Deals that Got Away

It's been one of those weekends with lots of travel, driving, stress and to top it off I missed out on a number of great gaming deals.  Let's pour a cup of your favorite beverage and go through the list.

Fall Update

So it's been a bit since I posted, ok, more like four months since anything substantial.  I've been very busy with the new house, work and ramping up for the holidays, but thought I would slam some gaming updates into a single post before the end of the year.

Here we go..

$10 off Pre-Orders at NewEgg ends 9/20!

I'm busy as always and have been on vacation, but real quick NewEgg.com is running a game pre-order special of $10 off anything $39.99 and up through 9/20.  Details:

August Game Acquisitions

I suppose August isn't over yet so there could be more purchases to add to my backlog with no intention to finish.  You'd think it was a theme around here or something....  Besides my NSMB pre-order, I just picked up three more games last week.  Without further delay hit the jump for more details:

Club Nintendo Elite Gifts

Time is about to run out on the Club Nintendo gifts, have you claimed yours or are you an incomplete slacker like me?  I have until 8/6 and am honestly underwhelmed by the selection, but suppose I should choose something.  What to do?

The Damage: Steam Summer Sale 2012

I've been rather busy (more on that later) and haven't posted anything on the recent Steam mega sale.  Though there has been some great coverage over at DigitallyDownloaded.net which I recommend you check out.  (especially surviving a steam sale)

I had no intentions of buying this sale (considering my PC malfunctions - new one on the way), but as usual I couldn't resist and am not sure I made the best use of my money.  DAMN YOU STEAM!!

Without further adieu, let's check out the damage:

New Trailer - New Super Mario Bros 2

A new 'New SMB2' trailer was uploaded to YouTube today.  Overall the website and information we've seen has basically stayed the same, though several items were new to me.  Catch the video after the break for more details:
