Looking to add 85 new songs to your Guitar Hero library? Want a game that’s made for “Party Play?” Oh, sure. Admit it — you just want to make the ghostly Cobain avatar do your musical bidding. Well, whatever the motivation, you can pick up Guitar Hero 5 (the game only) for a pretty reasonable $28.99 today, thanks to Amazon’s Deal of the Day.

While supplies last (or through the end of the day), the discount is applied to the Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, and PS2 versions of the game. Guitar Hero 5 is worth investing in especially if you’re loaded down with PS2 instruments and don’t want to buy new ones for another console — there won’t be any more Guitar Heroes for PS2, after all. So, if you want more music, this is pretty much your last chance, all you PS2 holdouts!

[Thanks, Jared]

Square Enix is partnering up with online retailer amazon.com yet again, this time offering a $5 off coupon on their already discounted pre-order rate for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The game, which is finally coming out next month in the US, can be purchased for $28.99, shipped. That essentially negates the “Square Enix tax” of their DS games. Not bad, right?

Use coupon code KINGDOM5 when checking out to get the discount.

Game trade-ins are usually only a good deal when you factor in the convenience of not having to deal with eBay — or when there’s a special promotion. This deal from Amazon could boost the value of your trade-ins significantly, if you have a bunch of stuff to trade in.

Through the end of August (it’s been available since July 19), sending $60 worth of old junk in to Amazon will earn you an extra $30 to use toward your next game purchase. Hey, something to do with those 40 copies of Rock Revolution you picked up on impulse today!
