Used my last coupon (I only had three coupons) on the Microsoft bundle.

I know. I bought all of that already (save Fable). Tony's earlier deals were too awesome. I was kinda hoping for some SEGA (Total War!)/Ubi (besides Far Cry)/Paradox/Square/Activision stuff. Also, I shoulda bought the EA Classics when it was on sale :/

Nope. They are Steam keys. The ones that you can use GFWL on will add to your achievement count for your Xbox Live account, but you don't get a copy for your Xbox. Maybe one day in the future when you buy something for one platform you'll get it across all platforms that you have the same account on, but that day is not today.

Of course not. But I like the way you think. Tried this angle with a girlfriend's twin sister. Didn't work there either. :(

An extremely awesome deal. I already have Trenc... err Iron Brigade and Toy Soldiers on xbox 360, but $4.99 for those PC versions and three other solid games, one of them being Mark of the Ninja? SOLD. Looks like I had no issue getting the keys, so that stuff must have been worked out. Thanks OP and Amazon!

I just bought the Microsoft bundle because I had the $5 promo credit from buying The Cave and the $5 coupon so it was basically free for me, but I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out.

I really wanted to pick up Fable 1, but currently don't have money to grab it even at $2.49 price mark. So I have Deadlight up for anyone that is able to help me out. Basically a swap, the only game I really wanted from the bundle was Mark of the Ninja. If anyone is interested PM me and we can set up a trade for Fable.
As proof that I have not activated Deadlight:

Okay, I was oblivious to this, what was to be included in the $5 bundle? I assume it was $5 after $5 off January only warm and fuzzy 2012 Buying coupon.

I did see the $2.50 Fable LC for Steam in the OP, but already have it.

Bah. Helped one too many CAG and now I'm out of coupons. I'll pass on AoEIII but looks like I'm going to be on the corner with a sign for the Fable collection

Is it possible to get achievements through the games in the Microsoft bundle?

My quote from earlier.

Iron Brigade and ITSP both use GFWL only. GFWL = Xbox Achievements. All the games are Steam Keys from Amazon and therefore you need Steam to play them even if they use GFWL.

Thanks to both of you...very helpful to know.

Not sure if anyone replied to this (others have asked). There are two versions of AOE III Complete Collection. One has Steam DRM. Is the other one GFWL ? Or DRM free? (doesnt say)

As I've said and linked multiple times, the steam version of AoE 3 GFWL-free/DRM-free.

Dang, thought had one more coupon for NBA2k13. Crap.

Sweet, I got AOE III Complete, Arcade bundle, and Spec ops for $12.50. Thanks Tony.

Same situation as me. I activated Iron Brigade. Traded Deadlight + ITSP + Toy Soldiers for Chivalry, and Mark of the Ninja for Don't Starve.

Now I need to find someone with a coupon for another bundle so I can activate Mark of the Ninja lol

Great bundle!

He's asking about the DRM on the non-steam version.

His assumption is wrong. I'm interpreting that he wants a DRM-free version.

According to a MS rep here.

Just to clarify, Age of Empires 3 does not use GFWL at all. There are no steam or LIVE achievements on the game, and there is no DRM to limit installations / activations.

I believe the non-steam version on Amazon has GFWL (my non-steam version has GFWL).

So the Fable pack is a no-go?

Tony,

Not necessarily for a sale, but any chances of trying to get some of the older games from Activision/Blizzard for DD? I'd personally love getting to play Warcraft 2 again specifically.
