I love how somehow "wait for it to drop to 20 bucks" has become "wait for and offer on Steam/Amazon for 0 - 10$ on PC" for me this year.

They rotated the roster. Crysis 2 happened yesterday. Today's Bullestorm.

hmm. it seems i can't activate Bulletstorm on Origin and the guy on live chat is giving me the whole "contact Amazon to fix your problem" deal. this is dissapointing
I hate you... lol
That's wrong I think... Crysis 1+Warhead was yesterday, Crysis 2 tomorrow.

Just look for another live chat rep.
1st person i talked to told me s.o.l on activating Crysis on Origin. Next person i talked to got my games on my account, but gave me the german version of Crysis. Next person after that was like s.o.l learn german. The last person i talked to said they updated my Crysis with the english version, but i'm in the middle of re-downloading it so its still up in the air.

The page doesn't mention that it's an Origin redeemable copy. I'm assuming if it's just a key in this format XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX then it just redeems through the GFWL interface.

i just e-mailed their Customer Service. it seems that some EA reps said that you can shoot them an e-mail and have it activated that way. just waiting to see what happens
I activated my Bulletstorm by talking to a rep through Origin live help. GFWL is one of the most awful things I've ever encountered in my life. Literally one of the most ass-backward things I've ever seen. The game will not let you go to any menu before signing into GFWL, and apparently GFWL has to update itself many times. So it tells me the update has been downloaded, and to finish installing the update I have to quit the game, but since I can't get to the menu, I have to ALT+Tab and force close the process. Not even pressing ESC at the splash screen would release me from the vice like death grip of GFWL. Brilliant.
Just install and update GFWL separately, don't do it in-game. Then just put it on auto-sign in. I have quite a few GFWL games and I never really notice it's there.
Tried to activate Bulletstorm on Origin but live chat just kept telling me to contact Amazon. Darn. I don't get it, The Saboteur activated on Origin just fine for me and that game was from December 2009.
Edit: Ha, last guy on live chat told me he activated it but actually didn't, then he disconnected me. I think he thought I was trying to scam him. One more try then I give up.

if anyone wants a $5 coupon, send me a pm. I'll hook you up. I'm not interested in the games or dealing with all this GFWL/Origin nonsense

Picked up Bulletstorm, thanks again to da_stabbah for the code. 
Does anyone know how to change the download folder for the new Amazon downloader? It keeps putting the games in a folder on my desktop and I want them on another drive. I know I can move them after they are downloaded but it would be nice to have the option to change the location prior to downloading them.

If someone could kindly gift me a $5 coupon I'll will appreciate it very much! I want to spent it on The Saboteur I want it badly!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Did you buy a game that was 2.49$ with one of your codes? I know I got one of the total wars for 2.49$ so I still have a code with 2.49 it.

I know that if your disk in which you're downloading your game it's almost full (or does not have the required space for your download) the downloader will give you the option to change the destination folder for download your game.
I don't know how to change it!
^The Saboteur is not part of the promotion, I think.
That must be it. Thanks.
Edit: Well, if those are the upcoming sales, I might as well use my half code today

That Anno 2070 deal is super tempting but realistically I know I won't play it much now since I'm busy with Tropico and SWTOR on my PC so I'll keep holding off until it's cheaper.
Sims 3 Deluxe could be a target depending on what all it includes. My girlfriend has the basic version and at least one expansion already but if that includes a bunch I may snag it for her.

Your're right damn! The Saboteur isn't part of the promotion!

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
I wonder what the odds are of Dead Island going on sale before the end of the month. That's pretty much the only thing I would really like.
I guess my last coupon will go to hot pursuit
Unless this happens, or a Space Marine deal
EDIT: I kinda regret getting bullestorm at $15 which I haven't even played, even though it is a limited edition physical copy, so at least there's that
EDIT2: SO apparently there's going to be a discount for Space Marine but it won't be as good, from the CAG thread

Kinda leaning that way. I was thinking Crysis 2 for the multiplayer, but I think I have enough MP shooters for the time being.
Nooooooooooooo!! Crysis 2's MP is horribly broken. Lag issues even under best conditions and I don't think they ever added in anti-cheat.

Alice has been in discount yet, correct?

Cool, thanks for the heads-up! Bulletstorm it is, then.

Anybody got a spare code I can have for Bulletstorm?
I enjoyed it for about 20 hours as a grindy loot game. Well-designed loot system with some fairly interesting abilities. No story worth speaking of, and not much environment or enemy variety.

No clues about what's coming next?
Someone already posted the deals for next week, beat me to the punch lol.

Same here... slightly regret getting it and I haven't played it yet
Not looking forward to dealing with GFWL.Same here... slightly regret getting it and I haven't played it yet
Well you'd have to deal with GFWL live either way. The only difference now is u just have to DL the game through Amazon.

Damn, I should have held out for NFSHP. Anyone have an extra coupon they don't need?
Didn't realize that. Would have been nice to consolidate my library a little bit but it's not a big deal. Still not looking forward to GFWL though. I've done a decent job avoiding it on my new PC til now

If anyone missed the previous deals I have The Witcher and Dead Space 2 available for trade.
