Whenever it comes time for me to spend far too much time looking on the Internet for game deals, I'm forced to invent diversions to amuse myself. This year, I'm going with Which System Seems To Have the Most/Best Games Discounted for its platform faithful. It's not exactly science, nor important in the grand scheme of things, but it is a great way for me to hook people up with games actually worth buying. Because that is very much my deal.
That being said, let me just present you some great savings instead of sitting here and talking about them in the abstract. Here's the actual list, plus my quick thoughts on everything included within it. Do be quick because the prices and stock will not last.

PlayStation or Xbox could regroup overnight and dish out some discounts, at which point I'll have to reevaluate this bargains battlefield. Let's see how we go there, and in the meantime you can check out my full Prime Deals list here.
