Anno 2070 comes with some really bad DRM (Solidshield Tages 3 machines activations limit).

Take this in consideration before buying the game.

And last I heard, it had always on DRM.

Did that get patched out?

Nope, still has always online DRM, your save files are stored on the Ubi servers and you need to login everytime to play the game. If the servers are down you're pretty much screwed.

I must have missed the first time this was posted. What is the reference to hamsters with price matches?

what exactly is price matched?

Amazon is staffed by a crack team of highly intelligent hamsters.

I must have had a $5 promotional credit for getting an app or something because I had $5 "promotional" off Darksiders II and another $6.50 for the code bringing it to $13.74

SCOOOOOOOORRRREEEEEE!!!!

I just checked and I believe that is the $5 pre order credit we got from buying the THQ pack. My page shows an additional $5 off of DSII as well and I got the THQ pack.

I didn't get the THQ pack though. Haven't bought any games from Amazon for a few weeks now. I do sometimes grab the Free App of the Day and my wife sometimes gets credit for doing that so I assumed that's it.

But I'm also happy to not overthink it and just enjoy my 73% savings

Is there a way to check what your promo credit is for? I have $24 in credit, but every time I try to check out with a game, it doesn't apply any of the credit. I can only assume that this is because that credit is only valid on certain items, but I'll be damned if I know what games they might be.

Hmmm, interesting.

That sounds like War of Roses credit. $6 off the individual game. $18 off the 4 pack. Try adding those to your cart.

Bingo. That was it. Thanks Fox.

EDIT: Still...I really wish there was an easy way to check if a promo credit is only valid on certain items, and to be able to see what those items might be. I'm sure they sent me email about this, but one can't always keep track of these things.

@Tony
Are guys going to PM Spec Ops: The Line?

Or you going to have a BETTER deal than GameFly soon enough?
It's right now on GameFly $5.99 w/ coupon 2GFT82012; $7.49 w/out coupon...

@Tony
Everyone seems to say that you send out steam keys for preorders when they become available to you. Any word on when you'll be getting XCOM keys to send out?

I normally don't care much about the whole preloading thing, but that game is enormous!

Don't read too much into his lack of responses. I think he's vacationing again. This is probably a direct result of having a job in the Top 10 in the history of the world. He's a bum ( ) who likes to play hooky, take time off and lay around, daydreaming about "The Old Days" when he didn't feel compelled to check a deals forum dedicated to games full of (awesomely) insane people just to guarantee wild PM's and feral hamsters are running around in flaming loops.

Alas, such a world does not exist. Not for him! So he'll check back eventually.

For what it's worth, I don't see a price match on The Darkness 2 or Spec Ops: The Line either. Tony's gone and the asylum's power just failed. It's every nutcase for himself. Dibs on the extra medicated JELLO cups!

Just went ahead and picked up Spec-Ops at gamefly for 5.99 w/coupon. Cheapest I've seen it, didn't even have to download their client, just got the steam key and activated it. How much was that OCTOFUN1 coupon taking off at amazon? 20 or 25 percent?

25%
Would have been $5.63; to me pretty much the same price.

25%

So if they do get around to price matching Spec Ops, and the coupon is still valid at that time, it would be $5.62. Cheaper than Gamefly, but nothing to loose any sleep over if you went ahead and bought from Gamefly.

EDIT: Ninja'd lol

Thanks for the quick responses. If they price match The Darkness II then I'll get it on amazon tomorrow to throw them some love.

Im sorry if this was mentioned already...It could be a coincidence but I ordered the $10 EA 5 pack bundle. Heck of a deal. Then in my e-mail was a coupon for 50% off any game in orgin. I might be shopping for another game!
