I'm headed over there...RIGHT NOW.
Still.no.keys. I'm very frustrated as well. If/when we get keys we're going to do 25% off.
Bah, didn't notice that.Maybe Tony can explain what's going on. I was just looking around and noticed the price changed from $9.99 it was the other day to $4.99 which is the sale price.
Does anyone know if Madden 08 or whatever has the newer right stick controls? I can't remember if they killed it off before or after updating the old as hell controls. I think I remember it was before they updated the pc for the newer controls but I'm not sure.
I'm looking into it now, I remember us having issues getting it up earlier. Stay tuned.
Also, and Nelo is going to update the OP. I got my wires crossed with Sega, and apparently our 75% off Fall of the Samurai is only good through today. After which point (through 7/14) it will be 50% off.
Sorry for the confusion, been a crazy couple of weeks.
Cheers,
Tony

For what its worth. I paid full price for ARMA II just for DayZ, and it pays for itself over and over.
First thing I thought, but now Steam is hung up on the Connection screen. Restarted PC, got the same thing. I've literally never had a problem with Steam over the last year that I've had this rig. Hmm.

Yup, that's what I meant. I know for a while it didn't after the console ones had it. I wasn't sure if it was added in the last one like NHL did.

Easily the game Im wanting to try out more than any other right now (DayZ). Id hate buying it to only have this key issue resolved 10 minutes later or have the steam sale kick off or something, but man... I wanted to play this LAST weekend. And now, i have two weeks off. Its going to be really hard to not just pony up $30 and just grab it tomorrow.

Picked up Warhammer: Space Marine.... which I already own for XBox. (I really liked it, and do a majority of my gaming on PC now, want to see how the game rolls on PC.)
Anyone know what the online community is like at this point?

Are you serious or just joking? Same old games, when titles like Max Payne, Amalur, Spec Ops and lots more recent titels are on sale. I just grabbed Space Marine from Steam for $5, a game from fall 2011.Pc have great sales but it seems the games are not as varied as consoles ...i see the same old games on sales or the same genres from the same publishers....
Of course games go on sale lots of times. Now they are $50 and get a -50%, in a few months it'll get a -75%, after that a price drop and a -50% again, etc.
If you don't see a lot of different and varied games on PC, you're just not looking hard enough.
I agree that sales are usually the same but pc gaming rocks. The fact that games are always cheaper than the console alternatives makes the pricing even better. It's like a constant sale.Pc have great sales but it seems the games are not as varied as consoles ...i see the same old games on sales or the same genres from the same publishers....
More games from more devs would be nice though.

I know what you mean man, Max Payne 3, Spec Ops the Line, Binary Domain, Shogun 2 Fall of the Samurai, Kingdoms of Amalur, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and Syndicate are super old and on sale like every week!
Lol what does this mean?
Cheers,

Because half of the games we want, they don't release for the PC because they think no one will buy it (like rpgs, the market is small but dedicated. the rpg could be shit and we'd still buy it within reason)Pc have great sales but it seems the games are not as varied as consoles ...i see the same old games on sales or the same genres from the same publishers....
Also they figure "well this sold well on a deal, lets do it again!" instead of going "well this isn't really selling well so lets have this on sale more often because it sure as heck isn't selling at full price"
I really really hate when publishers INSIST on keeping an older game at a higher msrp. Like The Last Remnant rarely goes on sale and stays at it's MSRP of $40, and then when they do a deal it's only like $10 or something. The shit is not selling, put it on a sale or lower the msrp you retards.
I have no trouble finding matches but mostly everybody is level 41 and they have ridiculous perks that make versus unfair. :/

Probably been asked a bajillion times, but what are the chances will see Rage show up on one of these sale thingys?

The DLC is all multiplayer
I think it's more that there's a different variety, not that it necessarily has less. You see a lot less of these strategy games on consoles for example, and for the most part the only RPGs that hit consoles are JRPGs, Bioware/Obsidian and Bethesda RPGs, and the odd action RPG.Pc have great sales but it seems the games are not as varied as consoles ...i see the same old games on sales or the same genres from the same publishers....

So weird, I just tested it in my account and the Key activated on Steam (new purchase from today) the only thing I can think of is that the last batch they gave us were Steam keys by accident.

Yeah, bought the Square Enix pack and Underworld didn't activate on Steam over here. Everything else does though.
You can use the key on Origin.
EA stuff activates on Origin, Steam stuff (it's labelled) activates on Steam. No idea about the stuff that doesn't activate on either, but who buys that stuff anyway
....But what if I WANTED a steam key?
Like if I could get a steam key for underworld I'd buy it right now

Man, next week? I bought Mount & Balde then 2 days later, I bought Warband. No Stem for either.
Im just throwing money at you guys at this point.
Still no answer from the credit card thing. I want to buy the amalur DLC, dammit. XD

picked up bulletstorm and i tried contacting origin support but they aren't open
I just did the "Call Me" option through Origin and got a call 15 minutes later. The bummer was that the guy who helped me couldn't get it to Activate on Origin because it's a GFWL key, which means I either need to go through GFWL, or Amazon to get the game.
No biggie though. I'll just stick with the Amazon download

Sorry about the weird situation guys. We have an email out to SE about this but they are in Japan so I don't know that we'll hear back this weekend.
Cheers,
Tony
