Today’s Cheapskating features 42 solid deals.
It’s hard to beat 2 PC games for $1, and so this week’s Humble Bundle sale is probably the best deal out there right now. The Humble bundle has a pay-what-you-want system with a minimum payment of $1. Pay the minimum or more and get Darksiders and Red Faction: Armageddon. Pay the average ($6.71 at the time of writing) or more and get two more games: Darksiders II and Red Faction: Guerilla.
This past Sunday’s release of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon for the 3DS has garnered laudatory reviews from critics and fans alike thus far, and right now you can pick it up for $34 shipped from Kmart, with other stores selling at its $40 list price.
Tuesday’s release of BioShock Infinite is getting rave reviews just about everywhere you look. A week ago you could have pre-ordered and gotten a few bonus games, but unfortunately that offer is over and at all but one site you won’t get any bonus offers. Green Man Gaming still offers their $14 cash back or $15 credit bonus, which isn’t as good as last week but still a pretty solid offer for a hot title during its release week.
Not long after the Battlefield 4 trailer was released, a few select retailers have started taking pre-orders for the game. Every pre-order includes the “Premium Expansion Pack”, which presumably will include extra maps and DLC. GameFly has a coupon code for 20% off, which gets you the game for $47.99.
Next Tuesday’s release of Defiance for PC download gets a nice 25% off coupon from Green Man Gaming, bringing it to $45. Other retailers are selling for the full $60 list price. Fans of open-world shooters with a futuristic bent should keep an eye on this one.
