Unreal Tournament III 360 is a black market baby @ Amazon today
-D- | 7:53 AM on 07.08.2008 13 comments




No, your eyes are not retardo and neither am I (this time, at least).

Today's Amazon Deal of the Day is in fact Unreal Tournament III for XBox 360 at a price of $44.99 + free shipping. What's the deal here Amazon? This has never happened before and it makes me wonder (oooooooooo it makes me wonder) what happened in the warehouse that prompted a price cut before it's even officially out in the Amazon system (listed July 10th ship date).

Alright, maybe they decided since the PC and PS3 versions are out with price points of $24 and $40 respectively, they figured, "eh, what the hell?" It's possible and certainly not completely out of the ordinary, however, I think it's far more sinister than this.

What I think happened is when the shipment of Unreal Tournament III was opened, they found a cursed idol in the box. This prompted a flashback to that episode of "The Brady Bunch" where they go to Hawaii and Greg gets into some shenanigans while surfing and trying to bang his step-sister. No one wants that kind of bad juju, especially when there's semi-incestuous action to be had. Amazon's peeps know this and they don't need some curse mucking up their weekend plans so now it's a flip of the coin for you to believe this tall tale and skip a solid, brand new, cheap game or go balls deep and surrender to your desires.

I know why it happened: they realized Q3A is still better than UT!

This game is not relevant to my interests...if I wanted to play a game that looks like Gears of War, I will play Gears. And if I wanted to play Unreal I'd play it on the PS3 where I can play as Samus and have customizatino cause I have no PC.

$44? Hmmmm, Maybe if it was less for future release game.

This deal is the epitome of why Amazon is my favorite retailer. I would totally get this if I didn't already have it for PS3.

I suppose this deal might be good for people who don't already own Gun Shooter Guy 2.

I'll have to see a review before I decide whether to get the 360 version or the PS3 version

ps3 version is so much better (and cheaper) (and free online play) (and free customization) (and nicer resolution)
