Why do they always have to make the prices a little higher than what the discount should be. What's the point of the $5 coupon then. Bioshock Infinite should be $10 usually. Really we're only getting $2 off then. So much for $5 off.

yeah, why they don't just give away games for free?
imho $8 for Bioshock Infinite is such a steal, makes me sad a bit. I very rarely buy a game at full price, but this kind of discounts make you never want to buy them right on release (i bought Bioshock Infinite at 7.5€ on steam btw). I'm not even talking about Dead Space 3 getting in humble bundle so soon after release (well, maybe they know better how to increase their profit, let's hope game quality doesn't drop on future games)

I think Tony said they're adding games every day (or every other day). So hopefully you'll/we'll get some good games that we don't have yet. :)

And since they already added Borderlands and XCOM and all that junk then we're in for a good time.

I bought Bioshock Infinite for my wife, but the game's name in the Account Details is "Bioshock Infinite Retail (NA)". Is that region locked too? Last time I bought the game for me the game's name was "Bioshock Infinite Retail (WW)".

My two purchases are gonna be Brothers and Contrast.

But... I seem to be having problems figuring out how to get the EC credits to work. I only get the Buy and Download option... disappointing. Any tips on how to fix this or point out how much of an idiot I am cuz I do not know how to do it right?

If you have any credits, it will automatically apply when you hit Buy and Download. This will bring you to a confirmation screen. Make sure it says "Promotion Applied: -$5.00" before you actually click the purchase button!

Thanks for explaining this. That removes any last bit of hesitation or doubt I would have in making a purchase using the EC credit. Definitely gonna add these two great games to my collection now... once I have the monies come the end of the week.

What is that mystical animal EC that magically lowers the price for 5$ and how do you obtain one?

10 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Purchasing select items from Amazon during december (mainly downloadable games I belive) adds a $5 coupon to your account which can be used during their Editor's Choice sale in january.
There's no way to get them now as they are tied to ones account.

I paid using Amazon gift balance already on my account without issue. Not sure what's up with your issue, but I'd recommend getting them on a live chat or the phone before it gets too late. Their cs can be really helpful.

If people really want non-Steam games, I'll put them up, but I usually try to include the Steam items mostly (since this is pretty much a Steam forum :P). Thanks for bringing it up though!

With all the different subjects and topics we get on the forum I don't see why we couldn't be reporting good deals just because they're not on Steam. Just identify them as non-Steam deals..

Oops, kind of made a mistake there. I usually include most of the Steam deals, and a few of the good non-Steam deals. It's more difficult for me to judge those, since I have no idea about price history unlike the sales for Steam.

Anyways, I added this one and will keep your feedback in mind.

For real. There's Takedown: Red Sabre with a metascore of 32, Ace Patrol which is a ported mobile game, Battlefield 4 which I've heard still has serious bugs, and countless older games not even released in 2013. Sure, they don't specify that they have to be released in that year, but was the past year that bad for PC game releases that they had to fill their list with really old games? Don't get me wrong, I'm slightly tempted to at least try Takedown and Ace Patrol looks fun, but they and the rest of the list are a terrible sampling of recent games. Alright, well I hardly care about how awful this list is, so I'm not sure why I just typed up this whole rant...

From the the last 2 years - most of the better deals came in the latter part of the month. Most of them right now are EA and 2K because apparently they respond the fastest. I guess their employees don't get as much time off during the holidays :P

Ace Patrol is a lot of fun, especially since its both games (with 9 cards total) for $1. I could see why it'd work well on a phone or tablet, but it works just fine on a PC. Great little time waster.

Do you get extra copy for Takedown: Red Sabre if you activate it ?

Yes or no :P

They recently added version (for keys and steam store) that doesn't give extra copy.
However Steam store still uses older that gives extra copy.

So 50%/50% I guess...

How do you find out when the sale will end? I want to get Brothers if nothing else, and don't even know if I'll play it, but really want to see what else comes up (and I only have one promotion thing to spend)

Brothers is pricematched to Steam, which actually has a clear label on when it ends. I expect the pricematch to end when the midweek madness ends.
