Stay low.
drat, that Ticket to Ride deal is a sweet steal.
You can purchase one of the DLC for $1.99 then get the full game + Drip Drip for free, I almost feel bad for buying it so drat cheap.
edit: If you do this I recommend grabbing any of the dlc other than USA as it's .99 on steam and 1.99 for each of the rest.

Wait, seriously? This is the only reason I bought Bioshock from you. Will it at least work after 30 days?

It's a little... disgruntling? ... that the limitation wasn't mentioned anywhere (as far as I know) when advertising the credit as a part of the Bioshock Infinite purchase. But anyway I'm with Swagger Dagger here; I'd like to know if it will be usable on products like the BI season pass or BNW once they have been out for at least 30 days.

Actually, the BI season pass has been on sale for more than 30 days; has anyone successfully used the credit for that? I was going to take a peek but I don't remember exactly whether the ominous "Buy and Download" button gives you a review of your purchase before committing.

Nope, not a Steam key. You get a code that you enter at Trion's site and you can download the client there.

Amazon support is incredibly helpful, and will doubtless reverse this for you. The handful of times I've had to deal with them have been nothing but awesome (one of the reasons I got a Prime membership).

Also, this code is all over the goddamn place; I just saw it on a couple of different deals sites, and was thinking "drat, that has to be from SA."

Anyone tried that Arena of Heroes game? It sounds interesting, but doesn't have many reviews, which makes me skeptical.

Hey sorry, I missed this when responding yesterday.

The limitation was actually mentioned in multiple places when the promotion was running.

For example, on the detail page for every game the copy describing the deal contained a link to all applicable games, the verbiage used was something like "get a $30 credit for these games (and "these games" was linked). Additionally we noted that it would not work on Pre-orders or Bioshock Infinite itself.

The link from "these games" contained all of the 2K titles we carried at the time. At one point, someone on CAG, and then on Reddit asked if it would work on things that were not yet released yet (like Brave New World or the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass) since they weren't listed on the page of things the credit was good for, at which point I let them know that yes, it will, after 30 days.

Also, yes, the BI Season Pass is credit eligible.

Hope this clears up any confusion.

Responding to a complaint on Reddit about a lack of developer updates on the game, Hi-Rez head honcho Todd Harris said on Reddit and in the Hi-Rez forums that the studio is currently hard at work on its upcoming MOBA, Smite. And even after that, it's unlikely the developer will come back to Tribes: Ascend. Harris elaborated that beyond Smite, the goal is to finish Global Agenda 2, a sequel to Hi-Rez's Unreal Engine 3-powered MMORPG.
