The GCU deals are in full effect with some of 2016’s biggest names and Triple AAA titles including Gears of War 4, ReCore, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and much more! While most of the selection is unlikely to gain Rarity or High Resale Value, it’s a gamers’ oasis if you’re looking to sample 2016’s newest video game releases.

If you’re an XBOX One owner looking for an opportunity to try out the new Dead Rising 4,the time is now. As Best Buy’s GCU discount brings the game down to $31.99, quite a deal considering it was only just released on December 6th, 2016.

PC owners will be pleased with Amazon’s deal on the Steam link for just $19.99. That’s 30 dollars off the MSRP price (60% off!). This piece of tech allows you to stream your PC games to your TV. You can take the PC gaming experience out of the chair and into a comfy couch in a matter of seconds.

Gamers Club Unlocked 2-year Membership – My Best Buy [online Activation]

When it comes to GCU discounts, they lead the pack for Video Game Deals today setting the stage with quality discounts on some games that competitors simply don’t currently have in stock. If the goal is simply get a game in new/sealed condition without a reseller involved at a good price they’re your best bet today.

Live Game Deals Tip of the Day:

At Live Game Deals we point out general trends and it seems this season’s worth of titles plummeted in price rather quickly, even the collector’s editions. There’s been no The Last of Us post-pandemic style collector’s edition that soared in price on Ebay after release.

Even the new Final Fantasy XV has seen sale prices early ($39.99 right now on Amazon). The competition is trending upwards in entertainment and if you’re looking for a safe investment as collecting goes, there isn’t one this holiday season. Nintendo titles are most likely to retain value or have upwards mobility in the resale market but reprints are becoming more and more common.

Companies have long smartened up to the Day One, Collector’s Edition, Limited Edition market and will short supply at release temporarily. Be on the lookout before paying full MSRP price, there could be a video game deal weeks or even days away from your fingertips.

Be sure to check out daily Video Game Deals for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, 3DS, Vita, Steam, and much more on the Video Game Deals category page. There’s coverage for both physical and digital releases as well as focus on the coveted Collector’s Editions!
