Can anyone confirm that the 35% works on Bioshock? I'll pick up Crysis 3 or Tomb Raider + Bioshock if I can get out for ~$70. 30% does not though.
[quote name='ShockandAww']Nice got Tomb Raider pre ordered for $31.50 with the code.[/QUOTE]
I overpayed by $5!
What was I thinking?
That's not the way to stick it to the man!
Just kidding, I don't mind supporting developers a little bit more here and then.

[quote name='V878']Hmm, so Tomb Raider is on this page for games qualifying for pre-purchase and get a 35% off voucher for future use, though there doesn't seem to be any mention of it on the product page. $31.50 for the game and a 35% off voucher to use on something else would be pretty sweet.[/QUOTE]
As noted upthread, they don't stack. You only get the 35% future voucher if you pay full price for the pre-order.
Given how often GMG offers vouchers, I'd rather take 30% off the top of the pre-order and trust in another discount coming along for my second game. Or buy both right now for 30% off each.

Edit: Actually, I think I confused myself. 
[quote name='Syntax Error']I was speaking in terms of the "original" game.
(Bolding mine)
I may be misunderstanding here but I'd take this to mean that if I buy a game off the list with the 30% voucher, I won't get a 35% voucher as a reward. Am I wrong?
The example they give is buying Bioshock: Infinite first since no vouchers can be used on it anyway and using the reward voucher to buy another game for 35% off.
Assuming the above is correct (and if it's not, please let me know since that makes some of the offers more attractive) then, assuming both games allow vouchers, you're better off paying ($60-30%)x2 than paying $60+($60-35%) --- if that makes any sense.
If you can pay ($60-30%)+($60-35%) then there's no question that that's best.[/QUOTE]
I added Metro to the cart, used the voucher and received no message of any kind saying I wouldn't get a voucher. I believe they used Bioshock as the starting example because it is the only game you can't use vouchers on since 2K are assholes. If the 35% off vouchers will work on other games that give you another voucher, I see no reason why the 30% won't work the same way. Of course, if someone has completed a transaction and this is not the case they should speak up, but the post you quoted sounds like conjecture to me.
Edit: Found a post on GMG where someone confirmed they received the 35% voucher after using the 30% voucher for their purchase. True to the GMG way though they were having some issue with the voucher but hey, at least it showed up.

Couple of other noteworthy-ish deals:
Kingdoms of Amalur - $7 (75% off + 30% code) No Steam, requires Origin. Also contains no DLC and GMG does not sell them. Note that link is for the US. Not sure about other regions.
Galaxy on Fire 2 - $3.50 (75% off + 30% code) Activates on Steam

For me when I used a UK proxy it put the price into USD when I logged into my account, it went to $50USD, which became $35 with 30% off.

Ah good point, I wasn't logged into my account. By purchasing from them this way, would I be able to start playing since it's already out in Europe? And I'm guessing it's not Steam compatible (I figure only buying it on Steam gives me that)..?

Would really like to order the Far Cry 3 Deluxe edition but I got worried when the proxy server warnewd me that my info wasnt secure and could be intercepted. If anyone from the UK would be interested in ordering me a copy I'll pay you the amount and gift you a copy of Darkspore on Steam if u want

I could not tell you to be honest, it is also out in Australia.
It activates in the uPlay client after you download the installer through capsule (Which has some decent content to unlock once you get enough achievement points to buy them like a single player mission, extra online mode and single player gun). After it is added to uPlay you don't need capsule installed anymore. Even if you had the steam version, it still goes through uPlay, all Ubisoft games do now.

The 'safe' way to do it is like this.
1. Sign into GMG.Com
2. Enable UK Proxy (You will still be signed into GMG
3. Add the game to your cart, apply voucher.
4. Disable Proxy
5. Purchase game
That way your GMG details and payment / paypal details don't get entered via the proxy.

Sorry to ask so many noobish questions, but which uk proxy do you use so that you can just enable and disable it? i googled uk proxy and went through one called daveproxy and it brought me to the gmg site where I could put FC3 in my basket, but I couldnt figure out how to be signed in still from my normal gmg account

Don't use proxy sites, they are rubbish. Make your browser connect via a proxy.
I wrote a small guide for another site, I will paste here.
Make sure you select the united kingdom from that site.

[quote name='Xerxes']Does buying multiple preorders get you more 35% or is it one per promo?[/QUOTE]
Well, I assume it's one per game so I'd just buy each game separately to make sure (especially since you can daisy chain them that way).
Unless you meant buying multiple copies of a single game which GMG won't let you do anyway. Once you buy a title once, you're not allowed to purchase it again.

, getting a payment denied error. Hopefully they'll let me get in on this deal after the fact, as I don't think support will be getting to me before it expires.
Picked up tomb raider. Is it just me or is the the current 35% voucher promo even more confusing than usual GMG confusion. You get a 35% voucher if you buy one of those games for other games not listed but only if you don't use a voucher now. And some games give cash back now or GMG credit later, etc, etc.

Also, Scribblenauts Unlimited is now available on GMG, so with the 30% coupon you can pick it up for $21, the cheapest anywhere so far.
[quote name='BREVITY']I wonder if I get this via uPlay if I can co-op with someone on Steam who has it? I dont actually know if uPlay is a client like Origin. Does anyone know?[/QUOTE]
You will most likely be able to. When you run it on Steam it makes you use Uplay anyway.

Uh, it's Square Eidos and it's Steamworks so I would be that Amazon or GMG or someone else will have it 50% or less well before Steam's summer sale.

They denied my friend a refund when he tried to get his Hitman preorder adjusted, due to there being some kind of time limit on Paypal transaction refunds.

Maybe if you insist on getting the difference put back into your Paypal/bank account there is a time limit. I ordered Hitman on November 1st, requested a price adjustment on November 16th and got the $4.50 difference as GMG credit. They didn't ask me how I wanted the difference but I was fine with credit so I didn't complain.

I still feel like with all the other stuff they have on sale + 75% off, the Steam big picture deals going on, Amazon sega bundles, multiple indie bundles etc there are just much better ways you can spend $5.

I'm with you on that one. I got Stronghold 3 in a 2 for $15 from Get Games (I think that was the sale) with Binary Domain. I just pretend I paid $15 for Binary Domain which was surprisingly really fun.

Unless you count a probable mistake sale that was quickly yanked from Gamersgate a week or so ago and required finagling buying blue coins with the G2PO code then using those coins to get the (now dead) IGN discount and G2PO discount again to get it significantly cheaper then yes.
TL;DR Yes.
