Picked up the Microsoft Bundle, got all the keys and activated on steam- no problem.

I'd have to say the winter sales award for pc downloads goes to amazon this year for sure. Before editor's choice deals rolled out, there were some great deals and after getting a few coupons, many of the editor's choice bundles were even better.

Thanks for your hard work and keep up the good work, Tony!(and others are amazon)

Umm there's two AOE III Complete Collection. One has Steam DRM. What's the other one?

I don't understand how I missed Viva Pinata. I blame SlickDeals.

I hear you. I'm in the same boat. Heck, I checked earlier today, and I have even had AoE 3 Complete installed on this computer since then... but GFWL-free/DRM-free on steam (forgetting the fact that I haven't played it).

Looks like you had a few cents left over from a prior coupon.

Unable to start downloads of the game. Even with the downloader running.

If that was true, why didn't it reflect in the total? I don't care either way, but glitchy totals after the fact make me nervous.

Finally my keys re-appeared. That was bizarre. :o
edit: Owait, now they are gone again.
edit2: now they are back again

It's a little late, but unless I'm more addled than I think, that total looks right?

$9.99 - $0.07 - $4.93 = $4.99

There's a maximum of $5 from that coupon applied to each order, starting with any partial ones you have left and then using a new one for the remainder.

Mine are back too.

Guess Tony woke someone up.

Aah, and just like dealing with Beth Pack night... it seems so many people give up so easily. My advise from then still applies, "Reload harder!"

Mine were back, but when I clicked the view key button they disappeared again.

For Tony's information:

Purchased very quickly after the sale went live during the mad rush.

As expected from the previous amazing sale, Steam keys took several minutes to appear in my account, which is why people saying 'no keys!' didn't really worry me.

When the 'view product key' finally appeared in my Games & Software Library, I clicked to view my steam key which made all the 'view product key' buttons disappear. A page refresh made them reappear and my now revealed steam key visable. Each key I tried to view made me have to refresh the page to get the 'view product key' to reappear for the other games.

It really just seems that when the server is overloaded it takes a while for the keys to show up, and sometimes you have to refresh your account page a few times to view your keys. Note: I've only see this happen during these mad rushes.

Just so you know so you don't have to worry too much next time.

Is AOE3 accessible for someone who isn't a big strategy gamer? It looks like it could be fun, but also tedious. Any opinions would be welcome.

Tony I got a couple keys to show up after hitting "View" but now they're all gone again.

I know Amazon will give me the keys. I wasn't sure about Gamersgate if I didn't stay up half the night to get them all :P

If you try to buy the Crysis Max Max pack, you'll see your usual $5.00 EC credit, then an extra $0.01 EC credit. Don't worry, Amazon isn't stealing your pennies.

In case anyone has a copy of AoE 3 steam, PM me. I am willing to paypal $6 immediately.

Mine did that. If you got the Microsoft pack, they're only steam keys, I believe, and the downloader simply looks up your steam key and puts it in a document. If you don't have the 'view product key' button yet, the downloader fails because it can't do the lookup. I know my downloaded failed too before the steam keys were available on my account page.

Wait a few minutes and see if the product keys show up on your account page. I had to wait several minutes for mine to appear. The servers are working hard!

Got it! But run out of cupons :( Fable has to wait.
