Pretty nice deal on Civ V. Too bad I don't have a code though.

rollntider · Jan 9, 2012

[quote name='elcheapo2']Tony, is there any way to gift a PCDD purchase? I already own Civ 5, but I'd like to purchase it for a friend.

The only solution I can think of is buying it, and sending them the steam key. It'd be nice if it was a little more official, but I'll take what I can get.[/QUOTE]
Thats what I did, bought 2 copies and sent the key to a friend for him to register.

[quote name='jkimrey']Tony - still didn't get the King Arthur II code. Any suggestions?

Thanks[/QUOTE]

You'll be getting it within the next couple of days, I just had one our Developers and it is fixed. I'm back filling orders right now.

Also I have a question for the group. We're putting Alice: Madness Returns on sale next week AND we're adding it to the topsellers of 2011. What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Tony

[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']Hey there everyone, sorry for the super delayed response here, I'm just recovering from what I think was the worst cold/flu I've ever had, thanks to those who asked how I was doing and wished me well, apologies again to those who had/have questions that I've missed.

Do me a favor and send me a PM, I'd like to get your feedback directly and pass it along.

Alice : Madness Returns is a very good game as I've read and although it will not run in Eyefinity for me, I will grab it because $2.49 after 75% Off and $5 coupon is hell of a deal :mrgreen:

Before anybody asks..... Yes, it registers on Origin

You promised some good deals for EA games, and I really hope to see DA Origin Ultimate go on sale soon

Edit : just saw your post about EA, Awesome !

anarchyoblivion · Jan 9, 2012

Alice would be a pretty good deal for $2.49 after the $5 coupon code (Assuming the price is set at $7.49). I know a lot of people got it on Steam for the $7.49 price when it was a Daily Deal on Steam. It does require the Origin Client for initial activation and an EA account. However, once you plug in the code, the Origin Client doesn't need to be open.

Awesome! I might actually buy a game in January (told myself I wouldn't after last month's sales). Hoping Dragon Age 2 gets some similar treatment but after just finishing Skyrim... might need a break from dragons anyway.

I'll have to wait and see what's on the list then.
I do own a fair amount of EA titles, already.

Hopefully, something I'm looking for is at a decent price...and that it's something I can also use a $5 off coupon on, if it's part of the 2011 Best Sellers club.

EDIT:
And yes, yes, I know - I do buy TOO many games and have TOO big of a Backlog.

Yep! I have been holding onto two coupons in hopes of some new deals...sounds like it will be worth it.

I've been eyeing Alice for awhile, mostly the console versions since they come with the original, but with a decent sale price plus a coupon I am sold on the PC version.

Though I know it won't be eligible for activation on Steam, I'd be very tempted by such a thing if the price were right. Alice has been on my wishlist for some time now.

the PC version does come with the original and it ran fine on Win 7 x64

jkimrey · Jan 9, 2012

Tony,

The game is released tomorrow. I thought the $5 coupon was if you pre-ordered the game?

If I were to go ahead and preorder, would the coupon all me to get $5 off another game in the future?

Thanks

DarkZero104 · Jan 9, 2012

Alice would be a fine way to pseudo-PM the best buy december sale. stuff there was Alice, Dragon Gage Ultimate, Bulletstorm, and a slew of other things. if people missed it then, amazon will work. and a lot of people missed it then.

igame · Jan 9, 2012

Love how the number of games keeps steadily increasing on the bestsellers list.

Originally it was somewhere around 47, but now there are already 56 games. (some duplicates for mac/pc) Also there are 2 links to Mass Effect 2 on the bestsellers list for some strange reason you might want to get it checked out. (both pc)

Steam had the best sale on Alice (for PC), and if you bought the Steam version it registered on Origin. Steam had it for $7.49.

We did say that we'd be adding games to the list as we got our sales results in from Holiday. This took a bit longer than it normally would because of the holiday...and because I got mondo sick at the end of last week, the bestsellers list should be finalized super shortly. When it is I'll post an announcement.

Sorry for the confusion though, I totally understand why it seems weird. As for the dupe ME2, thanks for the heads up, fixing it now.

[quote name='agentghost']yes it does come with the original game. :roll:

[/QUOTE]

Uh.. no, you can unlock the menu option to select the original American McGee's Alice, but the game will crash when you try to launch it from the menu because it doesn't come with any game files for the original Alice. The unlock does work for the DLC though (the extra outfits/weapons). If you used google.. you would've seen that several people have posted that you can unlock the costume/weapon DLC.. but not the original American McGee's Alice.

I hope admurray2 doesn't get the wrong idea, if you want the original game it might be best to go with the console version, however the PC version of Madness Returns is the best version IMO, and I prefer it over the 360 version. But you will NOT be getting the original American McGee's Alice with the PC version of Madness Returns unless you bought it from the EA store during the promotional period a while ago.

Also, EA doesn't seem to like it when you provide info for how to "unlock" the DLC lol, but it's the only way to gain access to it because it's not possible to purchase anymore.

Thanks for the clarification. I would like that HD remake of the original, but if the price was right I think I might still go for the PC version. A sub $10 price (after coupon) is better than I can ever expect to get it for on the 360.

I'd probably buy both if they were both priced at $9.99 or so (or at the very least $15 so you could get $5 off with the coupon).

Yeah it'd be great if they could beat or match the price Steam had it for back during the daily deal.. $7.49 is nearly half as much as you'd pay for the console versions (I think best buy had them for $15 a couple weeks ago?). I already bought it from Steam, but would be cool to see more people playing the game.

CrimsonTribe · Jan 10, 2012

First, let me say thank you to Amazon and Tony for all of the great deals, great communication and great help.

Second, has anyone had problems installing the downloaded version of Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition?

My key works and I was able to add the ultimate edition to my Bioware profile.

However, when I tried to run the actual installation, the installer starts extracting, but when it gets to DAO_PRC_CP_2.rar, it stops extracting at 18.8% and then the installation fails.

I really am not in the mood to download the full 12+ gigs again. If this is not a common problem with a simple solution, I'll figure something out (it seems to be the DLC for the Stone prisoner, so I should be able to get that somewhere else), but any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']FYI guys, we're going to be switching back to our non/post holiday promotional schedule, so we'll have our deal of the week (currently L.A. Noire at $12.49), as our primary promotion.

We will likely be running other promotions throughout January but we're going to spend the next couple of days figuring out exactly what we want those to be

.

Thanks again everyone for making this both a successful and an ENJOYABLE holiday! Thanks for all the positive shout-outs, for spreading the word to your friends, and other web communities/forums.

I've tried to say it as often as possible, and it "feels" like you guys agree, but I hope that you all know that your feedback is heard and used. We also appreciate how understanding you are regarding the inability to meet every request

.

Let's all look forward to a great year of awesome gaming (and gaming deals!) in 2012.

Please see my post above. We're going to be trying some stuff out with our "Deal of the Week", for example, next week will be an "EA Week" but we'll have different individual titles on sale each day.

This week, and last week, we had a static Deal of the Week, Civilization IV/V and L.A. Noire respectively.

Hope this answers your question, if it doesn't, let me know and I'll try to clarify further.

I can't confirm it, but it is a Steamplay(Mac+PC for one price) title on steam.

On the other hand, when I bought Civ IV on Steam, I got separate entries for both the Mac and PC versions. Civ V does not have this, so I'm not sure.
