Amazon DD Sales Thread

they've put up a bunch of square-enix games including kane & lynch 2 for $2.50 and tomb raider: underworld, which is a lovely game and worth way more than its $4 price.

unfortunately it doesn't look like it activates on steam(anyone care to confirm/deny?). k&l 2 definitely does activate on steam though; just bought it myself.
 
I don't think Underworld activates. It seems all the games that do are on this list.

I'm going to wait to see if Steam puts it up today, otherwise will buy it from Amazon. If any of you guys get it from the latter, it seems there was a patch that fixed a few major issues. You can find that here.
 
Kinda OT, but this is the last day of my student prime membership. Can I just leave it activated till it ends, or will Amazon instantly take out $70 and force me into a year of prime unless I cancel?

Go to your account ---> Manage Prime membership ---> disable auto renewal
 
Someone feel free to make a new thread on this. Amazon doing a big EA blowout
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.ht...rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1341540062&pf_rd_i=979455011

Dead Space 2 $5
Dragon Age 2 $6
Bad Company 2 $6
Mass Effect 2 $5
NFS: Hot Pursuit $10
Alice: Madness Returns $15
Medal of Honor $6
Shift 2 $10
Mirror's Edge $6
NFS: The Run $20

Obviously they don't redeem on Steam, though I imagine most of them you could pump into Origin.


They have Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition for 9 dollars, but it was 7.50 earlier in the year. Missed out on it.
 
I'll update Op but I need a mod to change the thread title.
Btw thanks for the links jediyoshi and I apologize for not updating the thread as often as I should.
 
noob question, i bought civ V goty from amazon for $10.99. activated in steam. in my steam library the game shows up as just civ V. is this right?

Check on your Steam Library game page for Civ V, there should be an option to click under the heading "DLC" on the right side of the page with the DLC you got with your GOTY edition.

EDIT: Beaten.
 
Damn, thinking of taking on that Alice deal but I not too fond of Origin. Only used it once and it was Mass Effect 2, has the service improved any since then?

Unless you're buying Battlefield or a game directly from Origin, I don't think think you actually have to use the client.

What kind of problems did you have? You'll might have to use Origin to download it (I did when I bought Arkham City from a recent sale, even tho I purchased it from the website), but after that you can launch the game with the .exe file. I'd rather download the game through my browser, but I haven't had any issues with purchasing/installing games from Origin.
 
Is there any way to know how long Amazon sales will last? I am trying to wait for Steam to possibly put up a Civ IV sale, but this amazon sale is the best available right now:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00475AYUA/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I just don't want it to disappear and then have no Steam deal to buy at all. Do sales just end randomly?

The Late Breaking Deals change every couple of days, but some deals are only 24 hours. Like there was a Square Enix day that lasted 24 hours, then now it's EA.

They usually end at 12 AM PST.
 
Already own the base game on pc and plat'd it on PS3 but goddam DA:O is too good. Grabbing it just for the dlc stuff, i should be able redeem these on origin right? Not important but just wondering
 
I see Crysis Maximum Edition for 5.99 on amazon. Just curious, can I activate this on steam?
No, I can't recall EA games ever being redeemable on Steam aside from when they published retail versions of Valve titles. Anyone know if it redeems on Origin, though?
 
Does anyone know if The Saboteur can be redeemed on Origin?
 
Can Darkspore be redeemed on Steam if I buy it from Amazon? I've been waiting for it to go on Steam Daily sale to get a copy for me and the girlfriend, but it's been floating at $10 all 2 weeks now. This $7 sale I'll see if I can swing if this is the case.

Darkspore is EA, so no, never. They have Origin now so fuck Steam is pretty much their stance.

Also, how long is the Amazon sale going to be EA? It was like that yesterday morning I think and now its still up, in the late afternoon...

Well the Dragon Age Origins:Ultimate and Crysis Max prices are today only.
 
It seems that games released in 2010 and later can be redeemed on Origin. I have NFS Hot Pursuit and ME2 purchased from Steam redeemable on Origin, as well as BC2 purchased from GG which also can be redeemed on Origin. ME1 and Crysis could not be redeemed.
