Amazon DD Sales Thread

Hmm, do I go for NFS Hot Pursuit or Shogun 2 with my code. I think I will go Shogun 2 then pick up pursuit for cheap for the PS3.
 
Amazon price matched Steam on Medal of Honor so it's price is down to 5$. With a coupon, it now becomes free. Now I feel kind of burned that I bought it for two whole dollars the other day :P
 
So I missed the Dragon Age offer any chance there will be a sale recap soon ? Also is Mass Effect 2 included in the sale ?
 
Does Need for Speed activate on Steam? Amazon page doesn't mention it... Also, is this as low as it gets or is there a chance that it gets cheaper tomorrow?

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!

Thanks, was wondering what would happen in that case. I check the registry and I have the download path set to where I want it there but I think that was for the old downloader as the new one seems to ignore that. I guess I'll send an email to Amazon support and see if there is a way.

Edit - Got a response back from support, they confirmed what you said that it will prompt if the drive is full but otherwise there is no way to change the default. They suggested I use origin instead to download from.
 
What is the verdict on Medal of Honor at $5? Is it worth it if you are going in for single player only? Is it worth a $5 coupon?

Edit:

Found my answer on next weeks deals page #18.

Single player was decent IMO - one of the better FPS campaigns I've played in the last few years. I bought it for $10 and thought it was a good buy at that price.

Yea, I'll have to disagree with that. I paid 10 during a Steam sale, and I wish I could get my money back. The game lasts 4 hours, probably less if you rush. Has a story, I don't even remember, it was so bad. I enjoyed Bad Company 2 story more, even though that one was pretty bad too, at least I remember most of the story from that one.
 
I remember reading a few pages back about some problems trying to register the Dragon Ages keys on Origin and downloading some beta thing (or you wont get the Ultimate edition + DLC registered), what was that about? Is there some kind of problem/issue when registering the Amazon keys on Origin?

Also, The Black Emporium key (from DA2), does it have to be activated from the game or through Origin?

It's just that the game doesn't patch automatically, and if you don't play the most recent version, your DLC might not register correctly.

Register and download the game through Origin or Amazon and just install the 1.05 patch after installing and you should be fine. You'll need a Bioware account to register the DLC codes, though.

that's a negative. i tried 5 times with Live Chat and a couple more times through e-mail but no dice. i just downloaded the installer on Amazon to finally play it

Thank you. So, DLC must be registered inside the game. I am going to download from Amazon, but it's nice to have them registered on Origin, I guess.
Too bad that I have to make a Bioware account.

Is the Live Chat available for you?
It tells me there isn't any expert available, that I should try later.
I thought the support was 24/7 :P
 
Updated OP with next weeks deals and Pre-Order deals.

Also think I'm going to add this note from Tony as well regarding DRM.

How many times can I download my games or software?

You can download an unlimited number of times for personal use. To re-download, go to Your Games and Software Library through the "Your Digital Items" link at the top of the screen and click the download button.
Can I download and install to multiple computers?

For video games: Each game manufacturer has a different policy on how many installations are allowed with each product key. If you run out of installations for the product key you originally purchased from Amazon, please contact Customer Service and we will happily provide you with another key at no additional charge. You can install an unlimited number of times for personal use, however additional copies of the game for friends or family must be purchased separately.

I was able to logon to Bioware using my EA account info, I didn't actually have to create a new account other than picking a name there.
 
Finally got the chat from origin.com working.
The live chat from the app is still not available.

I am trying to register the Crysis games on Origin, the support guy is asking me to register on pogo.com, is that normal? :\

Yea they asked me to do the same thing once. It's another EA site I think, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I think it registers in their system as a legacy account which allows them to manually add games to your proper origin account.

Would anyone happen to have any spare coupon they aren't using and wouldn't mind passing along?

Ya, I thought that was weird too, but I figured it couldn't hurt and sure enough, after I did it, they were able to add the games.

It's probably the most boring racing game I've ever played.
Click to expand...
I thought so the first time around, but after an hour of playing, it *clicked* and it became one of my favorite racing games this generation.

But yes, the beginning is DULL. Too many practice races and time trials, not to mention how the game use to swamp you with about six slides of information and menus between races (they did optimize that part.)
 
Finally got Crysis 1 registered on Origin (thanks to the Pogo account).

The customer service guy gave me a 15% discount code for the next purchase on the Origin store on any already released game (except pre-orders and new releases).

I would have preferred Crysis 2, though :P

sorry man. if i had the extra code you would have got it. i got one more code saved up for when Hot Pursuit comes up as a deal
 
Don't worry about it (Y) :)

So, how is Hot Pursuit? Is it [supposedly] good or are you getting it because it will be cheap (haven't seen the price)?
 
i'm getting it cuz i'll be paying 4 dollars for it, lol. i've learned to wait for deals on PC games i would like to play. my backlog isn't too deep (yet) so i got a lot of games to keep me happy for a while
 
Is Dungeon Defender ever gonna show up as $5 again? I've bought a few gift copies during the Steam sale but I'm looking for more to give away to friends.
 
Does anyone have a spare $5 code they could give me? I traded my code to a certain GAFer, but it's used and I can't get ahold of him. I'm giving him a chance to contact me before I call him out on it, but I want to get Crysis 2 before it's sold out :(.
 
Damn, the last code that I saved for Crysis was already used... I really want it. :(
Anybody wants to trade something for a coupon or two (or give one for free? pretty please?)/ I can offer a Sonic Generations 50% off coupon, which will make it's price 7.5$ this weekend.

I really enjoyed it. I picked it up for $12, thanks to a fellow Gaffer, during a Steam summer sale.
 
I totally missed out on the Alice Madness Returns deal, would have liked to have gotten in on that one. Apparently missed the Medal of Honor Steam price matching $0 deal by about 20 minutes too. :(
 
Trying to get Crysis 1 redeemed through Origin with no luck. I tried Origin customer service, 4 times, and they are the most unhelpful and uninformed people I've ever talked to. *sigh*
