I don't recall how GOG works, but Steam has an active DL service that keeps reconnecting if your connection gets dropped. Not sure if Amazon does they same, they might need a steady connection for the length of the DL. Why does your internet drop every 30 minutes? Do you have a way to connect directly with ethernet cables?

I can't speak for sure, but if you just compare the notes, then no. The Amazon version is missing:

• Gamer Bundle
• Holiday Spirit Item Pack
• Horror Props Item Pack
• Lonely Island Cruise
• The Stars are Left

If I were you and I was trying to get everything, I'd buy the Collection now, and these:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...eapassgam08-20
http://www.amazon.com/Magicka-Horror...eapassgam08-20
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...eapassgam08-20

They're all a few cents more than the lowest price they've been on Steam.

And for the other two, I'd wait for a Steam sale.

not sure why it drops like that. it is connected via ethernet cables, not wireless.

Finally a sale on Syndicate, but the game was enough of a flop I'll hold out longer.

I've been wanting to get Darkness II for PS3 or 360, but for $12 (actually $0 after I used an old gift card), I couldn't pass this sale up.

Yes it does

Vibration with this game in particular is very powerful too

Have you tried contacting your ISP? I had an issue similar to this. My Internet would drop about 30 times a day and I got fed up and called and when a tech came out there was faulty wiring coming into the house that caused the drops. Hasn't dropped since, this was like 4 months ago.

The price for M&B Warband isn't showing for me.
Does it activate oon steam?

Any way Dragon Age Ultimate can be $5, the bundle (1 and 2) is $9.99 but separately DA:U is like $26 and I already own DA2?

Just buy the pack and trade the DA2 code?

You'll get three keys, one for the Dragon Age Ultimate (the base game and expansion), one for the DLC for DAO, and one for DA2. You're free to give anyone you want the keys you don't need, when I bought it I had Origins and Awakening but was missing most of the other DLC, so I gave that key away and activated the DLC for myself. BTW, if you have purchased any DLC and do that (I already had Warden's Keep), you won't be able to gift your "extra" copy of the dlc.

Just picked up CKII, activated on Steam with no problems. When I saw there was a big deal on downloadable titles I was hoping for one on this game, but I didn't think the deal would be this good. Thanks Amazon!

Only picked up The Darkness so far. My wallet has been taking a hit since coming to this thread more often... more so than when just Steam was offering sales. Thanks Tony

Just built a PC and was wondering if The Witcher 2 ever goes on sale? Or should I just grab a boxed copy for $30?

I'm interested in a couple expansions / DLCs for games I own on Steam. In particular, i'm looking at Majesty 2 or maybe the Pirates of the black cove game. Any idea if these expansions are compatible or will i need to repurchase the base game?

Update: That would be a no for Majesty 2. Bought the expansion and the base game would no longer launch.

Exactly the same as you on this, I think I spent more in the steam sales but I still haven't finished with these Amazon sales yet.

So far bought LA Noire and Crysis, was thinking about darkness but not sure if I would like it.

What you think?

@Tony
I think you missed my question, the other day...or forgot to respond to it....

So, any idea yet what the DRM on Elven Legacy Collection is?
Thanks!

Is multiplayer dead for Space Marine?
