Glad you're getting some awesome gaming content for your new rig! There's a ton up for grabs at great prices right now.

We don't currently have a relationship with the new digital distributor for that game (recently changed). We're working on it though, I don't have a timeline though.

:( sorry man, are you saying your game won't launch at all now or just the DLC?

Glad you guys are digging the content . We're really trying hard to bring you some AWESOME DEALS!

Did you get this resolved?

Besides, if you google "Mount Blade: Warband amazon steam", you will find same results, unless your Warband is a box retail version

We're having an issue with some messaging on the page that we're trying to pull down. As soon as it is off the page we'll put it back up for sale. Hopefully early tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

This is one of those we had trouble classifying. I agree, not really casual, but more Indie in my opinion.

It's my main beef with the Amazon downloader with the DD system in place. I've got an SSD/128GB and I'm running out of space and don't want tons of writes on it. So, could you please try to get them hamster rolling on their wheel to let me allow the installer on a storage drive such as... E:? PLEEEEAAAASE? Edit: You're doing a top notch job Tony, I've pretty much resorted to Amazon for all retail purchases and subscribed to Prime because of your input and response to the community.

Thanks for the props man. As for the install location, this is something that we have on the roadmap but I don't have a timeline on yet.

What kind of games are you into? Avadon is pretty indie rather than casual. Also the Nancy Drew games do really well for us. I could provide better insight if I had some ideas around your taste.

Cheers,
Tony

You guys have issues with our download speeds? That's really surprising to hear we operate our technology on the same system that is used to process the data NASA gets from Mars.

Really surprised to hear about slow download speeds.

On the other hand, I downloaded L.A. Noire (somewhere around 12GB) pretty quickly today. Maybe two hours?

Pretty sweet deal on the DA bundle. I loved the story in the original DA, and enjoyed the character build in Awakenings. I haven't gotten around to playing DA2. The reviews are very disappointing, but I'm willing to give it a go at $5.

Thank you for your work, Tony.

Congrats T-Money on winning the CAG Community Award. I knew you would win because this is what I said in the last thread:

Hey guys if you haven't already then go vote for T-Money for CAG Community Award 2011 you know he deserves it. Especially putting up with some of us and still coming back.

Thanks for your great deals and better yet your overall interaction with us here.

Thanks man! You guys are the ones who deserve an award though. Going back through the first couple pages of posts is really fun. We've turned this thread into an awesome place to talk about games and deals!

Cheers,
Tony

That might be the the most weirdly dropped plug for AWS ever.

Fantastic sale, though. Probably going to pick up some of the THQ stuff and some Magicka DLC.

It's nice to see someone is willing and able to compete with Steam in a realistic way with real deals and good customer service. Amazon is definitely entering my goto circle of digital distributors alongside Steam and GOG.

Thanks for the clear up Tony. I did say screw it and bought the $4 dollar Sword of the Stars, glad to know I got the right one

Got a friend to pick it up too, but now we're having problems.

Both me and him downloaded the game and we both got corrupt files. Different computers, same internet connection. He d/led it first, then when his borked up, I d/led it, same bork time, same bork channel.

Thanks for any help.

Lol wasn't a plug, my first day at the company they told me we were launching the cloudfront delivery service and said "alright new marketing guy, write the communication for this"....I learned alot about how we deliver data that week.

I still feel like the dumbest human being on the earth whenever our engineers start trying to explain how it works though.

So you're getting the corrupt file after DL? Have you tried re-DLing? What ISP are you using? Have you contacted our CS group yet?

I'll ask our QA team about the game tomorrow too to double check.

Cheers,
Tony

Sorry, didn't mean plug in a bad way or anything - probably not quite the right word to have used. I just thought that was a really crazy fact to drop to illustrate that the download speeds for games should probably be pretty solid from Amazon.

Ended up buying Darkness 2, Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, and Avadon so far. Just a FYI, if you buy Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and activate it on steam, you will also get the base game too. I would also like to add my voice to the get a sale on Alan Wake: 60% off and me love you long time Tony. =)

So... there's no reason to buy the base game, then? Just go for Forged Alliance?

Well let me re-ask then.

What happened to the Silverfall expansion? Vai it disappear :C

Originally Posted by Tancred Well let me re-ask then. What happened to the Silverfall expansion? Vai it disappear :C

sorry thought i answered this. We had some QA issues with it so we decided to pull it from the sale. If we can get it re-qa'ed and ready to roll by the 15th we'll add it and i'll let you know

Cheers,
Tony

Yeah just put the code in for Forged Alliance in Steam and it will give you the base game, so really only paying $2.50 for each.

It got to the extracting stage and then said the file was corrupt. We didn't try re-downloading it on the same machine. His ISP is Time Warner, I think.

Trying to download it again now at home, on Verizon. I'll let you know tomorrow evening if it worked or not.

Thanks for the help!

Oh, I was just trying to get a feel on some of the more popular games on the casual list. I've bought quite a few games that I normally wouldn't buy based on user response and ended up having a blast with them.

As far as taste in gaming goes, I'm a fan of just about everything except hidden object type games.

Thanks for the reply and awesome deals Tony!

Well, that is better than being sold out. I thought you guys had already burned through your entire cache of keys and was totally bummed.

Also, for those considering LA Noire -- get it. The game is great even if I wasn't much on the ending. The DLC/Complete isn't really that good either. The cases really don't add much to the story or game.
