Amazon's Prime-members-only, "better than Black Friday" sale, really isn't.
In fact, it doesn't look much different than any other day of lightning deals and the odd mix of discounts that typically crowd the online retailer's front page.

That said, there are a few things you might want to look into if you're in the market. Keep in mind, the sale prices are only for Prime members. The good news is that you can try out Prime for free for 30 days, and still get these few deals.

Keep in mind, some of the deals below are timed and have a limited supply. It's also worth pointing out that two new gaming deals popped up in the middle of my time digging through the sales. So, feel free to drop any big deals I missed down in comments.
Happy hunting!

 

On the same day that Amazon launched it sale for Prime members, Walmart launched a video game-filled sale that doesn't require membership dues.
The Rollback sale includes video games and related peripherals, a selection of which you can see below.

For the rest of the deals, including collectible Pokémon figures and accessories like charging cables, you can check out Walmart's website.

Rent those games from Gamefly, nake sure they work, then buy em. Final Fantasy Type 0 is $16.99. Im buying that to get the FF15 demo mostly.And I just earned another $5 coupon.
 
Which is newest FF?

Type 0 was one of the 3 FF13 games (13, Versus, Agito) Agito became Type 0, Versus became 15. So technically 13 (and its sequels) is the latest and 14 is an MMO. And yes I know that makes no sense. :lol:

snoop.0.0.jpg


Snoop Dogg is leading a campaign to get NCAA Football 14, the last edition of the canceled college football series, made backward compatible for Xbox One, but that may take some doing.


Last night, Snoop hit Instagram with a screenshot of the vote total for EA Sports' game, telling his followers that "We need. 10000 votes." NCAA Football 14 had 4,670 votes at the time and now has more than 5,700, an impressive 24-hour jump, but there may be more to this than Snoop realizes.


(Snoop is a well known partisan of the USC Trojans. At E3 2011, I watched him play USC against an EA Sports producer using Oregon, and he whooped Snoop's ass like it was a joke.)


Microsoft opened a poll shortly after backward compatibility for Xbox One was announced at E3 2015, and asked gamers to vote for the Xbox 360 game they most want to see playable on Xbox One. NCAA Football 14 is currently in 122nd place. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Red Dead Redemption and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim are the top 3, each with more than 70,000 votes.


NCAA Football 14 was, of course, licensed by the NCAA, more than 120 universities, and dozens of conferences, bowl games and other brands associated with college football. It's unclear whether all of those agreements would allow EA Sports to adapt the game for play on another console.


This morning we asked representatives of the label whether any licensed game in its back catalog, college football or otherwise, could be made backward compatible for Xbox One. We've yet to hear back.


NCAA Football 14 and its two predecessors are still for sale on the Xbox Marketplace, along with the latest game's downloadable content, but support for NCAA 14's Ultimate Team mode was turned off sometime before the fall of 2014, indicating that at least that agreement with the NFL Players' Association has expired.


EA Sports is extremely reluctant to comment on NCAA Football for any reason, in light of the $60 million settlement it and the NCAA reached with former players to end a lawsuit they brought over the unauthorized use of their likenesses in the long-running series. The settlement terms were recently approved by a judge, and payments will begin soon.


Though the universities' names, symbols, uniforms and other trademarks were paid for and used with permission, the NCAA Football series' roster was based on real-world performers, albeit with their names stripped out. EA Sports and the Collegiate Licensing Company, the clearinghouse that set the royalty terms and distributed payments to all schools represented in the game, were sued over this practice.


Backward compatibility on Xbox One is handled on a game-by-game basis. To make an Xbox 360 game compatible with Xbox One, the developer must prepare the original for play on the new console. Then, a digital version will be available on the Xbox Marketplace for Xbox One. Anyone with a physical edition of the game may download that file for free, but their disc must be in the drive for it to be playable.


Backward compatibility already is available for those enrolled in the closed Xbox Preview program. It will become available to the general public by this holiday season, with about 20 games — including Mass Effect and Banjo-Kazooie — already scheduled for availability.
