For those of you who are looking to buy Madden 09 on day 1, rather than wait till the game inadvertently drops to $20 around the same time next year, can save a little money with this deal. Pre-order the game by July 13th at NFLShop.com, apply the coupon code NFLEXTRA25 for 25% off, and get the game for $44.99 + $4.99 shipping = $49.98. The game will retail for $59.99 when it debuts, so you'll be saving $10 and potentially sales tax. Unfortunately, those in California, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania will have to pay sales tax. Take advantage of this deal here.

How do you fancy getting your hands on two of this year's best games (so far, at least) for peanuts? One of our readers has sent in links to a couple of sites which are doing excellent deals on Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4. Play your cards right and you can grab both for fifty quid. Not too shabby, we're sure you agree.

Devil May Cry 4 is up for £20 at play.com and MGS4 can be found for £30 at shopto.net. If you've missed out on either of these gems, then shame on you. Take advantage of these great offers and put that right.

[Thanks Mike_N]

Sure, the PS3 version of The Orange Box has some issues. But when you realize that you're getting five excellent games for only $32, a few framerate hiccups seem like nothing. The Orange Box dropped down to $40 recently, but amazon.com is currently selling the game for only $32. If you haven't tried Portal yet, there really is no excuse.

Here's an incredible deal on an incredible game: Metal Gear Solid 4 for $39.99. Unfortunately, it has two major restrictions. First, this must be purchased in-store so you must be in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, or Ohio and close to a Meijer. Secondly, this deal only lasts up till tomorrow, the 5th. Considering today is July 4th, the only chance you'll be able to get this deal is July 5th. Fortunately, if you live in these states you are most likely not far from a Meijer and some of them are open 24 hours. At this price, Midwesterners now have zero excuse for not having this certified triple-A title.

Looking to rock out with an extra wireless controller for Guitar Hero III? Look no further than this deal. The official Guitar Hero III Les Paul wireless guitar controller for the PS3 shipped to your door for $35.24. Retail is $59.99 but some like Best Buy are asking for $69.99. And remember, this will not work with Rock Band. We are not sure how long this deal will last, so act fast.

Those of who were hesitating about Assassin's Creed may want to take a plunge with this deal, which takes 50% off the retail price of the game and includes free shipping. A look around shows the PS3 version of the game is still retailing for around $60 at online retailers. We've had the exact same deal before, so those of you who cursed the heavens when you missed it the first time around is getting a second chance.

Buzz! Quiz TV is almost out in Europe and, thanks to the 2.40 firmware update, you now have even more incentive to pick it up. The game supports trophies out of the box, according to the various 2.40 press releases, though we've checked our review copy and there don't seem to be any attached right now. No doubt this will be solved with a patch by the time the game is available this Friday. We've contacted Sony to try and confirm this.

If you're after Buzz! Quiz TV and don't quite feel like spending the price of a full game for it, Amazon UK have a pre-order price of £32.98. With the wireless buzzers themselves selling for 30 quid, you'll be picking up the game for less than 3 pounds. Not bad at all. Also, if you're an Amazon Prime member (or if you sign up for their one-month free trial) you can get it delivered to your door on Friday morning for no extra dosh. Bargain!

GoGamer.com is offering the rumble-ready DualShock 3 controller for 25% off its retail price. You can snag one for $41.49, a pretty sizable discount from its $55 MSRP. Games, like Metal Gear Solid 4, just feel so much better with rumble. Whatever it takes, make sure you try to snag one.

We'd have to admit, these controllers by Nyko are rather unfortunate looking. However, if you want a spare controller around in case a friend you don't like so much comes over, you can't beat these.

The controller isn't without its merits; it is cheap, it includes a both a rechargeable battery and a AA battery pack if you don't wait for the controller to charge, it also claims to have "Six-Direction Tilt & Vibration." Keep in mind, though the controller is wireless, it isn't Bluetooth. The color of the controller is also determined randomly. Did we mention it is ugly?

Have you picked up Gran Tursimo 5: Prologue yet? If not, this might be an enticing deal for you. Online retailer amazon.com is offering a free $15 gift card with the purchase of Polyphony's latest racing game. Considering it only retails for $40, that's a pretty sizable bonus. (Strangely, buying this online at amazon would make it cheaper than buying it online at the PLAYSTATION Store ...)

The gift card will be included in an email sent out by July 29th, after purchase.

Blu-ray sales are a bit more rare after the end of the format war, but there are still some hot deals to be found. Here is the latest offering from Best Buy: 2 for $25. Two of these films are this blogger's personal favorites - Dawn of the Dead and Total Recall. The Masters of Horror series is also worthy of a look, although the quality of each director's feature varies greatly. There is even a pre-order for a small gem of a Western that has yet to be released.

Keep in mind, however, this offer is only valid online.

GameFly's used games sale has some pretty enticing deals on PS3 games. Of most note is its sale price on Devil May Cry 4 -- only $20 when bought used! These games include the original boxes and manuals, free shipping and are guaranteed to work. The price on Unreal Tournament is an eye-opener as well.

We know some of our readers here are from Canada, so we're tossing this Canadian-only promotion out to you. Best Buy has a pretty sweet deal on $25 DualShock 3's -- that's a savings of more than 50 percent off. There is one catch though; you can only get the discounted price if you purchase a copy of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The total for the game and the controller would come out to about (we really mean aboot) $65, so that's roughly the same as any regular game without a controller. Definitely worth it if you've yet to own either Prologue or rumble for this gen.

Criterion's racing game has a number of updates planned for this year and beyond, and we approve. For those that haven't jumped into Paradise City, Walmart.com's price reduction on Burnout Paradise might warrant a purchase. For $40, you'll get all of Paradise City, access to the upcoming expansions, and an extra $20 to keep in your wallet. That's not too shabby!

Update: Looks like this was a universal price drop. Burnout Paradise is also $40 at amazon.com, Best Buy, buy.com, Circuit City, Gamestop.

Well, that didn't take too long, did it? Just a few weeks after the critics tore Haze apart, it's getting a discount at GameStop retailers. Originally $60, the Free Radical FPS is dropping down to $40, with the guide dropping down to just $10. Sale prices don't go into effect until next week, so we're certain you can restrain yourselves just a few days before rushing to GameStop in total excitement.

Update: Haze is already $40 at amazon.com

We kid you not. Dell is selling a 40GB PS3 system, with Resistance: Fall of Man and NBA 08 for only $280, plus tax. We don't know how long this deal will last, so we decided to put this up ASAP. Hopefully, by the time you read this, this deal will still be alive and well. G'luck!

Amazon's Gold Box deal prepares to steal your money once again today as it chops $20 off the price for one of the best PS3 games available, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. At $60 the game was a must-buy, but at $40 there's simply no excuse. If you haven't yet partaken in Drake's epic quest for the gold of El Dorado, then now's your chance to do so. If you need yet more persuading, check out our review of the game. This deal will only last until they are out of stock and there's no telling when that will be, so be sure to act swiftly.
