Hardware
360 console update: Best Buy has the Elite with free Madden NFL and an extra controller ($76 bonus value, ends this Sat. 1/30), Buy.com's Elite plus a $50 gift card deal ends Sunday, and the Arcade is $179 at Amazon. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/xbox-360)]
The PSPGo can be had for $40 off - $209.99 - through NewEgg. Available in pearl white. [TechDealDigger (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/PSP Go for $209.99 with Free Shipping at Newegg http://www.techdealdigger.com/pr/cheap-psp-go-pearl-white-deals/2908)]
Software
The Beatles: Rock Band Premium Bundles, which include a Hφfner Bass controller and Beatles branded drums, launched at a premium price of $249.99 in September. Now you shouldn't pay more than $200. Best deal is Amazon: $179.99, free shipping through Feb. 28. PS3 and 360 only, folks. The Wii version is scarce and pulling up to $300 on eBay. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/the-beatles-rock-band-limited-edition-premium-bundle-ps3-and-xbox-360)]
Deanbmmv (http://kotaku.com/people/deanbmmv/) passes along this U.K. special: Dragon Age: Origins (PS3 and 360 versions) is £19 (regularly £40) through Grainger Games. (http://www.graingergames.co.uk/default.asp?gg=PN503) Price is good in-store or online.
Darksiders (Xbox 360) is $42.99 shipped from Amazon and Newegg. $57 and up elsewhere. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/darksiders-xbox-360)]
Steam's sale this weekend is banana republic simulator Tropico 3, for $13.60. It's normally $40. [Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/23490/)]
Direct2Drive is offering Red Faction: Guerrilla for $4.95, which is 75 percent off. [Cheap Ass Gamer (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=1808)]
If you prefer more teamwork than the U.S. military advertises, Amazon has the new Army of Two: The 40th Day (PS3, 360) for $44.99 plus free shipping. Next best is $53 shipped from Best Buy. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/army-of-two-the-40th-day)]
Curious combo of PS3 games popped up on Amazon. NBA Live 09, The Bigs and The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian can all be had for $19.99. Upside is it's $15 less than these games bought separately ($35.05); downside is Amazon's motive probably has something to do with no one buying these games since they came out in '07 and '08. [Dealzon (http://dealzon.com/deals/nba-live-09-the-bigs-the-chronicles-of-narnia-prince-caspian-ps3)]
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.
