Will I be tuning in for the deals? Here and there. If I see anything interesting, I'll make a post on this news story, so everyone will be able to see it, in case they forget.

Our Take

So, let's use this comment for a beginning round-up.

The first deal is a Kinect/360 4GB bundle with a $100 Amazon Promotional Credit. That's the gold box deal of the day.

The first lightning deal is a fitness title. My guess? Zumba fitness on the Wii. It starts 9:00 am EST.

Second: Banana-based puzzles with "manic-action" gameplay. Super Monkey Ball? Donkey Kong? Likely the former. 11:00 am EST

Third: Ten-year franchise with 7th game on 360 and PS3. Probably Dynasty Warriors 7. 1:00 pm EST

Fourth: Probably Harry Potter Lego, but could be another HP title. 3:00 pm EST

Fifth: Hasbro Family Game Night something-or-other. 5:00 pm EST.

Sixth: Headphones or a sound-system built for gaming. 7:00 pm EST.

Seventh: "Latest iteration of a storied fighter franchise." I'd guess Marvel vs. Capcom 3, given the timing. Could be Blazblue Continuum Shift, but that doesn't seem storied. Also possible is Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, but that hasn't hit retail release yet. 9:00 pm EST.

Eighth:: DS classic puzzle title. 11:00 pm EST.

You can edit your posts by double-clicking them. The more you know!

But yeah, I'm pretty disappointed. The 360 deal would also be better if it weren't the 4GB version. That's just very unfortunate. To get a decent hard drive, you'd have to spend almost all of the Amazon credit!
