Welcome to “Big Deal on the Internet” – our new weekly news post that will bring you the biggest gaming deals across the internet every Tuesday.
It’s powered by our friends at Dealzon, who search through all the tubes of the interwebs to find the best prices and coupons on all the gaming stuff you need, including the latest console titles, PC digital copies, Xbox LIVE discounts, console and PC hardware and accessories, and more.
We promise to only share deals from legitimate retailers that we’d use ourselves, so you’ll have to excuse our not listing every shady CD key web shop out there.
We work hard to provide current and accurate deals, but since prices and discounts can be fluid and often change without notice, please accept our apology in advance for the inevitable occasions when a deal expires or goes out of stock by the time you click it. And if you spot a good deal not listed, let us know in the comments and we’ll be sure to investigate!
And now we present…”Big Deal on the Internet”
This week we have the best deals on the brand new Black Ops 2 (Dell’s throwing in a $20 eGift Card) as well as four of today’s releases on PC. And if you’re one of the four people who hasn’t bought Halo 4 yet, Dell offers the $20 bonus on that game, too.
Also notable are XCOM Enemy Unknown PC download version at GMG for $12.50 less than Amazon and a half-price deal on Battlefield 3 Premium download.
In hardware, the MW3 edition Logitech G105 keyboard that just dropped to a new all-time low price ($55 cheaper than a year ago), and we have coupons for the new Lenovo Y series IdeaPads that can hold second GPU via swappable optical drive.
