Oh poo poo, I thought that I was the only goon on the planet that was remotely interested in the looks-lovely-but-fun Clan of Champions! I was mighty annoyed that it didn't have a -50% of -66% off during the Summer Steamsale.

Hey Tony, I ordered Final Fantasy XIV for PC Download, and I want to apply a gift card balance to it, but I can't do it from the order details? Is there a way around this without losing my discount from the gooncave promo code?

Outlaws.
Outlaws needs to run on modern computers. So that has to go through some service like GOG, I'll wager, to spruce it up. Releasing it wouldn't be enough.

Sorry, I can't read lucasarts without thinking about that game ;)

And if you can do it convince Disney to put Lego Pirates on Steam, and then put a sale on it.

Amazon mentions the service will have "competitive prices", suggesting it will at least try to match Steam or Origin. Download prices seem cheaper than standard boxed PC versions - Far Cry 3 for PC is £14.99, or £9.99 to download.

Wonder if the UK store will price match the european sites that Amazon US won't, like GMG and Gamersgate.

Tony: any possibility that you can squeeze steam keys out of the Amnesia devs and give it a sale soon? I know someone who needs 20 (two oh) copies of it before the end of the month :ninja:

I have never regretted a game purchase as vehemently as I did Colonial Marines; it's utter loving poo poo no one should spend money on. It's so bad I've been meaning to e-mail Valve to remove it from my list of games, not a refund, just remove it so I don't have to see it on there.

Back on the topic of Video Games Deals (but only tangentially), would anyone be interested in purchasing me a copy of MK:KE? I don't care if you buy it individually, or purchase the bundle and I just buy the lone steamcode off you. I can pay in paypal bux or in steam wallet, but amazon money is a digital currency I'm temporarily lacking.

To be honest about it, I rented it on PS3 and sort of enjoyed what I played of it. Also, it's down to $5. Also there was a multi-gig patch apparently.

I wanted to impulse buy The Bridge, but it always deadens my impulses when I have to get up, go get my purse, and dig out my card.

For anyone thinking about picking up Street Fighter for the PC, know that GFWL is practically dead and Capcom is releasing yet another version of Street Fighter and this time will be full on Steamworks, so if you hold out a bit more there will be a definitive version soon enough, save your money for that.

That's fine, I sent an email to Amazon and cancelled my amazon pre-order and went through steam. I know Steams pre-order bonuses are weird when it comes to codes, so I just went with safe (and glad I did). Thanks for all the hard work on deals, though, wish I could have spent some money at your store for this one.
