Finally bit on The Secret World, played the beta and loved it minus the typical sub fee. So 13$ seems perfect for a mmo. I just wonder how they are planning to pay for the game now that it is buy to play.

There is no such thing as enough disk space

It looks to me like monthly $5 expansions (that are supposed to fo free after some amount of time), on top of the usual clothes, XP boots, etc.

OMFG THAT IS amount of hard drives on 1 pc. Do you actually have that many drives in your PC or is it all partitions. If its not partitions do you mind adding a pic of your PC, so I can see how huge it must be with all those HD?

Here is a pic below for proof. But I do not know if you still get the Initiate Pack and Issue 5 if you hold on to your key and activate the game on a later date. http://i.imgur.com/Ifl3l.jpg

Meh, I'm a moron for buying TSW for $24 on New Year's Eve b/c that was "supposedly" the last day to get those freebies.

In for 2

Is that just a bunch of partitions or do you really have like a dozen 300GB drives? Haha. I have 3 2TB drives myself.

Just noticed the OP got updated. Like the FAQ's section too.

I'm on the fence with Hotline Miami, would like to buy it, but all those reported problems and complaints on steam discussion forum are putting me off. Anyone here have problems running this game? (On Win 8)

Just bit on TSW...so, what's all this talk about free content and such?

Thanks a lot for this, it convinced me to hold out and wait for Amazon deal instead of Steam. Missed the first Darksiders Franchise sale on Amazon :/

That is insane. My hat is off to your uber pc.

Damn, well I'm glad I have a 4TB HD.

Wow!! Fantastic job, Tony, on the new structure of the OP! I really like it. It's informative for new CAG's & vets alike. The choices you made on the placement of topics, the font size, the numbered FAQ's, including the console currecy, and just really impresses me. With past iterations I could take them or leave them, but if they functioned well for you, that's what counted the most. It seems like you struck a perfect balance now (I hope).

I just wanted to give props where they are due, and the OP (or the 1st 2 posts) is remarkable, bud. It's clear, concise, and keeps me from having to go back & forth between normal font size & squinting. Keep up the great work!

I didn't realize Amazon sells Microsoft Points digitally. Now if I buy a GFWL game I can get the DLC without giving MS my credit info(I've had issues with their customer service in the past).

Keep up the good work Tony.

Thanks for the new look on the OP. Great work Tony . Now only if you guys sold Bioware points as well

Hmm, another thought on price match requests (apart from the "less us about a lower price" on Amazon product pages would be to have a link to another thread with a wiki'd OP where people can post their post their price match requests. What do you think?

I know I'm not the only one sick of the endless repeats of pricematch requests -- doubly so for the ones without the decency to link to both other sale and the corresponding Amazon product. (Esp, since a good segment of requests aren't on Amazon DVG, e.g. Bethesda, Torchlight 2.)

Tony - any chance of seeing Dark Souls again in January with the coupon option? I missed the deal and feel bad about it as it was my only gam of interest :-/

You got a really good Bloomfield to get that OC on air. Is it a D0 stepping, or do you know? Great rig, too.

Is having the 6990+6970 the same as tri-crossfire 6970's, or is it like Nvidia where you only get the least common denominator (so to speak)?
