I just bought Lego Lord of the Rings for $20. It's normally $30, and it activates on Steam. I've just been burning through these Lego games like a maniac.

Crap, I didn't notice that Secret World was only through yesterday. Oh well, I probably didn't have enough time to dedicate to it anyways.

Sorry if this is something obvious that I've somehow missed, but is there anyway to see how many $5 credits we've accrued? And do all of our credits automatically go towards the first game on the designated list that we purchase?

ankle posted:Sorry if this is something obvious that I've somehow missed, but is there anyway to see how many $5 credits we've accrued? And do all of our credits automatically go towards the first game on the designated list that we purchase? Good question, I will also add to the OP at one point today: 1. There isn't an elegant solution to look at all your credits. Apologies for this but we are working on something in 2013. 2. Think of your credits like individual $5 bank accounts. When you buy something that the credit is good for, it will deduct a maximum of $5 from the credit and leave you with the remaining for your next purchase, otherwise it will consume the entire $5 and then move to the next one. Hypothetical Examples (I say hypothetical because none of these prices are planned for January): In this example you have 3 $5 credits: 1. Hotline Miami is $2.49 - You buy it and have a $5 credit, your $5 credit is now worth $2.49. 2. You then buy Darksiders 2 for $12.49 you will be charged $10 because the remaining $2.49 from the first credit is used. 3. You buy Battlefield 3 for $9.99, you would be charged $4.99 and 1 entire credit would be used. 4. You buy Dark Souls for $9.99, you would be charged $4.99 and 1 entire credit would be used. Hope this explains better.

Drunk Tomato posted:edit; how about I let the guy himself deal with it? Doesn't look like that will show you any restrictions; just a total. I have $32.99 in credit but looking at the "promotion credit" emails Amazon has sent, I can see that they're for some random stuff I'll never buy: amazon emails posted:Your purchase entitles you to a $12.99 promotional credit, good towards the The Fiesta Online Holiday House Bundle. So my suggestion would just be to search your emails for ones titled "Your Amazon.com Promotional Credit" and keep track of them manually.

The current sale price is most likely a pricematch. Cheers, Tony

Peaceful Anarchy posted:This isn't how it worked last year. Last time they would roll over but limit the maximum individual discount at $5. Is there a reason for the change? It means if a game is $4.99 and you use a coupon you have to buy another one at full price(less 1 cent) before using a second coupon. We're both saying the same thing. Did I misrepresent this? EDIT: Sorry I see what you're saying, you're just mistaken regarding the fact that it didn't work this way last year, this is exactly how it functioned, we will just price things that would normally be $4.99 at $5 so the $.01 penny problem doesn't happen again. NOTE: I am 100% confident that this is how it functioned last year because I had to file a trouble ticket that paged 20 people to fix the penny issue.

A part of me wishes you did this in the coupon/discount subforum as it's the first place I check everyday, but with added Q&As and Interviews I can see why it's not posted over there. This is pretty awesome.

Thanks! It is my hope that the community stuff (Q&A/videos) will grow and be the larger set of conversations in this thread. Several of our publishers want to do some really cool stuff with their customers and I have a great relationship with many of them. I want to do gameplay with the developers/me and my co-workers, more interviews and videos from major industry events (I plan on dedicating a lot more time next year at E3/Pax just creating content), I also need to get links to the ++GoodGames Podcasts.

AmazonTony posted:12/17-12/22: Screw you man! (Just kidding, that's an awesome price) You might as well just have a direct link to my bank account and take it all at the rate things are progressing. Question for you, is the 2012 Editors Choice Games complete and does it reflect the prices that are expected to be during January? Even with $5 credit (of which I have a lot of), most of those games were much cheaper during sales. Although with a $10 credit, some of them are on par or slightly better, so hmm... For anyone whose played Hitman, is the Professional version worth another +$10? I'm leaning towards no. Xaris fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Dec 18, 2012 |

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

AmazonTony posted:12/17-12/22: Sorry to be really dense here but what credit is this exactly? The page mentions under 'special offers' that it counts for the usual $5 credit towards the editor's choice games in January, does this mean that actually we'll get $10 instead for this particular game? or what? Also on a related note I'm guessing there's no way to transfer/gift that promotional credit? I've picked up quite a chunk over the past few months I think, but I probably own all the games I'm interested in from the Editor's Choice list. It'd be nice to gift that credit out to goons who do want to pick up a game - possible/not possible?

You can't gift the codes as they are tied to your account. I will say that the editor's choice list will be expanded as we get closer and into January.

When the LEGO games go on Amazon sale you should get them. LEGO Lord of the Rings is especially good. If you've played older lego batmans or pirates or something, you have no idea how much they have improved. e: DK claptrap or Borderlands 2?

We're currently running $10 off for Amazon Students but that's the only promotion we have planned currently. e: just noticed you specified XBOX, I'm not sure if they have more promos planned because I don't work on that team, the $10 off for students does work for the XBOX version though. rorty posted:What are the odds on Mass Effect Trilogy getting maybe $10-15 off?
