Are you serious? I thought you were royaly screwed and was trying to help out. But your upset cause you don't have your 1-click settings right? So you CAN buy the game, but merely refuse to punch in 16 digits to get it? Am I understanding this right?

Amazon needs such a thing to make a serious bid for digital game distribution and carve out market share. Well that and allowing multiple digital games to be added to the cart before checkout. Little things that make big impacts. Push Tony push!

Yeah I bring it up every week...fact.

Like gifting, we're still getting 1 click functioning with Game Downloads purchases. There are a battery reasons behind this, not all of which are technical.

Can you try putting your credit card number in when it prompts you to in the purchase process?

Cheers,

@TONY

YES please!!!
We need to be able to add multiple digital games to one order.

BTW - Amazon MP3 division needs to do the same thing!!
I want to be able to throw multiple MP3 albums in ONE order!
Pass that along to them, will ya?

Haha, yea I agree, we're on a lot of the same systems so I'm sure one will follow the other (hopefully).

IF you want to hear more about DAO PC vs. consoles, watch GameSpot's review for DAO from Kevin Van Ord. About DA2 PC version - for Win Vista + Win 7 users, it also has DirectX10/11 support and High-Res Texture support. It's on the very bottom of the page to the website I'm gonna link, if you looking for The High-Res Textures.

Yea, I built myself a rig after purchasing the games to play pc games instead of just console games. And it can definitely handle the games, being phenom II x6 and and HD 6770 card. So then it sounds like it's worth the trade from 360 to pc. I'll tale a look at those links as well.

Thanks.

man, i havent played these games yet and I got them the last time for the same price

Such is the dreaded backlog (maybe not so dreaded, but hey).

I've got so many awesome PC games wanting to be played (LA Noire, Fallout 3 GOTY, Alice: Madness Returns... and now DA:OU and DA2), but unfortunately I'm still waiting on a new laptop that can play them (meaning that I'm waiting on money).

The Dragon Age series is so much fun though. It can get old, but I always find myself picking it up a year or two later and playing through it again until I get tired of it again. I've never beaten it, but that's why I love Bioware games. Every play through is different and loads of fun.

re: DA1&2 360 vs PC

DA1 is definitely a made for PC game. It was in development for years and designed around the PC so the controls are definitely more geared toward keyboard and mouse.

DA2 on the other hand was definitely designed around the consoles. I personally did not notice a huge difference with the supposed hi-res texture pack, but maybe I am just picky. I know with some games the difference between regular and hi-res textures is like night and day but I didn't feel that way here. To be honest, I don't imagine there is a huge difference between DA2 360 and PC. Also, and this is just my opinion here, DA2 is the far more inferior game between the two.

Also, FWIW DA2 PC does not have controller support. Actually, neither of them do but DA2 you can tell was pretty well designed to be playable with a controller vs DA1 which quite obviously was not.

you have to think again fifa 12 to 10$ or 15$?

Agree 100%. The original game was designed as a "spiritual successor" to the Baldur's Gate series and works fairly well in that context. It's not perfect; after you play it, you see how structured and binary the story actually is, but the story and the world are interesting and the NPCs are fleshed-out entities and the combat system, while not as great as we were led to believe during the seemingly-infinite development phase, was still pretty good. It plays better on PCs. The second game had combat dumbed down in profound ways and is easily controlled using a standard controller on a console (I played the entire game on a PC and played the demo on my PS3).

Hey, sorry to re-ask this, but have you heard any news on whether the Sword of Islam DLC will be included in the Paradox Package?

I did hear back on this, negative, it won't.

Fair fair. Cheers anyways.

Tony, i was wondering what next weeks (if there is going to be one), deal is? I would like to know so i can decide, buy a usb flash drive or wait for a video game deal.

I bought the last two bundles, mass effect 1 + 2, dragon age origins ultimate + dragon age 2. These were my favorite games on the 360, beat them once but wanted them for the pc

We have a battery of deals, including the Paradox stuff I've mentioned previously and a barrage of 2K/Rockstar and EA stuff all starting on Sunday.

Still waiting to hear back from some of our other publishers, but we'll likely have more as well.

Cheers,
Tony

O snap, break out the barrages and batteries!

Any possibility of Heart of Irons III Complete being apart of the sale?
I totally understand if not...

Yes please more deals would be great. I am having withdrawal because signs are starting to point to the Steam summer sale starting late this year.

Rockstar, you say? Hmmm...Is Max Payne 3 on the list?

2K, huh? Is....Darkness 2 hitting below $10? :P
About EA - Syndicate finally hitting $10? :P

I just bought the combo pack even though I own both of these on 360. I wanted to try Origins on PC since I've heard that's the best version. Then I couldn't pass up getting 2 for 2.50 more so I got that too. Thanks
