Great news Tony, this would be amazing since I'm mostly interested in DRM-free games By the way, I had the opportunity to get 4 Ubisoft games in the previous sale, but I missed Assassin's Creed. Any chance to see it soon again in a next sale?

Already have Sonic and the Dreamcast collection, but the 48 classic games look appealing.

The gift card deals works for this right?

Yes it works

My GC mail confirmation finally arrived!. Waiting for the next sale madness to spend it. I'm on the fence for shogun 2, but I don't know if my Laptop would handle it. I just got a GT445

It looks like it sort of works on Steam. From the top review:

I also found out that at some point I had purchased "SEGA Genesis Classics Series 1" through Steam and now the rest of this pack is playable through Steam since it's all added to the original install folder.

Your subconscious is keeping you away from the game

Yes, but don't just take the pass/fail at face value, actually scroll through and see what failed and by how much. The only thing it failed me on (for Shogun 2) was video memory for my graphics card, saying that I only had 236 available, but it's an actual 256 meg card. It also says I only have 20 GB available, when I have 226GB free.

Awesome tool by the way. Thanks for the link.

Gift Card Deal is over; AmazonLocal was running a promotion where you could get a $10 GiftCard for $5 [happened yesterday, they sold out about 14 hours into it; one day thing only].

Yes, your computer can probably run the Genesis games. What's your GPU?

if I buy the Amalur DLC (Legend of Dead Kel) would the code work for the Steam version of KoA?

some more specs

amd phenom x4 9500 quad core processor

6gb of memory

640 hard drive

nvidia geforce 6150 se graphics

vista 64 bit home

The only version of KoA that works on Steam is the one purchased from Steam.

And just to add to that, generally mixing EA Games on Steam with EA DLC not from Steam does not work and vice versa. In fact I think it's pretty much safe to assume anytime you see anything to do with EA that it will not work on Steam unless you buy it on Steam.

Might as well remind folks that the Steam key that Amazon gives you for Renegade Ops activates both the core game and the DLC packs (Coldstrike and Reinforcements). Makes it a really good deal, since you're getting the core game for half off and the DLC for free. Of course, the PC version is known for having more jankiness than the console versions, and AFAIK, they haven't released a patch to fix some of the more commonly reported issues, so I guess that's the trade-off.

I was going to reply with a techie affirmation of this, but it seemed too long-winded. I'll just boil it down to: yes, this is accurate, and Tony's not bullshitting. Changes, however minor, take a lot of time on a system of that scale and complexity and the process it has to go through is complicated. It's no small feat to add.

It'll be awesome to have a clear indication on the page, and not having to tab to Google or Wikipedia to check will be nice. And this lessens the number of Steam/Origin questions, potentially.

Wo0t @ KOA:R - Dead Kel DLC being sold on Amazon DL.
I'm gonna have to keep my eyes on Amazon DL, if they gonna keep selling DLC to EA/Origin games!
Gonna be watching for the sales - whenever they might come!

Since you guys are selling an Origin-required game's DLC, Can you guys convince EA to allow you guys to sell ALL the DLC for Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2? :P
I'm missing A LOT of ME2 and DA2's DLC, since I don't wanna deal w/ BioWare Store b/c you have to turn your $ into [silly] BioWare Points.
