Edit: I'd be willing to participate with a higher price point assuming the cost/game efficiency is better. (And separate keys are available.)

This makes sense, and we do offer larger bundles with semi regularity (2K Mega Pack, a bunch of the Sega packs, etc.) I just don't focus on them as heavily because I can't enough people like you to buy them.

Picked up The Walking Dead with my coupon. I already own it for XBOX, but this game is too good. My game of the year, maybe my favorite game of this gen.

1c bundle, 80 games 20bucks.

Thanks.

If the price cut on the 2k mega pack had happened a bit earlier I would have jumped on it.

We had it for like 10 days at $5.99 ending about 7 days ago. This is one we're in conversation about revisiting and won't be matching.

It XYZ Game a puzzle game or something?

I don't know about these knuckleheads but looking back on my recent purchases, they are mostly smaller bundles (2-3 games, maybe the DLC). I think the only BIG bundle I grabbed was that SQENIX bundle. And let's be fair... ANYONE who loved SE games snatched that badboy up.

As is, I'm pretty much set for January and likely well into February... but there is plenty I'd be willing to throw money at.. :-)

We all saw. Both times.

But those smaller bundles with the Bioshock keys are basically just there to dump Bioshock keys.

If the Bioshock keys aren't basically worthless, then why does Amazon keep running out of them? It's because Amazon doesn't want to buy too many of them... and then be stuck themselves with worthless keys.

I'd rather see packs cost a little more, minus worthless keys.

Pack suggestions:

1) $12 - Borderlands GOTY, DNF+DLC, Spec Ops
2) $14 - Spec Ops, Borderlands GOTY, Darkness 2
3) $25 - Borderlands GOTY, Darkness 2, Spec Ops, Mafia 2, Civ 5 GOTY, Civ 4 Complete, Stronghold

If I don't give in, I'm possibly waiting for a Borderlands 2: Complete Box (with BL2 + ALL Non-Season Pass DLC + Season Pass DLC Pack).

What concerns me more is : "Will XYZ Game Be on the EC List for $XXX.XX" I'd rather it say: "Will XYZ Game Be on the EC List for $0.XX"

I just want a Crusader Kings 2 bundle with all the DLC.. just package it together and that'd be my MUST buy :-)

how about a Warlock+Defenders of Arcania + all dlcs for both bundle for $4.99, and have it be on the EC list?

=)

Oooh @ getting a game from anywhere from FREE to 99 cents.

FYI there are several parts of this statement that are 100% untrue:

1. Because, in the digital marketplace, we have no inventory, we don't "buy keys" we get keys and make payment upon sale. There is no unhealthy inventory that needs to be liquidated. So there are no Bioshock keys "to dump".

2. The keys aren't worthless obviously...as evidenced by their continued sale and the massive amount of demand around the Bioshock pack when it was $5 (even before it was briefly free).

3. I'd like to offer this feedback (not to you specifically but to anyone reading this), it should be obvious by now that I'm a big advocate of using customer feedback to impact change in our business. It makes it exceedingly hard for me to make this feedback be taken seriously when anyone can pop into a forum I'm working in and find evidence of people making incorrect statements as if they were fact, the reason for this is that it destroys the credibility of the feedback. Just some food for thought, if you're going to make a statement like this, where you think you understand a situation, it is much more beneficial to the community as a whole if you instead state it as a question.

Cheers,
Tony

GamersGate already had that

Ahhh, GG and their pricing-errors.

They need to STOP having them during my sleeping hours and at times when I might be at work...
...and instead pick a better time to have them errors for me!

Just so you know Tony... I was out for most of the day but the one-two punches you've been putting out have made me laugh so hard reading through the forum.

I know you promised to only post once a day but your witty retorts to some people....

Priceless. And the fact that I can say ... So Tony says.... and my wife instantly knows I'm talking about "the Amazon guy... who works for Steam?"... LOL ... that was a fun convo.

Trying to decide whether to grab Dark Souls before it goes off sale. Not sure if it's my kinda game. What I've seen of it makes me think it's not, but so many people rave about it.... I've got 3 EC tix left, just don't want to waste them.

I prefer smaller bundles. It's less likely I own too much in them, and I find I'm less likely to reject something at a lower price. When the bundles get up to the $25 mark, I start thinking maybe I should buy whatever new AAA game is at that price. (Needless to say, if we're talking about the Strat First or 1C bundles, that doesn't apply.)

You're not 1337 enough for Toilet Tycoon! ^_~ (Personally I can't wait until the inevitable remake as an FPS =p
