Amazon launched a massive ”buy 2, get 1 free” deal on video games today. It’s unclear as to when the promotion expires, so you’ve got to move soon if you want to capitalize.

They’ve got more than a thousand games up for grabs including many recent releases such as SSX, Mass Effect 3, and the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

DICE Releases Massive Battlefield 3 Patch

DICE started the process of rolling out a massive (1.07GB) patch for Battlefield 3 today. It’s only available on the PS3 right now but the PC and Xbox 360 versions are due out soon.

In addition to the patch, DICE also announced their “Rent a Server” program for PS3 players. Prices range from $1.99 for a single day to $64.99 for three months of control over a server.

Lastly, the company introduced “shortcut packs” – DLC that lets you skip the grind by paying to unlock kits and vehicles for use in Battlefield 3 multiplayer matches. Lame? Convenient? It really depends on how much time you want to devote to the game, I suppose.

No New Xbox 360 at E3 2012

Microsoft squashed all of the rumors today concerning the next Xbox console and E3 2012. The company does not intend to unveil the new system, which is codenamed either “loop” or “durango” depending on who you talk to, at this year’s E3 or “any time soon” for that matter. In fact, they plan to focus entirely on the latest Xbox 360 games and services at the show.

Of course, this could just be a ploy to get Nintendo and Sony to let their guard down.

I haven’t paid hardly any attention to Ninja Gaiden 3 throughout its development. But then not much has been published about it, either. In any case, it looks awesome.
