I hope that the amazon DD service mythos continues to grow in complexity/absurdity.

Price for Amnesia has flipped for those waiting.

Tony,
If I click any of the 1st page links (with the CAG referral code) and then navigate to other products on Amazon and purchase them does the site still get the referral credit?

Thanks in advance.

I've been missing out! Sonic Generations is a steal at that price. The physical copy still runs you about $20-$25. I'm definitely going to look into more digital games. What's the DLC for Sonic Generations?

Mr. Pig will likely make appearances from time to time given that no one shouted about hating him. I imagine I'll use him to announce major sale events...who doesn't love a cute cat?

Yep, it is cookie based so as long as you click through on one of his links before purchasing (without clicking on another affiliate link like slickdeals) he'll get the credit...and not just for game purchases...for anything you purchase on Amazon for a set period of time.

Cheers,
Tony

+1 interest for Binary Domain, if it helps the cause!

I just got Sonic Generations and was pleasantly surprised to find it supported 3D via Side-by-side (which works on most, if not all, 3DTVs). Does anyone know if any other PC games have native 3D without having to use drivers outside of the game?

Hey T-Money,

I was wondering if you will have Dungeon Siege III for $5 that you had over the holidays because I am still kicking myself for not buying that?

Also it looks like THQ is having sales every where so they might be open to have a sale on Amazon PCDDs and I would pick Saints Row the Third Season Pass if you could get it under $10.

Just some ideas for weeks deals. Thanks for all the amazing deals and communication like always.

Any word on when Mass Effect 2 can drop to $5 again? My insignificant other has been wanting to play it, and we missed the last time it dropped to $5.

In other news, I just purchased one of those $10 GC for $5. It's kinda silly, making a big fuss over saving $5 but still. Will probably end up using it on hopefully a great deal in the upcoming weeks.

Sonic Adventure 4 activates on Steam right? I'm thinking about ordering a copy.

Yeah, I am surprised there isn't more buzz here about the Amazonlocal deal getting a $10 giftcard for $5. I just did it, got the gift card within 5 minutes and have already bought Amnesia and Penumbra Collection. Effective price after gift card, $2.50 each!!!

Bit on Amnesia, thanks Tony!

The Season Pass DLC is selling for $10 right now on Gamersgate. It's not THQ so they can't claim unfair publisher advantage to that sale. ;-)

Amazon on the other hand is giving 4 cents off of it. *chuckle* I imagine that must be a system generated discount or something. I can't see hamsters turning for 4 cents.

What's the verdict on the Penumbra pack? As good as/better than Amnesia? Will I like it if I'm into RE4/5 or Dead Space?

Mainly, the clunky controls kept me from the original RE games, but if this handles better...

Noticed it has a seperate thread on it, just surprised no one mentioned it in this thread until this morning. It's a match made in heaven for Tony's deals and price matches.

Thanks guys! I definitely forwarded on a note to my boss, who manages the Sega relationship, about this last night. Stay tuned!

I'm working on this for an upcoming sale in early April, hopefully I'll have more news this week.

I'll have more news on an ME 1 & 2 sale again towards the end of this week .

Gamersgate is an international retailer, which we don't match unfortunately. Their business model and agreements are too radically different to support that kind of program.

My neighbor is actually my counterpart at Amazon Local, I'm going to give him crap for not mentioning this to me.

Cheers,
Tony

Just out of curiousity, who do you guys pricematch? Steam, Gamestop DD (aka Impulse), Gamefly PC Downloads (aka Direct2Drive), anyone else?

I played through most of the first penumbra. It is a first person adventure game and handles exactly like a FPS (minus the weapons) so it definitely handles better than the original RE games (I hate how those handle as well). It's a great game IMO if you know what you are expecting (an adventure game with first person controls). Some people seem to have wanted more combat in the game and dislike it because of that, but that's not what the game is about at all.

I almost want to bite on Sonic 4, but I think eventually Amazon/Steam will have that 75% off for $2.49.. probably when episode 2 comes out.

The Penumbra games are great. A lot of people (including myself) feel that combat in the first games is one of the worst elements. Thankfully, in the later games they removed combat and focused on the puzzles, creepy environments, and avoiding enemies rather than fighting them. Not surprisingly, they went with this format afterwards in Amnesia.
