How the Amazon Video Game DOTD works...

For those who may not be familiar with the Amazon Video Games Deal of the Day, here's how it works. Every day, around 12:30 AM (Midnight) PST, Amazon will offer a video game for sale at a significant discount (usually at least 30% off retail, sometimes over 50% off). This discount lasts for only 24 hours, or until Amazon has no more in stock. If Amazon runs out of stock before 24 hours are up, the price will change to whatever's available from another seller.

Although many video game and deal news sites have people who manually post these deals, I'm not aware of any place besides here where you can get these consistently posted and tagged by platform in RSS/Atom-compatible feeds.

I hope you enjoy this service - feel free to offer suggestions!
