Seriously Tony?? We all have to pay for a couple of wuzzies that threw a fit over a few bucks??

Those people should be banned from this thread dammit!

Imo, the issue is with how EA treated this coupon issue, raising most prices so that even with a $5 coupon I can't see anything worth buying other than the Burning Storming Reflecting pack (but I already own 3 of those).

Don't get me started on complainers!

Ick, at least it's a nice little airport. Tampa greyhound station on New Year's Day is completely another matter.

I guess I'll just have to pick it up next time it goes on sale.

All this game playing talk is really invading the buying threads. ^_~ I blame the Steam "sale."

Bulletstorm is a fun slightly crass romp. Burnout Parasise is great. Mirror's Edge is interesting -- you haven't played anything quite like it (and the first? game to feature PhysX). No experience with the others.

My two promos were for items in free-to-play games. So yeah...can it already.

Lol, thinking of it as punishment is kind of harsh. You should be jazzed that we'll finally have an answer to the age old question, "is this a vocal minority?"

Cheers,

hey Tony, do you have any information on what the supposed Civ deals there will be on the 28th?

I'm sure this has been asked before, I bought two games on Amazon today, does that mean I get 1 or 2 $5 credits? Also, When do we get the codes for the credit?

Yeah but I need to format all the links and such. I'll post tomorrow when I'm back in Seattle. If I don't pass out on the flight I'll format offline on the plane and do it when I get home.

I'm pretty tired though so this might not happen in flight.

Cheers,
Tony

It feels that way though. I feel like I am in grade school and the whole class got punished because two or three kids were acting up.

Originally Posted by Amazon DVG Deals More information benefits everyone. Also remember companies test stuff all the time, you all just have someone to tell you about what we're testing and why.

My only suggestion is if it is possible to create a separate thread to discuss feelings and impacts about deals, and keep this one about actual deals. It's kind of hard to wade through all the posts complaining about this (not just the ones about complaints, but the ones complaining about complaints).

I just want to find the best deals for the current promotions!

Thanks. Get some sleep, you need it. And thanks for all the amazing deals.

Originally Posted by yangwenli I got my 2k promo as well. I really can't find much use for this since I already PAID MORE for the stuff before the coupon <laugh>. If someone still needs Bioshock 1&2 for cheap, let me know and maybe I'll pick up Spec Ops.

Spec Ops is totally worth it. The story is top notch. I happily paid $20 for that pack.

Originally Posted by jimmywolf13 i agree with this statement, i paid full price for digital saint row 3,Darksider 2, Borderlands 2 an X com when they first came out, few month later their price drop a lot but i don't mind i got too enjoy those game at price i thought was worth it

Full price?!? Lots of CAGs pre-ordered but none of them paid full price. Tony had a nice BL2 pre-order promo in this very thread. (DS2 as well iirc)

That's usually the first post; that's where Tony makes his updates.

Originally Posted by Motoki And oddly enough, I won't complain because I thought they were worth $7.50 when I bought them, that was the price that I as an adult who makes my own decisions chose to pay and I'm not going to whine about it if someone gets them for $2.50 next month. That's life. If I really didn't think they were worth $7.50 I wouldn't have bought them but I did and I am perfectly content with that decision. I also think letting a few vocal complainers on the internet influence pricing decisions is just nuts. No matter what you do someone will be unhappy. That's life. I am also quite unconvinced on this whole macro level thing. I think people that sit around camped out at the computer and watch every damned price shift are a minority. They seem like the majority here because that's the nature of this forum but most people I know don't obsess over price differences like people do here. But it's not my job to worry about these sorts of micro/macro customer feelings so I concede there may be factors I am not seeing.

i agree, its only 5 bucks guys 7.50 is pretty darn cheap for some good games. pretty sad how people want it lower than it already is. how is amazon and the developers going to make profit then..ed up christmas spirit

Why oh why we all have to suffer?!?!

Honestly I hope you care to share that data with us, it'd be interesting to see what the numbers show.

Good Lord, people. It is what it is. Move on.

You're new here, huh? You don't need to look further than the OP for that. Sure it might get updated minutes, even hours later, but that's all you need. And seriously without feelings involved why even bother with video games?

That there are a large number of tough guys who are in touch with their inner drama queen.

There are plenty of times when Tony doesn't update it, or the deal is about a pricematch which doesn't make it to the OP. I also like reading posts by users explaining why this deal is better than that deal.

Well, I might be part of the vocal minority on this issue, BUT...

I say get some rest. You were up late last night making sure the coupons went out smoothly despite some last-minute technical issues. I think you and your dev did great work!

We can handle not knowing about a deal 3 days in advance. This time.
