Sweet deals. Thanks for heads up. I guess they are trying to compete with GameStops summer deals.

BBY always e-mails me at 6:20 AM ET about their deals of the day. I don't know if their store updates at the same time, or if it updates at midnight, but you'll probably be guaranteed to know what the deal is by that time at least.

Is the game any good, though? Isn't it like a weird "race around the world" story where there is gun play and stuff, or was the commercial just deceiving to me? I guess it's worth $5 at least.

Also on the Best Buy front if you use the Coupon in this months Gamer Mag Kingdom of Amalur is only 10 bucks. I almost bought it when the MSRP dropped to 40 but only 10 makes it Deal of the Month (if not year) worthy.

Wow, I would totally get the game for that. I've been wanting it for a while too. I don't shop at Best Buy very regularly, so I'm not sure what their Gamer Mag is... cost money?

I think it costs $15 a year. Also gets you 10% extra on trade ins and 10% off used games.

I may have to do this today...been wanting Amalur, and I kinda like getting the gaming magazines every month when it's this cheap. Hmmm, thanks for the info.

Essentially this is like joining Gamestop's club and getting Game Informer free monthly...

Yeah site seems to usually update, still showing as $24.99 for me so guessing this one isn't legit or is it in store only maybe?

Well, it's for Tuesday's (tomorrow's) DotD, not today. Today has the Kinect sensor and an acoustic guitar with discounted prices.
