Today’s Cheapskating features 62 notable deals.
BioShock Infinite releases on PC in less than a week, and we’re seeing a wide variety of pre-order goodies you can get your hands on if you choose to purchase now. All major retailers are throwing in the original BioShock game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and the Industrial Revolution DLC Pack, but each has its own unique bonuses to add. Green Man Gaming is offering the best deal for most people with $14 cash back and another free game you can choose from among 5 titles, but we’ve got Amazon’s offer and other solid alternatives on the deal page for your perusal.
EA’s semi-ironically named “Player Appreciation” sale features over 200 titles for up to 70% off. Not every offer is jaw dropping, but there are at least two that should pique your interest. Both Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 released last month and are now only $29.99. They’re available at that price for all platforms: PC download, PC physical, Xbox 360, or PS3. Shipping is free. Offer ends March 26th at 1pm Eastern.
GameFly is putting on a Spring Break PC Sale with downloads up to 75% off list. Each day brings a new list of games on sale. Today’s list is five games, with Sid Meier’s Civilization V: Gold Edition, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and FIFA Soccer 13 matching their previous lows. Tomorrow is the last day of the sale and will feature six new games, listed and linked here.
We haven’t really seen any price drops on last week’s release of God of War: Ascension yet, but you can get a nice deal on the game bundled with the God of War Saga. The cheapest you’ll find the Saga by itself is for $38, so while you’re technically paying list for GoW: Ascension, you’re getting plenty of added value.
