It seems like these Amazon Gold Box deals happen every other week with the Wii. That’s what happens when you have the market leading console and portable, I suppose. Anyway, it begins Friday at midnight Pacific time with the main deal, and then seven lightning deals follow thereafter.
On Friday, Sept. 19, 2008, eight Wii video games will be featured as the top eight deals in the Amazon.com Gold Box. The identities of each deal will be revealed one at a time.
Here’s how it will work: The first deal will be the Gold Box Deal of the Day. Its special discounted price will be available all day (or until we run out) on Friday, Sept. 19.
A series of seven Lightning Deals will then kick off at 6:00 AM PST. Each deal will be featured for a limited-time throughout the day until they are sold-out or until the next Lightning Deal begins. Learn more about Gold Box Deals in our Help section.
It’s sure to have a few clunkers, as always, but there may be a few gems too. Keep an eye out!
Actually the last all Nintendo day was over a month ago (perhaps even a bit longer). Since then Amazon has had both an all PS3 day, and an all XBox360 day. Also, there are usually more Sony and Microsoft deals on the Gold sales then there are Wii sales (believe me, I check every day).
So I’m glad to see that Amazon is finally doing all Nintendo again.
I don’t like to sleep much, so I’ll be checking at 2:00 A.M. (Central time) tomorrow morning to see what is being offered.
Also, you can see what games are going to be offered (but not the discount prices) at http://www.zapdeals.com at about 2:10 in the morning (Central time), it usually takes about 10 minutes after the deal of the day begins for zapdeals to list what is going to be offered.
Yup, what Joshdad said.
I hope they have a pre-order for Wario Land,I’ll be spending my money on de Blob and won’t be able to get Wario for a while.
I’m hoping for a great deal on Blom Blox, though I have so little time to play games as it is already.
@XCWarrior – Don’t buy Boom Blox.It’s fun but it lasts a few days.
Well I figured with my girlfriend it would help make it last longer. And I’m obsessed with trying to do better on things. I hear that is how it hooks you. And if I only get 10-15 hours out of it, and I only pay $20 vs $50, I would feel a lot better about my purchase.
Sorry, no wario Land, and no bloom box, here are the games being offered:
all day – Pinball hall of fame – 13.98 (usually 29.99)
8 a.m. (central) – Rayman raving rabbids 2 – 19.99 (usually 39.99) – it’s going really fast.
12 p.m. (cental) – No more heroes
1 p.m. (central) – Mercury Meltdown revolution
2 p.m. (central) – My word coach
3 p.m. (central) – Ferrari Challenge
5 p.m. (central) – Fishing master
8 p.m. (central) – Little League World Series 08
Prices won’t be listed until the sale actually starts.
Well, the only one that really jumps out at me is Rayman Raving Rabbids 2.
