Pre-Order Borderlands 2 from us for 10% off and help me get a tattoo! Yes it activates on Steam!

I am a huge Borderlands 2 fan and I want this to be our best selling pre-order ever. So I've drawn a line in the sand. If, from now until launch, we take 40,000 more preorders than where we were on 7/2/2012 I will get a Borderlands tattoo on my back.

[quote name='teknikalei']That sounds like an interesting strategy - have you had the need to use any of those backups yet? Physically backing up my online purchases hadn't even occurred to me.

It's weird how much I've bought into the digital download model - I still love my consoles, but I am buying a LOT of games from Amazon and Steam lately.[/QUOTE]

Keep in mind that if you ever NEEDED the backup, then that would mean the server/company you bought it from is closed and you can't re-download the game, meaning that any keys that needed to be validated upon install would not be confirmed. The backup is useless on any kind or DRM game (amazon/steam keys) that can't "call home".
 
Is there a way to find new digital download titles recently added to Amazon? I'm not referring to newly released titles as much as older games that were recently added to Amazon. For example, just recently (as far as I could tell) mass effect 1 was added as a digital download.

Tony you had mentioned your team is adding back catalogue titles from time to time, wanted to see how I could find them.

thanks!

If I understand it right, Amazon does not add any DRM to their downloaded games. So the bits you burn to a DVD will always work unless the origial publisher is no longer accepting the keys - e.g. if EA stops accepting online activations of their own codes. And for the recent DRM-free games, the downloaded 'copies' will always work regardless of Amazon - assuming windows XX still runs them.

Am I right?
 
[quote name='EliotAndrews']Since I'm tempted by the $7.50 price for all those Genesis classics, I'm curious how the emulator "blows." Does it stretch the image? No graphical customization options? Bad button response? Big ugly borders around games running in the 4:3 aspect ratio? Any of those [for me] would result in a lost sale.

Either way, I've dealt with SEGA's PC emulators in the past with the DOS "Smash Packs" from the mid-90's. The newest PC version of Sonic CD, which runs on the "Retro Engine," as well as Jet Grind/Set Radio's current-gen (Plus PC) announcement gave me hope that SEGA's been really busy with their emulator programming.[/QUOTE]
1: Somewhat wonky audio (but no commercial emulator seems to get this right)
2: It has four display filters: None, Linear, TV, and Enhanced. Source
3: The game selection menu is a bit slow.
4: If your video card sucks then playing the game is going to be a chore - I tried these games on a crappy GeForce 8400 GS. It ran TF2 in low to medium settings fine, but it couldn't handle this emulator.

In the end it's up to you to decide.

Your very first point, inaccurate audio, is definitely a reason to avoid this pack. Games like Shining Force II are particularly memorable for me, and I'd hate to hear the audio butchered by a bad emulator.

When the emulator is the biggest part of the port and will be used to market whole collections of games, it makes sense to have it emulate the audio perfectly. (It sounds like its poorly optimized for the PC, as well.) It's a shame, since I've played "Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection" on a PS3, and all those titles ran very nicely. (I don't recall inconsistent audio in the titles I sampled, either.)

This is a definite pass for me - Thank you for your input, Mr. Sniper.
 
Hey guys,

Bunch of comments here I want to respond to in depth, and will do so later this evening. Swamped in meetings today.

Something I feel the need to comment on regarding physical prices vs. Digital is that you have to remember that the way retail works on the physical side is that you buy XXX number of an actual box, which then sits in a warehouse and hope that you bought the same amount that people want to buy.

So alot of time what happens is people look at the tons of boxes they paid for but aren't selling and decide they need to recoup SOME of their dollars for them, thus the random "sales" you see on the boxed product side.

While inventory management isn't something the digital side needs to deal with, we still have to pay a similar cost per unit sold, so unless we've got a planned promotion in place it doesn't make sense to match physical goods. Which is why we don't.

Hope this explains things better...I didn't realize this was how things worked either until I worked in retail.

Cheers,
Tony
 
Everything in the SEGA Genesis collection is handled by a single launch.

I own a lot of the actual carts and play them on my original Genesis system when I want to bother hooking it up. I've got to tell you... any small gripes I may have about the way the games are emulated are easily balanced out by the fact that I can play them from my PC with zero hassle.

So... long story short. If you're a real fan - no these don't replace the original carts (I cry at that thought) - but it is a GREAT way to enjoy the games right from your PC. I don't mind throwing SEGA a few extra bills so that they don't forget all us Genesis/MD/MasterSystem fans out there.
 
[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']Hey guys, I submitted the PM for that this morning but it looks like there wasn't anyone around to approve it. My bad, if the price is still in place tomorrow I'll follow up when we're all in the office.

I understand what you are saying and I don't disagree that it would be nice to have perfect emulation and a few extras. From my perspective though, the price is right - 48 games for about seven bucks. It's more of a convenience I suppose and everyone probably wants something different from packs like these.
 
[quote name='xspeedracerx']Any chance we'll see a pre-order deal for Binary Domain? ;)[/QUOTE]

I'd be interested in this too. It gets good user reviews, so I hope you guys don't pass it up (release is set for April 6). It looks like it'll be a Steamworks title, and I'm definitely fine with that. I prefer to buy my Steam games on Amazon anyway in case I ever have to deal with customer service.

Yeah, the Gamestop price is still good and has been all day. I'm assuming all the hamsters were at the meetings with Tony but hopefully he can still get this matched for you. I already own it, but highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
 
Oh, hai new thread! Was wondering why nothing showed up in my subscriptions.

If you keep putting nba 2k12 on sale, I'll be powerless to resist. In fact, I'll probably just go buy it this round, even though it's going to be sitting behind ME3 for a good while. Just wish steam would put it on sale (or better yet, it activated on steam)

This just went through sorry for the delay. The hamsters and I were doing performance reviews all day...needless to say this did not reflect well on the "Close attention to detail" portion of their performance evaluation. One was fed to Mr. Pig.

I just got Sonic Generations and was pleasantly surprised to find it supported 3D via Side-by-side (which works on most, if not all, 3DTVs). Does anyone know if any other PC games have native 3D without having to use drivers outside of the game?
 
Hey T-Money,

I was wondering if you will have Dungeon Siege III for $5 that you had over the holidays because I am still kicking myself for not buying that?

Also it looks like THQ is having sales every where so they might be open to have a sale on Amazon PCDDs and I would pick Saints Row the Third Season Pass if you could get it under $10.

Just some ideas for weeks deals. Thanks for all the amazing deals and communication like always.
 
Any word on when Mass Effect 2 can drop to $5 again? My insignificant other has been wanting to play it, and we missed the last time it dropped to $5.

In other news, I just purchased one of those $10 GC for $5. It's kinda silly, making a big fuss over saving $5 but still. Will probably end up using it on hopefully a great deal in the upcoming weeks.
 
Yeah, I am surprised there isn't more buzz here about the Amazonlocal deal getting a $10 giftcard for $5. I just did it, got the gift card within 5 minutes and have already bought Amnesia and Penumbra Collection. Effective price after gift card, $2.50 each!!!

The Season Pass DLC is selling for $10 right now on Gamersgate. It's not THQ so they can't claim unfair publisher advantage to that sale. ;-)

Amazon on the other hand is giving 4 cents off of it. *chuckle* I imagine that must be a system generated discount or something. I can't see hamsters turning for 4 cents.
 
What's the verdict on the Penumbra pack? As good as/better than Amnesia? Will I like it if I'm into RE4/5 or Dead Space?

Mainly, the clunky controls kept me from the original RE games, but if this handles better...

I played through most of the first penumbra. It is a first person adventure game and handles exactly like a FPS (minus the weapons) so it definitely handles better than the original RE games (I hate how those handle as well). It's a great game IMO if you know what you are expecting (an adventure game with first person controls). Some people seem to have wanted more combat in the game and dislike it because of that, but that's not what the game is about at all.
 
I almost want to bite on Sonic 4, but I think eventually Amazon/Steam will have that 75% off for $2.49.. probably when episode 2 comes out.

The Penumbra games are great. A lot of people (including myself) feel that combat in the first games is one of the worst elements. Thankfully, in the later games they removed combat and focused on the puzzles, creepy environments, and avoiding enemies rather than fighting them. Not surprisingly, they went with this format afterwards in Amnesia.

Those 3 are our primary competitors in the marketplace and the ones we have systems in place to match. I'm not sure there are other US based DD platforms that aren't owned by the publishers.

I can't think of any other US based non Publisher owned DD stores off the top of my head either unless you get into the casual realm (ie Big Fish etc).

I suppose it bears noting though that Origin has started selling non-EA games.

Everyone stop recommending games. I just bought Amnesia when I have only about 4 or 5 hours to play video games per week, and my backlog is about 30 games long on steam. =[ lol

Here is a perfect review of Amnesia. I just beat it last Saturday and it is a great game. Play it with surround sound headphones in the dark to get the full experience.

It is better than Penumbra but both games are great. If I had to go with just one, I'd go with Amnesia without doubt. The water monster parts are some of my favorite gaming moments in history.

[quote name='jedik']Everyone stop recommending games. I just bought Amnesia when I have only about 4 or 5 hours to play video games per week, and my backlog is about 30 games long on steam. =[ lol

I have yet to finish Medieval 2 total war so that will hold me off on getting shogun 2 at the moment after the price match....hopefully..... >.
