Why are you saying damnit? Even if he gets them on sale really fast, 2.50 is not likely a price that's going to get beat.

Hey tony any chance of bringing the prototype pack/bundle back?

Hey everyone - I don't stop in this thread much anymore, but I just wanted to tell Tony that he does an amazing job with these sales / promotions! Amazon really kicked butt in the downloads department this year for me, and these ECC are yielding some amazing deals. Keep up the good work!

Long time reader, first time poster (hey, it works on the radio). First, big thanks to Tony for all the info and the great deals. Just wanted to toss in my related comments (and demands!)

Approximate Dollar breakdown since Nov 16:
Steam - $15 ($12.50 of which was Walking Dead in November, only bought 2 games during the winter sale, one as a gift and one as a joke)

Amazon - $33

GMG - $10

Other (Humble Bundle, Groupees, etc) - $14

I rarely make pre-orders, but when I did (Borderlands 2) it was only because the price point got so low. But I really don't think people on this site are the target market for pre-orders. As such, for people here I'd think offer #4 is most likely to get purchases if it's low enough, but it's competing against the GMGs of the world.

As for my "demands," any chance at all of a bundle deal of Dragon Age 2 and all it's DLC? Doesn't seem like EA wants to release a GotY type package for it.

And since THQ is (probably) going under and Tony seems to have a good relationship with them, any chance of seeing some sort of insane last day of THQ deal on the 21st? Something like every THQ game ever for $20 or something? Just a thought.

Oh and to anyone worried about the save bug in Walking Dead, just be sure to start the next episode before turning the game off after finishing an episode. Seems to avoid most potential issues. Also, now that all 5 episodes are out, doesn't seem to happen as much as when there were breaks between them.

And for anyone who likes MMORPGs, Kingdoms of Amalur is fantastic and really scratches that itch, especially for those of us that can't put the time into a MMO any more. And Origin isn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be.

And regarding that EA deal, my copy of Bulletstorm from last January just registered on Origin just fine about an hour ago.

Anyway, back to lurking :-)

Starts 1/9 - PC Download - EA Bundle (Bulletstorm, Burnout, Mercenaries 2, Mirror's Edge, The Saboteur) - $14.99 pre-coupon, added to EC list $9.99 after coupon

This is where bundles don't work for me since I've got Bulletstorm, Burnout, and Mirror's Edge. I'd love to pick up Mercs 2 and Saboteur for a few bucks. That's a really nice package for the price though.

Wow. I would be more inclined to want to buy a pack with all of those combined. In fact, I would be inclined to buy at least three complete packs.

Nice find on searching for 1000728511, whomever suggested that.

I thought I only had 1 credit but apparently there was one from November lingering around my email.

Same here. I would have loved Mercs 2 and The Saboteur for $2.50 each. I did end up buying the pack and selling the extra games. Which I just sold for $5

I would think it would be difficult to do something like that if there weren't a GOTY edition, since EA does all their DLC sales through their site. (It is the reason why newer EA games aren't on Steam. Valve wants customers to be able to buy DLC through their client.)

I think its just a Bioware thing, because you can buy Kingdoms of Amalur DLC on amazon. I was in the market for the ME2/ME3 DLC and I could only find it through Bioware if I bought Bioware points and spent them through the Bioware site (though ME3 lets you do it through the Origin interface.)

TSW update regarding copying files to another computer:

Just attempted to copy the default C:\Funcom folder to an external and move it to another computer.

Ran into an issue, when copying - Saying it couldn't find the H:\Funcom\The Secret World\RBD folder. Did this for 15 files. Only copied 20 GB.

Transferred to other computer, ran ContentPatcher.exe, verified files, and then started downloading 9 GB worth of files.

I would imagine that others will have a better success rate at this as I think my external drive was running out of space and didn't know where to put the rest of the files. Either way, 9 GB as opposed to 30+ is still considered a win in my book.

I did this a few days ago from my desktop to NAS and NAS to Laptop and had no problems.

Yeah we'll have it for $12.99 pre-coupon on 1/29-1/31

Yep, we're still locking down the schedule but I'll let you know once it is.

No plans yet, I'll hit up Ubi though.

NAS?

Disappointed in the EA bundle. $10 is the normal sale price for it and I think it's been run at least a couple of times. Back when I bought it, there was a universal coupon code that took $2.50 off of it making it cheaper than this.

Network Attached Storage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network-attached_storage

For those not technically inclined basically it is a device with one or more hard drives attached to a network for access from other computers.

Its a great device to have and I can't imagine not having one at this point.

Does anyone else have a $19.94 credit for "Software/Video Games" on their account that they can't use on anything?

I thought I had one more $5 coupon from that first Gamespot Prototype bundle, but I can't seem to find the email.

*Nevermind...I forgot that I received credit for the free to play games like AirMech*

Its probably FTP stuff. I really wish they had a way for you to easily see all the credits on your account and what they are for.

Originally Posted by espy605 Just for reference, Steam had AOE3 complete for $10, Fable 3 Complete (not vanilla) for $12.50, Deadlight for $7.50, Mark of the Ninja $7.50 and Fable TLC for $2.50. Not sure about the others but these are all on my wishlist (for lower prices obviously).

The price points for fable 3 and aoe3 have been too high in steam so hopefully Tony can drop them a bit. I realize these are the latest available PC itterations but given how much game you can now get for $5, I think these need to drop to that or below for me to pick them up. Again comparing it to what we're seeing from Tony sales at that price point.

also Tony -

how come no one has the original age of empires games? an age of empires 1,2,3 complete at $5 and maybe even $7.50 will be very hard to pass up. thanks!
