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='SCMoney360']Tony,

I would hope that this means there's an me3 deal in the works, since I am sure people are going to want to see the story to the end.

Possible ideas-
Credit towards me3 dlc w purchase of 3.
Or
Some sort of bioware card add on....[/QUOTE]

Does BioWare even sell their BioWare Points on point cards at stores [i.e. GameStop, Best Buy, etc]?
 
[quote name='MysterD']Does BioWare even sell their BioWare Points on point cards at stores [i.e. GameStop, Best Buy, etc]?[/QUOTE]

I believe EA,Origin,Bioware,The Sims, etc. points are all interchangeable and Gamestop just had the $20 cards on sale for $15 - I don't think Amazon sells them though.
 
Do you have to download the games from Amazon even if they run on Steam?

Bought Sonic Generations and just used the product code on steam, which worked for downloading. Tried playing it today and says game files missing or corrupt.

Going to try deleting and reinstalling on Steam, if not I'll try downloading from Amazon but didn't think it would be a problem, like the DNF code since only the MAC version was free but still worked on Steam.

No matter where I buy a key from for digital download, I usually just activate Steam-keys right through Steam.
Especially if the game REQUIRES Steam period.

Much easier that way.
 
[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']If I'm reading this correctly they are only selling this at this price to 500 customers. I will run this by the team, but I can tell you that my personal inclination is not to match and I imagine the team will agree. We haven't tested limited volume sales before and I'd like to test doing so intentionally rather than as a function of a price match.

If the number was more in line with what we see when we run this type of price promotion my opinion would be different but 500 units would disappear faster than our marketing communication was fully deployed, which means we'd likely communicate a deal to customers who actually wouldn't be able to take advantage of it...which is something I'm 100% against.

Cheers,
Tony[/QUOTE]

Forget matching the 500 units "Flash Sale" part.
Just BEAT GameStop PC App and sell SR:TT all day for $15 for EVERYBODY!! :p

If you downloaded from Steam I can't speak to the quality of their binaries. We've tested ours and they should be working.

Sorry I don't have a better answer for you, but we don't have visibility into what product Steam distributes.

Tony

When you download from Steam, it downloads the most updated version of the game.
I'd bet his download got corrupted, somehow or some way.
He might want to delete that game and just re-download the entire game via Steam.

That's what I'm trying now. Never had to delete one off Steam before. Went to Delete Local Content, and am downloading it again. Thanks for the help. Almost halfway done now..

Good luck.
Hope it all goes well.

If not, you might just wanna DL the version [probably 1.0] from Amazon VG Service.
Then, let it install.
Then, let Steam update it.
 
Well that still happened. Only thing I've done before launching it is go to configuration.

I'll try downloading it from Amazon and see what happens.

Flash deals suck. Please do not do them.

All it does is make everyone pissed off that didn't get it and wasted their time hoping they F5'd quicker than the other person.

I don't even pay attention to those deals anymore because it just isn't worth it imo.

Joking, I understand Tony. Thanks for the response. Can't wait for the Dragon Age Combo deal.

Agreed. I love when I do get in on flash deals, but most of the time I don't and it is frustrating. Especially since these are digital copies, I wouldn't like flash deals at all.
 
I guess I'm the only one that would prefer flash deals over no deals at all. Of course, I'd rather SR3 be $17 all day instead lol. After seeing gamestop have it for that price I'll wait until amazon has it for $17 or less since I have credit there. The cheapass in me won't let me buy it for more than the lowest price it's been ;)

While amazon may not carry bioware points, I thinkthat this could be a great way to further build Amazon's relationship with publishers if they couldoffer exclusive amazon/publisher coupon codes for future dlc in a game.

Of course that would be quite an undertaking to work out specifics, but we can all agree that there are certain publishers who will always have dlc for their games.

So, maybe mass effect 3, isn't going to be the game that will have this, but it just seems like the next evolution for digital distribution

I do not blame you for not matching their 'limited sale' but I would really appreciate it if Amazon would not do flash sales. I honestly hate getting an e-mail advertising a great price on something only to click the link, add it to my cart and upon checkout get a "sorry, the allocated units at this price are gone" and the price being set back to the MSRP. To me, things like that just smack of a company trying to drive traffic to their website in hope I'll buy something while there. I really have no shot at the deal that brought me there in the first place.

I find that more frustrating than anything. I'm cool with more modest savings so long as I have a defined window where I can get them. Like SR3 -- I'd rather pay $20 at Amazon or Steam (if I wanted the game) with the guarantee that price will be good for a set amount of time and I don't have to be super lucky to get one of the 500 set aside. I'd rather pay $20 than have a 1% shot at a $15 price so long as I'm guaranteed to get the game I come to your site to get.

Maybe flash deals will appeal to a lot of people but IMO, they only serve to frustrate me as a customer.

There's probably a way to satisfy everyone, like have a "flash" deal at $15-17 for the first 500 sold, and then have a slightly higher price immediately after those 500 copies are sold, such as $20 or so. Well ok, it may not satisfy everyone.. I'm sure some will still get angered by that, but it's not a bad idea IMO.
 
Well that Sonic Generations thing was really weird. Downloaded from Steam and Amazon and still had same error. Looked on their forums and saw someone had the same problem; running Steam in admin mode made it work.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
 
I'll chime in and say I think price matching flash deals just isn't a good a idea. I don't mind flash deals if they are done right, ie. set a date/time/amount well in advance and let people go at it, but having to randomly price match it until it sells out is just a big mess.


Also, I just purchased some EA cards at Gamestop on Saturday and they were still $15 for a $20 card so the sale may still be going for those interested in the discount. I got them in anticipation of their next big store sale, but who knows, if ME 1 and 2 get me addicted I might use them on some DLC.

You really should put in your opening post in the thread that:
1. Amazon DVG don't match physical disc deals
2. AND that you don't match International digital download deals - i.e. Gamersgate, GreenManGaming & GetGamesGo.

Just a suggestion and all...[/QUOTE]

Adding now :)

2. AND that you doesn't match International digital download deals - i.e. Gamersgate, GreenManGaming & GetGamesGo.

Thanks for the suggestion MysterD!

But they do match some physicals. I asked a few weeks ago about SSF4AE, the disc on Amazon was $20 and the DL was $40. Tony matched the price and I picked it promptly.

So from now on will Amazon DL not match the existing disc version pricing on their own site?

@KayDigi
I was namely referring to Amazon DVG matching other site's that have physical deals - i.e. NewEgg.
I don't think I've ever seen them do that.

I think it'd make sense for Amazon DVG to match their own Amazon Physical Products' price, if they wanted to.

You'd have to ask TONY about that, for clarification...he's the Amazon DVG Dude.

@Tony
Is it still likely that Amazon DVG might match their own Amazon Physical Video Games divisions?

I'd have to go back and check but I'm pretty sure the SSF4AE promotion you're talking about but I'm pretty sure that was a case of we (physical and digital) both had the same promotion running but our price point took longer to flip.

I can tell you that our policy since I've started has been "we don't match physical"

What is so special about Gamestop flash deal on Saint's Row 3 ?

THQ European store (specially the French one) has Saint's Row 3 + Season Pass DLC for 14.99€ ($19.96)

The DLC alone is $19.99 so we get the base game for free lol

I would have this same logic but the ME2 DLC kills the thought every time.
 
Hey Tony D, when is The Witcher 2 going on sale again?
The Enhanced Edition is coming soon and there's no sign of a Steam sale, so no-DRM is the answer :)

Thanks a lot, I hope we get it!
