That's the weakest excuse ever.

I'm still debating on picking up The Darkness 2. Rented it and beat it on 360, really enjoyed it. Don't currently have a PC to play it on. I don't think it'll be this cheap again for a while.

Is there a chance that Dragon Age 2 will be sold separately with lower price (-75$, 4.99$)? I have DA1 Ultimate, and buying it second time would be a waste.

@Tony
Am I reading this right?

So, you buy say FIFA Soccer $12 for $20...
Then you can get Tiger Woods 12 ($10 value this week) and FIFA Manager 12 ($10 value this week) for FREE?

Do you get the $ back as a promo-code in your e-mail for EA Sports games?
Or it come off on your next checkout(s) that have EA Sports games in it?

We don't have this slated right now but I will kick it up the flagpole.

You are reading that correctly, if you buy Fifa Soccer 12 for $20 you'll get a $20 promo credit (directly into your account so you don't have to redeem a code) for any of the other games on sale. So you could us this to buy Tiger 12 and Fifa Manager 12 for free .

Wowsers!!! Nice deal!!
Now, if only we had a similar deal where 2K Games' MLB2K12 and NBA2K12 were, after everything, $20 [or less] together....

dang. i had to bite on crysis 2 even though i played through on the consoles already. damn you amazon!!!!

Hey, Tony, is there a Witcher 2 deal coming up anytime soon (the original premium version)? In talks with some CAG's to buy or trade, but I'd rather buy new (and use Amazon credit ). Thanks in advance, man.

It convinced me to spend $230 (before $30 rebate) to buy a 2nd 2gb 560 GTX card for SLI from Amazon just this morning, lol, as I wanted to run single player on all Ultra on a 40" hdtv (w/ DX11 tesselation & high def pack at ~60fps).

We are currently in conversation to start carrying the game again as distribution rights recently changed. I'll let everyone know once this has happened.

Tony did you ever get any word on Gray Matter, I've been wanting to buy the DL version but it's currently almost 2x the price of the physical version?

Tempted to get Fifa 12 for $20 with the $20 credit.... problem is, there are no other games in that sale that I want!

So I'm kinda leaning towards not buying Fifa 12 because I would waste the credit.... and I hate wasting stuff...

I'm the first one to cheerlead these great Amazon sales, but this sports sale leaves me a little deflated. I'm not a huge sports fan, but I do enjoy them and owned quite a few on the older consoles in years past (PS, Genesis, SNES, 3DO). I figured I'd try getting back into them with this sale... but most of these titles appear (from reviews, at least) to be just plain bad - or mediocre at best. Top that with the fact that the cheaper ones are going to be sporting out-of-date rosters and I'm having a bit of trouble finding a couple I can get behind.

Maybe a few suggestions from sports game fans?

-Madden 08 looks mediocre.
-The latest Tiger Woods game seems to be nothing more than a standalone expansion pack for Tiger Woods Online. You even have to eventually pay for multiplayer and there are lots of microtransactions if you're interested in better gear.
-NHL games got mediocre reviews

Only the FIFA games seem to be well liked, with 11 being the sweet spot in terms of score and price. I'm just not sure I need more than one FIFA game so I'd have a hard time finding a second game worthy of purchase.

I had no idea PC sports gaming was in such shambles. :(

Tony, feedback on the Spring Sale - too much Meridian 4. Otherwise... thumbs up.

I noticed that M&B: Warband had the message about Steam removed from the page, so does that mean that it will be going back on sale today, or should I be expecting a different time?

I sent this off but am still waiting to hear back from Viva, I'll follow up tomorrow.

Hey there,

Thanks for the feedback and it is definitely noted. To give you some insight into why we pull together so many deals from publishers like Meridian4 into our event based deals, we want to be good partners for all of the people who choose to sell their games on Amazon.com. As such, we need to provide them opportunities to participate in promotions, and give the customers who do want to play their games opportunities to buy them. That being said, we don't want to give up an entire deal of the week slot unless we're confident we're going to hit our target goal for the vehicle.

I can tell you that the Meridian4 stuff is performing really well in aggregate, and will definitely be considered a success.

As for the EA Sports deal, we've found that as a company we totally over-index for PC download sports titles so while they might not appeal to everyone or the normal crowd here (although some of your fellow posters seem to enjoy the deals ) Amazon definitely has a market for these games that we want to cater too...plus more PC sports games sales mean better PC sports games developed...which is a win win right?

Cheers,
Tony

I'm still showing the message under system requirements...can you take a Screenshot?

Hi Tony,

Can we use the promotional credit with other games or just the EA Sport games under BOGO deal?

Just the games on the BOGO.

I've never played a Fifa, Manager, or Tiger Woods game before, but this sale has me thinking.

Debating getting Fifa 12, then using the credit to get Tiger Woods 12, Fifa Manager 11, and NHL 09 for free. But being as I don't know if I'll like them, I may just spend the $5 for a B1G1. Decisions, decisions.

I'm all for better PC Sports games being developed, but in most cases it's the game and not the platform - i.e. all platforms got similar scores (but definitely not in the case of Tiger Woods 12!). I was sort of just expressing my surprise at that and my inability to find two titles to be excited about based upon reviews. I may go ahead and try Madden anyhow once you get that back up. Too bad you couldn't go back a year or two on the NFL and golf games as they seem to be markedly better.

Regarding Meridian 4. That's just my personal preference. They make lots of games and I even have a few. It just seems like they dominated the sale this time around. I'm glad they are selling well for you because that makes it easier to have more sales with other publishers.

You may want to read up on Tiger Woods 12. It's very closely tied into Tiger Woods Online and not in a good way (imo). I'm going to think about the 08 title, personally.
