dragon Skylander at a hot price

1:00 PM PST/4:00 PM EST: Get this stealthy Skylander at a hot price

Lots of great t-shirts today! (more…)
