Amazon's Gold Box to offer Wii discounts tomorrow

If the event follows previous Gold Box theme days, the first deal will be the Deal of the Day at midnight, which will last throughout the day or until stock runs out. Additional discounts will then be revealed every couple of hours, with a one-hour time limit and a constrained supply. Which means that, if you even have any cash left over from Black Friday, and you want some Wii stuff, you may have to hover around the computer tomorrow!

Maybe if we knew who won the last givaway, then I would know if I needed to buy some stuff tommorow or not. :o)
Unless I'm blind and I've missed the post about who won the latest giveaway.

If past Amazon Gold Box sales are any indication, there should be some really good games for sale tomorrow.

I'm hoping for okami on the cheap
brbarnhart @ Dec 3rd 2008 5:54PM
Oh man, you missed it. Okami was already a great deal all last week. $20. I picked up a copy.

Here are some clues Amazon gave for what might be on sale:
9am-11am: Remember the good ol' days?
11am1-1pm: Kind of like being a part of the Mickey Mouse club.
1pm-4pm: Who needs medical school?
4pm-5pm: No need to worry about avalanches.
5pm-6pm: Mario prefers it stirred, not shaken.
6pm-9pm: Now your Mii can boogie to the beat.
9pm-1am: You gotta get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game

After doing some googling, the 9pm - 1am has something to do with High School Musical, as the hint is part of the lyrics.
No clue what the 9-11 one is, but could the 11-1 possibly be Animal Crossing?

I thought you said 12AM PST. That was 4 minutes ago...
The first deal doesn't even start until 6AM PST.
Deozaan @ Dec 4th 2008 3:11AM
Well what do you know, while I was typing up all these comments I refreshed the Amazon goldbox page and now it has The Force Unleashed as the deal of the day. I stand corrected on the 12AM PST thing.
Deozaan @ Dec 4th 2008 3:08AM
@brbarnhart: How did you get Okami for $20? I looked on Black Friday and on the Cyber Monday deals and it was $30 and $35 respectively on those days.
Also Left 4 Dead was advertised on Joystiq as going for $20 on Amazon and it was $40 when I looked on Black Friday.
What's the deal with that? :-(

So the commenting system still doesn't reply properly AND it also never remembers our login info?
Great job Weblogs, Inc.! You really know how to suck!
Sonic_13 @ Dec 4th 2008 3:25AM
What doesn't work about it? You just click "Reply" and it posts a reply to whoever you are replying to.
Also, your web browser is at fault for not remembering your log in info, not this site.
Deozaan @ Dec 4th 2008 3:44AM
@Sonic_13: Yeah, it seems like it should work that way, but it doesn't.
Deozaan @ Dec 4th 2008 3:50AM
@Sonic_13: So what you're telling me is that the two most widely used browsers in the world (IE and Firefox) can handle cookies just fine on every single website except Weblogs, Inc. related sites?
That just goes to show how much the blog system made by Weblogs, Inc. really sucks. Even I can build a weblog that replies properly and remembers login details, and I am by no means an experienced programmer.

Check out 15 days, 15 deals. Outdoor Challenge is $40 instead of $60. We Love Golf is $20 instead of $40. There's other stuff too
