Tony stated previously that the system is set up to NOT allow free games after the credit is applied. Let me see if I can find the post...

Found it:

I don't think that's it because then they also screwed up the promo page which shows AssCred 1

I'd prefer it. I have the game, season pass, and some extra dlc from here and there. Since I beat it ages ago I'd like the rest of the dlc to dick around with here and there but the sale prices on the dlc by itself always suck. Costs more to buy my missing dlc than the full package but its not worth $7.50 to me.

AC2 is the best game, story-wise though.
I didn't care much for Revelations -- best part was the Intro.

Question: Does guild wars 2 come with a steam key? Amazon is rocking the holiday deals this year, Tony has really livened things up over there. Great job, man.

Never thought I'd say this, but: Eff steam (their holiday sale anyway, the worst ever). At least someone is picking up the slack, and doing a great job at it. Merry christmas everyone!

As a reminder: 1. Customers who purchased THQ/EA/Ubisoft/2K Digital Video games from Amazon will get a $5 credit to use on more games from the corresponding publisher. 2. Coupons for EA/THQ/UBisoft may be used on 12/25 only and only for products GREATER THAN $5. 3. Coupons for 2K may be used from 12/26-12/31 and only on products $9.99 AND ABOVE. 4. Customers may use 1 coupon per account per publisher this means if you purchased 1 or 30 games from each publisher you are still entitled to/eligible for 1 credit from each publisher. 5. If you purchased a 2K product on 12/24 your credit will be delayed as we need to pull information out of our system, which won't propagate for a few hours.

It's on the front page.

The email for EA clearly states ABOVE $4.99 but the Ubisoft one is a bit cryptic. Says priced at $4.99. That's a shame. So technically you are right.

Sorry, I don't follow this thread but the e-mail took me to a page that still to this very minute says it applies.

If it doesn't apply then I'm fine with Amazon taking my key away and refunding me but it still says it applies.

Thank you, I was curious about how it was going to work

Guild Wars 2 isn't on Steam so you won't get a Steam key.

I know. Read my post again. I said EA's email, not Ubi. I saw Ubi's says "priced at $4.99" Again, that's a shame and you are correct.

Well, I would've preferred to have them separately so I could give-away repeat items I had (SR:TT base game, that car DLC Tony gave out)...
....but, I didn't own most of the SR:TT content.

If I was like you and owed the SR:TT base game + Season Pass + some Extra DLC - yeah, I'd be in the same boat w/ you.

I guess it's b/c I spent $2.49 total (after $5 coupon - since I own most of the THQ stuff I already wanted and was missing most SR:TT DLC content) that I just am glad to have the REST of the DLC.

Now, I just need to find an Ubi game + EA game.
Since I own so many Ubi titles and ain't up for spending a fortune, I Am Alive looks like it might have to do.
Who knows what I'd want for an EA game, heh - I own so many EA games, it ain't even funny...

I can't find anything really on sale from EA, so I guess I won't be using the coupon...

On the otherhand, tough choice between SRTT:FP and DS Franchise.

Yeah, there was a bit of clarification needed on this previously. I actually didn't realize Tony had updated the OP to include that extra info. At least if you get CS to refund you, you should still have access to your promo credit, so it's not all terrible.

Pet Catz 2 FTW!


I ended up getting The Storming, Burning, Reflecting, Flaming, Sabotaging Pack from EA and will likely pick up R6V2 from Ubi.

Tony I just went to buy nexuiz and it is showing as 4.99 but according to the OP it should be .99 through today. Will it come back down to .99 today?

I'd buy it for $2.50 just not $7.50 but unfortunately I used my $5 on the darksiders pack for my nephews before realizing it was single use only.

According to the first post, the sale on Nexuiz ended on 12/24.

Ok, talked to a rep on the phone and he offered to give me back my gift card since it wouldn't let him retroactively apply the credit but he said their system is having problem with the promo so when you check out make sure it's being applied or call/e-mail them.
