Crap so it went to $5 while I was playing a game and it's not available now, rats!

yay, it's dead! now we can all Have: Hotline Miami keys Want: $5 amazon gift card




=)

The fact that they raised the price on the bioshock bundle had me thinking there wouldn't be anything completely free this year so $2.50 was probably going to be it. Oh well, $2.50 is still a good deal.

I used my last coupon to get a free copy since I've spent more money than I intended to already anyway. I guess I'll give it to a friend, though if someone has some spare steam repeat game I might not have you could PM me.

Also face the Steam deal came up at the same time, so maybe that jumped them into PM mode. I dont mind if he doesnt give us hints on possibles. Surprises are nice

In defense of everyone who bought it for $2.50, this sale DOESN'T make sense. The only place there is for Hotline Miami to price matched to $5 is Steam, but it's a flash sale, so there shouldn't be a price match happening here.

The only real odds of this being down to $5 would have come from a price match with GameStop or GameFly, if they happened to have it on sale for $5 (which they don't).

My only guess is that this is a glitch, or that someone on Tony's team got a price match request through the "See it cheaper somewhere else?" button and price matched the flash sale without knowing what they were doing.

Or Tony loves us?

Got the free Hotline Miami, fun game so far.

Almost a guarantee.

Do we have hints as to what other additions may be?

DAMMNNNNN missed Hotline Miami.

It disappeared between my clicking "Download and Buy" and putting in my password.

I'm never using Amazon again.

I'm organizing a class-action lawsuit.

In my country it is illegal to let customers click "download and buy" and then not provide them with a bought download.

Not sure what happened to this thread to make it so argumentative over the last few hundred messages, but folks just need to take a step back and realize that like any retail business, the business climate changes and companies adjust and make changes all the time. Just continue to be guarded with your own funds and only buy when it's the near top 75% off or < $2.50. Hotline Miami in previous deals was 50% off and $5.00 which should make it an automatic pass if you are looking at it as a true CAG. I'm now pretty much at the point of skipping every 75% off deal for 1 game (looking at you KoToR 1&2) since games are cheaper in bundles and GMG typically has 75% off + 30% coupon on top of it.

I also don't know why anyone tries to hold them that they won't be matching flash deals. Maybe it was stated fairly clearly, but I didn't see that it was hard coded and always saw it as they "generally" won't match flash deals. It seemed to be more of an issue with time and how often they have to wake the hamsters than anything else.

Like that posting with the Dumb and Dumber skit, things are not 100% certain so like with every digital game out there, unless you plan to play it right now, it will probably get cheaper in a month/year, etc..Lesson is that you should almost always wait.

Hotline Miami will eventually show up in a humble bundle for a buck so unless you had to play it right now, it's pretty obvious that the price will drop like all other indies. One reason that if you want to save coin and buy indies, wait till you only bundles and skip them all till then.

*edit*

That's not very nice, 7 other people could have gotten a copy.

To anyone who bought TSW last night, like I did, but haven't been able to play it yet...About an hour or two ago I created my character, started some of the storyline, then quit. Then I went to the store on the TSW site and was able to claim issue #5, so you should still be able get it if you bought it last night.

Nope, nvm.
