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='bubzers']I can choose where to download Amazon's installation files. I just save the downloader file wherever I want the installation files to save, and then run the downloader. It's always worked that way for me. :confused:[/QUOTE]
Only if you don't have enough space on your C drive. Then, and only then does it ask where you want to download the file to.
 
I was afraid my explanation wasn't going to he good enough. When I click "Download" from my games in Amazon, it asks to save or open a small file (I call this the downloader). I save it wherever I want the other files to download to. Then I run the downloader.
 
[quote name='Mooby']I believe Alpha BROtocol is a Steamworks game.[/QUOTE]

Alpha Protocol is not a Steamworks game. For whatever reason though the GMG version of this game does use Steamworks. I guess Sega decides what version it wants to give out.

I like how Amazon tries to have DRM free and Steam options, but I also understand they need to be careful not to promote the competition. Having both options, but defaulting to DRM free and making Steam sound unpleasant might be the best compromise ;)
 
[quote name='Mooby']I believe Alpha BROtocol is a Steamworks game.[/QUOTE]

Depends on where you buy it.

Retail version and many other Non-Steam digital downloads versions used Uniloc Online Activation DRM with Install Limits.
If you threw in the newest patch (Patch 1.1), it removed the DRM-Check entirely.
 
[quote name='Hop25']The downloader sending files to the desktop can be an issue for SSD hard drives because the unnecessary moving of files isn't ideal.[/quote]
Moving files from the desktop to another location on the same drive only moves the file table entries not the actual files. And, moving them to another non-SSD drive would have no effect at all on the SSD drive since the files are removed.

Also, you can move a game from Steam and still play it by manually creating junctions or using an application like Steam Mover
Click to expand...
I am aware of junctions and use them for relocations of temporary files to my RAM drive, but they are hardly ideal. Steam should have that functionality natively so it isn't such a pain to relocate things and then keep track of them later.

[quote name='CheapoEl']Incorrect.
First it downloads the *.afp file. Then it unpacks that, and then you have the normal setup stuff for the game.[/quote]
What I wrote is correct. The AFP file is just a temp file as I mentioned later in the post. The "setup stuff for the game" is the game's installer just like on a physical disc. Steam on the other hand downloads the game's files not an installer to install the game like Amazon does.

Again I don't see any reason not to use the desktop as a temporary location for the temp file and the game's installer files. You can move the files after they are downloaded and extracted. If you don't have enough room in advance, the downloader will tell you that. You had 45GB free on C:, so why not use some of it for the download?

I have even resumed broken Amazon downloads before, so if you don't get all of the AFP file in one setting, you can continue it later.

The reason is the installer is brain dead. As was pointed out earlier, let's say you have 25GB free on the C drive.
It downloads a 20GB file, and tries to decompress it. At this point, it either crashes the installer, or it throws up a error message, since there is no more room on the drive to decompress it.
The other issue is people have small SSDs for boot drives these days, and it is just plain silly to shove the file at some default location when the downloader ALREADY can let you download it anyplace, but that only works if it calculates that the initial download size is too big for the C drive.

Again, Amazon needs to fix it to allow people to download the game to ANY location they want, and also make it recover from errors like the one I had easier without deleting the afp file on unpacking errors.

I have even resumed broken Amazon downloads before, so if you don't get all of the AFP file in one setting, you can continue it later.

It wasn't a broken afp file, it was a full download, it was obviously there to unpack the other files, but something went on, and it failed, and it also deleted the afp file. Logs don't say why, as you can see.
 
[quote name='KaOTiK']Tony, are you guys going to get Dark Souls by chance?[/QUOTE]

This has to be the most requested game in this thread right now. Maybe Tony can show the guys at Namco this thread and help speed things up.

That wasn't the case in your example. You already had enough free disk space to download and decompress to your desktop. It is ridiculous in your case to try to download the files elsewhere when you can just move them immediately after successful extraction. You went to the trouble to create a 45GB dummy file because you didn't want to download and extract 5GB worth of data to the same drive. In addition in order for the downloader to know in advance exactly how much drive space is required for extraction, it would have to be manually given or hard-coded with that information in advance because the only way to get it from the file would be to download the entire file first.

The other issue is people have small SSDs for boot drives these days, and it is just plain silly to shove the file at some default location when the downloader ALREADY can let you download it anyplace, but that only works if it calculates that the initial download size is too big for the C drive.
Click to expand...
It's plain silly to make a big deal out of moving files off of an SSD drive since it is so easy to do and the drives are so fast in doing it.

Again, Amazon needs to fix it to allow people to download the game to ANY location they want
Click to expand...
I agree, but that hardly makes the downloader unusable as it is now. You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

make it recover from errors like the one I had easier without deleting the afp file on unpacking errors.
Click to expand...
Automatic recovery would be nice, but it is possible to manually recover from this if you monitor the extraction by copying the afp file during download or extraction using utilities which will access a file in use. I am also not so sure that the Amazon downloader always deletes the AFP file on a broken extraction. Even in your case the log indicates that the file disappeared during extraction while the downloader was still running not after it stopped or crashed.

It wasn't a broken afp file, it was a full download,
Click to expand...
I know which is why that comment was not a quoted reply. I made that comment to inform people that you can resume from an existing AFP file. You can also probably get the downloader to immediately extract from one as well, but I have never tried it.

Given all the grief that Rocksteady is giving PC gamers with regards to strictly limited activations and revokations for your key with the two Batman's (only true for GOTY version of Arkham Asylum, regular non-GOTY version worked differently), I think Amazon's guarantee of giving you another key if said games are used too often would be a great, great benefit. I mean, one worth advertising bigtime. In short, if you like to upgrade your PC, you best be wary because most DRM we deal with is based around resetting its activation/revoke limits every month or every six months or every year. This DRM, however, is permanent. You run out and Rocksteady/WB will not allow you any more installs. If you contact their forum peeps, they tell you to contact tech support because they have no control over it. Rocksteady tech support's helpful suggestion is to, "Buy another copy."

If Amazon ever gets WB on board, that promise of a new key if you have problems installing the one you have would be fantastic. I admit, I find it odd that WB would partner with EA on Origin, but not with Amazon digital downloads. Perhaps some palms need greasing. Given their "helpful" attitude about letting a gamer play the game he paid for until they decide you've used it on too many of your legally owned computers, I say grease their palms with hamster poo.

That might not get you the contract, though.

NO EA games register on Steam.

You want a EA games w/ Steam benefits, you'd have to buy through Steam...if EA actually is selling the game on Steam and if Steam ain't kicked it off for violating its rules...

OMG, that's epic!

Count me in if anyone's hosting. I can pay upfront if that helps (assuming you have good rep).
 
I just bought another copy of Borderlands 1 GOTY since I wanted that discount on Borderlands 2. Already own the game elsewhere, so I am willing to sell this key for $5 instead of $7.50 to another CAG. Payment methods accepted (Paypal, amazon Payments/gift card) Please PM me if you're interested.

Also, willing to trade for items on either of my wishlists: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ObsidianSpire/wishlist

Yeah its steamworks game.

What happens to credits when you cancel order? I thinking of upgrading from single copy to 4-pack but I have credits already applied to old order.
 
[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']Hey guys,

I'll work on a DLC deal for SRTT but there is 0 chance I will get it approved and implemented in the next 2 hours. If that deal looks slick to you, grab it.

As for an Amazon DLC deal, stay tuned.

Cheers,
Tony[/QUOTE]

Hi Tony this is my first post and found it is pretty awesome we can talk directly to a big corporation guy and actually see things happen :)
I was wondering if you have a rough idea on when that DLC bundle for SRTT would be available?

My second question is for Tony or anyone else that knows can help me. I saw the deal Tony posted about the Nancy Drew bundle so I bought it for my nieces. Is it possible to download the games and put them on DVD disk and give to them? I'm not sure how the DRM works on these but I won't be using them myself. Do they have to have my Amazon account? I'd hate them to see how much I spend on Amazon :)

Thanks :)

Not sure what happens to the single order credit, it only applies to the single copy though so it isn't like you're "losing the credit" by cancelling and putting in a 4-pack order. You have a separate $18 credit for the 4 pack.

[quote name='Larce80']if we bought BL goty from the last sale do we still get the bonus?[/QUOTE]

yes.

Oh I'm sorry. I meant, I had previous "buy a game and get $10 off your next order" credit that I applied to single copy + a few other digital credits.

Maybe best to just leave it as is. :)
