    Daily deals last for 48 hours—24 hours as a featured deal, then another 24 hours as a "in case you missed it" type offer.

    The problem is that only the base Skyrim game is on sale for $5; it doesn't include DLC. What you want is Skyrim Legendary Edition, which is on sale for $13.50 right now—which I didn't realize at the time I wrote my post. $13.50 for Skyrim and all the DLC is a great deal, so get that.

    Perfect. Appreciate the advice. So basically only go for daily deals/flash sales. Community Choices will likely go on sale again later.

    Community Choice games are discounted more than normal so it's worth getting them at that time. But remember that everything is on sale, it's just a matter of waiting to see if a bigger discount will apply via flash sale, Community Choice, daily deal, etc.

    Example: Final Fantasy VII is on sale right now for 40% off, but I'm going to wait and see if it becomes a CC or a flash sale. If it doesn't, I'll just get it for 40% off on the last day of the sale.

    Okay - that makes sense. Thanks for clearing it up. I appreciate it. Store is having trouble processing my order for Skyrim right now actually. I imagine people are just purchasing like no tomorrow right now.

    Just retry after 30 seconds or so and you should be OK.

    Anyone else have the Skyrim legendary edition? Bought it (finally) and it just shows up as the regular Skyrim in my library - not sure all of the DLC is included in this or not. Very odd.

    Right click on the game in your Steam list, select Properties. Go to the DLC tab. You should see all the DLC there (after downloading/installing the game.)

    While you download, take a moment to consider what mods you'll want to run. ENB is popular.

    Much appreciate your help. That mod looks very nice. Actually seems to bring the game to life - I saw there is also a Hi-Res download on steam as well, but I feel like this mod is a must just for the aesthetics. Not going to install any of the super ridiculous ones yet lol... hoping this causes me to finish Fallout New Vegas as well.

    Target: buy two select Wii U games, get a third free.

    Some very good choices here, like Mario Kart 8, Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, Assassin's Creed IV…

    Bought FTL, was on sale for $3.99. Watched a buddy of mine play it a few times on the iPad, was intrigued.

    Less than 1 hour left on the Steam sale. If you want something, get it now.

    If you got a Playstation, the $36 is a steal.

    Targets cartwheel app had a coupon good for 15% off any electronics/entertainment purchase today and tomorrow. Plus another 5% off that if you have a RED card.

    This is a great deal for consoles if you have been on the fence at all. I'm going to finally get a WiiU I think and take advantage of the free game with Mario Kart 8 offer before it expires on the 31st.

    Last week was the best time within recent memory, since either could be had for 15% off.

    I believe the PS4 for $360 offer is still on eBay. For now.

    It's a legitimate seller using an eBay storefront, not an eBay auction.

    I've bought things like high end headphones and PC components from these storefronts. They're fine.

    Someone posted an advanced ad (8/10 - 8/16) for Best Buy on Operation Sports.

    They are giving $25 towards Trade in for xbox one/PS4 Madden 25 and $15 for PS3/Xbox360. Also with the trade in they are giving a $10 coupon towards Madden 15.

    Essentially you can get Madden 15 for PS3/Xbox360 for $35 and for PS4/Xbox One for $25.


    EDIT: If you google image "Best Buy Ad 8-10" it's the 3rd picture that pops up.

    If you have Xbox Live Gold and an Xbox 360, be sure to download Dishonored before the 1st.

    That is all.

    In the market for a PS4 so if anyone sees or hears of anything (besides the Destiny bundle) I'd like to know about it. Thanks in advance.
