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:

16hm7a8.png


In the "Product Description" section:

r06ykl.jpg


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

I already know I'm going to love Hotline Miami but I'm like 95% sure it'll be $5 during the steam winter sale and I have a ton of games I need to play.

Did you buy FTL? If you didn't buy FTL then you are indebted to good games and need to buy Hotline Miami. If you did buy FTL then you should have no problem paying cash money for Hotline Miami too.

I can vouch got it a few years ago for free off of their Halloween give away, works pretty well for me and has been of great assistance on car/train rides.

[quote name='UW_Shocks']Don't forget, the GameSpot promos are NOT Amazon Digital Exclusive deals; the promos include both Amazon Digital and Amazon Physical deals. In the case of Starcraft 2 [great deal btw], I would expect it's a physical deal.[/QUOTE]

I expect that it's probably the physical version, which (a) introduces shipping as a potential added cost and (2) means a multiple-day delay between purchase and play. Not that either of those factors are deal-breakers; they're just things that don't exist in a download-only environment.

I also have idea what the two games have in common.....other than the fact this man somehow agrees with me in thinking they are both fantastic.

Get out of my mind!

Ten dollar, well received indie games with a simple, but nice 2D style and a focus on unique gameplay mechanics.

I guess you can say that about a lot of indie games, but for some reason I lump these two games together in my head, as well.
 
Crazy good price although the 'full shebang' package is $50 list on Steam which would take it to $12.50 if it goes to 75% off... which I have a pretty good feeling it will because THQ is poor and all.

Handbrake has handled all my DVD ripping needs for years. You will probably need to install VLC as well. VLC handles DVD playback as well. Both are FOSS. And remember kids, when you're downloading GPL, you're downloading Communism.

The humor, alone, is worth it (to me, anyway). It's a game full of mindless fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.
 
[quote name='georgebot84']Tony
will the editor's choice games (the ones we can use the $5.00 promo credit on) be on sale in January, or will they be full price?[/QUOTE]

Assuming that it's run like they did last year, they will be on sale. In fact, last year they even price matched a few games that Steam had on sale. On at least one occasion, it was possible to get a game for free after coupon (Medal Of Honor).

Last year I had 7 coupons and I picked up the following. The price listed is after $5 coupon.

Duke Nukem Forever - $0.99
Crysis 2 - $4.99
The Sims 3 Deluxe (base game plus Ambitions expansion) - $16.99
The Sims 3: Generations - $12.99
Spore - $2.99
Dragon Age Pack (both DA1 & DA2) - $6.99
Crysis Maximum Edition - $3.99

Duke was free the second time it was on sale, listed as Mac version but came with a steam key.

It looks like Space Marine is what a lot of people are missing from the THQ pack, I'd like to throw my name into the pot as it's all I don't have (and want) from the bundle. If someone already has it and is planning on picking up the THQ pack please shoot me a PM.
 
Hey, I see the $5 promo credit already on games.

Yay!

Also works on things like the Saint's Row pack and DLC As well (2 $5 credits there) and the prototype pack!!

It probably just flipped...What's great is that it works for nearly every DLC I've found so if you want anything on the Editor's Choice list, you can pick up a lower cost DLC for the $5. Of course, this is assuming the prices in Jan will be decent which it was last year.
 
[quote name='Mac the Geek']Is there anyone who's played both FIFA Manager and Football Manager, and can review/compare/recommend? I like the price, but it's a little above my "impulse" range. (I'm also one of those dirty Americans who could only last about twelve seconds in a footy-centric conversation, so the learning curve is important.)

Thanks![/QUOTE]

I would strongly nudge anybody towards the latter product.

If you're not on Windows:phone Edition (aka Win8), get it now.



[quote name='gomikeoh']whats the better open world game? sr3 or sleeping dogs? Im halfway through sleeping dogs (bought from amazon.) but does sr3 offer a different enough gameplay to purchase?[/QUOTE]

They're both jolly. SR3 is more a game you'll end up playing with mods ( http://idolninja.com/blog/?cat=10 , http://saintsrowmods.com/ ).
 
Guys, don't buy darksiders 2 season pass. THQ is the closer to bankruptcy than ever in the past. They could turn it around but it will be rough. If they file chapter 7, whoever picks up the parts will be under no obligation to honor the pass. Same thing if they go into chapter 11.

But the DLC the season pass cover are already out, you just get them cheaper with i guess, and the armor.

Hasn't all the season pass stuff been released already? I was under the impression it was 3 single player packs

You could be right. That's a pretty lame "season".
 
[quote name='rasvelen']Tony how about those who bought prototype 2 early? Will we get the $5 promotion code?[/QUOTE]

I bought it early as well and missed the $5 promo, but am actually ok for some reason with not getting the $5 since it probably wasn't supposed to happen yet...

Course, I wouldn't mind if Tony sent some codes our way. :)
 
FYI...You can get the five dollar promotional credit for downloading the FREE Dungeon Siege 3 demo. Just had the credit e-mailed to me.

THIS!!!

I bought SR: The Third earlier in Mid-July; AND Prototype Pack when last Friday when was part of the GameSpot-Amazon DVG Friday, as well.

I don't expect a $5 promo code b/c it was bought before this Promo hit - but, $5 coupon codes being sent our way would be a nice surprise! :D
 
[quote name='Jackovasaurus']double dipped on Saints Row. That game is fantastic.[/QUOTE]

The second one is on discount also, highly unstable PC port but surprisingly much better than SR3.

Do i have to download or just "buy" it
 
[quote name='Tallkido']Do i have to download or just "buy" it[/QUOTE]

Just "buy" it. I have like ten already. :D

I don't know if it works on the "Game Connect" stuff but it is working on all free demos.
 
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]Thank you for your purchase from Amazon.com. It is our pleasure to let you know that you have earned a $5 credit toward the purchase of select game downloads starting 1/1/2012 and good through 1/31/2012.[/SIZE][/FONT]

It would be better if Tony applies the promotional codes to those who bought applicable games after he announced that the $5 codes will happen again. :D Though i'm not saying we're entitled for it.

Not for demo "purchases" :lol:
 
Tony I would like to report a "hole" in your system regarding the $5 promotional code. Anyone can actually download a demo and still receieve the $5. I'm not sure if this is intended or a glitch in the system. To fellow cheapassgamers, please don't regard this as a kill joy move. I did this because I don't want Tony to lose his job. :(
