[Amazon DVG Deals]

Hi CAGs,



I'll be posting deals we're running on Digital Games (PC/Mac, Free to Play, Sony/Microsoft Points/Subs).

I'm also here to answer questions you might have, get you closer to the developers by hosting Q&As, setting up podcasts, live streaming gameplay etc. If I don't respond to a question you have in thread please send me a PM. These ping my email address and make it more likely that I will see your question and respond more quickly.

FYI. EA Games sold by Amazon will not activate on Steam.

F.A.Q.S.:

1. Does the game I'm buying from Amazon Activate on Steam/Origin/Uplay? What DRM does the game use?

There are two places to identify DRM on a digital video game detail page:

At the top of the page, below the title:

In the "Product Description" section:

2. Note on Electronic Arts Games - For the most part, EA games sold on Amazon do not activate on Steam. Most activate on Origin.

3. Note on DRM with limited activations:

Our Policy



4. Sometimes I'll do giveaways.

5. I work with developers and publishers to get fun (or at least what I think is fun) content to share with you all. Here are some examples:

a. Check out the Pax Gameplay videos here: Xcom: Enemy Unknown I played Xcom with Jake, the Creative Director for the game, a few months before the game came out Also, on this page, check out the Q&A, also a community driven event.

b. Check out the interview on this page: Borderlands 2 we did this interview at E3 with Randy Pitchford this year.

c. We've partnered with the ++GoodGames Podcast to feature many of the games we carry. They talk to the developers about the game development process, how the games are conceptualized and managed, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on putting together full link list and will update when I have it.

What else do we sell?

Xbox Live Points and Subscriptions:

1600 Microsoft Live Points
4000 Microsoft Live Points
12 Month XBOX Live Subscription
3 Month XBOX Live Subscription]
12 Month + 1 XBOX Live Subscription

PSN+ Subscriptions and PSN Points:

$20 PSN Points
$50 PSN Points
12 Month PSN+ Subscription
3 Month PSN+ Subscription

Yes. But it also has a touch screen.

 

[headpiece747]

[quote name='Mooby']What's a vita? Is that like some new vitamin water for hipsters?[/QUOTE]

I know it is easy to knock the Vita because of it's poor sales and small game library and I was not going to get one. A buddy of mine bought it when it first came out and didn't want it so he gave me a great deal so I bought it and I have to say it changed my mind. If more people could try it out and see the graphics, touchscreen and other features I think it would sale more. It is great for someone like me that has to travel for long periods at a time.

Also Tony and Gamespot thanks for the $5 Spec Ops.

 

[Mooby]

I just knock it because I'm an old PC elitist. You kids and your fancy touchpads get off of my lawn!

 

[Estbarul]

is the Spec Ops full game better optimized than the demo? Even on low the demo gave problems and issues running on my laptop.

Is that EVERY Sonic game available on the PC?

Any chance if we bought any of those bundles already on Black Friday, that we too will get steam keys for them as well? Just wondering. Thanks again for all the killer deals.

Just got a PM on this as well, negative on your question. Basically after BF I ran an analysis on all the pubs that offered a Steam version of their bundles and those that didn't and then sent them around to all the publishers and asked if they wanted to re-run some bundles during the DOTW slots between now and our crazy holiday sale. Sega was the first to respond.

Now is the time I get really mad amazon doesn't have a game gift function because I really want the steam codes for this stuff but I can't give away or trade the games I already purchased a week ago..

(Also I think this frustrates me more then anything else. I don't mind a $5-$10 price difference in deals in short periods of time for promotions or whatever. But to learn a bundle I purchased 1 week ago has steam keys now is immensely frustrating. These 4 bundles specifically: )

Sorry for your frustration man . Noted though, I'll propose instituting the 1 month policy on adding Steam versions of any bundles similar to the price policy we have in place to avoid this kind of frustration in the future.
