Amazon Summer Sale July 1 | Not steamy but very hot (non-US buyers: read OP)

I tried to order Saints Row the third from Amazon just there - I used a US address since I'm from the UK but it said something about download orders taking up to 4 hours to appear. I don't have it in my games list. What should I do? I don't wanna try again and get charged twice but I don't want to miss out either!

Is there any way for me to combine my mount and blade: warband from steam and my amazon napoleonic wars dlc so that steam actually keeps track of my time played?

I heard that Beverley Hills 90210 is nice place to live in...
 
Did I miss a free Mount and Blade Warband code. =(

Yes, I posted several hundred codes for M&B Warband and Europa Universalis 3 Chronicles in a google doc for CAG/Neogaf members to celebrate Amazon's Facebook page hitting 100K.

Unfortunately someone on Reddit got a hold of the link to the google doc and that community jumped into the doc, took all the keys, and left vulgar strewn messages in the doc bragging about it.

I repeat, this is why we can't have nice things.

What does "price flip" mean? Should I go ahead and buy this SRTT or wait, or something?

Lol sorry, "price flip" refers to the price changing from what it was, or "flipping" to the sale price.

Feel free to buynowthanks!

Cheers,
Tony
 
Anyone know if Crusader Kings II is going to go back on sale for $10? I picked it up on steam but my friend missed the sale.

edit: nevermind the pack is still on sale

Geez, I must have gotten lucky with EUIII then with the second batch, though copying the key out and deleting it from the list, hoping it'd work when my lockout expired(it did) helped.

I didn't see the doc, but that smells more like a #(chan/gag) member planting evidence for "lulz".

btw, thanks for the SRTT sale! got my 2 copies right when it went live!
 
I'd be buying mad games if Amazon still price matched Steam, why did they stop doing that?

We do on specific stuff. But in cases where we've literally just run the same or a better deal we're not anymore. It doesn't make sense for us to plan promotions but reward customers for waiting to see what happens everywhere else. For example, we had MP3 at 50% off like 2 weeks before Steam, and they still haven't done Spec Ops at 50% off, or Binary Domain at $9.99, or Shogun Fall of the Samurai at $7.49, Sniper Elite at $14.99.

Also, how upset would you have been if we'd have matched SRTT at $12.49 a few days back and then sold it now for $10?

We want your money dude, but not bad enough to create a negative experience for you.

Cheers,
Tony

That worked out nicely. I bought the DLC for SR3 as a gift to myself on Steam yesterday, bought the base game on Amazon this morning, and grabbed three free Steam keys including the SR3 specops DLC before the Redditors got to it.

I guess that makes sense. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about the google-docgate. I was able to grab UE3 a few hours ago (I really wanted to try this game). Thank you so much Tony!

ps:By the way grabbed Civ5 at $7.5 months ago, what a deal, still enjoying it. Feels good when you check back regular prices.

Solved my own problem; just stuck Napoleonic Wars from my Non-Steam Warband Modules folder into the Steam version's Modules folder, viola' works perfectly (so far!). Might have to move it again if there's an update to either the vanilla warband or Napoleonic Wars.

How are those talks with Kalypso going?

Just saw that GOG is running a Kalypso sale as well so it would seem like they're down to party.

Are they being responsive?

This came up while playing a copy of Family Feud I just got on Steam today. It was literally the second question...
