Amazon throws some pre-order bait with bonus credit offers on big titles coming out in the next couple of months. Meantime, GreenMan Gaming's own 25 percent off coupon is still going, along with Microsoft Store's offer of $20 worth of Microsoft Points on 11 titles there. Those deals highlight more than 100 in all in this week's edition of The Moneysaver.

We thank Deals4Downloads and its management team, Sebastian Lindig and Michael Krenz, for all they provided to The Moneysaver over the past three years (going back to when it was known as Weekend Coupons) and wish them the best.

Rare value config spotted on Dell's site, just the base config with only the 7970M upgrade, which isn't available if you customize the base config on Dell's main Alienware offers page. Cheapest config with this GPU Dell advertises is usually $2,000+ because of other upgrades they build in to raise the price.

Next best is $1,100 and it's $1199 from Apple Store. It's not a gaming laptop, but the price is so good for a MBA that it's a good consideration for those with low GPU requirements or casual gaming.
