It's pretty great that we are discussing Amazon sales on a Steam sales thread.

a lot of them activate on Steam

 

[Teknoman]

This is strange. Was there a give away of Civ 5 or something? I decided to check my library (all games, not just installed) and it was just...there. I've never downloaded the demo, checked out the page a few times because it seemed interesting, and I dont think I was ever gifted the game...but its in my library for some reason.


Going to install and see whats up.

It's pretty much a general holiday PC DD (with Steam activation) thread at this point.
And that's good, because people save insane amounts of money that way.

 

[Wok]

Is the deal on Steam for Rayman Origins ($10/10€) the best deal currently available?

It was a pre-order bonus with X-COM if you happened to have bought that.

 

[foomfoom415]

welp i guess that's that

also, shameless re-plug of the steam trading topic
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=465398&page=15

Crap, I did the same thing. And for some reason it never occurred to me that each piece of DLC would be its own product key. This is going to take some time...

If you're particular about any DRM outside of steam then yes, it's the best deal right now.

Yep. It also hasn't been much cheaper before anywhere else. Good time to buy it on Steam IMO.

 

[Teknoman]

Wow, that completely went over my head then. I was gifted X-COM awhile ago, so that explains it.

 

[GasProblem]

Decided to buy Rayman. Been replaying the Donkey Kong Country games so I'm in a platformer mood. Also bought Portal 2

This sale has been pretty good for me. All the Monkey Island games, Psychonauts, Portal 2, Rayman.

Still need to finish Dark Souls as well (didn't even get to Blighttown)

I don't need to buy any games in 2013 (but I will )

 

[Speevy]

Good grief, comparing the Dreamcast bundle on Amazon with the Steam cost of just Jet Set Radio is...wow.


EDIT: 5 seconds after I said that it's unavailable.

EDIT 2: Back

 

[zkylon]

Yes, had the same problem. Just reboot, and it should be fine afterwards. Well, the no sound during cutscenes part. It won't fix the turret sequence (which really wasn't that bad, I thought).

Reboot the game or my PC?

And yeah, it's not that bad but I hate turret sequences with a passion, so it's not the best way to start a game.

So far it's been pretty good, a decent amount of mystery and weirdness and gunplay is fun enough.

 

[Quick]

Is it safe to buy Sleeping Dogs? Looking to gift it to a friend.

I'd hate to suddenly see it go on a further price drop than what it is now.

 

[Rainy Dog]

Well, this is my first Steam sale and I must say that I'm thoroughly enjoying myself.

Just bagged three of the Tomb Raider games this morning to take my damage to just shy of £70 so far... The way it's heading I'll probably have accumulated more PC games within the space of a couple of weeks than I have console games in the last 5 years!

Now I just have to wait until the New Year to migrate ISP's before I can download any of them nevermind actually play them. On a capped service at the moment and living dangerously at 95/100gb on my monthly allowance for December...

Anyway, I have 0 Steam friends so please feel free to add RainyDug anyone. I'm a grumpy mid thirties UK gaffer if you need any enticing

Merry Christmas everyone!

Its $17.49 on amazon, ends tomorrow.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Is there a thread for coordinating 4-packs of games? Would love to get in on a Borderlands 2 4-pack if possible.

 

[O.DOGG]

Reboot your PC. That worked for me.

 

[Quick]

Oh shit.

Is it redeemable on Steam? I should add that I'm in Canada.

EDIT: dur, "Steam account required."

Just to triple check: I can buy it, and it gives me a code, right?

 

[Wok]

My purchases so far:

• Unmechanical
• Sleeping Dogs (from Green Man Gaming)
• Rayman Origins

 

[Kurtofan]

Are Sonic games playable with a keyboard?

 

[Gintoki]

Oh shit.

It does redeem on steam. Just use an american address.

 

[zkylon]

Ok, thanks a bunch.

 

[Jables Swan]

Didn't think the wife would go for it but I did end up getting both. It is Christmas after all.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

So, I just 100%'d Scribblenauts roughly 24 hours after buying it >.>

Also, I'm doing a giveaway for some keys I got in bundles for games I already owned:

Heh, such a good holiday game. Stuck at the families place for xmas week and have been sneaking off to play this on my laptop.

Time to start creating content and sharing on the PC community?

 

[Alex]

There is a copy of Darksiders in this post, if anyone would like it.

 

[kami_sama]

Damage so far:
- Darksiders Franchise pack 10€ (Amazon)
- Sleeping Dogs + Nightmare on Northpoint DLC 12€ (GMG)
- Scribblenauts Unlimited 5€ (Amazon)
- Saints Row 3: The complete package 2€ (Amazon)

Total so far: 29€

Nothing on steam so far, lol

 

[Dusk Golem]

Depends which Sonic. The 2D games can easily. But the 3D ones are a lot harder.

 

[lolmoose]

Waiting on Civ 5 to hopefully go on sale.

 

[Lain]

Voted for Giana Sisters, hope it wins so I can get it!

 

[Antiwhippy]

So does the mass effect bundle include the DLC?

 

[DiscoShark]

No moose no! Wishing for any game to go Steamception (Saleception?) during the Steam Sale is the only surefire way of ensuring it will NEVER happen.

Got it! Thanks so much!

No

 

[Antiwhippy]

No

Huh.

Actually, looking at steam, can you even get the ME2 DLC?

 

[JaseC]

Huh.

You have to purchase it via the BioWare Social Network.

 

[sixclaws]

Nope you need to buy it through Bioware using their Bioware points.

 

[Teknoman]

Just grabbed it via Amazon too. For 8 bucks, why not? Was a fan of the first one, but sat out Super Scribblenauts.

Might try gifting a few people random wishlist items sometime tomorrow.

 

[DunderHassan]

It will go on sale tomorrow on amazon.com, so your wait will not be much longer.
Also, if you previously bought a 2k publisher game this year, you will get additional $5 off the game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Argh.

Do I even need to bother? Or want to?

 

[JaseC]

Can't people lose their keys or get them revoked if you try to bypass it? Isn't it in the TOS somewhere?

To answer this, no. At worst Amazon will want to manually process the order to ensure it's legit, but there's certainly been no cases of keys being revoked. CC companies actually provide a system for online checkout software that allows retailers to quickly and easily cross-check a user's nominated billing address against that of the card holder, but Amazon forgoes this, and I'd wager it's because the company sees a sizeable volume of international orders. Better to turn a blind eye than to, well, be Gamefly.

Thats totally not shopped.

 

[Rainy Dog]

Nope, not that I can tell unless you count the bonus stuff in the ME2 deluxe edition. Was there any DLC for ME1? Can't see any on Steam...

I've done quite well when it comes to Mass Effect these past couple of days. The second one is the only one I've played being a PS3 only gamer for the past few years. So picked up ME1 in this Steam sale and managed to grab ME3 whilst it was £3.50 or so from GamersGate for a few minutes the other day.
