Today’s Cheapskating features 33 striking deals.
It’s an Assassin’s Creed weekend over at GamersGate. All PC download Assassin’s Creed games and DLC are between 50-83% off. Perhaps the most noteworthy is the Assassin’s Creed 3 PC download for $24.98 – the lowest price ever by $5 and $25 off the usual $50. The latest DLC Tyranny of King Washington is also on sale for $5, normally $10.
A rare discount was spotted this week on Skyrim DLC packs. As part of GameStop’s latest Spring PC Download sale, all Skyrim DLCs are 50% off, making new low prices for each. The latest Dragonborn is down to $9.99, which makes a new low by $6.
Tomb Raider dropped to $33.49 at GameFly, making the PC download close to half off its list price. This is the lowest price we’ve seen since its March 5th release, with other retailers still selling for $50 or more.
Though we’ve seen SimCity in the $30 price range before, today’s deal from Green Man Gaming could be looked at as the best ever. For a day and a half last week, GameFly had a crazy markdown to $32 (everyone else $60)… but that previous best offer is basically beat this week by Green Man Gaming. They’ve dropped the price from $60 to $50 instantly – a good start. For further savings, there’s also a 20% off coupon code to get the price to $40. The real kicker comes in with a bonus of either a $10 GMG credit towards other games or $7 cash back. That effectively makes the game a $30-$33 purchase, depending on which bonus you pick.
And even though it only came out this past Tuesday, Dishonored‘s The Knife of Dunwall DLC already has a 20% off coupon at Green Man Gaming, bringing it to only $8. Reviews are positive thus far, and the DLC activates on Steam.
