[UPDATE] Giant Bomb Premium Accounts On Sale

Oh, and all active premium members get GameSpot Total Access for free next week.

[UPDATE]: Monthly users who have been active for over six-months will get the email from GameSpot later this week as well. We can't open this up to all monthlies for the obvious reason that then non-cool duders (known simply as "dudes") could exploit our system and just buy for a month.

Hey duders. Just a quick note to let you know we've moved our login system from auth.whiskeymedia.com to auth.giantbomb.com. Update those bookmarks or something!

We're also approaching the deadline we set during our pancakes talk to give away free GameSpot Total Access plans for all Giant Bomb premium members who are still active on April 15th April 19th (I added a couple extra days for this promotion). It's our way of saying thanks, and giving you the opportunity to check out GameSpot ad-free for the rest of the year. For those of you who want to still get in on that action, we've set up a $35 sale that lasts till Wednesday night that will still get you the GS coupon as long as you sign up before Wednesday 11:59PM PDT. If you're already an active member, you might want to pick it up to extend your membership another year at a cheaper price.

In any case, here are the major details you need to know.

  • If you're already an active premium member of Giant Bomb, there's nothing you need to do. You'll get an email later this week (prolly Thursday or Friday) from GameSpot with a coupon code. You can apply that code to any account you have over there, or set up a new one.
  • For those grabbing a Giant Bomb subscription this week for the first time, you'll get an email immediately to give you access to Giant Bomb and Comic Vine. Then, later this week you'll get another email from GameSpot with a separate coupon code for use there. Again, it's optional and you can apply it to any GameSpot account you have, or set up a new one.
  • Lastly, this deal does not come with a T-Shirt coupon. If you really want one of those, you can still sign up for a normal subscription at the regular $50 price. You'll still get the GameSpot code later this week as well.

Have no idea what a GameSpot is? These two guys sure do!

If I currently have the monthly membership can I buy this and it will just add on to the end of the month? Or do I need to cancel first?

It'll add on and you'll get the GS code as well.

Times like these are when I wish I had a credit card instead of only Paypal.

7 Eleven here in Australia sell Visa Gift Cards. They also had online only certificates (exactly the same but no plastic card).

If your over 18, upgrade your banks saving account to a VISA Debit account, and give Paypal the finger.

Kinda bummed to see monthly members don't get the offer since I've been a subscriber for more than a year. But I totally get why they can't do it so no harm done.

Hmm... why can't GB just absorb GS wholesale and get it over with?

Because the anticipation of that inevitability is delectable.

I've been meaning to buy premium again but I've been so low on cash. Couldn't pass up on a situation like this but now I have to wait a while longer for Trials Evolution. A longing I gladly endure. HUZZAH

I love how Jeff's face (if not his hair) looks roughly unchanged almost a decade later.

And the fact that this is filed under Rocky Balboa.

I know everyone is weirded out by the blonde hair, but I thought the weirdest part of the video was seeing Ryan without a beard. I think that was probably the first time I have ever seen that.

question: if the "on sale" membership isnt the same as the normal $50 membership, why bother lying and claiming its on sale. Its the membership minus a t-shirt. Youre making the overheads obvious, so why bother making this a temporary thing if $35 is more appealing if the shirt is actually being considered in the membership price.

I remember importing all 3 of the DB games on PS1 back in the 90s (DBGT, Legends and UB22) i actually enjoyed all 3 titles, could of been because i was like 15-16 and i had to spend my own money and back then it was really expensive to import and had to buy the gameshark type deal to plug in the back and the tooth pick trick and it was a big ordeal.

DBGT was probably my favorite, had a lot of problems but i was a huge DB fanboy then.

Did Dave and friends really get rid of the slapped-together Paypal option sometime last year, instead of getting a real one?

Can someone "gift" me a subscription after I pay them via Paypal? Or how else could I still make this work without a credit card?
