Video Game Deal at Amazon

I know several people picked up new video game controllers over the holidays (my brother finally got a PS3, for example), so I wanted to let you know about this deal at Amazon, as well as an updated version of one of my favorite WII games, Rabbids Go Home ($27.99), which is today's game of the day (so the price is only good thru midnight PDT).

Game Description

• In true Raving Rabbids fashion, soup up your shopping cart with a Jet Ski, an airplane reactor, or a hospital Bubble Bed to wreak endless havoc everywhere.
• In the Rabbid's first comedy adventure control two Raving Rabbids and their shopping cart as you collect everything is sight to build a junk pile high enough to reach the moon.
• Make a huge mess and provoke hilarious situations in over 15 striking game environments. The greater the mess the more in-game opportunities you will have.
• Race, chase, boost through 40+ missions while scaring the Humans right down to their undies, literally! Ridicule reams of relentless enemies and their nasty pooches in an increasingly paranoid world of Rabbid-haters.
• Encounter a cast of colorful, oddball characters and explore a remarkable parody of the modern world as if you were living inside an interactive cartoon.

The rest of the Video Games they are running isn't one that runs out today (but soon - tomorrow) and can be combined with today's Game of the Day if you want. If you spend $80 or more on video games, in a single purchase, you'll get a $20 promotional credit to use for a later purchase. There is a link for qualifying games, but there seem to be hundreds and choices for every gaming console out there. There are a few restrictions, the biggest of which is that only purchases from Amazon.com as the seller and made between 3:30pm Pacific time December 28, 2009 and 11:59pm Pacific time January 2, 2010 will qualify for this promotion. Accessories don't qualify, but it seems you can mix and match games for different consoles, so long as you get to the magical $80 total and once you get the credit, you can use it on any video game, not just a restricted list.

Looking through the lists, it seems that most games have at least a small discount, some more than others. I saw a great deal on Your Shape at $49.99 ($20 off) and The Biggest Loser is $34.99. I've played both recently and you can get a good workout with either one (the former is a bit more intense, but also seems to require more room, as your entire body must be seen by the camera for it to register movements. I actually have EA Sports Active: More Workouts $35.99 on order right now, or I'd add that to my order so that I can get the credit. I am considering Active Life: Extreme Challenge at $46.98, but that still leaves me about $10 short ... excuse me while I go shopping for a while....
