So I enter youtube today and there's a video recommendation on my frontpage (by "Youtube") with a massive Far Cry 3 spoiler in the title.. MOTHERFUCKER!! Not that I think that game is winning any awards for its story, but still, shit sucks.

Shows up as 51% discount still here in the US.

Must be an issue with the Aussie store, then. It's like an inverted Aussie Tax: a better deal that one can't take advantage of, rather than a worse proposal that one would rather avoid. :p
 
Resident Evil 5 on GMG is £3.50 with GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 for UK people right?
Link

Steam is not going to beat that, so would anybody be willing to buy that for me?

i HAVE A Question about Mass Effect on Steam:
Does ME1 come with ALL the DLC? My region only shows ME1 and ME2 Digital Deluxe, so do both come with all their respective DLC?

You'll need to download Bring Down the Sky separately because EA/Bioware were insane there, and ME2 will definitely need to have the DLC purchased on Bioware's store.

I just ordered the Battlefield Premium but I get a message saying my order is under review and it's not listing my game. Any reason this may be happening?

Did you miss this part? 'CD KEY Download for PC'

I'm not a complete idiot, this was the message it gave me when I entered my payment details and tried to buy the CD key. I'm not sure if this may have occured to anyone, but could it be possible that this deal doesn't work in Australia due to regional locking, maybe? Could that potentially be the issue where? As opposed to me being too stupid to read the CD Key download part, that I was aimed to get in the first place?

I'm aware nothing has to be shipped, fuck.
 
Can't buy from Spain, are those steam keys anyway?

Origin, I imagine. I used the IAMANELDERGEEK and got an extra 5% off, making it $11.88. Worth it just so I don't have to dig out my C&C: The First Decade discs to play some more Generals: Zero Hour.

Any place beating gamefly's $5 hotline miami? Missed the promo code ]:

Oh man, I must've barely got my Dishonored and The Walking Dead in time! *Checks* Yup, used at 11:51 PM. I didn't even realize that it was expiring that soon!

Wasn't implying you were stupid, sorry if it came off like that :(

I'm pretty sure that's just a system problem, it doesn't look like they are properly equipped for DD so if you enter a non UK address it would still block you as if it were a retail purchase, find a random UK shipping address and use that.
 
I want to grab dark souls for 15 on amazon right now... but debating if I should wait for steam sale @.@.

Amazon has dark soul priced for 17.99 on the 26th as well so not exactly sure whats happening there.

The 18$ sale goes into January i believe, making it work with the 5$ credit, bringing it down to 13$

I got a screen saying its under manual review, but I got a PayPal receipt, so that means I got it, right?
edit: they just updated my account, gottit. Bf 3 and premium for £16.21 or near enough. Awesome.

It's priced at $18 there because people's $5 off coupons will activate during the new year so they'll be getting it for $13.

I hope Tony has Steam keys for the Far Cry 3 DDE by January. So far nothing's come of the retail subs that were added to the registry last month.

Amazon's Dark Souls is a steam key right? If so I think I'll just grab it there because it won't be lower than $15 this sale on steam directly.

Any chance at a Steam Kingdoms of Amalur + DLC sale? Want to bite on the Amazon Origin sale, but would much rather prefer it on Steam.

Yep it's a Steam key. I'm tempted to get it too but I feel like I might end up ragequitting from it.

Doubtful. The developers of KoA self-published onto Steam, but now that they're under, apparently discounts are no longer possible -- at least until something gets done with the rights to the Steam version.
 
Here's a list of games everyone should buy from Amazon right now

  • Dark Souls
Enjoy.
It's a Steam key and I doubt it'll be cheaper on Steam. It's also the best game ever.

Cheapest I've ever seen it is $8 US (Base game, Origin version, GMG - 75% off + discount code).

I've never seen it go on sale on Steam.

**Edit** Apparently the collection, base game, and dlc have been 33% off earlier this year, in April.
