I checked out the Facebook page and there is indeed a post pointing out that the $19.99 price is a mistake and that it'll be changed to $29.99 soon.

Good luck, everybody!

Thanks for the tip. I had wanted to get it last time, but missed out.

The email with the promo code that I got said that you can only use one promo code per game/order. If you're talking about the $5 promo code, then that isn't usable until January 2012. Also, Payday: The Heist isn't one of the best selling games of 2012 that are part of the promo. When I...

Oh, I didn't notice that when I saw the article. It seems kind of deceptive to post a picture from an older game for an article about the newer game.

Joystiq has an article about it. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/15/cheapassgamers-cheapyd-will-be-your-homie-in-saints-row-the-t/

You should be able to just quit the game. Your character is saved on the server so you don't have to do anything to save.

I feel the same way here. I've spent so much lately with the nightly deals that I could really use a break.

Fara looks pretty interesting. I really like the artwork in the game. Now I just need to win that iPod so that I can get the game.

The free-to-play version has not been released yet. Their Twitter account said that they'll be making a major announcement on October 27th.

I don't think the low number of pre-orders are completely the result of poor explanation of the promotion. It's not that hard to know what's going on by reading the stuff they say at the site. It's pretty obvious that it's a marketing tactic to try and generate alot of publicity. In fact, they...

I don't know where people are getting the idea that you'll be automatically charged $33.90 for the game if they don't get 10 million pre-orders. The pre-order is $1 no matter what. If there are 10 million pre-orders, then you'll get a game code for that $1. If there aren't 10 million pre-orders...

It does not. Typically, only games that require Steam's DRM will activate on Steam when using a retail product key. There are a few exceptions, but those are pretty rare. Here's a breakdown of all the games that can be activated on Steam using retail keys...

It would have been nice if it was this price when Fist of the North Star was on sale so that I could have picked up both at the same time and got the free shipping.

Well, the Space Quest Collection comes with the VGA version of Space Quest I which I prefer over the original one. Since they both use DOSBox, I would assume that they both run about the same. I'm just waiting for Steam to have it cheap enough.
