It's a Premium Membership Sale!

For a limited time, load up on Giant Bomb Premium at a discounted price.

No Caption Provided

It's that time of year again! Well, one of those times of year, at any rate: another Giant Bomb Premium membership sale is upon us. For the next two weeks, you can extend your current membership for the low, low cost of $35, or if you're a first-time subscriber, you can also nab an introductory rate of $29.99. You can find out more information here, or just head over here to sign up.

Watch Brad and Dan take on Gary Busey in their series of Hitman elusive target takedowns! Witness the defeat of the forces of evil in VinnyVania! Gasp at the antics of the Unprofessional Fridays gang! Or catch up on over six years' worth of Premium content in our archives. The sale is going to be on for around two weeks, so you have some time to act if you don't want to act now.

Note: sale memberships do not come with the normal store discount code. That's what enables us to reduce the price! Note two: We do now have Paypal available for new memberships! Unfortunately it cannot be used to extend memberships if you're already signed up with a credit card, though, due to the way our payment processor works. (If you want to shift your membership from a credit card to Paypal; email me at support at giantbomb.com and we'll work something out.) Note three: you can purchase gift codes over here, but only if you currently have a subscription. (Our payment processor is pretty weird!) If you want to buy someone a gift of premium access but that link doesn't work for you, get in touch at the support email address below and we'll work something out.

Also: most renewals during a sale week will go through at the full price with the store code. If you'd prefer to get the sale price, just email me at support and don't use the store code; I can cancel it and refund you the difference. It might take me a day or two to get back to you, though! I am still working through all of the emails I received about this from before the weekend, so I apologize if you're waiting; I'm going to try and clear as many of them out as possible in the next couple of days.

If you have any questions about this sale, or have any issues taking advantage of it, please get in touch with me at support@giantbomb.com; that'll get you a much quicker response than any other method of reaching out. We get a high volume of support emails during sales, so please have a little patience as I work my way through them.

Hurrah, sale!

Hopefully the support emails can be kept to a minimum for the sake of Rorie because there's Legion to play!

WIll Dan be the greatest heel to walk the earth? Will Brad ever be good at video games? Will Rorie switch to cats? Will Jeff finally get all the Sneak Kings? Will Stree Overlord be the next Giant Bomb SF content editor? The answers to these questions and much much more will be given very slowly over the next 365 days.

@rorie Just FYI, my subscription lapsed a week or so ago, and my resubscription price was $29.99 (neither $35 nor $29.95). Not sure if this is a bug in your system or what.

Also, the stickied banner at the top of the site says $29.99 instead of $29.95 for new subscribers, so I'm thinking I somehow got the first-timer price, and the $29.95 is an error in the post.

I got to hear Ryan going nuts at my subscription again.

That alone makes it worth it.

Reupped to 2018, I might add another year later on. Giant Bomb is one of the few sites that is worth paying for.

I've been paying for the monthly sub since they first started premium. I should really get around to subbing annually.

I don't need the discount, I'd happily pay more, since the Premiums stuff is almost all I watch.

For new Premium people, who want to catch up on some of the great older stuff, can I recommened:

Load our Last Souls - With Vinny playing through the second half of Dark Souls.

Bioforge playthrough - which starts in This Unprofessional Friday, then spins out to it's own episodes.

Metal Gear Scanlon - Where Drew plays through all the Metal Gear Solid games for the first time.

VinnyVania - Where Vinny plays through all the Castlevania games in order.

All the recent premium Hitman episodes, and of course the Mario Party Party episodes.

Oh, sooo much great content. :D

My sub is set to renew on the 30th of Sep. If I added a new year starting at the 30th would I by charged with $35?

(I have sent Matt an e-mail, understandably waiting as he's dealing with it all.)

As far as I can see, you have to pay for it now, during the sale. The extra year will be added to start from the 30th of September, but my guess is you can't pay for it then (would kind of go against the idea of a sale, really) - but maybe Matt is lenient on this kind of thing..? :)

(I bought an extra year myself, and I only became a member last May..)

@alexph: Rorie just sent me a link to the purchase page, but I realised adding a year does is simply move my renewal date, so I bought an additional year at the sale price.

Happy to get premium for 30 bucks after listening to the podcast weekly for many years

Two drawbacks:

  1. I made my name all lower case
  2. I have 5 or more years of content to try and choose from

Maybe the last one is not a drawback, eye of the beholder and everything?

I don't really subscribe for premium content anymore. I mainly do the yearly sub to pay you guys back for all the years of laughs even before you started the subscription thing. Not that you shouldn't keep producing premium content when you can but just know that I've got your backs for as long as I can afford it. Thank you for this website.
