If you don't feel like dropping 180 large on the swanky new Rock Band 2 instruments and bundle, perhaps a $99 (Wii, PS2) or $119 (360, PS3) price tag suits you better?  Online retailer Amazon.com has dropped the prices on these bundles which includes the Guitar, Microphone, Drums and a copy of Rock Band 1; which of course is fully importable into your Rock Band 2 experience on the 360 and PS3.

All told you could have Rock Band 1, all the instruments and Rock Band 2 for less than the full price of the Rock Band 2 bundle.  Score!

The only thing we like around here more than co-op gaming is FREE co-op gaming.  Thankfully a new Amazon.com promotion that is catered towards family gaming titled "Family Game of the Month" seems right up our alley.  Thanks to the recent Xbox 360 Price Drops, you'll be getting an Xbox 360 Arcade Bundle for $199 and LEGO Batman for FREE!

So hit this link and get some batty 360 goodness, and help support Co-Optimus in the meantime!

Short and sweet.  If you haven't picked up Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360, there's a great deal going on at Amazon.com.  Purchase the game through the site now, and recieve 1600 Microsoft Points to use later on downloadable songs, XBLA games, or whatever your heart desires. 

It's like getting the game for $40!  Offer ends October 4th, so get it while the getting is good.

It was voted our most anticipated co-op title for the rest of the year, so it's totally awesome news that Amazon is running a Left 4 Dead pre-order promotion. 

The Xbox 360 version of the game which supports 4 player online co-op as well as 2 player split screen co-op is available for pre-order for $53.99.

The PC version of the game which supports 4 player online co-op is available for pre-order for only $39.99!

You definitely don't want to miss out on this one folks.  Zombies...it's got ZOMBIES!

Hopefully, I'll still be here after bumping a news item over the great Top 5 article by bapenguin and AgtFox, but I've been itching all day to announce Circuit City's deals on co-op games this week.

Although the promotions are not limited to co-op games only -- nor to Xbox 360 games only -- but this is a good opportunity to pick up co-op games that may not have appealed to you otherwise...

$10 gift card with pre-order:

• Gears of War 2
• Fable 2

$14.99 sale price:

• Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
• Saint's Row

Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 also happen to be on the Top 5 List. Somebody at Circuit City must be a Co-optimus fan...

It's not often a console gets a price cut, and in the case of the Xbox 360 there's only been one in it's lifetime, and it was $20. Today though there's a major price drop of $50-$80 across the board for the console making the cheapest version available for $199.

• Xbox 360 Arcade Bundle - $199
• Xbox 360 Pro w/ 20GB Hard Drive - $259
• Xbox 360 Pro w/ 60GB Hard Drive - $299
• Xbox 360 Elite w/ 120GB Hard Drive - $399

Why should you care about this? Well according to our statistics page the Xbox 360 is far and away the leader of offering cooperative games with 87, and when you factor in Xbox Live Arcade it brings that number up to 137 co-op games.

It's never been a better time to pick up an Xbox 360, so use the above links to support Co-Optimus!

Right now Amazon is selling Too Human for $49.99 with free shipping.  Get it while the getting is good and support Co-Optimus in the process!

With all the Diablo III news going on, it's only natural to want to crack out the original two games.  Unfortunately for some it's not an easy find; most local stores don't carry it.  Luckily Amazon has the whole shebang, the entire Diablo Battle Chest (Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II - Lord Of Destruction, and 2 Hint Guides) for $29.99 with free shipping. 

My order is placed - will I see you on Battle.NET for Co-Op?
