http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/05/mocoups.jpgRetail's harvest season is over, but that doesn't mean there aren't any more discounts and values to be had. There just aren't as many, that's all.
Hardware:
• Want a Wii? Don't pay full price. Dell Small Business has got it for $184. TechDealDigger notes that you will have to add it to your cart to see the discounted price, so don't freak out at first. Free shipping. [TechDealDigger (http://www.techdealdigger.com/pr/cheap-nintendo-wii-system-console-controller-wii-sports-deals/408)]
• If you've been itching for a fightstick, the Tekken 6 Limited Edition bundle, which includes its wireless stick, is $67 on Xbox 360 and $75 on PS3 through Amazon. Best deal found elsewhere is about $100. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/tekken-6-limited-edition-bundle-w-wireless-fight-stick-xbox-360)]
• There's also the official Street Fighter IV FightStick. Tournament edition is now $22 off - $99.99 - at Newegg, 360 or PS3. Or the standard edition - just for PS3 though - is $49 from Newegg as well as Amazon. Usually it's $77. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/street-fighter-iv-fightstick-tournament-edition)]
• I did scan the major retailers (Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Toys R Us) but it seems with the end of the holidays, they are all out of goodwill. If something different's going on with your store, please highlight it for us in the comments.
Software:
• Amazon's offer of a 12-month Gold Xbox Live subscription (http://kotaku.com/5440972/amazon-now-offering-cheap+o-xbox-live-subs) for $34.99 (regularly $49.99) is still good as of this writing. It's also got a 4,000 Microsoft points card up for $41.99. Usually it's $49.99. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/xbox-360-live-4000-points-card)]
• If that Amazon points deal goes away, check Dell, it's offering the same card for the same price. Or just go to Dell first. [TechDealDigger (http://www.techdealdigger.com/pr/cheap-xbox-360-live-4000-points-deals/2791)]
• GamersGate is holding a sale, and combining that with the download code GG-FACEBOOK FAN delivers 20 percent more savings. [Cheap Ass Gamer (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=1775)]
• Steam's big weekend sale is Serious Sam HD for $6.79 through Monday; normally it is $19.99. [Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/41000/)]
• Some special editions to consider. Although the MSRP on Batman: Arkham Asylum has dropped to $49.99, paying the launch price of $59.99 bags you the game plus a Batarang. Amazon's selling the collector's edition of the game for Xbox 360; the next best price out there is $87. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/batman-arkham-asylum-collector-s-edition-xbox-360)]
• And the Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 2, for PS3, is available through Walmart.com for $49. While this doesn't get you the infamous night vision goggles, it does deliver the game, art book, a "steel book with metallic finish," and the token for downloading Call of Duty Classic off PSN. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2-hardened-edition-ps3)]
• Amazon's stuck a $10 future game-order credit on preorders of Army of Two: The 40th Day. Commit to the game now and get 10 bucks toward your next game buy. It's $56.99 for 360 and PS3, $36.99 on the PSP. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/army-of-two-the-40th-day)]
As always, smart gamers can find values any day of the week, so if you've run across a deal, share it with us in the comments.
