I'm ready for NFS: The Run for ONE WHOLE Lincoln!

BTW - I'm ready for whenever you drop that Dark: Souls PTD deal for a whole JACKSON!

That'd be pretty good for a NEW game - NFS: MW 2012 from Criterion.

Wouldn't be a good deal, if it was NFS: Most Wanted 2005 by Black Box
Love that old racer, BTW.

Excuse me for not wanting to read the last couple of weeks or so of pages I missed, but is there any news on the strat first or 1C bundle? Or are those two completely out of the window? I have been following amazon and seen a couple of other deals in the meantime but have not checked CAG for a while now. Thanks.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned "LE"

By the way, NFS MW from 2005 was an awesome game, still love the music score

Well, the fact that the coupon doesn't work anymore may actually be GOOD for me. I have been waffling back and forth on Sleeping Dogs so much for the past few days... that when I just read it wasn't valid anymore I was almost relieved I didn't have to think about it anymore.

(I know it's a great game, backlog is huge though and with all the DLC coing out for it I may be better off waiting for a GOTY edition of it)

poor Washington is always left out.

When are these deals scheduled?...

& is Syndicate worth the $8 shipped?

This is hilarious

Maybe Tony should make Amazon put some good games for a Washington each

Tony said next month for KOA deal

Syndicate is good but short and tbh I think it would be better for ~$5 mark

$12 for everything Amalur might just be low enough to tolerate Origin!

Round up 3 more of those Washingtons and you could get your hands on KoA soon! (show spoiler)

Appreciate it. Will just wait for KoA then.

This!

Is the PC version any better than 360?

Even with some tweaks in the right places, you can make it look MUCH better. If the PC assets are High-Res and HD, while the console isn't - it'll be an absolutely blowout on the PC version. Even more so true, if you do some tweaking in the right places. If you are getting good performance on a PC version of a game (think 30 frames per sec or above consistently), you likely should and can pump up some EXTRA technical stuff via NVidia/ATI Control Panel, if necessary. That will blow away what the consoles are doing graphically, with their aging hardware.

Since the mouse moves much faster than a controller through the 3d space by default, the PC version needs to run at 60 fps to look as nice as the console versions at 30fps, as screen tearing & framerate problems are easily more noticeable. The fixed hardware on the consoles is not comparable to the exact same PC specs, as the PC games have to meet the lowest common denominator. The consoles are fixed, therefore the devs can crank out alot more since they know what the end user will have. Of course, I game on a 32" HDTV where the framerate & mouse speed issues are much more apparent.

I still standby that Tony meant a penny when he said for a Lincoln.

What's the NFS deal? The ultimate pack they always sell?

While 60FPS (or sometimes above) is MOST desirable on PC, I have no problems w/ PC games sticking at 30 FPS as long as its buttery smooth and was BUILT for it.

Since we were talking NBA2K series for PC - I don't know who the hell would use KB/mouse for a basketball game. That's a game I'd use my X360 for Windows Controller on - same goes for most platformers (think POP, AC series) & brawlers (think SF and MK series), as well.

I have a 23'' monitor for my PC games and I'm sitting RIGHT in front of it, pretty much hugging my monitor. On a console game - you're normally a little distance away; often sitting on a couch. Also, you'd expect lower FOV on console games, as well - where PC swings in the opposite direction (90+).

Agreed.

I have KOA:R on PC - it runs great & smooth as silk on my PC (i7 950; 1 GB of GF GTX 560 Ti; 8 GB RAM; Win 7 64-bit).

I maxed that game out on its in-game graphics settings AND also pumped up my NVidia settings through the roof, as well.
I am able to do that w/ most of my PC games, BTW.

Bah, Origin is NOT that bad.

It just lacks A LOT of features that STEAM has spoiled us with, namely - especially when it FORCES its client-program to run in the background for specific games.

I could get down w/ NFS: The Run for a whole PENNY.

I'm broke but I finally gave in and tried to use SQRLUVOC but it says it's invalid. Not sure if I'm relieved or disappointed.

If Origin could manage to get one of those during their promotions it would probably be considered progress.
