So I’ve learned something as I’ve got older. Games can be a bit expensive, especially since there are so many games that are incredibly good now. This last Christmas there were probably five or ten games worth buying. If you were to pay full price for them that would cost $300-500. That’s enough to buy a PS3 or two Wii’s(if you can find them in stores).
To that end, I’ve put together this page to keep track of the latest cheap game deals. When I come across a cool game deal, I’ll post it below. Bookmark the page or bookmark it on your favorite bookmarking site to check back often to get the latest game deals.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB Graphics Card – Newegg.com has the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 on sale for $144.99 – $15.00 mail-in rebate for a low low price of $129.99. The card has 512MB of 256-bit GDDR3 memory which absolutely screams. This gfx card runs great and at this price you really can’t beat it. It’s got possibly the best bang for the buck right now.

Little Big Planet (Playstation 3) – Newegg.com has LittleBigPlanet on sale for only $46.99. The game normally sales for $56.99, so this is a $10 savings. PS3 owners love LBP and it has really been a shining beacon of what can be done on the Playstation 3 for Sony. If you haven’t played this game, you really should check it out.
XBox 360 60 GB Bundle w/Tom Clancy’s EndWar – Dell Home has the Xbox 360 60 GB bundle with Tom Clancy’s End War, Lego Indiana Jones, and Kung-Fu Panda on sale for only $258.99 after $100 discount. Offer Good through January 29, 2009. You have to add it to your cart for the sale price to be shown.

Nintendo Wii Brains And Games Bundle – Buy.com has a fantastic Nintendo Wii bundle currently available. It comes with the Wii system bundle (includes remote/numchuck, and wii sports), Big Brain Academy, Carnival Games, Mario Party 8, and Rampage: Total Destruction, all for only $389.99. Buy.com is offering free shipping on this item as well. The Wii is still hard to find and this is a fantastic bundle opportunity while supplies last.
Call of Duty: World At War for $49.99 (Xbox 360 or PS3) – Amazon.com has Call of Duty: World At War on sale for $49.99. Normally the game retails for $59.99, so this is $10 off. Not a bad deal for a brand new game like this. I’ve heard reasonably good things about this title, so it’s probably worth checking out.
January 19th 2009
Xbox Live 12+1 Month Subscription Card [EXPIRED]– Amazon.com has a 12+1 month XBox Live Gold subscription card on sale for only $29.97. That’s a $20.02 savings off the normal Xbox Live Gold subscription rate. If you are going to renew soon, you can’t beat this deal. It even comes with a bonus month.
Far Cry 2 (Xbox 360 or PS3) for $29.99 – Best Buy has Far Cry 2 on sale for $29.99 on the Xbox 360 and PS3. The game normally retails for $60, so that’s half price. Far Cry 2 is a game that was very well reviewed, but seemed to slip through the cracks of this year’s massive holiday season. Now’s your chance to pick up this game for cheap!
The Movies (PC) for $3.00 [EXPIRED]– The Movies was one of my favorite PC games when it came out a few years ago. Now GoGamer has it on sale for $3.00. This is a ridiculous deal. Seriously, this is the definition of a cheap game. If you like sim games or movies, this game will give you a lot of fun for the money. After all, that’s half the price of an actual movie ticket!
]]>Dragon Ball Z was brought to America by a company called Funimation. They were able to put it on Cartoon Network and that took anime from mostly import VHS and DVD sales to a mainstream audience of young adults who still like cartoons, but are looking for a more mature story. Dragon Ball Z fit the mold perfectly with lots of action, great fight scenes, and a series of world at stake plots that made for a very engaging show.
Over the years the Dragon Ball Z series, which was actually the second series of the Dragon Ball saga, released the entire series on DVD as well as released many movies that fit to varying degrees into the DBZ storyline.
Dragon Ball Z Season 1 – Vegeta Saga
Season one of Dragon Ball Z focused on Goku (the hero) and his fight to stop the Saiyans’ attempt to destroy the world. Goku and his friends fight a Saiyan named Raditz and defeat him, only to find that two other Saiyans that were much more powerful were also coming to destroy Earth. In season one we meet most of the main characters that last the rest of the series: Goku, Piccolo, Gohan, Vegetta, Krillin and the rest of the gang.
The whole first season is available on a 6 disc DVD set for under $30 on Buy.com. It’s a pretty great deal actually. You can also rent the entire first season of DBZ on Netflix for less than $10 a month.
