80′s Arcade hits now on sale at Amazon

If you are in the US and want to pick up some old school 80’s Xbox LIVE Arcade titles on the cheap, head over to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace section of Amazon for some pretty good deals.

  • acsofspades

    Thanks for the heads up Major.

  • Alphos

    Here’s a deal NOT from Microsoft:

    Bionic Commando: Rearmed will be 400 points on May 25th!

    Apparently in Europe it’s already dropped to that right now.

    Now THAT’S a deal!

    Picked up TMNT at the discounted price. Also can’t wait for the Bionic Commando sale.

  • sashimix

    Wow, definitely going to pick up Bionic Commando Rearmed for 400 MS Points. :)

  • ItsNymo

    Picked up TMNT this morning as soon as I saw a tip on CheapAssGamer.com…

    Thanks for spreading the word, Major!

    Hey, not bad. I picked up Joust, and there are a few others I’d have bought if I didn’t already own them. Thanks for letting us know about this. I would have completely missed it if not for your post, Major Nelson.

    I hate all you cheap b@stards. I hope you guys implode from all of your frugal actions.

  • IconicSoulJA

    @CARNAGE RULES That’s sad since we are in an economic recession. I’d think I would be in your best interest to look/wait for deals.

  • TaygetaVendetta

    @Major Mask – agreed.

    Picked up Ms. Pacman. One can never have enough Pacman.

  • PriusGuy2004

    The prices appear to be changing by the hour on Amazon.com. “Dig Dug”, “Gauntlet”, and “Joust” were $2.96, but they are now back at $5.

    Major: Might want to fix that spelling mistake in the word “LIVE” of “Xbox LVE Marketplace section of Amazon” in your posting.

  • hied

    Thanks for the heads up. That $2 reduction was just enough to get me to buy Joust again.

    There are also some great arcade game deals out there on collection discs. Just got Namco Museum Virtual Arcade (Amazon: $20) and Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged (Amazon: $10!).

  • Sneeches

    bionic commando rearmed went on sale last week on the PSN, looks like xbox live is going to copy…

    Anyways these amazon deals need to come to amazon.ca as well…Canadians/Europeans always get left out..fucken US!!!!

  • MADEIRA STEVE88

    Why don’t just do this on the marketplace itself, only USA take advantage of this service.

  • Exu

    Cool, now make these prices permanent worldwide and it might not be such a pointless exercise.

  • Doctor Seleski

    I checked first thing yesterday and again today. Both times the pricing was $5. Am I missing something? Was this only good on Sunday?
