Year end deals from Newegg

Newegg posted their year-end clearance sale today. There’s a lot of stuff on there, so let’s highlight some of the good stuff.

In gaming we have the God of War collection (God of War I & II) repackaged for the PS3, for only $15.99. If you’ve never played them this is a a great way to do it.

There’s also LittleBigPlanet for $15.99, which is one of the must-play titles for any PS3 owner.

If you have a Wii, having one of these is priceless. At $15, it’s a necessity.

If you want to build a new AMD FX system, this GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 board is a good buy at $149.99.

OCZ Vertex 3 (which we recently reviewed) is going for $189.99 for 120gb. Niiiiice.

There’s a bunch of other stuff on the list, but these were the ones that jumped out at me. Enjoy!

OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $169.99
Wonder if you could get them to honor the 169.99 being advertised?
27 Dec 2011 ~ 9:14am boasist It's $169 after rebate, so you'll get that price if you stand on one leg, while chewing gum, and doing the hokey pokey. Because only then will a rebate be accepted and processed.....
27 Dec 2011 ~ 9:17am RyanFodder Ah, I didn't read far enough. I really hate rebates.

As an aside, playing BF3 with and without an SSD makes a HUGE difference. Load times for a map go from 30 seconds to 1-2 minutes. Highly recommend this purchase.
27 Dec 2011 ~ 1:37pm primesuspect I specifically left out the rebate price, because fuck mail-in rebates. It's just about 2012. MIR needs to die in a fire as a backwards throwback to the 90s when enticing people to online sales was important. We've advanced, and I hope companies who do the MIR thing (ahem OCZ) figure out that it is almost universally hated.
