Hey Tony,

Any chance at a max payne collection steam bundle with MP 1-3? Saw you guys have 2 in the Rockstar collection bundle, wasn't sure if there were issues getting MP 1 up as well.

Thanks for all the effort, these are some really great deals.

Are the crusader kings games in the pint sized stand alone? Mit doesnt seem to come with the base game...

Plentiful Paradox has the base game and another package only has the DLC, as a way for people who bought the plentiful package to get the DLC only.

Hey Tony, I don't know if you can answer this, but do you know if can I get the L.A. Noire DLC and use it in a non-Amazon version of the base game (specifically, Gamefly's)? If it downloads as a separate installer then theoretically I can download that, install it into the current game directory and it should work....right?

Just got confirmation from Rockstar, here it is:

"The licenses can come from anyone and still work regardless of who the user purchased the base game from. "

Cheers,
Tony

Do you think we could get sale prices/discount % on the Squeenix and Sega games before they are live? :)

oh and those DLC's are SO mine. been waiting for ages for them to drop in price <3
Click to expand...

Yeah I'll post deals and dates as soon as I have confirmation. Right now I have a big list of "This is what we're running". I've sent back suggestions on what I think would work better and during what time frame. I just need to get confirmation on my suggestions.

Not during this sale. Possibly in the future though. You're welcome btw, today is looking really exciting so far, and it is not yet 10:00AM here yet :)

Negative the Pint Sized Package only has the CKII DLC.

Nothing I want to buy today. But I couldn't recommend Crusader Kings II to you guys enough. And at $9.99? That's an insanely good price. Also, if you're a Game of Thrones fan, there's an amazing mod for it that allows you to play in Westeros. :D

With Tony here, I also wanted to point something out. To anyone who is iffy on buying from Amazon, my experience has been amazing. I bought the Paradox bundle a few weeks ago and two of the games (Victoria II & Sword of the Stars Complete) didn't come with Steam codes. Kinda bummed me out because I love Steam. Well, just a few days ago (long after the sale), Amazon sent me an e-mail with the Steam codes to those games.

How cool is that? The transaction was already done between myself and Amazon and they weren't required to do any of that. Yet, following up and giving me those codes is one of those small gestures that gets you coming back. I also love that unlike EA, they're not looking to take you away from Steam; they're giving you another avenue to use it.

Anyway... Just wanted to sound off on how good of an experience buying from Amazon has been.

So weird that Vice City is called "Vice City Stories" though.

:( sorry man. I've sent a note over to our protection team about this to monitor. Just as an FYI this process is in place to make sure your little brother or kid doesn't hop on your Amazon account and spend all your dollars on video games. Usually it is triggered by multiple purchases in a totally new product group in a short period.

Again, sorry :(.

Cheers,
Tony

Any plans to put COD 4 on sale? Great sale so far. It is going to hurt my wallet.

We don't currently carry that game unfortunately :(.

Hey Tony, I don't know if this has been already mentioned, but Duke Nukem Forever is 9.99$ right now, while the complete pack is 7.99$.

I realize that some of these prices look weird. We're doing a "50% off the entire catalog" with select deals that are a lot better.

Accidentally bought the non-Steam version of Max Payne 3 before I realized there was more than one option. Oh well!

Great sale anyway, Tony.

Picked up Spec Ops, eagerly awaiting Binary Domain. Thanks for the heads up on this sale, between this and the eventual Steam sale, I think my wallet is going to be hurting at the end of the month!

Ha, likely where it would sit for me.

Frankly, I'm thinking more about getting the Plethora for the Majesty games as an alternative since people have been pretty quiet about Sword and Victoria, which isn't usually a good sign.

Crusader Kings II instabought, will ruminate a bit on MP3 and Spec Ops before committing.

Some very nice deals to be had, will be checking back regularly throughout the month to see what else pops up.

Still not sure on Max Payne. I already beat a rental copy on 360 and don't know if I need to play through the game again, even at $30. Also, I'm still not comfortable about downloading 30 Gigs on my data cap. I think I'll wait for a lower Steam holiday deal.

Syndicate really should have a demo on PC. Sucks that they dont =/

Spec Ops it is.

Does Syndicate have a demo on consoles? If so, once again it shows almost the sole reason I still own consoles. Is the sale for it today only?
