Just make sure you avoid Gangs of London at all costs.Visit CAG for more deals on other platforms.
Deal of the Day: Nyko Zero Wireless Controller for $25
We'd have to admit, these controllers by Nyko are rather unfortunate looking. However, if you want a spare controller around in case a friend you don't like so much comes over, you can't beat these.The controller isn't without its merits; it is cheap, it includes a both a rechargeable battery and a AA battery pack if you don't wait for the controller to charge, it also claims to have "Six-Direction Tilt & Vibration." Keep in mind, though the controller is wireless, it isn't Bluetooth. The color of the controller is also determined randomly. Did we mention it is ugly?[Via Slickdeals.net]
Deal of the Day: Free $15 gift card with GT5:P
Have you picked up Gran Tursimo 5: Prologue yet? If not, this might be an enticing deal for you. Online retailer amazon.com is offering a free $15 gift card with the purchase of Polyphony's latest racing game. Considering it only retails for $40, that's a pretty sizable bonus. (Strangely, buying this online at amazon would make it cheaper than buying it online at the PLAYSTATION Store ...)The gift card will be included in an email sent out by July 29th, after purchase.[Via Slickdeals.net]
Deal of the Day: 2 for $25 Blu-ray at Best Buy online
Blu-ray sales are a bit more rare after the end of the format war, but there are still some hot deals to be found. Here is the latest offering from Best Buy: 2 for $25. Two of these films are this blogger's personal favorites - Dawn of the Dead and Total Recall. The Masters of Horror series is also worthy of a look, although the quality of each director's feature varies greatly. There is even a pre-order for a small gem of a Western that has yet to be released.Keep in mind, however, this offer is only valid online.

Deal of the Day: Burnout Paradise $40 everywhere [Update]
Criterion's racing game has a number of updates planned for this year and beyond, and we approve. For those that haven't jumped into Paradise City, Walmart.com's price reduction on Burnout Paradise might warrant a purchase. For $40, you'll get all of Paradise City, access to the upcoming expansions, and an extra $20 to keep in your wallet. That's not too shabby!Update: Looks like this was a universal price drop. Burnout Paradise is also $40 at amazon.com, Best Buy, buy.com, Circuit City, Gamestop.[Thanks, Juan P.!]
Deal of the Day: Downstream Panic! for $15
Fans of PSP's LocoRoco would heed our advice and find a copy of Atari's lovable Downstream Panic!. This PSP-exclusive puzzle game has stylish graphics, and fun gameplay -- yet never got the attention it deserved. Yes, this is another fantastic exclusive that was ignored, left to cry by the wayside.Now that this innovative fish-saving game (seriously) has dropped to $15 on amazon.com, you have almost no choice not to buy it. Word to wise, however. In spite its ridiculously cute looks, this is one incredibly challenging puzzle game.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Every Extend Extra for $13
Cult shooter Every Extend Extra may not have reached the same acclaim as Q Entertainment's other PSP game, Lumines, but it's a pretty solid addition to one's PSP collection. In Every Extend Extra, players must strategically blow themselves up and create chains to damage enemies. The unique visuals and hypnotic soundtrack create a surreal experience. But be warned! The game is relentlessly difficult (unlike the XBLA sequel).You can get it for $13 shipped at Play-Asia. It's a rather interesting PSP exclusive, so you may want to give it a try.[Via CAG]

Well, we're squeezing Damages into our much-too-large collection. DVDTALK USATODAY NYTIMES SUPERSALE DDDCD DD1110 DVDPRICESEARCH LATIMES ESPN YAHOO JIM WGN [Via SlickDeals.net]

We kid you not. Dell is selling a 40GB PS3 system, with Resistance: Fall of Man and NBA 08 for only $280, plus tax. We don't know how long this deal will last, so we decided to put this up ASAP. Hopefully, by the time you read this, this deal will still be alive and well. G'luck!Update: Well, it's already dead. That was fast!
Deal of the Day: Uncharted for $40 at Amazon
Amazon's Gold Box deal prepares to steal your money once again today as it chops $20 off the price for one of the best PS3 games available, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. At $60 the game was a must-buy, but at $40 there's simply no excuse. If you haven't yet partaken in Drake's epic quest for the gold of El Dorado, then now's your chance to do so. If you need yet more persuading, check out our review of the game. This deal will only last until they are out of stock and there's no telling when that will be, so be sure to act swiftly.

Free $100 gift card with PS3 purchase at Walmart.com
Super-ultra-mega-retailer Wal-Mart has an enticing offer for those that haven't jumped on the PS3 bandwagon (we're looking at you, Mr. "I'm an Xbox fanboy, but for some reason I comment exclusively on PS3 Fanboy"). The 40GB PS3 system is available with a special bonus: a $100 gift card that can be used for future purchases at the store. If you pick up in-store, shipping is free, but having it mailed to your front door will cost $10. An extra hundred bucks to spend will net you a few games and movies -- we think that's a pretty sweet deal.[Thanks, Alan!]
Deal of the Day: Guitar Hero III bundle for $60
If you missed out on this generation of music gaming, this deal from amazon.com may help kickstart the habit. The Guitar Hero III bundle, which includes a wireless guitar, is now available for $60. Yeah, that's expensive ... but that's $40 cheaper than standard MSRP.While we're pretty sure this guitar will work in the upcoming Guitar Hero: Aerosmith and Guitar Hero IV, don't expect to use it in Rock Band. If you don't care about cross-series compatibility, this is a pretty stellar deal.[Via slickdeals.net]
Deal of the Day: Pump It Up bundle $20
Korean rhythm game fans are going to love this. Both Pump It Up EXCEED Portable and Pump It Up Zero Portable are available at import retailer Play-Asia this week for only $20. Imports rarely come cheap, so getting two games for such an incredibly low price is a deal we simply can't refuse.For the unfamiliar, the Pump It Up series is a popular music game, similar to Bemani's DDR series. Arrows go towards the top of the screen, and the player must hit the buttons in tandem with the music. Although, we're wondering: could this handheld game possibly be as fun as the arcade originals?[Via PSPHyper]
Deal of the Day: Ratchet & Clank for $15
Get ready for the release of Secret Agent Clank by playing the first PSP Ratchet game, Size Matters. High Impact did an incredible job of recreating the classic Ratchet gameplay on the handheld. Watch for the space missions: they're still some of the prettiest levels created for any PSP game to date.Check it out for $15 at amazon.com.[Via CAG]

Deal of the Day: PS3 40GB for 230 [Update]
It's interesting, now, to look back on the PS3's troubled first year. People complained that it had no games (a criticism only the criminally insane would dare make nowadays), that Blu-ray wasn't a proven format (which has since been proved) and that the price was too high. Now, however, Play.com have dropped the 40GB PS3 to its lowest price ever, beating out the competition by £70. You can head on over to the site right now and pick one up for only £230. That includes free shipping. Bargain!It's worth noting that the Xbox 360 Elite currently costs £250 on the same site, so there's no contest between which is the better deal. We expect people to jump at this price, so if you're on the fence (and a UK resident) now might be the perfect time to re-evaluate a purchase.[Update] Looks like this was a mistake! Play.com has updated the price to £289.99. Looks like it really was too good to be true. [Thanks Wilester]
Deal of the Evening: Buy two Blu-ray movies, get one free
It's another Amazon Blu-ray sale bonanza! Never as awesome as the buy one, get one free sale from long ago, they regularly stick a buy two, get one free sale on select Blu-ray titles. This is a decent opportunity to expand your library. Well, we'd like to say that, but we couldn't find three titles worth purchasing. A lot have been around for a while, so most people have them already. Still, if you've been waiting for a sale to bolster your library, check out what they've got and let us know what you think!
