The list is on the deals page. Darksiders 2 has been there since the start. I don't see Scribblenauts.

Wow these deals are great. Steam isn't even close.

I would love Amalur but damnit origin....

Also Tony, could you work on getting War of the roses down to $10, even for a day?

Are the AC games worth getting on PC? They seem like a good deal and I had traded in AC1 and Revelations. I've heard bad things about Uplay so I don't know.

What Amazon region locks? You mean Steam region locks?

The Amazon 'region lock' is not lying about your address...

I could be wrong, but I don't think the 30% off code will work with games that offer cashback

I mean the region locks applied to keys sold by Amazon (presumably by the publisher.)

It shouldn't (as it's stated), but it does for SD.

the 30% off code worked fine on Sleeping Dogs for me, got the game for $11.90 and I also got the $6 credit

I stand corrected. Also been told by another CAG that it does indeed stack, excellent deal!

Wait wait.
People *doubt* they'll use the $5 codes?

Man, I thought we learned that lesson last year.

Last year a lot of great deals popped up because of pricematching stuff and that stacking greatly with the coupons. This is all still very new to the guys at Amazon, they could have learned you know

It does, because I just bought it.

So many great deals are happening before January, I'm doubting I'll have anything left to buy by Jan, yeah. More than that, I'm presented with the problem of deciding whether I want to risk waiting to Jan and see if maybe Amazon can swing the same or better deal (including $5 coupon). They might can. They might not offer any deal on a game I want or might offer me a better deal then.

The uncertainty creates a scenario where I'm NOT buying games hoping they'll have a better deal in January. If they don't, I won't buy, which you'd think is not what they want. You'd think Amazon would want me to buy the game asap, which would be much easier to do if we had full information about what Dec vs Jan looks like. As it is, I've pretty much decided not to count on the $5 codes at all, which seems to be the point imho. Based on the logic of how uncertain what titles will use them and what the deals will be with them, it seems to me I'm not supposed to count on using those codes at all.

That's why I'm not considering them very much at all when deciding between Amazon or somewhere I have credit like Steam or Impulse (from trading in consoles to GS). The coupons would be great if I could use them on deals now. Basically, I get a $5 reward for buying one game to buy my next game (ie., kinda like the old coupon system that Kmart's CAG rep would run). That system compels you to keep "paying in" to Amazon once you start. They get continuous business, I get a coupon code for my next purchase. Put a date range on it and that keeps me ravenously searching out games to buy, like an addict.

As it is now, I already have more than 8 just from DLC and what not I've bought for far less than the $5. Given that, I can't imagine that by the time I get to Jan, I'll have 8+ games that I'll need to buy AND they'll have put on sale for prices at or lower than what's out right now sans code.

As it is, the current system seems to be built around me mostly ignoring the codes.

This. I'm betting they'll do a lot of repeat deals in January and I'll already have most of the stuff I wanted.

What a deal though sleeping dogs for 12 and 6 credit.

You can buy all of that DLC for $5 to go with the Steam version? If so, where?

Well i saw a 4 pack for heist: the payday, any chance for a dead island goty 4pack ?

Securom DRM check on S2: Gold Gamersgate version is annoying in my Win7 64-bit PC - as it happens w/ EVERY Boot-up, even though I already activated both keys already! I have to bring up Task Manager; close Task Manager; then switch to S2 Gold game for it to blow by the annoying DRM.

I am also interested in Steam keys for Sacred 2 Gold if Amazon plans to carry them. I have the game through another service but also hate the DRM and the Steam version appears to have removed that. If Amazon is not planning to carry it soon, then I may just jump on it through Steam.

I told a friend of mine about GMG Sleeping Dogs - he can't find the 30% off code anywhere - can someone link it or post it? Thanks

Edit: Nevermind I realized I should just check the GMG thread lol
