Discountoid: Too Human, Mirror's Edge, EndWar and more photo

Time for deals? Okay, in all seriousness, I found this image attached to a blog and spent twenty minutes scrolling through years of updates trying to discern what the context for it was. I was disappointed. Not in the boobs, mind you, but the content did not live up to the hopeful expectation.

Speaking of which, we have another highly disappointing week when it comes to bargains. Best Buy has only one game on sale this week, and it's a measly ten bucks off of Left 4 Dead, but they do have the Xbox Live bundle with chatpad and 12-month service at a really good price.

Gamestop does a bit better, although most of the games aren't things I'm interested in. They still manage to do better than Target, who have absolutely no games on sale this week. Depressing.

All of this means that I had to scour Amazon extra hard this week, but I did come up with a few good deals.  Lost Planet for PS3 has a decent sale price, as does Tom Clancy's EndWar for PS3 and 360. 

All the week's deals, as usual, follow the jump.

Also, boobs...

yeah, pretty ho-hum deals, but it just gives me another week to finally finish Persona 3:FES and get more practice on Street Fighter 4.

Did you leave out Steam deals on purpose? Lost Planet is only 5 bucks this weekend.

For that pic, I love you unconditionally. That just put me in a much-needed good mood. Thanks Conrad.

@DarkTower06: I can't win with Steam deals.

-If I post them, people complain that people who are interested in those deals already know about them and they're only good for the weekend.

-If I don't post them, people complain that, well, I didn't post them.

One of these things requires less effort on my part for the same amount of complaints.

At under $40, I say Mirror's Edge is worth it.

The good thing about having mediocre sales this week is that it makes me feel better about not having any money.

Bad Company for 20 bucks?

Too bad there is this kickass wallet I'm looking at, to keep all my (lack of) paper money in.

I would say Bad Company is easily worth the $20. COD4 is still taking up all my online shooter time, but Bad Company has a really fun campaign.

Call of Duty: World at War Collector's Edition is only $42 at Amazon as well. Call of duty 4 for the PS3 for $50? I guess your forgot to mention that there's also a Call of Duty 4 Collector's Edition for the PC for only $42. Awesome yea? Also, Universe at War is only 97 cents at Amazon! How crazy is that?!

I still prefer the Anime girls. Cartoon women don't care if you objectify them. Real women do.

In addition to the price drop on the XBL&Chatpad bundle, you can also get 2 free tickets to see Watchmen with it.

I picked it up today, so I can verify the deal. How sweet it is!
