Amazon Gold Box: Ass Creed II for $40, Samit guesses more photo

Amazon.com is doing their Gold Box games sale thing today. Kicking things off is Assassin's Creed II, on sale for only $39.78. Supplies are limited, and here's proof of that: The day's first deal was on Grand Theft Auto IV, for $19.78, but that's all gone now.

Ass Creed 2 for $40. That sounds like a deal for anyone, except for maybe Jim Sterling. 790 comments. Jesus.

As you probably already know, Gold Box unlocks new deals throughout the day. Our own Samit Sarkar has put in his guesses for what the next deals will be, guessing from the hints that Amazon drops:

12 PM EST: inFamous
2 PM EST: WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010?
4 PM EST: Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes?
6 PM EST: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
8 PM EST: SAW
10 PM EST: a PS3 arcade stick

There's more great deals here, on Amazon. There's a good $20 discount on Dragon Age: Origins, Brutal Legend, and Need for Speed: Shift right now. 

Go on, get yourself something nice for Christmas.

Bah. I actually like the Ass Creed games, I've been waiting for the sequel to drop to this price! But I don't have $40 to spare on myself right now with Christmas so close. I'm just a poor college kid.

Oh well, the game can wait. Cool deals though!

I'd say Samit's guesses are pretty spot-on. I like to guess videogame deals with Amazon's vague/obvious descriptors. 6:00AM's(GTAIV) deal description was "This anti-hero is fresh off the boat."

Too bad they couldn't have the PS3-Only Gold Box day have actual PS3 exclusives. I would have loved to pick up MGS4, Uncharted or Ratchet. This is just Amazon trying to clear their (lame) inventory. Transformers: RotF? Seriously, Amazon?

40 bucks is still too much for me. I know I know, I am not the best retail price buyer but hey.

I need that info, as well. If this is true, I may very well have to buy it over the AC II deal they have on Amazon now.

I feel like crying almost every time I see a good deal for infamous after realizing that I payed about $45 for the game around the time it was released. I feel partially ripped off, but at least I got to play a relatively good game. Plus it had the Uncharted 2 beta, so who am I to complain?

Also, Zelda Spirit Tracks and Bowser's Inside Story are only $25 on amazon right now. Both are most certainly worth picking up for tha tprice.

I just checked and its actually Uncharted part one, not Uncharted 2 that's bundled with the dualshock3! D'oh! Sorry for the mixup. However, as a new PS3 owner, I'll be picking it up so I can see what's so good about the series(and I need a new DS3 for co-op).

Uncharted2 or not, a great(from what I hear) game and extra controller for the price of a single game is still a good deal! ($59)

Uncharted/Dualshock bundle

Assassin's creed 2 is flippin' awesome. I was put off at first and I was ANGRY at the game. Then I restarted, game glitched no trophies lol. It was much better after I restarted. I ACTUALLY KNEW THE CONTROLS. Yes, I did beat the first, but that was 2 long years ago. After you get into it you REALLY get into it. I can barely play uncharted 2 due to the awesomeness of AC2.

Not sure if its the same deal or not, but the Uncharted/Dualshock deal I saw as for "Drakes Fortune" the first game, not Uncharted 2.

Woo! Got it. Awesome deal. I wish I'd scored the same deal with Left 4 Dead 2 a few weeks ago.

A PS3 arcade stick, hmm? I'll be keeping an eye on that one! I've been putting off getting my ass handed to me in Soul Calibur IV for too long now.
