[Fjordson]

I think Max Payne 3 makes the deal pretty sweet given it's fairly new.

Tony, total shot in the dark, but do you guys have anything planned for the PS2 GTA games on PC? The recent GTA V excitement has me wanting to replay Vice City and San Andreas (not that they're expensive right now, but sales never hurt!).

 

[YianGaruga]

Question as to what you're not feeling?

Lowest price on Max Payne 3 to date: $29.99

Price of the bundle with GTA IV Complete - $24.99

Lowest price on Spec Ops: The Line to date: $24.99

Price of the bundle with both Bioshock games: $19.99

Would the deals be more attractive if they were just the lowest price in the channel to date by $5 but didn't include 1-2 other games?

Cheers,
Tony

As someone who owns the older games in the bundles, it just feels like they keep the price higher than it could be, although I know that's probably not the case and they should be regarded as free games on top. Maybe it's a marketing thing and I would react differently if they were advertised as "Max Payne for $24.99 + 2 free games", instead of as a bundle. That's how I would've done it at least, but I also don't have the data/experience that you have.

And to be honest, I'm not even very interested in MP3/Spec Ops by themselves, so that's why I'm personally not "feeling" the bundles. I see that they're a great value for people with bigger interest in the games, especially if they don't own the bundled games. So carry on.

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

The deals are good but people just don't want to buy bundles with games they already own. If MP3 was $20 by itself it would be a lot more attractive I think.

I hear that for sure, and we definitely take that into consideration when building these things out. My point was that there's not been a better price on either headline game in those bundles by themselves...

Cheers,
Tony

Fair enough, that makes sense . I'd be shocked if you saw MP3 ~$20 in the next few months.

I'll just get it in the next summer sale for $10, either from you or on Steam. Not in a rush to play it.

These bundles are clearly not aimed at you then

 

[zerokoolpsx]

For those that have not seen:

8/28 ONLY GOLD BOX DEAL:

$24.99 for:

Max Payne 3 + Grand Theft Auto IV Complete (Steam)
Max Payne 3 + Grand Theft Auto IV Complete (Not-Steam)

Cheers,
Tony

The Gold Deal and The Darkness II looks good. Already own GTA IV Complete twice. =/

 

[Amory]

Bioshock and Bioshock 2 don't support the 360 controller, right?

Otherwise I'd be all over it.

 

[Speevy]

Bioshock and Bioshock 2 don't support the 360 controller, right?

Bioshock does, yes. I would assume 2 does, but I'm not positive.

 

[Schlomo]

Bioshock does, yes. I would assume 2 does, but I'm not positive.

1 does, 2 doesn't.

 

[JaseC]

The OP is missing the Stronghold Collection (Stronghold 3 excluded). $9.99 (-50%) for either the DRM-free or Steam variant.

 

[graywolf323]

1 does, 2 doesn't.

odd, I thought GFWL titles had to support it?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I.
Love.
These.
Pack names.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wow both really good deals for anyone who has missed out on those.
Also Duke Nukem Forever isn't that bad if you play on easy and imagine it as a budget title.

 

[Stop It]

I.
Love.
These.
Pack names.

Heh, they're not bad.

Someone tell me why The Darkness 2 is worth buying? It seems to have totally passed me by.

 

[Amazon Video Gamer]

Hurray better deals . For those of you who missed out on the Origin sale, starting 8/30 we'll have this lineup:

Kingdoms of Amalur Amalur: $16
Sims3 Base: $12
Sims3 World Adventures: $12
Sims3 High End Loft: $8
ME3: $16
ME3 DD: $20
Spore Ultimate Digital Collection: $12
NFS Ultimate Digital Collection $12

 

[Alo81]

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

Yeah, I know they don't, but they're still usually competitive with their pricing. I'm not saying a price match, but just "Hey, here it is on deep discount because we're Amazon and sometimes we do shit like that."

Spore Ultimate Digital Collection: $12

No deal on BF3?

 

[Speevy]

I can't wait for this 1C bundle.

ME3 DD: $20
Spore Ultimate Digital Collection: $12
NFS Ultimate Digital Collection $12

The ME3 DD is very tempting, as unlike the Origin sale, at least I can cheat my way to getting into this one.

Can I ask how long that Spec Ops bundle is running until? If it's going to expire before other deals turn up I may bit, but would prefer to "wait and see" what other deals may appear before making final calls.

Kingdoms of Amalur Amalur: $16

Am I correct in assuming Amalur isn't going to be Steam? Will it register in Origin?

 

[Link Man]

Am I correct in assuming Amalur isn't going to be Steam? Will it register in Origin?

It requires Origin (unless on Steam).

[Tron999]

I'm interested in Spec Ops. Does anyone want to buy the bioshocks off me for $5 a piece?

 

[Speevy]

What time do the Paradox deals update?

 

[~Kinggi~]

That is quite a list there.

 

[Deadstar]

Ctrl + F Asuara's Wrath ps3. Nothing for me ;(

 

[mosesjohn]

i was so hoping for the return of the square enix bundle... and rayman origins. so many games though...

 

[DeVeAn]

Billy Hatcher was on the PC?

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Any word on that 1C bundle?

 

[Speevy]

Billy Hatcher was on the PC?

Yes, and it's still not very good.

 

[mr stroke]

Will pick up Shogun 2 total war for $7

 

[Last Baron]

Will pick up Magicka at least. Really tempted right now to grab all of the Warhammer stuff too. Hm.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Skyrim?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Are the shaun white games any good?

 

[Mackenzie 92]

Are the shaun white games any good?

I haven't played the snowboarding one, but the skating one is kinda cool. It has a goofy Fahrenheit 451 type of story where skating is outlawed, and the objective is to liberate people and areas of the world by pulling off tricks and combos. The world starts off as black and white and as you liberate it, it fills with colors. All in all it's pretty fun and addicting just for that game mechanic alone. The world is quite large as well.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I really want that need for speed bundle but I also want hot pursuit. :/ I would buy it in an instant if it included that.

 

[Phife Dawg]

Any word on that 1C bundle?

That's what I want to know as well.

 

[C_H_T]

No deal on BF3?

Yea, why isn't there a deal on Battlefield 3?
Otherwise, Europeans can get Bf3 for a low price. We couldn't get it from the US origin store when it was on sale last week.

 

[baconcow]

Picked up Metro 2033. Wish that more of these were Steamworks (i.e. Crysis 2, STALKER's, ME3). Will be picking up the Sega Sonic Bundle which appears to be all Steam and is a great deal at $12 since it includes S4ep2. Probably should note that in the OP.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Is there a cities in motion with complete DLC?

 

[diffusionx]

How is Mass Effect 3 on the PC? I'll be honest - I got my PC shortly after ME3 came out (which I bought on 360). I popped in the game and it was so blurry and low-res and choppy... DAMMIT PC HAS RUINED 360 FOR ME.

So I see ME3 for PC for $16...

 

[Lain]

Grabbed Supreme Commander, since it was the only one I was missing. Though, when I redeemed it on Steam, it asked me to pick which games I wanted to install, and I was given the option to install both Supreme Commander and Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Cool, Red Faction Armageddon and Homefront bought. Might pick up Football Manager later on.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

odd, I thought GFWL titles had to support it?

I thought this as well when i got bioshock2- had to fix it with xpadder- literally easiest gamepad mapper i have used- and it worked great!

 

[CatPee]

Did anyone else who picked up Spec Ops have trouble with a black screen with audio on startup? I'm starting to feel like I wasted my money here. -_-

 

[awilliams213]

Best thing about being away from PC gaming for a while I come back to great deals. So far going to get:

Warhammer 40k
Crysis 2
Darksiders
Metro 2033

 

[LiK]

Did anyone else who picked up Spec Ops have trouble with a black screen with audio on startup? I'm starting to feel like I wasted my money here. -_-

worked perfectly fine here.

 

[The Wraith]

Just picked up Metro 2033 for 5 bucks. Cant beat that. Registered it on Steam and feeling good.
