Well it didn't help that I turned it into a mini-novel. LazyTriangle's post was perfectly sufficient and he summed it up in one sentence.

The price hasn't been revealed yet, but it's below $9.99. This will be the deal of the week next week, but for a 2 hour window tonight, we'll be getting a preview of next week's deal with the additional discount. I'm guessing it will be about $8.99. This deal will be announced during a webcast here tonight. It'll be a home shopping network kind of setup, except it will be for video games. At some point during the broadcast, they will announce the package and the price as well as providing us with a link to the store page on Amazon that we need to go to to buy it. EDIT: Damn, I'm a slow typer. was already posted several minutes ago by a couple of other CAGs.

Thanks to all who responded. I really appreciate it. Also, feel free to flame me for being in New Jersey. I live here but I'm NOT FROM here! Flame away!

I hope it's not getting a better sale than the $26 preorder price any time soon, personally. That's already rather low for a several hundred hours game.

You guys are worse than kids at Christmas!

"is game-x going to be on sale?"
"ooh, will game-y be cheap?"

And then Tony says, yes they will be on sale! So you all start to speculate with prices...

"This will be $5" or "This will be $10" and then if the game is NOT that price, you are all sad and if it IS that price, you expected it anyway....

And on top of that, when the cheap prices do hit, you are all "man, we already knew about those prices, are there any MORE prices we did not know about?"

Honesty... worse than kids before Christmas....

Oh yeah, and get off my damn lawn you CAGers!!!

Tony, could you share what the view numbers are for the gamespot black friday show after todays? Was just curious. I see the views on the webpage as well, but wasn't sure if that included live watchers...

Here are the hints btw:
Deal Hint #1: With a little help from some seeds and a liquid gun you'll have your tricky machinery up and running in no time.

Deal Hint #2: Hey there fortunate son, grab your passport and Nova-6, it's time to head to Russia.

Deal Hint #3: Control or be consumed in a concrete jungle filled with hideous monsters and horrific plagues.

you have two copies because one of them is for mac.

Deal #1: Vessel
Deal #2: CoD: Black Ops
Deal #3: Prototype Bundle

It's possible we could see all three deals have a DVG version available this week!

I activated a GTA bundle after VC was removed. My inventory has VC.

Will both Prototype games activate on Steam?

Yep. Confirmed last night by Tony a page or two back.

checked the forums after reading your post and i will be passing on the deal as well even if there was an option to buy the second one indiviually unless there is an official fix which is unlikely since this game has been out for quite awhile now.

I was extremely embarrased but I showed him the forum thread I made there and screenshots from my ticket with support and advised him to contact them.

You asked them to refund the game you bought for the trade. They did. When they did so, that game was no longer paid for, so it was removed from Steam from whoever had it. They aren't going to let someone get a refund and keep the game.

Take your beef up with guy who traded a game that wasn't as described. Or make sure to report him to steam as a bad trader.

As to VC, from what I've heard complete packs still include it. The lack of a store page just means it isn't listed in the inventory description.

Make sure you pay attention to which prototype page you are on. we have all konds of labels for which one is all steam and which one is mixed. I know folks had some trouble last tume we offered steam and non steam.

Cheers,
Tony

Bump.

Thanks for the heads-up, Tony. Looking forward to the show later today!

Full transparency time, sometimes, getting these bundles approved requires a leap of faith on the other side of the fence. In order to make this leap less scary I've been pitching the 2 hour deal as a way to see how customers respond before committing to a full 24,48,72 hour deal or deal of the week.

I've got a couple stupid awesome deals lined up to test this way. The ones that do well will get repeats and likely more cool bundles from the publishers involved, the ones that don't do awesome will fade away...like dust in the wind .

Cheers,
Tony

Are people having trouble with the Steam version of prototype or the non-steam?

If Xanchui is around here's links for that Slickdeals post:

How does this deal have only 2 thumbs up? Hopefully it is as super awesome as I thought it would be :(.

Cheers,
Tony

Hey Tony, any chance we get our Black Ops II keys before 12a PST so we can pre-load it?
