Interesting that the catalog page there lists all the sub-$5 Darksiders II DLC but the promo email says it has to be $5 and up. I tried both the Death Rides and Argul's Tomb things and neither applied the credit when I went to checkout (I'd buy that pack but I already bought the Season Pass in a previous sale and I don't wanna double-dip on that and pay ~$8 for all those weapon downloads).

I just fixed this, there was some bloat on the pages, gone now.

I don't know if I missed it in the thread already, but has anyone had Sonic Generations actually show up at the $7.49 price listed in the OP? I've only ever seen it for 15, wasn't sure if it was just a pricing error there.

12/16-12/17. Checking what dates I'm showing in the OP.

e: My stubby cheeto talons caused me to fat finger error a '2' instead of a '1' in 12/17.

Sorry about that.

What, I wonder, does this hidden face of madness reveal of the makers? These K'Chain Che'Malle?
I've spent under $25 and have Lego lord of the rings, scribblenaughts and the darksiders pack, so thanks Amazon Tony!

I also found out that almost $ 300 that amazon owed me two years ago, which I gave up on after 6 months of fighting, hadnt been lost to the banking system after all. It was a credit on my .com account, which being British I don't use. So I still have over $250 for later offers and future sales!

Is there anything heading down the pipes that I can use this $5 THQ coupon on? I'm aware of the Darksiders thing and the Metro/Stalker/Homeland/whatever bundle and neither one really grabs me.

e: oh it's today only. Hm.

Well I would recommend the Metro/Stalker one because both those games alone are worth that price separately, let alone together, along with others.

As for games, I bought the Bioshock bundle for my brother who I just discovered has somehow not played Bioshock and when I got the games in my account I only had a Steam key for Bioshock 2, checking Amazon you can definitely buy Bioshock and get a key for Steam, but for some reason this bundle only gave me a key for 2, will I just have to contact support to get a key or am I being blind and missing it somewhere?

Hopefully the same doesn't happen with that Bioshock/Spec-Ops bundle, because I'm buying that to tie B1 to my Steam account and try out Spec which is apparently interesting at the very least.

If not I might just use my THQ credit on a SR3 Complete despite owning the base game from the Humble Bundle, just for all dat DLC.

Red Faction: Armageddon is a surprisingly fun game, it's Magnet Gun is one of the most enjoyable weapon I've used in a while, so much so that I played the whole game with it and barely touched the other weapons. It makes me wish THQ hadn't killed of the franchise.

Tony,

Any chance of a special on Iron Brigade? It wasn't included in Steam's Double Fine daily sale, and is just the winter sale price of $7.50 at the moment.

That's not bad but at a $4-5 I could probably justify buying a few copies for my buddies, at $7.50 its just a bit rich.

If you can do something that would be awesome, if not no worries. Thanks for the awesome sale this year :3:

Sorry if this has been asked, but is the Episodes From Liberty City pack listed here Steam redeemable? The page for GTA IV just by itself say it's Steam-able, but I can't find anything about Steam on the Complete page or the Episodes themselves.

Thanks and Happy Xmas!

edit - also, what's the difference between the Max Payne 3 Season Pass and the Rockstar Pass??

Hey, is Assassin's Creed 2 not part of the Ubisoft $5 coupon thing? I see the other ones, but 2 seems to be missing from the list and when I manually find it, the coupon won't apply. I'd like to start with the (2nd) first one if possible.

I don't know if comments like this help you keep your job / assist you in praise from your superiors but I buy quite a bit of games and currently I'm doing them all through Amazon that I can and will continue to do so.

I followed the link from my email, and it said $10 up until the checkout screen. Then the $5 credit was applied automatically.

GW2 is all around solid. I played the betas of TSW and thought it was mediocre at best. I'd personally recommend GW2.

I got Saints Row 2 at that price (on Amazon). Be warned though, as buggy as the 360 version was the PC version is worse. I love SR2, but every time I play it I can't get it to run more than 30 minutes before it crashes.

Quite frustrating.
