Deal of the Day: Chili Con Carnage only $14 [Update]
The cult hit Chili Con Carnage hits the amazon.com bargain bins today, dropping down to a paltry price of $13.99. Steven Bailey notes in his PSP Fanboy review that "the game is genuinely funny and you'll face a midget with a giant head and bull horns, explosive chickens, bikini clad women with automatic weapons and that's just to name a few encounters."Now, you'll be able to face those very explosive chickens at a bargain price.Update: amazon.com has even more deals. Check them all out here. Or, choose one of these options:PlayGear Pocket case - $10Metal Gear Acid - $10Marvel Trading Card Game - $17[Thanks, txa1265! Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Blu-Ray prices dropping fast thanks to web promotions
So we're in the midst of a game drought. No big deal. By a lucky coincidence the PS3 can also play Blu-Ray discs. Did you know that? Now, with a recently introduced "3 for 2" promotion at Amazon US and DVD Empire, getting your favourite films in High Definition has never been so cheap.The list of films available in the promotion is limited to 34 of the less popular titles. Even so, there should still be some decent movies there worthy of your hard earned cash. Some of the more notable films include Casino Royale, Big Fish, Memento, Silent Hill and House of Flying Daggers. While it would have been nice to have seen Pirates of the Caribbean I & II in the mix, they seem to be selling well enough as it is.Alternatively, you can save 20% on all Blu-Rays and DVDs over at deepdiscount.com by using the voucher code "USATODAY". With a combination of these two promotions, you'll never have to pay full price for a Blu-Ray disc again. Maybe.[Update: Corrected wording. "3 for 2," not "2 for 1."]
Deal of the Day: 4GB Memory Stick for $40
While we'd love to get our hands on a 8GB Memory Stick Duo, our wallets cringe at the sight of its steep price tag. Thankfully, 4GB cards continue to plummet in price. Fry's is offering a Lexar stick for only $40, including shipping. 4GB is more than enough space, even for videophiles that like to encode their videos in full resolution. As these sticks continue to slowly decline in price, one wonders when a 8GB card will be as affordable as this.[Via IGN Boards]

Deep Discount is at it again. They're having their semi-annual 20% off sale, which will let you take off 20% off all DVDs, Blu-ray discs and UMDs in their collection. They have fairly low prices throughout the store, and with an additional savings of 20%, PSP bargain-hunters are sure to find something they want.

We were able to pick up Sin City for only $7, the perfect price for a movie on the go.[Thanks, Spencer!]

Deal of the Day: Free SIXAXIS with PS3 purchase
Today's Deal of the Day comes to us from EBGames. For the next week (5/11-5/17) you get a free SIXAXIS controller with the purchase of a PlayStation 3. A great deal for people planning on picking up a PlayStation 3 soon, it saves you enough to (almost) buy another game and sets you up nicely for multiplayer action. The coupon is required though, so make sure to print out the one posted on the official PlayStation forums.
Deal of the Day: Ratchet and Clank only $20
While Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters won't even be out in Europe for another week, those of you in America can pick up the game for a very modest $20 over at GameExpress.com. In fact, we Europeans should take advantage of the PSP being region free and nab us a great bargain too. To be honest, I'm surprised if any self respecting PSP owner hasn't bought it by now. You owe it to yourself to save yourself a bit of money on this great game.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: system for $140 & cases for cheap
Your eyes do not deceive you: this Sam Goody store is showcasing an even lower price for PSP: $139.99, a mere $10 above Nintendo DS. What gives? Well, it appears this retailer is offering a $30 mail-in rebate. The offer ends Wednesday, which doesn't give deal-seekers too much time to take advantage of this pretty awesome sale. Find store locations here.For those no interested in picking up a new system, amazon.com is offering some nice deals on PSP cases. Sony's official travel case is going for less than $10, and the popular PlayGear Pocket is going for $13. While I find the hard cases to be too bulky for my tastes, it appears they're considered pretty standard fare by the PSP community.[Via Gaming Bits & CAG]
Deal of the Day: Gurumin drops to $20
The cute, lovable beat-animals-with-a-drill game, Gurumin, has dropped to a measly $20 at Gamestop. The game is quickly attracting a cult audience, and at that budget price, you may want to figure out why. PSP Fanboy gave it a 7.5, praising its unique charm, but bashing its slow pacing.Capcom Puzzle World is also on sale, also for $20. Is Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo worth the price of admission? Some would say yes. As our review notes, don't expect much more than that from the game. Is a 5.0 much easier to swallow at this budget price? Quite possibly.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Circuit City brings cheap gaming
It looks like Circuit City is having a sale on a wide assortment of PSP titles. While you can peruse them all, we have a few recommendations for you: Bust-A-Move Deluxe $40 $10 Lumines $20 $13 Mercury Meltdown $20 $15 The Warriors $20 $15 Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories $20 $15 Chili Con Carnage $30 $20 Mortal Kombat Unchained $30 $20 Lumines II $30 $20 May we recommend Chili Con Carnage? Steve reviewed the game, noting the "long campaign with loads of hilarious, cool and memorable experiences." Circuit City offers free shipping with orders over $25, so you may want to pick up more than one game from this list.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Rockstar gets really cheap
This week's circulars are highlighting the PSP price drop, and some fantastic deals on some great Rockstar games. The Warriors, which received a prestigious 8.5 review from PSP Fanboy, is getting even cheaper, dropping down to a mere $15 at Circuit City. Sure, it's a port--but it's a mighty fine game on the handheld.Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is also entering the Best Buy bargain bin this week: it'll be available for a mere $20. Who said PSP games had to be expensive?[Via IGN]
PSM brings DMC4 preview; gets cheap
As many of you are already familiar, PSM has scored a huge 16-page exclusive on Devil May Cry 4 in their latest issue (in newsstands today). Their preview of the multi-platform action game has us yearning for more: "It's safe to say that the generational leap in hardware has not caused the series to lose sight of what it is: pure, all-out, unforgiving action ... Many mainstays from the series, including colored orbs, air juggling, and the Euro-gothic aesthetic remain intact- only everything is rendered in eye-blistering high-definition at a locked 60 frames per second."While current subscribers are enjoying the dreamy pictures of Nero fighting demon hordes, the vigilant deal-watching group CAG has unearthed a fantastic deal for new subscriptions. 12 issues of PSM are now available for $5 at amazon.com, after instant rebate. While new subscribers are unlikely to receive the latest DMC4 blowout, one Lincoln is still a great deal for something to read when you absolutely have no access to PS3 Fanboy.
Deal of the Day: Ape Escape Racer only $15
You've played the demo: now you can buy this import racer for cheap at Play-Asia. While we didn't think too highly of the game (too slow for our tastes), there aren't really any other monkey-themed kart-style racers on our system. So, if you have the itch for a Mario Kart-styled game, at least it won't cost you a pretty penny.Honestly, we recommend picking up Bleach: Heat the Soul 2 instead. As a CAG forum user pointed out, it's only $25. The Bleach games don't differ too much from each other, so you won't feel like you're missing out too much compared to Heat the Soul 4.
Deal of the Day: LocoRoco for $15
Surprisingly, LocoRoco wasn't included in today's Greatest Hits update. Maybe it didn't sell enough copies? Regardless, import retailer Play-Asia is offering the blubbery platform game for cheap: only $14.90, plus shipping. Although this is an import version, this package offers English text ... even though of all games, this probably doesn't need it.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Gold PSP for $160, and other import deals
Play-Asia is having their Crazy Week sale, which truly lives up to its namesake. The store is slashing prices 20% for every in-stock item not released in the past 30 days. That includes hardware, which means the import Champagne Gold PSP is only $160: that's cheaper than buying a boring black Core system in America!But that's not the only deal in the store. You may be interested in picking up the original DJ Max Portable, the GPS receiver, Pink PSP, Silver PSP, or the PaRappa pouch. Happen to find other noteworthy deals? Tell us![Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: Killzone gets cheap
Amazon.com has a somewhat random deal today: Killzone: Liberation is now available for $26.48 with free shipping. Now's probably a good time to pick up the game, considering how a new Infrastructure multiplayer patch will be publically available soon. PSP Fanboy commenters will be quick to note that Killzone is one of their favorite games on the system: would you like to join them? [Via CAG]
Games on sale at Target
This week, those of you with a love of saving some scratch (who doesn't like a little extra dough, amirite?), yet must still succumb to the lust for new games might want to stop in to your local Target store. They're selling a whole slew of DS games for $24. Games from $29.99 and up have been reduced in price, allowing those of you who've perhaps stayed away from some of those $34.99-priced games to get down off that fence and get to the purchasing. Games in the sale include Diddy Kong Racing, Elite Beat Agents and Spectrobes. And that's just what we're seeing in the ad!So, do you plan on taking Target up on their offer? [Thanks, James; via Joystiq]
Deal of the Day: WTF for only $15
WTF, or Work Time Fun, is the first game we ever reviewed on PSP Fanboy: "Although the game certainly features some stinkers, it's still an enjoyable game that takes advantage of the PSP quite well." At a budget price of $15 at Gamestop, the game's value increases quite a bit, making that 6.0 score we gave it a little easier to swallow.[Via CAG]
Deal of the Day: 20% off PSP accessories
PSP has more than enough accessories: from speakers, to cases, to wifi adaptors, and more. Well, now's your chance to go on a shopping spree. CompUSA is having a 20% sale on all PSP accessories. Sale ends tomorrow, so if you want to take advantage of these deals, you'll have to act pretty quickly.[Via CAG]
