Front page. Today only

My EA code doesnt seem to be working...tried with 3 different games (all well over $5) and it doesn't apply the $5 promotional credit as it should. Was the EA promotion pulled early?

EDIT: Seems others having the same issue too

Originally Posted by r9800pro I just got the 2K email, now need to think what to get lol It seems that EA promo credit was deleted from the system or something, me and 2 friends don't have it working anymore but THQ and UBI work fine. It is not a big issue cuz there is nothing interesting in EA list but just wanted Tony to know

My first post on the subject was at 8 AM yesterday. Something isn't right here.

We are all supposed to believe that Tony scrubbed ALL of those plans because of a handful of complaints (on a separate issue, regarding only one game the coupon was being applied to) on one forum (when these deals are posted in many, not just by him, but are everywhere (steamgifts,slickdeals,etc.) on the internet, and did so in less than 24 hours before they were to go on sale?!? So he made the decision (as he claims) to cost Amazon potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars because of a few whiners? I'm not buying that, or the statment that they were scrubbed for market research. Even CheapLikeAFox noted "Seems odd the promo would be altered or held back for them when I thought the majority was happy with it." I agree. It's to fishy. That did not come about because of me.

Today only

My THQ coupon doesn't work, and I got 4 emails for the coupons >.<

So 2K mails are out or not? Also Can't use either of my THQ promos. Am I out of time?

Tony is the Amazon Digital Downloads video game rep. If it has a shipping weight, it's not his ballpark.... though I hear he knows hamsters.

So which one do you guys think is a better buy- LA Noire or Lord of the Rings War in the North. Want to spend this $3 credit.

i just got my 2k coupon an hour ago.
it can be used starting tomorrow.
the desert sea bundle better still b 9.99 tomorrow

Gameplay > Story. LotR hands down.

Again, apologies for all the back and forth about this. My response was in no way directed at an individual, rather it was a response and explanation for what was going on. In retrospect, my response should have been "nope". I've stated multiple times in multiple places that there wasn't any ill will felt on my end.

I'm not sure what else to say though in response to the accusation that "So he made the decision (as he claims) to cost Amazon potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars because of a few whiners? I'm not buying that, or the statment that they were scrubbed for market research."

I will tell you that the net of this conversation is that I will be much more careful in my responses since they are not taken at face value, something which I regret given the massive amount of time I spend here.

Again, no malice, but if I can't be honest with you guys without illiciting this kind of negative reaction I just won't be.

I'd like to end with an ask for resolution on your end. How can I help you feel less bad about this situation?

Cheers,
Tony

Quick question

Wife got me Dark Souls PS3 for Christmas... any reason to purchase it on PC during this sale? Kinda curious if modding and such make it worth the $15 investment.

Yeah I want to buy the EA pack and I'm not getting the discount either. I got two EA emails on the 24th.
