You can always preorder it and cancel the preorder before it releases if you don't want it then. Amazon doesn't charge preorders till they are sent out.

We'll have a Steam version of the standard version of ACIII too I'm just waiting for the page to be created.

Cheers,

At the moment, the HP and Batman games are the only four Lego games in the Amazon DVG portfolio. Part of the reason I'm buying the bundle is to convince WB/Amazon to add the rest of the titles.

Got in on the Lego games bundle. My little cousin is going to be happy as hell to get my Xbox 360 Lego games (I have them all except Batman 2). I somehow didn't even realize they were on the PC.

What I'm getting from this being the go-to analogy around here recently is that the regulars of this thread have had some really awful luck with women lately.

So... uh... maybe invite that cute girl down the street to play some Lego Batman?

Don't forget to wear your "I voted" sticker.

Civic responsibility is an aphrodisiac.

Is there going to be a sale on the Dead Island dlc again? I wanna get the Ryder White dlc without having to buy the $10 upgrade or GOTY edition.

For me it is $27.98 after applying GC and promo credit, and I still can cancel it if I find it cheaper somewhere else (but must be on Steam!)

Tony, please can you do the same for Far Cry 3 ? I mean the Steam redeemable keys magic you got there

It was a nice surprise to see Lego games support Eyefinity. This is a huge plus for me and definitely getting all the games now

Is it just me or does anyone else just hate the look of Eyefinity with the distortion. I understand why it does it, but it just looks like pure crap to me and has always bugged me.

I'm going to wait, expecting a drop before christmas!

Actual gameplay is very different than screenshots. With Eyefinity, you put the 2 side monitors with an angle so it doesn't look as distorted and adds more immersion to the whole experience. Once you go Multimonitor you can never go back and I myself decide whether to buy a game or not based on Eyefinity support as a priority

Originally Posted by tmwfte Since they added the Season Pass to the Deluxe Edition, $79.99 is what it's been listed at just about everywhere except for Amazon US. It's not exactly a "scumbag" move.

The scumbag move I'm referring to was when they had listed it for $65 US and $75 Canadian. I wasn't aware of this season pass thing til today, I looked at their site just now and they're selling the new product for $89.99 Canadian so I'm still calling their Canadian pricing a scumbag move. I'll give this subject a rest cause it's not relevant to the thread, sorry for going off-topic. And to be clear, I'm talking about Ubisoft store, not Amazon.

I use to multimonitor game like 5 years ago. Don't miss it and choose to play on a single monitor when I have 3 I use on my PC.

It is just a taste thing. I don't care for it, but I know some people do. A lot like 3D actually for people.

Funny that Ubishop store in Europe removed the Deluxe Edition and now it shows "Product Not Available" although they had it few hours ago listed for 79.99 Euros ($102.50)

That was not Eyefinity then because Eyefinity was introduced on September 23, 2009 with ATI HD 5000 launch. The technology matured very fast and in 2011 when I got my setup it was amazing with very little, if any, issues

Couple of notes:

1. ACIII Deluxe will be back up to $79.99 at one point in the near future (read today). Those who order/ordered at $64.99 will keep that pre-order pricing.
2. Our ability to get more Steam keys from vendors, as always, relies on the performance of our first runs at doing so. I'll pitch getting them for Far Cry 3 but making that pitch happen is going to 100% depend on how ACIII pre-sells/week 1.

Cheers,
Tony

I've had Xcom in my cart several times this week but couldn't pull the trigger thinking that a deal may be in the horizon. I know Xcom is worth every penny but a CAG is a CAG. So can you put my apprehension to rest Tony?

Does amazon charge you for preorders immediately, or at the time of release?

Looking like Black Friday, no specifics yet though.

On fulfillment, so it might not be time of release, it might be when it preloads. But essentially you're charged whenever we deliver you something (like a key).

Rule of thumb:

If the buy box is yellow and says "buy" you're getting charged, if it says "pre-order" you're not.

Cheers,
Tony

Thanks for the info. Is it easy to cancel a pre-order on a digital download? I seem to recall you have to write in and request it, instead of just hitting a cancel button?

1. I am really happy that I made the pre-order as soon as I "felt" something was gonna happen

2. I am sure ACIII will sell very well, me and 2 friends pre-ordered it

It is just hitting the cancel button

Nice, thanks for the info. Maybe my friend was just being a dumbass last time he canceled, he told me it was a hassle.
