Amazon holding buy-one-get-one July 4th sale

We may not all be celebrating American Independence Day today, but we can all celebrate the ridiculous deals that have sprung up as a result.


Steam isn’t the only service doling out the deals today. Amazon is getting in on the capitalistic action by offering a BOGO deal on dozens of titles throughout their library.

Of course, there are a tons of stinkers in the list, but there’s also a lot of really good stuff too like Street Fighter IV, Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, Bayonetta, and Singularity.

Apparently the video gaming industry is testing our preparedness skills to see if we have the strategic wherewithal to store up on video games now while their cheap to last us through the game release desert that is the late Summer, early Fall months.

ehhh….why are you talking about Amazon.COM news here?
you do know VG24/7 represents UK gaming therefore we require news based for the Uk not for US.

its amazon.co.uk you should be reporting about

@1 please shut up. The only thing you ever contribute to this site are unfounded criticisms. There are plenty of Americans on this site, me being one of them. I wouldn’t come here for vg News if it were only news pertaining to the UK. Who are you to tell anyone how to run their site? If you are as dissatisfied as your posts say you are why do you continue to visit this site? I think you should fuck off.

Shut up, you stupid ass. The UK is not the only country in the world. I’m glad the reporters on this site aren’t ignorant pricks like you.

this is the problem with comment sections in this site since it’s riddled with arrogant trolls such as this. Was there a need for being rude?

please gtfo of this site and go troll on N4G “faggots”

this is why people don’t comment becuase they would get attacked by morons…no actually they would get attacked by American moronic assholes.

end.

Just to be sure you pay for the one that costs more, correct?

Dead easy solution to this. If the story had .com or .co.uk in it no one would have been bothered.

As a UK citizen, can I just say we’re not all cantankerous wankers like xino.

@xino, relax. It’s a gaming news site for everyone. For now, Amazon holding some sales for the US.

Yeah, anyone who has not played Majin, I recommend it. It was a lovely little gem.

I guess VG247 having US, German and Australian contributors on staff is a bit redundant then. Hell, why even report on E3, since that happens on American soil. Gamescom? Pfft, that’s in Germany. Let’s not even think about TGS in Japan. That’s not in the UK, either.

What a fucking idiot…
