The other way to look at it - would you consider it fair to be able to buy a bunch of $1 games for their coupons and end up getting $40+ games for free? Besides, give the Jan list of games a few more days. If it's like last year, they may end up being discounted before the coupons expire.

Some things will be better sales with the coupons though. For example Dark Souls was $15 with its Christmas sale, 18 now, and will be 13 with the coupon. So $2 cheaper than during Christmas. It's also a second chance for people who missed sales to not pay full price, and the games may even go on sale again during January. Some will be cheaper than they were during the sale, some will be the same, some will be more expensive.

For people looking for Kingdoms of Amalur, it will be the cheapest price yet, at $9.99 with the credit.

Last January I got Civ 5 for $3.99, Darkspore/Spore/NFS:Hot Pursuit for $2.99 each, and DNF for free with my promo credits.

I certainly wasn't complaining.

that would be awesome, amalur on its own has been under $10 a few times, but never with all of the dlc content.

Tony said it's highly unlikely.

You bought the wrong version.

You want this one:

Email CS and tell them you got the wrong version, they'll get you sorted.

Cheers,

The price of the bundle isn't even known yet, so it could be worse anyway.

Hey guys,

I was using that pack as a placeholder for stuff that the $5 coupon would work on, specifically because it will likely never go live again.

One of our automated systems put it on that page, we'll get it off ASAP.

Cheers,
Tony

It was a placeholder for Risen 2, amirite?!?!

Risen 2 Complete!?

Now let's not get greedy!


(The DLC isn't good, anyway)

So, Tony, now that Risen 2 Complete has been added to the EC, can you give us a hint for what the sale price will be at in January?

I'm joking.. I know a few of you will take this post seriously

Random question. If someone buys an Amazon giftcard in Australia or wherever, can they send it via email to an American and they are able to use it?
