Wait? When did this happen to GameFly?

A few days ago.
There was a thread and Cheddahz posted it in here.

No uk edition?

Doesn't look like it. Shame, £9 is the price I'd be happy to pay for Castlevania 2

Metro Redux is now pre-loadable. I can't say how large the install/download sizes are, though, since there are no depots in the bundle sub. Somebody's asleep at the wheel!

I'm semi sort of psyched for Ground Zeroes. Despite playing the meat of it already I do want to see what the PC version can do and what the potential for MGS V is later down the line. A release date would be nice but if it just pops up out of the blue I'd be fine with that either way. I do get the feeling though Konami would be best served in making a big fan fare for it though to drum up some business (look at how mad the Rising first day of Winter Sale discount went down).

I'm more interested in the PC specs, but I'll still probably buy it as soon as it comes up.

How much did you pay for The Pre-Sequel? It worked out £25.99 at my end which is in and around $43.

I....actually haven't picked it up yet. Not sure if I will to be honest. I put up probably 100 hours in the series mixed between solo and co-op. I tried firing up the DLC a few weeks ago and just couldn't get into it again. And with my brother busy

Spoiler

in the Army

for the foreseeable future, my co-op buddy is gone. I'll probably pick it up down the line, but I need a break from the formula for a while.

With DR3 and Dragon Age on the horizon, I should be good for quite a while as well.

 

[JaseC]

May have been asked, but is CoD Advanced Warfare ROW, or is the RU version locked? I saw some chatter on a IRC chat that it's ROW but has a tag.

The Eastern European subs are region-locked tight and the rest of the subs list Russia and its ilk as purchase-restricted countries, so traders can't buy them on the cheap. ACRTAG isn't present, though, so Brazilian copies are an option.

Well that serves me right for getting stuck in with work for once then!

I can't either due to both saying they are only 150mb. I think the last time that happened was Abyss Odyssey.

I'm more interested in the PC specs, but I'll still probably buy it as soon as it comes up.

I think we're all going to be fine in regards to specs as it ran pretty well on PS3 for me. 1280x720 @ 30fps mind but was a pretty consistent experience so fingers crossed unless something gets totally stuffed up during optimization I don't think it's going to need ungodly power to run it at 1920x180@60.

I'm swimming in game thats I own let alone the next 3 months where I'll be drowning in them with what I have my eye on or preordered already. I think after The Witcher III I'm going game purchasing cold turkey until I get some games shifted or consigned to the scrap heap.

 

[BruteUA]

Well this worked out pretty nicely.

 

[Ezalc]

Hell yeah idling bro.

Glorious day:

That makes three of us! Though I didn't get a screenshot, my last game was Zeno Clash 2.

 

[Stumpokapow]

The other day. I contacted support to have them shut down my account as a result.

 

[JaseC]

Been accumulating some idle card money, and what I haven't spent on emoticons I think I'm going to try to spend on games that never go on sale. My two prime targets are Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock ($8.99 at release, $9.99 the next week, no sales ever--and it's licensed so presumably could be yanked at any given moment... not significantly cheaper in Russia or Brazil) and Secret of Monkey Island SE ($9.99 at release, has been as low as $2.49, but hasn't gone on sale in a year. $5.50 or so in Brazil but no discount in Russia. LOL Disney LOL).

Guess what's 75% off for the next few days.

Edit: D'oh, wrong game. I could have sworn it said The Eternity Clock in the registry.

Someday the Argentinian currency is going to be available and is going to be cheaper than Russia. I bet my account on it, no ETA though.

The pre-load seems will start at Sunday, according to the official Metro Redux twitter account.

The best thing of all is that we won't even have to pay! If Valve asks for their money, we can just call them vultures

The solo subs are already pre-loadable as they have the main data depots. I wonder if DS will just go with it or revert the status of the apps.

 

[jshackles]

So with all the new currencies coming out on Steam, I decided to re-write Enhanced Steam's "Account Total Spent" feature. As there will be an increasing number of users who will have both USD and their new currency listed on purchases on their account, I decided I would take a different approach to the existing "assume everything is the same currency" approach I had previously.

So now when you visit your account page in Enhanced Steam, it will:

• Determine your account's currency type, based on how your wallet balance is formatted
• Get a table of rate conversions into that currency from the Enhanced Steam API
• Start going down your list of purchases
• If a purchase amount is in your account's currency type, add it to the total
• If a purchase isn't in your account's currency type, determine which currency type it's in and convert it using the rate table. Then, add it to your total.

The result is that any purchases made before your account was converted to a new currency will still be accurate in this total. For testing, I modified how my wallet balance was displayed. These are the results:

(these figures are all the same amount, once converted to USD)

When this update goes live (hopefully very soon) this will also be more accurate for those Brazilian users who made purchases on Steam before Real were accepted.

The other day. I contacted support to have them shut down my account as a result.

Seeing that my last GameFly purchase was Fallout New Vegas when they were still operating under Direct2Dirive I think I might do the same. Though after the Heart Bleed kerfuffle earlier this year and trying to shed my excess accounts my experience with customer services and support had been like smashing my skull against a titanium wall. Oh well at least they provide and easy link.

They probably will just leave the 150MB there and make people confused

Haha, that wouldn't be overly surprising.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Any specific reason like them doing some shady business in the past?

Gamefly had my actual personal information (billing address, full name) at one point. I gave it to them because they had been in business for a long time and seemed reputable. I don't know AtGamers to know if I trust them or not but they seem mostly to do those patent-expired clone hardware systems you see. I don't necessarily trust that they'll keep my information secure. As a result, I'd rather the information be deleted before it's transferred to their control. I don't typically give personal information to random sites--IndieGala has me as "Q Z" for a name, for example.

One day we will be able to buy steamcard/get steam funds via PagoFacil. One day...

Added funds to buy keys for Freedom Cry and completely forgot about the one week market ban. Do you think that there will be some copies available a week from now?

 

[Arcteryx]

So, I need headphones more accurate than a Grado SR 80. Lovely resonance, but I want something specifically for games (read: Counter-Strike). Any suggestions?

IMO go with Sennheiser HD 595(or if you want the "newer" model, the 598; read up on head-fi.org regarding the two, as it's primarily a cosmetic upgrade).

I gamed with the 595s for a LONG time and they served me well, both casually and professionally in tournaments.

Doesn't seem to be.
Above that seems to be better buy Black Flag Gold or wait for sale or wait for sale ~1.5 keys at Russian price.

Does anyone know if that gamefly konami sale will still be going tomorrow?

 

[Cozmogramma]

copies? yes.

Hmm. I mean I'm willing to get it for three keys but if it goes for higher than that I think I won't bother. Save it for something else.

Two keys now.

Yeah, DLC/Standalone DLC for ACIV. Pricing mistake in Japan a couple of days ago.

That's why I'm not going to pay 2 keys. And I already own Black Flag on Uplay which I haven't touched yet. So it's a case of 'buy if deal is excellent, no problem if it never happens'.

Yeah, when I tried to trick the system a few years ago my order was flagged for manual processing. I decided to take the initiative and e-mailed GameFly, explaining that it wasn't a "fake" order but rather I was just an international customer, however not only was my order cancelled but my account disabled.

If you're thinking of getting Music Creator Touch 6, I'd recommend buying Sonar X3, which is also a Cakewalk product, instead. It's only 4€ more than MCT6 and has way more features.

Here's a great breakdown of the differences between MCT6 and Sonar X3:

Been a satisfied Music Creator Touch user, but couldn't pass SX3 for that price. Super easy to use software to make some tunes.

Do these daily challenges repeat, like are there say only 50 unique challenges that get shuffled? Or is it impossible to make a missed one. Plan on getting it sometime down the line and it would suck to not be able to make them.
