If you have one of the $5 coupons from Amazon, you may be able to get it tomorrow for 5 bucks. That's what I'm going to do.

I only got Simcity 4 and Dear Esther. 
Why are they not fixing it?
Invite sent. MNC group FTW. Have you played SMNC yet?
If you can play chivalry with me thats the only gift I need.

Origin exclusive.
Yup. I already have Borderlands GOTY and the BioShocks, so I couldn't justify spending $10 on it. But $5 is easier to stomach, and I'd be able to gift the BioShocks here and help spread some joy (think I'll gift Borderlands to a friend, with the promise that we play co-op someday).
I loved MNC, but haven't touched the sequel. I really need to, it's just a lack of time and abundance of games!
Walking Dead has taken over my holiday.

It does. I played it earlier this year with no problem. Looked and ran great on my laptop.
It's fun, but not great. Right now it's on the bottom end of my GOTY list.

I'd really like to get Rayman Origins. Wish I knew if it would hit 75% or less sometime during this sale.
It's quite different. Much more MOBA oriented. I have almost 1000 hours so far. Uninstalled to clear our my backlog but if you pick it up, let me know and we'll team up.

Problem is they made it FTP, which I don't dislike, but when I have no cash invested, I feel no pressure to play sooner and get my monies worth, if that makes sense.
It will not.

Very unlikely. Once something is daily/flash deal, it won't go lower (I know of only one exception). Also, Ubisoft is very stingy when it comes to sales and it's the first time the game is lower than 50%.
Although not exactly clear, he was referring to the 2K credit. "If you have one of the $5 coupons from Amazon, you may be able to get it tomorrow for 5 bucks": the 2K credit goes live tomorrow and you can't use the Editor's Choice credit until January.

Actually I'm referring to the same deal.
But I see your point, just wanted to point it out since most people have lots of THQ coupons.

Contemplating buying KOTOR II (played it many times before, still have the CDs somewhere). Is it possible to get the restoration mod working with Steam?
I need more steam friends as well so its win-win
Yes, I know, but I was just making the point that he was referring, albeit unclearly, to the 2K credit specifically.
Got Kotor 2 at last and I'll play it with the mods. It's also nice to get back the same DLC I had for Oblivion on the 360 for cheap (in fact, it did cost me much more on the 360). Really looking forward to playing both Morrowind and Oblivion with the mods while I wait for the GOTY version of Skyrim.

It's probably going to be 7.49 later in the sale.
Amazon version does.
Like Nabs said, it'll almost certainly be a flash/daily/community choice sale at $7.50.
The Amazon listing is a shame, as Ubisoft was supposed to have learned that DRM is ineffectual and only serves to screw over your paying customers. It was originally released DRM-free so I guess they actually added that DRM months after release, unless the page listing is in error. The Steam copy though is DRM-free and I think can be run without running Steam.

On Amazon yes, on Steam no.
Further to this, the Steam version is completely DRM-free.

I still believe that Amazon made a typo there, but since nobody around here actually tried I go with that line.

I think the physical retail release is completely DRM free.
And it was also said that the Steam version would have no third-party DRM, which implies Steam CEG, so the actual situation is something of an inverse:
Edit:
Ah, yeah, you're right.
You are welcome!

What are people's expectation for Dark Souls? Any chance of 75% off?
Wondering whether I should jump on the Amazon sale.

Jump. Steam isn't beating anyone this round.
