Today’s Cheapskating features 50 sound deals.
There’s a new Indie Royale PC download bundle available today with some pretty nice deals in it. If you pay more than the minimum (currently $5.96), the price goes down for everyone else, but it goes up if you pay the minimum. If you pay $8, you’ll get an album called Parallel Processing as well (chiptune electro gameboy industrial prog metal, anyone?). The basic bundle includes Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People, Guns of Icarus Online, Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior’s Rise, KRUNCH, Delve Deeper, and a few DLCs, wallpaper, and a soundtrack. Normally these things would cost a solid $65 or so.
NewEgg has a coupon code for $10 off select PC pre-order games. Notable titles include Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, SimCity Limited Edition, and Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn. Bear in mind these are the physical DVD copies. It’s probably the best pre-order offer out there for Heart of the Swarm.
BioShock Infinite comes with your choice of $15 credit or $14 cash back from Green Man Gaming. So even though it’s technically at list price, you’ll end up paying around $46 in the end. You’ll also get the original BioShock game and your choice of one of five additional games.
Amazon has the best PC pre-order offers on the soon to release Tomb Raider and Sim City games. Tuesday’s release Tomb Raider is $11 off the next cheapest you’ll find, and tomorrow’s release SimCity: Limited Edition is $15 off list. These offers are short-lived, though, as the coupon that makes them expires at the end of today.
Another today-only hot deal is the Borderlands Collection
from GameFly. It includes Borderlands 2 and the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition for only $23.99 after coupon. That’s $35 less than the $60 it would cost to buy each game separately.
