Amazon has a few games super cheap right now in the bundles that I own boxed copies for which is why I'm asking, is it worth just getting the keys for an extra $2.50 to get them on Steam? Is there any actual benefit to it or is it just personal preference?

If they are Steamworks yes, but you would know if they are because they'd require Steam anyhow. In other cases generally no though most relatively recent EA stuff can be registered to Origin.

The whole activating to Uplay and Uplay itself as a game store and client is still relatively new so it's very YMMV on that.

When the whole Amazon SS collection was $9.99 just recently, I think waiting for <$5 is perfectly reasonable.

It was $6 or $8 (according to whether you chose credit or cash back) on GMG a short while ago. Just sayin'...

i'm actually surprised SD isn't already on the list.


Anywho, someone else said before that Tony has posted info on upcoming EC stuff. I looked through his past posts and couldn't find any of that.

I get the impression people aren't understanding that the EC list is dynamic and will change throughout the month, thus they are prematurely burning through their coupons.

Then the rest of the sale will be possibly better for the people who wait.

Cool, next time could you consider those of us who have the game on the queue line and hold back on the spoilers??

Thanks.

what you're probably seeing are those who got tons of coupons by buying free demos or really cheap dlcs with the intent of trading the games over at steam. Just wait a month or so and you'll see all the trade offers. I think many of the folks who got coupons from buying games they wanted to buy are probably pacing themselves and aren't too stressed over 'not using up all my coupons'. Just a guess...

Perhaps I should have better phrased it as I was only counting PC-download games.

I don't think you'll find that "Serious Sam 3 has a bunch of bad guys on the final level" to be too much of a spoiler.

TONY, what are the chances of Rocksmith going EC while its still $15?

You know what...

Tony shouldn't ever give you guys clues ever again. Half the stuff you people are asking for is "Tony can I get this on sale with this extra sale sometime soon?" "Tony, is such and such going on sale?"

Seriously. And considering Tony vowed to only post 1 time per day for a week (and I think we're only on Day 3), all this pestering. No wonder the man is stressed out. I'd be stressed. Nevermind his poor hamsters.

Yeah, that would be like trying to spoil the "climax" in Debbie Does Dallas.

Looks like Sleeping Dogs was price-matched on Amazon. It's just too bad it's not part of the Editor's Choice of 2012 list (not just because it would be awesome to save $5, but because it was an absolutely fantastic game).

The one you linked to is also $29.99, not $60.

The only one I can see which has the DLC is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Payne-Complete..._rhf_ee_s_cp_7

But that is $89.98

So was it an error from Amazon? Otherwise I'll just grab it from Steam?

Thanks

You do realize all the MP3 DLC is multiplayer, right. Not that I'm downplaying it or anything, I just don't want people thinking they're getting some special SP bonus missions or whatnot.

Every time I hear someone mention Tony, I keep seeing Tony the tiger saying "It's gggggggreattt~".

I think I have a problem.
