Tony, NFS Rivals is currently 63% off, is this any kind of promoted or featured deal? Can you say how long this discount will run for?

Krad posted:Hey AmazonTony, question: what's the deal with Amazon's PSN section? I don't think I've seen many new releases there ever since it opened... I was mainly hoping to see Lightning Returns on there because I have some credit left over, but no luck. Do you know anything about any upcoming updates? Going to second this... I doesn't look like it was ever changed since it launched.

I'd also like to know as well, considering I have some PSN-only credit from Amazon Trade-In that expires at the end of the month. It would be great to know if Rayman Legends or Thief would be available before then.

Any chance you guys can sell the new Strider, even if it not discounted?

Any chance of a discount on the Titanfall preorder? I know it's been offered for ~$45-$50 on GMG and Gamefly, but I appear to have missed both of those promos.

Tony, I entered the Thief contest, but the discount code I got seems to be invalid. Is there something up with the key generator?

I also had some difficulty submitting my contribution in the Thief Modding contest, and now it seems all codes are gone. Would be interested to know when there is any news on this, thanks.

No worries, Tony Just tried uploading again, got this message after my video had slowly uploaded to 100%: "You must upload a valid video file." It was in mpg-format. Is this not a valid format or is the page not working yet? Will wait a while anyway, before trying again. EDIT: Tried again, this time with avi-format. Guess I'll just wait a little longer before trying again. Downs Duck fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Feb 20, 2014 |

Has anyone else managed to upload their contribution on the Thief Modding Contest yet? I've been trying to upload my contribution for some hours now, and the video is never uploaded/accepted. EDIT: Two things: 1. Finally managed to register my information in the contribution box/page, and this text shows up: Your Thief code is: (CODE) Instructions: Click here & add to cart: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009IXL5FO/ref=dsvrt_review_asin_detail Enter your code into "Gift Codes & Promotions" Click "Apply & Checkout" The link takes me to the Amazon store page for Thief Gold. I can't see anywhere on that link where it says "Add to cart", so I assume it means I should click "Buy and download" on the right. After clicking I am prompted to put in my account password, as usual when buying from Amazon. But when I enter the code under "Gift Codes & Promotions" and click "Apply" I get the following message in red: "This code is not valid." Guess there are still some issues to iron out? 2. Also, I am unsure if the video uploaded correctly because of all the mess. Is there anyone/anywhere I can verify it has uploaded and been received? EDIT: Simply sent a request to Amazon.com Customer Service today, asking them to take a look. Downs Duck fucked around with this message at 10:06 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Got my answer from Amazon Customer Service: Hello, I'm sorry to hear about the problem you had. I'd love to help you via email but the problem you've reported requires to speak with you over the phone. Please give us a call so we can try some real-time troubleshooting and ensure we resolve this concern to your satisfaction. I realize that, at this point, asking you to contact us again would be disappointing; however, we really feel that the best way to assist you with this concern is over the phone. Your patience and understanding is highly appreciated in this matter. we can be reached using the Contact Us option on our Amazon Instant Video help pages: http://www.amazon.com/help/instantvideo Be assured that we are here to take care of any issue you've encountered and ensure we resolve your concern to the fullest of your satisfaction. We hope you can call us soon so we can help solve this problem quickly. Thanks for your patience and understanding. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Best regards, They already have all my information, and I was logged into my Amazon account when I provided my info and video contribution. I've given them the code in question and provided all details they need to investigate the issue. And now they need me to call them too? Since the code in question is an Amazon redeemable code, and not a Steam code, why can't they just verify the code has been used or not, and give out a new code? I'm not really angry about this, and I have a Thief Gold retail copy already, so no biggie. But it seems like a ham-handed way of solving a simple issue. Also, it would have been great to see if my mod suggestion actually had some merit in the contest or not. Ah, whatever, I don't think I will bother with this anymore, but I must say I'm somewhat disappointed in the execution of this contest though, it sure could have used a little better planning beforehand. Best of luck to the other participants Update: Tried one more time to click the link from the contest, and get the code to work, but now the Thief Gold Amazon Store page it sends me to says Thief Gold is unavailable :/ Downs Duck fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Feb 21, 2014 |

Stick100 posted:Yeah I got a code without an upload but it looks like they ran out of Thief Gold keys a long time ago. I thought maybe they ran out of Steam keys first, and then had to switch to handing out Amazon Gift Codes, like the one I got (which didn't work). And then they ran out of Thief Gold copies. Here's to hoping Tony can shed some light on the issue, when he's recovered from eating that gummy bear. EDIT: Finally managed to get a working code by signing up with another email account. Don't know if the video uploaded though, would be nice to have a list of contribtions or something to get a verification. Downs Duck fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Feb 24, 2014 |

So uh, I'm in Canada and I'm trying to get in on the Kingdoms of Amalur deal, but the website keeps throwing me the "Game Downloads are only available to US customers" page. I'm using a gift card in USD meaning I can't imaging they even need to bill my credit card, I'm using unblock-us so location finding things I'm in the states. Is there any way around this besides waiting till the next time I travel to the US?

You probably need to set your billing address to the US. e: If that doesn't work then yeah..if you have someone in the US you trust you could try letting them log into your amazon account and see what happens.

Tony, I noticed you guys sell the Steam version of Goodbye Deponia but I wasn't able to find one for Deponia or Chaos on Deponia. You should totally see if you could fix that and also ideally feature them in a great sale!

Any plans to put Scribblenauts Unmasked on sale again? I know it was just on sale a few weeks ago, but about a week after the Amazon sale on it, a friend came to me all like, "Why isn't every game on Steam really cheap like you always say they are? I want Scribblenauts Unmasked." so I'm trying to keep an eye on sales for him.

Tony, is there any way you can work your magic and get us a deal on Trine 2 for PS4? I would like to play it on that platform, but I can't justify paying $20 when it's currently $3 on PC.

My guess is that it was always meant to only last for a year or so as an attempt to get more people adjusted to the idea of preordering their games through Amazon.

I knew you guys would see it before I posted here. I was trying to write something more Goonish for my farewell post here and ended up not getting it done yesterday. I'm really sorry. That being said, here's what I WOULD have said to inform you guys of my departure: SomethingAwful is the latest community I've added to the group of people we interact with. I wish I would have had more time to be around more often than I was but you guys had a huge impact on several large scale projects I was involved in. You also made the transition document I wrote as "we need to keep our presence here active and expand quite a bit on what I've been doing here". Specifically, I met a number of the developers and organizations that were super important to our Indie Store Launch here, and you guys have been phenomenal in terms of getting the word out across the internet about our deals. I'll actually probably be around SA more now that I'm not selling video games anymore, hopefully you all still enjoy my posting. Thanks again Goons, hanging out on SA has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my career.
