Just keep spreading the word
. We review word of mouth (people posting across different forums/blogs/reddit) every week, the more traffic we generate and chatter that is out there, the better it is for the team.My job is to get customers excited about our service/offering, excitement is pretty easy to measure in threads like this
.Honestly, one of the other big things is pre-orders/new releases. We know that pre-orders/new releases sell a TON on Steam at full price, and often we have the same product for 10-15% off. I'm constantly working to spread the word to those that do pre-order and buy new releases that we're a good destination for these games.
Spread the love
.Or don't, I'm just happy you guys are digging the deals and service and want to make it as awesome as possible for you.
Still locking down timing, stay tuned.
Garrrr I forgot about that and it was front-page news in Austin recently.

All-around amazing deals announced already but Binary Domain really caught my eye. I hope I don't miss it.
25% off, according to Tony. Puts it at $22.50.

Sorry I touched on this earlier in either this or the other deals thread. The batch of keys we got for operation Arrowhead were no good. I'm currently awaiting more, once we have them we'll put it up.
I've got red exclamation point emails and voicemails out there. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Tony

Is there any chance that The Walking Dead could go on sale in July?

Still can't decide if I want Max Payne 3 tomorrow. I keep hearing mixed things about multiplayer, and great things about singleplayer. Multi looks so fun!

You and me both.
It's probably not gonna get cheaper than $15 for a while due to how well it's been selling because of DayZ. This sucks, 'cause I wanted it too.
It's not going to go super low when the devs are having a hard time coping with the influx of players from sales at full price. I don't see them allowing a discount larger than 25% even on steam as the devs are currently running a sale on their own store and the discount is only 25% and comes with Steam redeemable keys.
I doubt it. It sold extremely well plus it sells more every time an episode is out.
Rented it from Redbox and beat it in two days, but I plan on buying it on the Amazon sale. Game is so damn good.

In response to Future Soldier, stay away from this terrible PC port! I greatly regret my purchase. If you absolutely have to have it, wait for a patch or two. I'd wait for sub $20, though.
That's too bad. Sounding more and more like the Ubisoft of old.

Ahh bummer, I really wanted it to be good.
Gonna grab Max Payne and Spec Ops no doubt though. Syndicate, Binary Domain and Crusader Kings probably will get a look too. Man I didn't want to buy that many games, but those deals are so freaking good I feel dirty for not buying them.
Yep.

Very nice touch offering Steam versions.
Max Payne 3 is calling me, but I can hold off for winter sales.

Hell ya.
Thanks for your work and help on this Tony. I think it's awesome that sites like Amazon have reps that are reaching out to sites like NeoGAF & CAG.
One thing I think would be awesome to see from Amazon.com's digital downloads -- if they could take a page from the Humble Indie bundles and offer name your own price type of deals. And more high-end indie games like Bastion, VVVVVV, Machinarium, Botanicula, etc.
Still, I'm not in any way complaining -- what's there is truly awesome (Paradox games for $19? X-Com complete for $3? Games that have been out for two months discounted?).

If the sale goes up at midnight, you'll pull an "all-nighter", aka, you'll stay up the entire night.
If they come up only at like 3am, you won't?
Should be up around 12:30 to 1:00 PST time.

I was thinking 12am CST, which I see is not gonna happen, so I guess I'll wait 'till the morning.

Damn, might be damn difficult convincing myself not to get MP3, especially when it is half off.

Ok since I was just asked by Nelo here's my personal experience with Amazon DD:
I use my non-US CC with my regular name.
As a billing address I use a random US address with a random phone number from some hotel. (I chose Oregon as the state since it has no tax, don't know how the situation is in other states.)
I haven't had problems ordering the 4 times I did. I'm not sure it's 100% legal but it seems like some gray area and Amazon has no problems with it (so far). I know it doesn't work with their digital mp3 offerings, so it seems somewhat intentional as it is right now.

Thanks again for the help!
I really wonder if that can create an issue, but I really don't want to ask Tony about it, because I don't want "them" to find out/look into it..
Considering it was easier to do it on Kindle (you only had to change the country you were from in the Kindle Management Area), but then they changed and you need an actual address in the country you want to "Fake" yourself into, I guess they don't really like it when people do it...
Yessir!
