One of the first questions that people always ask critics about systems that have failed commercially, such as the Wii U, or the PlayStation Vita, is ‘would you buy it at…,’ taking the price lower and lower until they find a price point that said critic of the system would be comfortable buying the system at.

Well, your answers to those questions, critics- a lot of them will say something like ‘I would buy it at a hundred bucks or less,’ which of course would never be tested, because the system will never in its life cycle be offered at such an absurdly low price- are about to be tested, as UK retailer Tesco is offering the PlayStation Vita for, I shit you not, £49.99. No, that’s not a typo or a system glitch, that is actually the price. It’s the new, Vita 2000 Slim model, which means it does not have any 3G functionality (which you shouldn’t care about), but it also does not have any OLED screen (which you should care about).

As for why it is being offered for so cheap- well, it’s a fair assumption that at this point, they are just clearing shelf space. The Vita has been an absolute dud at retail, moving even less units than Wii U by this point, and while Sony’s influence with retailers thanks to the better performing PS3 and PS4 has bought it some time, it looks like that’s at an end.

Whatever the reason might be, you guys should probably jump on that. Persona 4 Golden alone makes that deal worth it.

If you have not picked up Deus Ex: Human Revolution, you should considering what an amazing game it is and how well it was reviewed.  Now happens to be the perfect time to get it too since Amazon.com is selling it for the Xbox 360 as well as the Playstation 3 for only $34.99.  All digital copies are $39.99 for some reason,… you would think they would be cheaper.  Anyway get while you can at such a low price now right here.

Getting ready for the Battlefield 3 release in October?  Well then I would assume you are playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2.  All Xbox Live Gold Members get 50% off literally every piece of Bad Company 2 DLC there is from the VIP Pass to, Vietname Pack,  to Onslaught Mode, Shortcut Class Packs, Themes.. you name it.  It ends on September 13th so you better hurry if you want any of it.  Get to it right here to purchase and queue it up for download so you don’t miss it, (also available on you Xbox obviously).

As you well know the OnLive Gaming service lets you play good games, that require high PC specifications, with out the high PC specification.  I don’t know how they do it but everything runs smoothly and looks great.  The Memorial Weekend Sale ends today at midnight, with up to 75% off games and all sorts of deals.  Head there now to take a look.

Here is the latest developer diary, trailer, whatever you would like to call it, for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.  The trailer goes in depth on how the combat system will work and shows off some gore for your pleasure. The game will be out this August for the Playstation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

In addition to that if you pre-order the game through the OnLive service which is basically software that lets you play good PC games on crappy computers, you will get the micro console for free.  Already have the micro console well then you can choose any game of your choice for free and that’s not all, you’ll also get $5 off (regularly $50) and Darksiders for free. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. On Live also is playable with an Xbox 360 style controller too.

Now this is a pretty sweet deal, as those of you who don’t already know, the On Live service lets you play video games that would normally require a pricey, up to date PC or your piece of crap computer smooth, with out any lag or other issues.  Now they have a special offer going on right now where if you pre-order Red Faction: Armageddon with them you will get the magical mini console that connects to your computer as well as the controller that highly resembles the Xbox 360 controller which is a $99 value.  It is free to create your membership and I believe they have other deals for becoming a first time user, like their free trial but which will eventually lead to a monthly or yearly fee.  The plus side is that brand new games are next to nothing to digitally own and some games you can even just rent for a short period.  Check out the special pre-order deal here.
