Sweet! Darkspore! I was hoping we'd see that as a daily - my saving my last coupon paid off. Now I just have to remember to actually grab it, as I'm uber busy next week...

imentec · Jan 20, 2012

Maybe borderlands goty will become to sale on 29 or 30th ? Maybe....

Crysis 2, darkspore and NSF for me. Then I'm done

Cheel · Jan 20, 2012

Got a $2 credit this morning, so bulletstorm ended up being free.

DirkBelig · Jan 20, 2012

Added Bulletstorm to the backlog. Can't pass it up for $2 and the chick is hawt. Crysis 2 for a Hamilton tomorrow and I'm done.

CrimsonTribe · Jan 20, 2012

I was going through my gmail account and realized because of the way some emails get threaded that I still have two codes. Please PM with trade offers. I don't need anything major, either decent Steam coupons or rpg or rpgish strategy games that I don't already have (I'm also Crimsontribe on Steam). I'm also open to creative suggestions ($2.49 psn codes/ interesting cheap PSN dlc codes such as the disgaea 2 characters)

Thanks Tony

Nothing about Space Marine ?

sublime2d · Jan 20, 2012

Does it make any sense that Bad Company Vietnam will cost more than the game required to play it?

wolve · Jan 20, 2012

[quote name='Jaysonguy']It's easier to keep track and launch your games from a single client then have to find the individual game.

There's been many times I forgot I've owned a game until I started up Steam or Origin[/QUOTE]

So it's that hard to log into your Amazon account and look there too huh?

I just find it silly and really lazy that people can't be bothered to use Amazon's tools despite them giving these great deals.

I think it's silly people are worried why other people like things a certain way. To each his own. I personally like games in a game client. I guess I could create a spreadsheet listing every game I own and where I purchased it from. Seems tedious to me....but i guess I'm just lazy.

kwirl · Jan 20, 2012

[quote name='INCyr']Really? They were cheaper at GOG? I thought they were about $5 each, making getting all 8 $40, vs. the $20 price tag on that collection.

Still, I'll likely refrain from picking up the collection and wait and pick them up at GOG sometime myself - I'd love to get them, but I have no time to play the millions of hours that I've heard they will require of me.[/QUOTE]

apparently steam is going to be carrying a complete baldur's gate package soon

psunami · Jan 20, 2012

[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']Sorry fmz! I totally thought I'd made this clear in earlier posts. We're probably going to run Space Marine (I hope) at one point in January, but it will likely not be at the crazy prices you've seen elsewhere.

That's why when the question came up originally I was really upfront about buying it at that crazy $12.50 pricepoint while it was up.

Really sorry that you didn't get this communication sooner.

Cheers,
Tony[/QUOTE]

In response to r9800pro asking about Space Marine.

kwirl · Jan 20, 2012

the lesson to be learned from these sales is - next year, buy 20 games in december. jesus these are some sweet ones.

amundsjm · Jan 20, 2012

Bulletstorm and Crysis 2 and I'm probably out. A couple of weeks ago I'd have said that I'd bite on a Space Marine under $20, but since then my backlog has grown considerably and I figure that, like Darksiders (another really fun game!), I'll see Space Marine on Steam/Elsewhere for $5 within a year.

Oh, edit: Question I don't think anyone's really asked. Is it possible to "back up" Amazon downloads like Bulletstorm? Because my internet at my current housing situation isn't that fabulous, I tend to download things at night (especially with Steam) and back them up in a ridiculously OCD organization system on an external HD, and I'd like to do that with Bulletstorm as well. So does anyone know if it's naked enough that I can just hold onto all of the files in a folder and drop them to another PC, so long as I keep the key handy?

Mooby · Jan 20, 2012

So no Dead Island unless it somehow pops up on the 29th or 30th? I know you were trying to put something together so no complaints but just wondering if that's a confirmation it won't be going on sale.

I DL my files at night too, back up the folder onto my external HD and then split it up into DVD size RARs and burn those. The files all download into one folder with the installer and everything in it so you can move and store it however you like.

JustYourAverageJoe · Jan 20, 2012

When do these codes expire again? Was it the end of this month or next month?

[quote name='wolve']What is really the big deal w/ Origin on CAG? Most other PC gamers wouldn't touch Origin with a 10 foot pole. And I'd rather download from Amazon anyways. Less game clients I have to install the better.[/QUOTE]
Unlike what most people would proclaim, Origin is not some awful piece of shit. It's actually decent, adequate if you're feeling less than generous, if barebones. I honestly cannot understand the kneejerk frothing hate a lot of people have for it. I have a feeling people's animosity towards EA simply makes Origin an easy target.

spoderman · Jan 20, 2012

I like how Origin forces me to shut it down to play Dead Space 2 without glitches.. strange how EA's download client/manager interferes with its own games. If I play it with DS2 running, I get a black screen whenever I alt-tab or attempt changing resolutions.. lol.

M_F_A_H · Jan 20, 2012

Is Bulletstorm compatible with the 360 controller?

i should just buy it's free anyway from Bing. But I want it for 1.99!

It isn't confirmation yet, but it doesn't look great for a Dead Island sale. Still working on it on this end but not a whole lot of traction.

Luxuria · Jan 20, 2012

Fail. I was all excited to buy Bulletstorm today with the my code and then discovered that I accidentally deleted the e-mail when I was clearing out spam at the beginning of the year. D:

spoderman · Jan 20, 2012

I think Crysis 2 will be my last purchase in January, unless Amazon has some really crazy deals next week. I can wait for Sonic Generations to be lower (not too interested in it).

Microshock · Jan 20, 2012

Anno 2070 has that plain stupid hardware activated DRM, right? It's too bad, the game actually looks interesting.

[quote name='Microshock']Anno 2070 has that plain stupid hardware activated DRM, right? It's too bad, the game actually looks interesting.[/QUOTE]

Curious if your concern is activation limits on the DRM? I've addressed it a few times here but we handle that through our internal policy:

I also post this regularly whenever people ask about activation limits with Amazon Game Downloads:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_200205020_times?nodeId=200205020&#times

How many times can I download my games or software?

You can download an unlimited number of times for personal use. To re-download, go to Your Games and Software Library through the "Your Digital Items" link at the top of the screen and click the download button.
Can I download and install to multiple computers?

For video games: Each game manufacturer has a different policy on how many installations are allowed with each product key. If you run out of installations for the product key you originally purchased from Amazon, please contact Customer Service and we will happily provide you with another key at no additional charge. You can install an unlimited number of times for personal use, however additional copies of the game for friends or family must be purchased separately.

Sorry if this was not your concern. I feel like I post this alot...adding it to the OP.

Cheers,
Tony

SneakyPenguin · Jan 20, 2012

It's great to hear your policy on un-fucking-up publishers' stupid DRM, but I hesitate to actually give any money to Ubisoft, lest they believe their policies to be working.

It uses DRM that uses an activation when you change something in your PC, like a video card. And you need to be on the internet the entire time. In fact, it seems like half of the reviews talk about this on there, not your guys fault though.
That's a very nice guarantee though, giving us a new key and all when we run out of activations.

Oh another question, I just bought two copies of NFS:Hot Pursuit yesterday. If theres a sale anytime soon on that, would there be a chance of a price match?

Freedom Fries · Jan 20, 2012

Any hints for the last three days of January? I have a coupon left but I already have the games going on sale for the next couple days.

What about divinity ii? Thanks again for doing this, twas an amazing deal for gamers.

Really? I have been playing it straight from Origin and works quite well. :/ I like to use it as a Non-Steam link better, but it works fine for me.

faraany3k · Jan 20, 2012

Amazon guys you are really making it tough for me.

I can only buy 1 of these games.

1. DOW 2 Retribution
2. Shogun 2
3. Crysis 2

What should I buy??? I am not highly interested in a FPS game as I already have both BF3 and MW3. But missing a cheap Crysis 2 deal like that will haunt me forever.

Retribution and Shogun are both brilliant. I like the Survival mode in Retribution but Shogun deal is boss.

Help me please.

I know it is becoming common to recap some of the deals on the last days. That might be a good idea for either the last weekend in Jan or the last two days of the month. Thoughts?

Hamsters, wheels...we just sold through a TON of our inventory on this game and hadn't planned on this, so if you're going to try and jump on this I would do it quickly as the likelyhood that we will run out is extremely high.

Right now we don't have any plans for a recap since we've pretty much slated daily deals from now until the end of the month.

As always though, I'll suggest it and see what everyone has to say about it
