In case you didn’t find what you were looking for, game wise, on Black Friday, there’s still one more chance. Today (December 1, 2008) is Cyber Monday, and GameStop/EB Games is having an exclusive online sale on some selected games and accessories. So if you get some spare time while at work today, you may want to pop by GameStop or EB’s website.

Now, the deals aren’t as varied and extensive as the sales happening on Black Friday 2008, but there are still some good buys. Plus, GameStop is offering free value shipping if your order is more than $25. PSP owners may want to check elsewhere for deals, as there isn’t a single PSP game on sale. There is a PSP mega accessory pack, but that’s hardly as thrilling as a game.

GameStop/EB Game’s Cyber Monday 2008 sales are as follows…

Amazon is doing a great job of turning me into an every day lurker because it just keeps surprising me with its unbelievable deals on video games. In what I assume is an ode to Cyber Monday, Amazon is currently offering some great role-playing games (including brand new releases and pre-roders) at rock-bottom prices. This means that in addition to taking advantage of these thrifty sales tags, shoppers will also save on sales tax and receive free shipping so long as the order totals $25 or more.

It’s hard to say how long these prices will stay up, so you had better act fast and take advantage of these bargain bin finds. It looks like RPG fans will be able to stuff themselves full of something else besides just turkey this holiday season…

In order to get buyers hyped up about Black Friday 2008, Amazon is holding special sales in the video games section leading up to the day. Today (November 19, 2008), the deal offers credits on future Amazon video game purchases when you buy two or three PC, PS3, Wii and/or Xbox 360 games directly from Amazon.

The deal is pretty simple. You select the boxes on the games you want. Once you’ve chosen two or three games, you click the “Add to Cart” button and make your purchase. If you buy two games, you will get a $25 credit on a future Amazon direct game purchase. If you buy three games, you get a $50 credit. You can only take Amazon up on this offer only once, and you can only buy one copy of each game you select.

The 20 titles offered (and their prices) aren’t exactly bargain bin cheap. Some are slightly discounted, but others are still full price. All of the games are recent releases and quality titles, so at least no shovelware is involved. So, the $25 or $50 credit might make it worthwhile for you.

The titles involved in the deal are…
