who's gonna start a list of best 'free' games to get with the coupon?

i'm leaning towards hotline miami - finally can get it for free. If the coupon worked on physical games, I'd get mafia 2 (lots of folks are selling it for $10 in the amazon marketplace).

but i'll wait and see if Tony's got any good sales before it expires.

Customers who have recently purchased downloadable PC games from Amazon.com might also be interested in saving $10 on software downloads.

You could probably use it on one of the tax applications or maybe a virus scanner/internet security perhaps.

That's pretty weird, as I got a lot of games from Amazon DVG recenty and I didn't get a coupon or an email whatsoever o.O

If it helps, the subject line is "$10 Off Any Software Download at Amazon.com". You get a 16-character code in the e-mail.

I wouldn't mind if amazon offered a free version of far cry 3

Confirmed that it works. Been wanting to get Scrivener for a while, this gave me a good excuse.

If you have any interest at all in creative projects - novel, screenplay, comic book, NaNoWriMo (which is where I first encountered this app) - it's well worth a look.

Thanks Tony!

Move that bad-boy up to the top of your list!

It doesn't? I don't see that fine print anywhere in the e-mail or the T&C.

I would guess that Amazon doesn't consider games as "Software Downloads", which I think is a weird and misleading distinction.

The Amazon "Department" is "Digital Games and Software" with the subcategories "Game Downloads" and "Software Downloads" so it seems pretty clear-cut the way it's presented on the Amazon storefront.

any software to recommend? dunno what to buy with the $10 software coupon :\

I'll probably use my coupon on Turbo Tax. It's something I buy anyways and $10 off seems like free money as I need it anyways.

Same here. Odd promo.

Don't think so as I haven't gotten any e-mails from Amazon in the past few days. Checked spam box too just in case, nothing there as well.

Is it possible it concerns just the month of February? I think I haven't purchased games since the January promos ended.
