Them announcing BethSoft joining Amazon download service and putting Skyrim PC up for $35-40 for download would be an easy "lock in".

Anyone willing to CML for at least a $10 Amazon credit so I can take advantage of this NBA 2k12 deal?

Dragon Age 2 = $10 on GameStop PC App.

Since DAO: Ultimate is cheap on Amazon DL service ($12 currently), I'm betting some here might be missing Dragon Age 2 and would love Amazon download service to match GameStop PC App's price.
Then, they could have everything Dragon Age!

Well, except the DA2 DLC...since that's a darn Bioware Store download exclusive.

I already own DA2 - and yes, it's easily worth $10, despite that it's nowhere as great as DAO.

I see DA2 price is up - nice!
This is more for the other gamers than myself, since I already got DA2.
I got DA2 already - a long time ago, actually....when Origin had it for $30.
I think DA2 is easily worth the $10....even if it's nowhere as great as DAO.

Seriously, for $12 for DAO Ultimate and DA2 for $10, gamers who are missing any of those and love RPG's should be ALL over those two deals.
There's easily over 100 hours in DAO Ultimate and around 30-50 hours w/ DA2.

I do hope down the line, once Bioware is done w/ doing DA2 DLC, they release a DA2 Ultimate Edition w/ EVERYTHING.
I'd really like to give Legacy DLC and Mask of the Assassin DLC a whirl.

Steam has a massive TW: Shogun 2 sale going today.
Total War: Shogun 2 = $10 (67% off).
All Shogun 2 DLC = 67% off each.

I'm betting some would like a price-match from Amazon on these.

I'm not big normally on RTS's.

Hell, I still ain't touched many of the RTS gameS I got.
The original Dawn of War [DOW, DOW: WA, DOW: Dark Crusade] games that I have, too.
Nevermind all the DOW2 games that I have [DOW2 Gold + Retribution].
Starcraft: Battle Chest, as well.
Oh, and C&C: Anniversary Edition X + C&C3: Kane's Wrath + Red Alert 3.
Homeworld 1 and 2...

Wow good deal there on that bundle. Too bad I own most of the games in it. I forwarded it on to friends. Do you know if that is one massive serial number or separate?

LocarionStorm · Dec 17, 2011

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere in this thread before, but what kind of stacking is allowed with the January $5 credit? Is it only 1 per order in January, only 1 per game in January, only 1 per account in January, etc?

Separate, you'll get individual keys/downloads for each item. Also, we'll have some pretty decent a la carte discounts on the individual products. Not as deep as if you buy the bundle obviously, but nothing to turn your nose up at either.

1 per order in January, so if you get 10 $5 credits, you can buy 10 individual games for $5 off, not 1 for $50 off.

Make sense?

Thanks, Tony! Kinda sad that I picked up SR3 last week now.

Any chance that you'll have a BF3 deal this week? I'm double-dipping on the PC version (got my PS3 copy from you); so I'm holding out for a deal.

Nice. That means I can buy it and give them out as gifts or trade them as most the the games are steamworks.

MysterD · Dec 17, 2011

Maybe I own too many THQ games already or something, but...this sale probably won't do much for me....
Well, unless Space Marine is like $10.

Saints Row: The Third...too many other games interested in, to look at that for $30...

I wish you could add digital items to your card instead of having to 1 click buy. I have a $10 off $50 credit that I'd like to be able to use on some games and music. Damn you amazon!

MysterD · Dec 17, 2011

[quote name='Amazon DVG Deals']Not to quibble here...but we've done that several times, just not in the manner in which you're referring to it...Just Cause 2 at $2.50, Guardian of Light at $2, and we ran the same Shogun 2 for $9.99 deal 2 weeks ago. And I'm pretty sure no one has run Saints Row The Third at $29.99 digitally yet. We just try to pre-empt our 1 ups

.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those deals were the first and the lowest that those games have ever been...just saying.

Yes, we know you've beaten other prices on numerous occasions flat-out w/out asking...We're not talking about that. You guys, in most instances, are often hard to top.

...But what he meant is that when we request a price-match and I agreed w/ him, is that we'd like to see you go one step further and just beat the price flat-out.

Granted, I do buy a lot from you guys on a price-match...often it's b/c you have a Steam-required game I'm looking for. Or, I'm looking for a version of a game w/out Steam to deal w/ less DRM's...or even more especially true if your version has absolutely NO DRM.

RollingSkull · Dec 17, 2011

I remain totally disappointed in SR3 though it isn't that bad of a game. I can't begrudge anyone who bites at $30, though I will groan that Volition are making bank off such a half-assed effort at a game.

That said, do note that the PC version runs quite well and the cheats DLC CANNOT BE UNLOCKED IN THE GAME. People keep saying you can get all the cheats in the main game and that's a lie. You can get many cheats in the game but many are locked behind the DLC.

Also, Volition has a long history of really lousy DLC campaigns so don't be in a hurry to buy the season pass even if, for some reason I cannot comprehend, you liked the campaign of SR3.

I'm not trying to turn you off the buy, it's not a BAD game and if you want it at $30 there is no reason not to get it but it's nowhere near as good as it should be and it barely manages to be on the level of its contemporaries in the sandbox games field. I just want you to pay attention to the DLC nonsense, shop smart, and go in with tempered expectations. Maybe you'll have the fun I didn't.

Sarang01 · Dec 17, 2011

Ummm Rolling. Bullshit. Saints Row 3 is fuck

ing great and I love how batshit crazy it is. Is it half-assed? Definitely not. Are there some things I wish were in it that were in Saints Row 2? Yes, like Septic Avenger and the food aspect but that's about it.
I think your problem is murder time is not fun time for you. You really need to talk to Dr.Genki. ;-)

Why would I want to play some typical Rockstar sandbox when I could choose to play a customized character, male OR female, which no other sandbox game I know of gives you that option?

How can you criticize the story? Zimos is hilarious, Gatt is in there for too short a time, Kinsey is fun. Instead of having Sasha Grey for the voice of Viola I think they should've kept Eliza Dushku as the voice of Shauni.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. A few of the mechanics could use some work, but the gameplay is solid enough to have a smooth experience. But those issues aside, SR3 is all about fun experiences. Much like the Uncharted series where the focus is "set pieces" over story; the designers think "what crazy things can we have you do" and then build the plot around those. Will that result in pacing issues and plot holes? Sure it will. But SR3 is not about the story.
Don't get me wrong, I love drama and character driven games ( Heavy Rain, LA NOIRE, etc ) you can't go in with those kinds of expectations with SR3. I have had a blast with its madness and I doubt many will be disappointed if they can enjoy a game without the gritty realism that has swept the industry. For thirty bucks it is a steal.

r9800pro · Dec 18, 2011

I am new here guys and I've signed up to say thanks to Tony and the great team at Amazon PCDD

I buy my games from Amazon more than from any other plase

I have some suggestions though :

-Some games have the wrong info, for instance Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is shown as 7 GB download while it is actually 2.8 GB

-Steam and Origin registerable should be mentioned clearly on top of the games' pages

-Some games that are on sale can not be found in one page and I can only see they are on sale by searching for those specific games

-We need another sale for BF3 and the BTK DLC :lol:

Keep up the good work

Saints Row 2 codes bought through Amazon activate on Steam, just FYI.

Also, Red Faction Armageddon is totally Steamworks. THQ went full throated in Steamworks with RFA and SR3, lot of good it did them. RFA is entirely, utterly bland and generic. Not bad but it's just filler

The industry is not really overloaded in 'gritty realism', and we have so many stupid fun games out there that I really think holding SR3 up as the PARAGON OF ALL SUCH GAMES OF FUN is a huge insult to the genre. SR2 was way more fun. Hell, most other sandbox games are.

I went into SR3 expecting great amazing stupid fun and I was disappointed by what it delivered.

Not impressed by the THQ deals here.

TRU has Skyrim for PS3 and X360 Retail Box for $40.
Would be nice if you guys sold downloads for PC version of Skyrim - and could match it or beat it. You guys need Zenimax-published PC games for download [that would include BethSoft and Id Software]!
It'd be awesome if you guys can contact your retail box division and tell them to price-match the TRU deal console deal and ALSO especially include PC version on the match!

I'd be so all over that....for PC version, of course - I'm a PC gamer, you know.
