The humor, alone, is worth it (to me, anyway). It's a game full of mindless fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

will the editor's choice games (the ones we can use the $5.00 promo credit on) be on sale in January, or will they be full price?

Assuming that it's run like they did last year, they will be on sale. In fact, last year they even price matched a few games that Steam had on sale. On at least one occasion, it was possible to get a game for free after coupon (Medal Of Honor).

Last year I had 7 coupons and I picked up the following. The price listed is after $5 coupon.

Duke Nukem Forever - $0.99
Crysis 2 - $4.99
The Sims 3 Deluxe (base game plus Ambitions expansion) - $16.99
The Sims 3: Generations - $12.99
Spore - $2.99
Dragon Age Pack (both DA1 & DA2) - $6.99
Crysis Maximum Edition - $3.99

Duke was free the second time it was on sale, listed as Mac version but came with a steam key.

It looks like Space Marine is what a lot of people are missing from the THQ pack, I'd like to throw my name into the pot as it's all I don't have (and want) from the bundle. If someone already has it and is planning on picking up the THQ pack please shoot me a PM.

Hey, I see the $5 promo credit already on games.

Yay!

Also works on things like the Saint's Row pack and DLC As well (2 $5 credits there) and the prototype pack!!

Edit : they started giving the $5 credit already ? I bought 5 Prototype packs and didn't get any

It probably just flipped...What's great is that it works for nearly every DLC I've found so if you want anything on the Editor's Choice list, you can pick up a lower cost DLC for the $5. Of course, this is assuming the prices in Jan will be decent which it was last year.

I would strongly nudge anybody towards the latter product.

If you're not on Windows:Phone Edition (aka Win8), get it now.

They're both jolly. SR3 is more a game you'll end up playing with mods ( http://idolninja.com/blog/?cat=10 , http://saintsrowmods.com/ ).

Guys, don't buy darksiders 2 season pass. THQ is the closer to bankruptcy than ever in the past. They could turn it around but it will be rough. If they file chapter 7, whoever picks up the parts will be under no obligation to honor the pass. Same thing if they go into chapter 11.

Really?

And also, UbiSoft is interested in possibly buying some of THQ's IP's, as well.

But the DLC the season pass cover are already out, you just get them cheaper with i guess, and the armor.

Hasn't all the season pass stuff been released already? I was under the impression it was 3 single player packs

You could be right. That's a pretty lame "season".

Tony how about those who bought prototype 2, darksiders 2 early? Will we get the $5 promotion code?

I need bf3 premium on sale can we make it happen?

I bought it early as well and missed the $5 promo, but am actually ok for some reason with not getting the $5 since it probably wasn't supposed to happen yet...

Course, I wouldn't mind if Tony sent some codes our way.

FYI...You can get the five dollar promotional credit for downloading the FREE Dungeon Siege 3 demo. Just had the credit e-mailed to me.

THIS!!!

I bought SR: The Third earlier in Mid-July; AND Prototype Pack when last Friday when was part of the GameSpot-Amazon DVG Friday, as well.

I don't expect a $5 promo code b/c it was bought before this Promo hit - but, $5 coupon codes being sent our way would be a nice surprise!

double dipped on Saints Row. That game is fantastic.
