Last year stuff on the Editor's Choice list went on sale throughout the month of January while the coupons were active. Not all at once, but each few days brought different sales on the EC list. I was a little annoyed with myself for using all my coupons early and then watching things go cheaper but whatever. It was a learning experience.

I have no way of knowing if they'll run it the same way this year. Since the coupons are good all month, I'd just note which games you're interested in and watch the site and/or this thread and see if they get a discount. Coupons are good all month anyway and I'm sure your backlog misses you.

From a retail store, and what currency is the gift card in?

Someone living Australia can buy a digital gift card from Amazon.com, and anyone can claim it on the US Amazon store.

Also, I don't think there is an Australian version of Amazon. (amazon.com.au redirects to amazon.co.uk)

Vanilla will still be only $19.99 though starting in three hours. Still cheaper than Steam right now during the Flash sale.

I can confirm that there's no Australian Amazon. Have an Aussie friend who always bitches about sellers not offering international shipping and whatnot, lol.

Oops, that's what I mean to say. KoA with all of the DLC for under $10.

Don't own it, don't hate it, but not a fan, don't know anything about it. Hence I forgot about the DLC angle of the sale.

Might want to check GamersGate for that one first.

did I miss something about the Civ 5 GOTY sale being only a day? Went out for my brother's birthday and completely forgot about it until now...

Yeah, that was a one-day sale event.

I just bought the 2K Strategy Pack for $14.99 though instead.

^^^^
Ya, get the 2K Super Strategy Pack [make sure it is the SUPER pack that includes the God&Kings expansion]

How much was it? I asked the other day about any additional 2K deals that might be coming up and people told me it was just the 2K packs. So I flat-out missed the Civ 5 GOTY sale.

^^^
CIV 5 GOTY was $12.50 and 2K coupon eligible [bringing the price down to $7.50]


**EDIT**
Here's to hoping Tomb Raider: Underworld flips to a sub $3 price at midnight PST!!!

Sounds like I didn't miss much. Better to buy the Super Strategy pack if I'm interested in Civ 5.

Speaking of which, if I were to buy the Super Strategy pack, would I own every last piece of Civ 5 DLC? Or is there something not included?

Actually, it's the 2K Strategy Super Pack if you want to get that technical with exact precise wording.

But it's the only 2K pack with Civ 5 GOTY anyway, so I'm not sure what your point was.

EDIT: The Mega Pack apparently also has Civ 5 GOTY. Someone just interested in Civ games isn't going to be interested in that pack though. Either way, all of this is in the OP.

You still need this:

Civilization V: Korea and Ancient World Combo Pack

It was $1.87 yesterday; now it's $3.74.

He was just trying to help you out man. No need to take it any other way.

Oh Ok, thanks. I had a feeling that there was something else.

This can only be settled by a fight to the death.

By potentially causing confusion?

My apologies for abbreviating anything. Next time people can just look at the OP.


Actually, I think he meant it could be confused with the Mega Pack. Apparently that also has Civ 5 GOTY.

But someone just interested in Civ 5 isn't going to want that pack anyway, and it's no where near the price I mentioned.

This is juicy.

Keep going, guys. I wanna see who wins the internet!
