This year’s gaming season, like every year, is ridiculous. Multiplatform owners and multifaceted gamers like myself have it the worst. So what do you do to satiate this desire to play everything? Do you wait it out? No, that’s crazy talk.

I seek deals and I’d just like to share some tips and some other deals for the remaining holiday titles worth checking out. So let’s take a look at some of the money saving requirements you need in order to maximize your dollars.

Update: LittleBigPlanet could be found for $54.99. Fable 2 could be found for $49.99.

With the holiday gaming rush imminent, it’s time to either weed out the non-essentials or search for deals. I’ve done the latter and discovered this little gem:

Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) - $43.99 CAD (After new account coupon code)
Search Fallout 3: http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?…&Go.x=0&Go.y=0
Use new account code: MAPNEWNCSAVE or MAPBIZNCSAVE

Not all titles have been reduced to $53.99 CAD, but you can use the $10 off coupon on anything you wish. Just as long as you use a new account.

If a K-Mart ad from the U.S. is to be believed, then we’re going to be receiving a $50 USD price cut for the Premium SKU of the Xbox 360. A solid cut which will set the new price at $299.99 USD. It will certainly rake in some sales.

No word for Canada yet.

Lots of people are upset over this Metal Gear Online registration. Me? I’m a patient fellow. The page times out, spits out plenty of errors and bores me with its long load times, but I keep on trucking. Gameplay starts in three days and fortunately for me, I finally registered after two days of on and off trying. Konami was terribly annoying when it came to username and password creation though.

 Just check this shit out:

So I’m sitting at work on another ho hum day at work when I receive a delightfully surprising email from my friend No_Style who cites an interesting tidbit of information he probably found on the Gaf.  Little did I know at this point that I was about to embark on a mission that would raise the interesting bar of my day ten fold.

Just a reminder to you all to grab your free copy of Undertow from the XBOX Live! Arcade. You will have until Sunday, January 27th 11:59 PST. Don’t say I didn’t remind you.

Rumors on the net are claiming that the XBOX 360 and the PLAYSTATION 3 will be $299 sometime within the first half of this year. While the XBOX 360 already has a SKU lower than $299 USD, this particular rumor was aimed at squarely on the only SKU people should care about: the Premium. The price cut is supposed to come just in time for Grand Theft Auto IV’s launch. It’s a smart move which will certainly grab headlines and sales, but until Microsoft actions such a move, I would not hold my breath.

As for the PS3’s $299 price cut, it may actually come as early as January 28th, 2008. Some posters from Slickdeals.net (via CAG) were claiming to have heard rumors about a $100 price drop for the 40 GB PS3. I see no reason for a price drop unless either A) January 28th is the day HD-DVD officially folds up or B) Sony feels like being nice since they’re PS3s cost only $400 to manufacture now. I doubt it’s either of them.

Update: FOX removed the promotion. I only got 800 points. :(

The one stop place for all things Boxing Day is RedFlagDeals. This site is seriously awesome and a treasure trove of money saving deals. So instead of regurgitating what they have posted, I am going to highlight some items of interest. Keep this page bookmarked!
