They almost certainly will still have keys, considering the deal is meant to last a week, they probably won't sell out in one day.

They sold out the Square Enix pack keys in a day. Hopefully it wont be a problem this time.

Yeah, I find it hard to believe the Arcade Bundle will be as popular as the Absolutely Great Square Pack.

All of the Fable 3 DLC just got updates in the Steam Registry. Going to guess since this is the first time they've been sold as Steam keys outside of Steam that it was related to this sale.

so hitman:absolution is 66% off on steam. you think it will get any cheaper on amazon later? is it a game that can be waited on?

You waited this far. All im saying is if u have enough backlog to go until summer, just wait. Square Enix games usually goes on sale quick. its a great games as i heard. but if u can, just wait

Back in October they ran this bundle for $9.99 as the deal of the week. It was supposed to last a week, but they ran out of keys several times. They restocked acouple of times, but they finally had to cancel the deal on Monday of that week after the publisher got skittish over how many bundles they were selling for so cheap.

Not gonna say that it will happen here. But it has happened before.

EDIT: Looks like while I was busy hunting down the link for the Square pack, jatan11t already posted about it.

Im sure Tony will be careful this time. Coz he knows the sales stats.

Amazon should add a tab in there web page called Game bundles or something. so people can look @ them easily. Amazon need to fix there Digital download page user friendly. Its not very impressive for my eye

Relax, it's highly unlikely to sell out of keys. For one, Amazon learns from past experiences. For another these are not AAA titles like was in the Absolutely Great Square Pack. And I'm sure there will be individual titles on the Stream trade thread (I known some of mine will be).

Got to wonder why a publisher would be like that?. Lower price but high volume sales....

Or play well with others, apparently.


Something tells me the Microsoft Bundle will run out of keys very quickly. Gonna set my alarm.

Not sure why no one's put the first two as digital downloads. Doesn't MS still own all three? It certainly can't be a lack of source material. but yeah, I meant aoe complete rather than aoe 3 complete

That bundle was the reason I found out about CAG. I managed to order two of those bundles

Nod. A few days ago I was trying to thing a decent dodge around this. I was thinking rig it like a pre-order... but Amazon pre-orders don't get charged until stock is in (at least for physical good) so I'm not sure how that would handle the time limited coupon.

Not quite 'blood red', but should offer some camouflage...




Personally, the Tim Allen in me requires a little more oomph typically, so I have this one as well...

Yeah, I used to get that a lot on my report card, "Does not play well with others."

I'm really good with animals though.

I was playing SR3 shortly after release, and there was this guy in my cellphone I could call and he would give me a few bucks and act as backup but he wasn't part of the Saints. I found out about CAG by trying to answer the question: "Who the is CheapyD?"

The problem I saw with that Square Bundle was that there were many who bought multiple copies either to give to friends or sale for profit through trading.
If Amazon instead implemented a "1 bundle per account" policy for the first couple days for these high demand bundles, that would ensure everyone had an opportunity to make a purchase

I do not think the above scenario, or Amazon selling out of keys, will occur this time around; as only those with EC coupons will be buying these bundles for $5 [which is limited to how many coupons you have]; for many others it will be $10.
