At&t and Samsung have a new Windows Phone ad you might have already seen but, if not you can see it right now, below. They’re advertising the Samsung Focus for $99.99. That’s a great price for a great phone but a RIDICULOUS price would be $0.01!!
That’s right, AmazonWireless has the Samsung Focus for one cent, at the moment, along with a few other great Windows phones on At&t. This is not just $0.01 for New AT&T customers but New and Existing customers, individual plans or family plans as well, but HURRY… there’s no telling when AmazonWireless will pull this deal!!

I just got word from my contact that the Microsoft Store in the South Coast Plaza will be celebrating their grand opening on Thursday, March 24th, 2011. This is great news since I recently scored a few gift cards from the recent promotion from the Microsoft Store by recycling a few old cell phones. I hope they have some great door busters to use them on.
We have been following this opening since October of last year, so we’re looking forward to finally celebrating the grand opening. Below are all the happenings if you’re in the area and are able to join in the celebration:

If you have ilomilo for the Windows Phone 7, you’ll be happy to know that a FREE title update was released today and is now ready to download. This was a nice surprise and is always welcomed. The only bummer is, no new achievements to get and no word on a title update for the Xbox 360 version of ilomilo but still nice to see a FREE update now and again.
The title update includes:
The story of ilo and milo continue through two new gorgeous worlds.
23 new levels of cubistic puzzles!
New eggs to find in order to unlock two new challenging bonus levels!
New brain teasing cubes!
If you liked the first story of ilomilo, you no doubt will like the second with new brain teasing cubs.
To get the update, the ilomilo development blog says the update will download automatically when the game is started but I and many others never received it this way. I was able to get it by heading to the Marketplace on the WP7 and search for ilomilo. After choosing ilomilo, it gave me the choice to update. Done!
So head on over to the Marketplace to grab the update or stick around a little longer and watched the trailer they provided for this here cubistic update.
A few days ago we posted a nice little deal Newegg.com was having, offering $10 off the $59.99 price for Crysis 2 making it $49.99 shipped. Well Amazon now has a similar deal and somewhat better if you don’t mind the $10 promotional credit. Amazon has Crysis 2 (Xbox 360, PS3) for $57.99 with a $10 credit, making it $47.99 if you count the credit off the top. You probably already have $10 or even $20 in credit burning a digital hole in your monitor just waiting for this deal. Pre-order Crysis 2 NOW and if Amazon betters the deal, you automatically get upgraded.
Crysis 2 is due to drop on March 22, 2011. If you’re thinking of picking it up, today would be the perfect day to pre-order it while Newegg.com is offering $10 OFF!
This is no $10 credit to use on a future purchase. Not a $10 gift card that you might end up loosing. Just a straight up $10 off the price, dropping it down to $49.99.
You’ll need to HURRY though, this deal is lasting for 48 HOURS ONLY… and it started already! Deal expires at 11:59PM PST on Sunday, 2/20/2011!
To take advantage of this deal, choose either Xbox 360, PS3 or PC and at checkout enter the promo code found below. Done!

LASER CANNON: This miniaturised spaceship cannon is the most powerful portable weapon available to infantry soldiers under Joint Space Operations Command.

Playing as an ODST was a nice change and firefight was a great added bonus even though it was lacking multiplayer. You still can play firefight with your friend, we had a blast playing and at $14, you too can as well.
If you and a few friends want to go in on a few copies and Buy.com is charging you TAX, Amazon could be a little better deal since they are running the Buy One, Get One 50% Off. Either way, pick up a copy today before this extremely hot deal is gone.
UPDATE:SOLD OUT! Now being offered by a third party and Fulfilled by Amazon for an even lower price of $8.92, but no longer with free shipping. Still a great deal! Also eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25. Back to $8.99 with FREE SHIPPING!!
If you’re one of the few that hasn’t played Red Dead Redemption, you have no excuse now! GameStop of all places has a deal impossible to pass up on. Only $19.98 + Tax! Not only that, you also get a filler game with it to play or give to the dog to chew on. This deal will be gone before you know it so we’ll get on with the deal.
Head to GameStop and add Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360 or PS3) for $29.99. Be sure it’s a brand new copy. Then you will want to add a filler, a brand new game you can find for $4.99 or more if you choose.
Once you have both NEW games in your cart, you’re ready to apply the coupon 2SAVE15 or SAVER to drop your total down to $19.98 + tax with FREE SHIPPING!!
Here’s some filler games if you can’t find anything to add:
UPDATE: I pulled the trigger even though I had the game at one point.
Looks as though there is a glitch in their system. The coupon reads: 2SAVE15 - Buy 2 in-stock games priced $39.99 or more, and save $15 off your order total. May not be combined with other offers.
As you can see from my order below, I did not spend $39.99 or more. Let’s hope the orders get fulfilled.
UPDATE 2: Deal is DEAD! Looks like GameStop fixed the glitch in their system and put a stop to the deal. Hope a few were able to take advantage of it while it lasted.
