Discountoid: Exercise games, murder and driving photo

It's Sunday, and that means it's time once again to see what is on sale this week.

Which is to say, not very much. If you were thinking about grabbing Wheelman, Best Buy has you covered at thirty bucks. Target has a few Wii exercise games knocked down a notch. GameStop has Assassin's Creed for $15 (used) this week which actually is a pretty fair price. And, if you're a member of Game Crazy's MVP program, you can take advantage of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on used games through the end of today.

More deals follow after the jump. Remember, if you live in the UK, Gemsi has a very special list of bargains just for you over in the community blogs.

Discountoid: Cheap handhelds and Buy 2 Get 1 games! photo

Sometimes I like to fantasize about being John F. Kennedy. Except that I'd be smarter than to sic my brother on the Mafia after they helped ensure my presidential victory. And I wouldn't have abandoned those Cuban refugees. I'd still totally be tapping Marilyn, though. Some things just shouldn't change.

Some strong deals this week. GameStop is doing their annual "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale on used titles, so it might be a good time to swing by your local store and see what's on the table. Game Crazy has some serious savings on their used handheld units. And Target is offering gift cards when you buy some Xbox 360 stuff, including MS points!

Hit the jump for all the week's bargains. And, if you're in the UK, you should head over to Gemsi's cblog and check out what's on sale in your neighborhood.

Discountoid: Guitar Hero kits, House of the Dead and more photo

Okay, not a ton of deals this week but there are some significant ones. Best Buy has House of the Dead: Overkill marked down by twenty dollars. GameStop is blowing out their inventory on Guitar Hero World Tour bundles (but the deal ends today) and is having a big sale for the month of July on a host of other games. And I found a few good buys at Amazon too.

Also, in the event that you don't make it past the jump, I do want to point out that the Pikmin port for Wii (the one with the new controls) is Amazon's Deal of the Day today. It's only $15 and I am totally buying that.

Hit the jump for all the week's deals. And, if you're in the UK, make sure you check out Gemsi's blog for all the deals in your neck of the world.

Discountoid: Big sales on Wii and DS, plus other bargains! photo

My patriotism is not limited to merely one day. And it looks like I'm not alone. Acting in the American spirit of consumerism, there are some really good promotions this week. Finally, a little bit of rain in a rather long drought.

Best Buy is offering a "Buy 2 Get 3rd Free" sale on Nintendo DS games. Target went the "Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off" route and applied it to a slew of Wii games, some of which aren't even listed in their weekly ad so that the bargain hunter in you can hunt and peck for what's on sale. And Toys R Us is giving away gift cards with a number of titles.

Very solid week, overall. Hit the jump to see all of the week's bargains.

Discountoid: Xbox Live, HAWX, Lego Indy and more! photo

Happy Father's Day, everybody. I come bearing bargains.

Not that there's a lot to speak of. Amazon has some decent prices, with F.E.A.R. 2 on the verge of being a buy for me. Best Buy has HAWX on sale which is probably exciting for somebody. Gamestop seems to be going through a Metal Gear Solid phase with the third installment of the main series and a PSP title on the cheap. Oh, and there are some 12-month Xbox Live subscription cards at 20% off. Not bad.

Click below for more. I assure you that you will be less surprised by what you see there than if you ventured past the jump on the woman in the above photo.

Ubisoft games on today's Woot offer photo

I frequently check Woot in the wee hours of the night on the off-chance that I can score a sweet deal on something that I actually want. Sadly, it's usually only sprinkler heads.

Today, however, they have an offer for Ubisoft games conveniently contained on an 8Gb thumbdrive. When you order, you'll get your choice of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown, Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30,
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
or Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII. At $14.99 (plus $5 shipping), that's not a bad deal. Worst case scenario, you get an 8Gb flash drive for that price, after all.

By the way, yes, I did try to find a beautiful woman to insert into this post. The results of a Google search for "tig o bitties" were just too disturbing to put on the front page of Destructoid and I decided it was better to leave well enough alone. Better luck next time.

Discount alert: FLOCK! is half price on Steam this weekend photo

If you’ve been thinking about buying FLOCK!, today would be the perfect day to put down the coin. For the remainder of the weekend Capcom’s quirky sheep herding simulation is 50 percent off Steam. If that's not enough of a deal for you, check this: Steam Achievements and a juicy patch have recently been added. Groovy.

Our review of FLOCK! is still coming, but since I’m sitting right next to Conrad I believe I’ll go ahead and ask him what he thinks of the game. “I think it’s a lot of fun," he tells me. "I think it’s undersupported [on XBLA] by the online community and at 50 percent I don’t think there’s a logical reason for anyone not to pick it up."

I also just asked him who would win in a fight: Robocop or a T-Rex on the streets of Old Detroit. His answer may surprise even the most jaded dinosaur fan.

“Robocop,” Conrad says. "And the reason for that is that Robocop has mobility there. The T-Rex has to move around s--t. If we were talking about the Savannah, Robocop’s f---ked.”

Discountoid: EndWar, Call of Duty, other cheap stuff photo

If you can't be bothered to appreciate your mother, somebody else is bound to pick up the slack.

Fairly slim week, since I guess videogames aren't considered hot items on Mother's Day. That said, if you don't have a headset for your PS3 and you want one, you can do a lot worse than picking it up as part of an EndWar bundle from Target this week. The package comes out to ten bucks less than the price of the earpiece on its own.

Amazon has a fair price on F.E.A.R. 2 and GameStop has seriously cut the price on new copies of Tom Clancy's HAWX. And Best Buy would be a wise place to visit if you still don't have Call of Duty 4 or Street Fighter 4.Go and check out the week's deals after the jump.

Discountoid: Monster sales, Grand Theft Auto and more! photo

Feels like a really long time since there's been a Discountoid post, doesn't it? Well, it has and I apologize for that. Travel and other priorities have taken up a lot of my time lately but that's no excuse. Spanking opportunities will be available at PAX.

This week, Best Buy has a ton of games priced at $10 and there are some pretty good titles in their list. Plus, the big blue box has GTA: Chinatown Wars for DS at a great deal. Toys R Us has a promotion running on Wii games that can save you a good chunk of green along with a sale on all of their PlayStation 2 titles.

Also, it's the last week for GameStop's annual Game Days sale, where you can save up to 50% on new games. If you haven't been down to check it out yet, you're running out of time.

All of the week's deals follow the jump. Have a good weekend, gang.

Today's Amazon Gold Box deals are gaming bargains photo

Amazon's daily assortment of time-sensitive bargains goes with videogames today. For starters, the Deal of the Day is for Shaun White Snowboarding on every available platform. The PS3, PSP, Wii and PC versions are going for $30, while the 360 version is just a smidge under $18.

Of course, being that the videogame department of Amazon is getting the Gold Box treatment, there are "Lightning Deals" running throughout the day as well with little clues to help you guess what will be on the cheap. After a bit of casual deduction I suspect we'll be seeing Guitar Hero World Tour for PS2, Fallout 3 for PS3 and a Dynasty Warriors title on 360 (likely Samurai Warriors 2) among others.

The full list of Lightning Deal clues is after the jump. Can you guess them all?

Discountoid: Buy 1 Get 1 half, Game Days, more sales! photo

Okay, so, I've spent my weekend reconfiguring the layout of my office. What this means for me is having a space which is more like a living room and I'm now watching Hulu all the time. That's when I discovered Battle of the Bods, which might be the most vapid, senseless television program I have ever witnessed. Yet I cannot look away. Thank you, Fox Reality Network!

In deals this week, Toys R Us has a decent list of recently released titles in a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal. MadWorld is in there along with Resident Evil 5 and some other decent stuff. Meanwhile, GameStop has started their annual Game Days promotion, as they clear out inventory of new games and force people to buy used with discounts of up to fifty percent off. Best Buy and Target round out the week with an assortment of games on sale.

Hit the jump to see all the week's deals.

Discountoid: Sports games, Guitar Hero and more! photo

Time again to round up some of the week's better bargains.

Things have been a little slow as of late, but they appear to be picking up again. Amazon has several of the 2K sports games at strong savings and a few other titles at deep discounts. Best Buy is still running a little on the weak side, focusing on DS and Wii titles, but Call of Duty: World at War could be grabbed while keeping Hamilton in your pocket a little longer. They also have the wireless Les Paul guitar controller for 360 at fifty percent off with a further $10 savings if you buy Guitar Hero: Metallica.

Fry's Electronics has returned to Discountoid with their characteristic one game worth having, but it's a good deal nonetheless. Grab the new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for Wii at a nice savings. Target also seems to be focusing on Guitar Hero, putting several iterations on sale.

Finally, if you've been holding out on getting Madden 07 for your PlayStation 2, GameStop has you covered by putting it at a phenomenal $5. No, that's not a typo. I can only assume that they're gearing up for their massive, annual Game Days sale next week and just decided to blow this one off.

All the deals, as usual, lie in wait after the jump. Going to be picking anything up this week?

Grab LittleBigPlanet cheap at GoGamer in the next 72 hours photo

Honestly, I only put the dollar signs there because I can't bear to stare into a Sackboy's soulless, dead eyes.

But hey, if you're down with LBP, then do I have a deal for you. GoGamer.com has the game in one of its "48 Hour Madness" promotions. What does this mean for you, the everyday gamer who wants their fix of user-generated platforming? A savings of almost $40, that's what.

It is a limited-time special, as indicated by the preceding paragraph, but it actually lasts a bit longer than 48 hours. You have until the clock strikes midnight (Pacific Daylight Savings Time) on Saturday, March 21st before this bargain turns into a pumpkin. A pumpkin made of burlap and filled with what I hope is sand but is probably a million wriggling maggots. God, those Sackboys creep me the hell out.

[Thanks, darktravesty!]

Discountoid: F.E.A.R. 2, Overlord, Spongebob and more photo

It's Sunday morning at Dtoid HQ and we're all a little worse for wear. Just because I'm bleary-eyed does not mean I can't still sniff out a bargain, though.

So what are the deals this week? Gamestop seems to be pushing Spongebob and Resident Evil, which is a pretty strange combination for an ad circular. If you're willing to trade in a couple of games from their list, however, you can score $40 off of a purchase of Resident Evil 5. Target and Best Buy have disappointing offers, if any. And Amazon has a number of decently marked down games to choose from.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and try to eat this hangover away. Feel free to talk about what games you're interested in picking up this week. Or the STDs you already grabbed from a weekend of partying. Whatever.
