How to save money on games.
Do you like to play games on your computer? I’ve gotten hooked on hidden object games, thanks to my blogging pal Skeet. After buying one hidden object game and beating it, I knew I had to have more. Which is where the saving of the money comes in. I could go broke buying games at full price. So I joined the Big Fish Game Club. By signing up for the club, I am committing myself to making one purchase a month. In exchange for that commitment, Big Fish is discounting games down to $6.99 each. (There are two other plans at $9.99 per month and $7.99 per month, but the best discount is the one I got, and it saves a lot of money.) Generally games are about $19.99, so you save $13 each if you’re in the game club. So let’s do the math. I’ve committed to spending $83.88 over the course of one year, broken down into $6.99 increments each month. If you were buying the games full price, you’d spend $79.96 on four games alone. So after buying four games you’ve pretty much paid for the membership. Once you’ve met your committed number of games you can cancel. And if you want you can rejoin at any time with no minimum required. It’s a great deal worth checking out. But wait! That’s not all. For a couple of days more, Big Fish has made the deal even better. The ad on the Big Fish Games Home Page says that if members use a game credit between now and 12/14/07, they will be emailed a free game credit on 12/15/07. I also got an email saying the same thing. Go. Now. What are you waiting for? If you don’t want it for yourself, it’d make a great gift.
