Wasn't today supposed to be an All Video Games Gold Box event? Or can there be multiple Gold Box events running at the same time? :raise:

The deal of the day is the PS3 320 GB PS+ Instant Game Collection Bundle though.

A good pick is the Tantalizing THQ Medley ($4.99) or Darksiders Franchise Pack ($8.19).

So where does Amazon put all these promo codes? I've got all the emails from buying things, but no codes and the only link in the emails just sends me to a list of stuff I can use it on.

Automatically applied to your account.

I know this been answered before, but how come in my Amazon Credit Balance, it shows me having 38 dollars in mp3 and vod credit and 48 in game credit?

That display is not implemented correctly and counts many things wrong.

Doh. Bought the Sega Genesis Classic Game Pack and accidentally bought the non-steam one. Any way I can get these swapped over?

Contact Amazon support about it, from what's been said in this thread, they are cool with swapping them due to mistakes like this.

I want Anno 1404 Steam key
And I want it for $10, $5 with coupon.

Make it happen Tony (please )

This is unlikely since it got pulled from Steam and I doubt Valve would hand out more keys for retail copies of a pulled game.

Is there an explanation of why I have to keep re-entering my payment information? I've had to re-enter it five times so far since the start of December. It's never prompted for this for physical purchases.

My IP and browser have not changed at all, so what gives?

Originally I thought it was tied to the value of the item, but it just tripped for $1.87. It's really annoying. :saddowns:

This is a security measure to protect you, sorry, I know it is annoying but there is a reason for it.

I meant why is it tripping so much unnecessarily, I don't have an issue with the system itself, just how often it's doing it.

I'm looking at all the different versions of Civ 5 and the DLC packs and am wondering: what DLC is left out of the GOTY version? I think I remember reading that the Korea pack wasn't included, but I'm not sure if it was in this thread or one of the two Steam threads (or the generic Video Game deals thread ).

Korea and Ancient Wonders, which has a combo pack on Amazon. It might also lack Mongols too, I'm not sure.

Here as well, the first fiveish times it happened the came back after two or three minutes, but now they haven't for at least 15, and I have a friend patiently waiting on the spare CK2 code.

Sounds like it's an Amazon issue rather than specific to your account then, as I've had the same.

As a heads-up, as far as I can tell you have to buy the physical box to get the mount. The $10 digital download only gives you founder status.

Click 'PC Game' for the $19.99 boxed copy that gets you the bonus perks.

If someone HAS gotten the tawny pack bonus (2000g, fast mount, scrolls) with the $10 digital key, please correct me. But everything I've read while searching for this says it won't work.

Doesn't the founder status itself reward you with a mount? But yeah, the Tawny Pack thing seems to only be for retail copies. I scored a Best Buy physical copy from EBay a few days ago for $10 which nets me three mounts. :v:

Also note that the Tawny Pack mount is actually only for one character, you can't activate it on every character on your account.

What happened to the $20 credit for buying the physical copy of SimCity? Has everyone else gotten it? I don't know if I was supposed to have gotten an e-mail about it or something.

I got it, it was an e-mail with a $20 promotional code.

I know it's not necessary right away, but why is the BioShock Infinite Season Pass flagged to go live at 12AM PST, instead of the game's launch at 12AM EST, or why are keys not going out already for it?

I want to gift a few people but I'm not sure if that's possible with Amazon.

They'll forever remain in your games and software library but you can give away codes just fine, assuming Steam activated codes.

Just a heads up, someone in the Steam thread mentioned they bought the 2K Ultimate Pack from Amazon and now got Bioshock Infinite and the Season Pack from it in their Steam inventory.

This is slightly wrong, that person was one of the people who received the 2K library on Steam through a promotion that AmazonTony did (the one where you didn't own any of 2K's games, I believe?).

I was one who won one of the 2K packs from Tony and yes there is Bioshock Infinite + season pass in my steam library now

You can then reasonably assume that you have free 2K games for life. At least the ones released on Steam. So jealous. :v:

Non-registered users can see linked images like that, I can't recall if attached images (directly to the post) are visible though.

One Click^TM is far and away the shittiest part of the entire Amazon ecosystem. It is a terrible pain in the rear end and impacts my ability to use different credit cards, see if I have promo balances or gift cards, or as noted here, to buy more than digital thing at once. The sooner it fucks off and dies the better because I love Amazon so much otherwise

Having to re-enter my credit card details so often is annoying as hell too.

We're going to recreate that bundle so in future sales it is all steam keys.

Yes, the plan is to get more feedback from you all once we run another round of bundles and then there will be GoonPacks.

There are 48 games in that bundle.

Don't make us enter 48 keys into Steam, Tony. :ohdear:

Okay it'd actually be 12, but still.

You kind of forgot to say what the coupon is for.

Looks like it's 15% off digital game titles.

This man, he speaks the truth, if this doesn't get you resolved just let me know and I'll get you sorted.

Is it OK to go ahead and buy that bundle now knowing that it doesn't have Steam codes then contact support to switch me over to Steam one? I don't see a Steam version of the bundle yet.

You can use GOONCAVE coupon to get 15% off. Probably the best you can expect for awhile.

Tony deals in digital so you'd want to be asking about the physical version instead.
