Loading ...VE3D had the scoop on a game blow-out sale, for all platforms, that Amazon was having. Some games, mostly the PC games, are heavily discounted down to about 50%, but there are plenty of games for the PS3, XBox 360 and Wii that look tasty on the list.
My quick picks for you guys (this list only includes sure-fire hits… there are plenty of good in-the-middle games in these lists too):
PS3
- $20 – Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- $45 – F.E.A.R.
XBox 360
- $50 – Halo 3
PC Games
- $20 – Dreamfall: The Longest Journey (Adventure Game)
- $30 – World in Conflict (Real Time Strategy)
- $20 – F.E.A.R.
- $10 – Quake 4 (If you liked Doom 3, Q4 is very cool)
- $20 – WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos (Still a great RTS, a little old-school though)
Sorry, nothing for the Wii. I didn’t see any great ones on that list, but there are a handful of OK ones depending on what you want.

am still using my trusty ps2, but am impressed how the ps3 has managed to drop to $399 with 40gb hd, blue-ray drive and free online gaming

compared to an xbox 360 $350 (with no HD-DVD… and $70/year to play online..)

also the ps3 has the ability to be used as a second PC.

xbox: 33%

Totally agree with you manny on all accounts. I love my PS3, and while I like some games on the 360, I think the 360 itself is not that great. (I do like the actual 360 controller a bit better though)

if the 360 doesn’t die on you (which sadly happened to most of my friends) than is a great console.
also the 360 is not so exclusive as many of their games r getting a pc/ps3 port.
but if i would buy a console right now, the ps3 is a bargain with all it’s features (even better than the wii as it’s price hasnt drop and hard to get one).
