Bah knew I should have stayed up later and tried for the Bioshock bundle for free.

Ohs well, you win some and you lose some.

8 coupons. Probably pick up a 2k pack or two tomorrow, Dark Souls, and maybe Darkness 2 if I don't get it in a 2k pack. Mass Effect 3 is a possibility as well. Have to play the rest by ear depending on how deals change and what items get added.

Picked up The Secret World after days of waiting. Thanks Amazon! You can redeem the TSW key directly through Funcom's website. Make an account here: https://register.thesecretworld.com

and pop your key from the Games Library in the lower left "Key Registration" window.

Does anyone know how long the BF3 Premium price will be $24.99?

Ahhhh! TSW client d/l speed is slow (jumps between under 2 hours to 15 hours. Lol). Everyone that bought it on Amazon slowing it down?

Tony's answer...

I would say there is no chance right now until the rights for it get sold off.

Amazon's DL speeds are notoriously not great. Sometime they are just average to downright bleh. No where near Steam speeds, but still way faster than Origin typically.

EA has the non-Steam publishing rights so I'm guessing zero.

38 Studios, now better known as "The State of Rhode Island", has the exclusive rights to sell through Steam. There are no retail Steam versions of KoA.

Amalur is self published on Steam, EA everywhere else. The only way you're getting a Steam copy is via Steam sale.

Slim pickings on EC, eh. I want BF premium for PC, but Ive already spent enough on that game.

Don't download The Secret World through Amazon's servers, do it through Funcom's.

After you register your key with Funcom, use this to download:

I'd love to see Arkham City GOTY for $7.50.

Can you actually still download the TSW client from Funcom themselves?
It's definitely how I did it w/ the TSW Beta.

EDIT:
Good call, Realwords.
I thought so:

Hi, first, happy new year to all of you! I just woke up and found that "Amazon.com 2012 Editor's Choice Games" prices and variety are lackluster. You see, all those prices you put there are not better than any other sale I've seen on this holidays (or previous sale) except XCOM, Hotline Miami and Dark Souls (and of course I have them all from previuos preorder or sales) and prices are not good enough to gift or have second copies.

I thought we were having a similar or better experience like past year were every day from december was a purchase, and I got several games for free on January. This holidays I've spent less than $50 bucks on sales including Amazon, Steam, Gamersgate, GMG. Steam sales sucked so hard... I just hope that Tony sees this and put more games at really aggresive prices just to take us the little money we have in our banks. I feel like they are taking care of our wallets.

Thanks Tony for your presence here, its really appreciated!

Yup...that's what I did. It's at 1.71MB/s now, but goes down to 300KB/s to a max of ~3.10MB/s. Now at 800KB/s. I think it will be done tomorrow. :(

Edit: After some research, I ended up closing the client d/l and restarted it. Now I'm at a pretty steady 1.5MB/s (but it had to start over)...better than it jumping around though.

Classy, as usual.

Coupons are good all month. Note the games you'd like if they go on a "real" discount and play the waiting game.

like most CAGs I have almost everything I want from the current editor's choice list, however I'm hoping for XCOM and War of the Roses to hit 50% off at some point in January

Same. I now only have 4 things left on my "to buy" list and Amazon only carries 2. Of which I doubt I'll see one hit my price point (FC3) and the other I'm hoping will come back on sale (not necessarily EC) because I'm kicking myself for not getting it earlier (Syndicate).

Edit: Though I am keeping an open mind to any potential impulse buys.

Hell yeah. Can't say no to hotline miami for 2.50.
