Just a reminder to all you friendly folks in the U.S. -- Amazon is having crazy DS deals today.The retailer kicked off its Gold Box sales awesomely, offering Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for $16.99. If we don't say so ourselves, that is damn sweet. You have until 12am Pacific time to bite on this, but we recommend getting it sooner rather than later because we doubt supplies will last.
As for the lightning deals, we've listed them here (with our guesses for ones that haven't been confirmed yet). Keep in mind, these are in Pacific time, and each deal lasts for four hours (assuming they don't go out of stock):
- 6am-10am: "Will you answer the call?" - Confirmed: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for $18.99
- 10am-2pm: "Dazzle your unsuspecting friends with your magical prowess." - Confirmed: Master of Illusion for $14.99.
- 2pm-6pm: "Protect the Earth, destroy the invaders." - Confirmed: Tranformers: Autobots
- 6pm-10pm: "Your destiny awaits. Experience the power." - (Our guess: Naruto: Ninja Destiny)
[Update 1: Master of Illusion was confirmed as the second lightning deal and was added to the post.]
[Update 2: Transformers: Autobots is the third lightning deal. And, would you look at that -- Master of Illusion sold out. Who would have thought?]

Apparently someone or something called Zappdeals hacked Amazon and got the official answers.
ightning Deal @6am (PST) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (reg. $29.99)
Lightning Deal @10pm (PST) Master of Illusion (reg. $29.99)
Lightning Deal @2pm (PST) Transformers - Autobot (reg. $19.99)
Lightning Deal @6pm (PST) Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles (reg. $29.99)
I usually check the comments at the bottom of the Gold Box page, because some of the insane people who spend all their time on Amazon are quite good at guessing (read: cross-referencing the hints with various product descriptions), and their guess thread is currently saying, "Oh, well, Zapp already called them all."
So, take that for what it's worth. I'm kicking myself because I bought AW:DoR like a month ago. :P

Scored AWDoR, which I had wanted almost as much as Contra.

Wow, Advance Wars Days of Ruin for only $16.99? That is a downright steal.
I've been wanting this game since it came out...glad I waited!

OOMPH. If the article is correct about naruto, I might just have to pick that up. As if I have the money. So, in a weird, round-a-bout sort of way I really hope the comment is correct about it being Assassin's Creed.
A couple of others of those are tempting (CoD4, namely)... but I think I'll refrain. I'll just keep taps on that last one and see what develops there.
