DJ Hero 2 (PS3)

Sale Price  $8.99 SALE (70% off) at Amazon Deal Factor  6.4 (details) Deal Factor for "DJ Hero 2 (PS3)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).
