That Crysis promotion is so absurd. A forced time limit to upgrade to what amounts to 2 map packs for 20 bucks that if EA/Crytek hadn't closed down their DLC store would've cost you around 20 bucks anyway.

So don't buy it.

I heard cheapy talking about hard to get video cards. Last year I got 2 550 ti superclocked cards ruunning together. How far behind the curve am I? I found out about the 560 after I bought the 550 and a friend hooked me up with the other one to sli them.

Wrong thread, innit?

@Tony

No idea if you're back from E3 but a PM for Far Cry (don't think amazon has Far Cry as a download but Far Cry 2) would be nice.

Amazon has Far Cry as a download, but it's a "32-bit OS Only" type of situation; not sure if the STEAM version has this issue.
I too saw that sale at Gamestop and also noticed it's STEAM's Daily Deal.

Well, Steam lists Far Cry as "Supported OS: Windows 2000/XP (only)" don't know if this can be patched or whatnot, maybe someone who owns the game can clarify this?

People are claiming on the Steam forums that it works on Win 7 64

I've bought today Far Cry 2, and I've just played a hour on it, on a Laptop with Windows 7 64 Bit...

That's for Far Cry 2, we were talking about the first Far Cry.

That'd be awesome if Tony can PM; Amazon has the DRM-Free versions of Far Cry 1 and 2 [this was advertised during that Ubisoft BOBO deal Amazon had a few months back].

Okay so digging a little further in that same forum I found this thread:

Apparently, there is a patch that can be applied to make it run on 64-bit.

Hrm, too bad. I would rather have grabbed L.A. Noire from Amazon if I could get a price match, but time is running short on GameFly's sale. Shame Tony is so busy.

Did you submit to amazon directly? He did say someone reviews all of the price match requests

And how would I do that? When I looked it up everything says "Amazon has no price matching policy except for on TVs." so I figured Tony was the guy to talk to.

Under the Product Details it has a link for Tell Us About A Lower Price. It's no guarantee, but sometimes they do PM when you use the link.

Well I just emailed them directly. Who knows.


EDIT: Filled that out too; thanks for the info.

I just sent the PM info to amazon regarding FarCry1/2 through their "Tell us of a lower Price" link.

Amazon actually ran out of Arma keys 3/4 way through the sale; Tony said he would push to get it back on sale soon due to this.

Whoops! I actually miss-read his post: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/...postcount=3544

I wish, I don't think we'll get more keys before the 28th though. Yes, likely in June.

For some reason I thought the June sale was referring to Arma; my bad.

Guys sorry about the delayed responses. I've been in meetings nonstop. On a cool note I've gotten some cool videos/pictures to share soon including an interview and gameplay video of Hitman Absolution. I'll post the deals for next week soon (probably Friday or tomorrow if I get a free second).

Cheers,
Tony
