I think Alice: Madness Returns The Complete Collection for 5$ after Coupon (Origin) is worth mentioning :P I never saw it so cheap before. This Complete collection also contains the first Alice game which doesn't come with the Alice : Madness Returns on Steam. This will be from 1/13 to 1/16.

Unfortunately, that's only really useful if you've never got any other promotions from Amazon. Mine looks like:
SOFTWARE/VIDEO GAMES $463.22
Which would be great if I wanted 17 more DRM-free copies of Doom & Destiny, or whatever those are for.

I'm having a similar issue, but I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. I tried applying the discount to Doom & Destiny, but it didn't apply either. Doesn't seem to apply to anything and I'm not aware of any discounts I've earned otherwise.

SOFTWARE/VIDEO GAMES
$178.70
bwuuuuuuuuuuh? Checked it out after hyperventilating for a bit and it does not apply any discount for me on any video games (I thought I already used up my EC credit) or the software I tried (first one that popped up, some turbotax thing). Weird, I wonder what that's about.

If you bought something over the summer, they had a free indie games promo thing where you'd get stuff like The Maw, and some other games free. I know Guns of Icarus Online and Foreign Legion Buckets of Blood were other titles. They varied from time to time, but look up "amazon free indie games summer" on Google and add a few to your cart and see if they come up as free. Even if the price changed, those will always be free. Its a big reason why a lot of people have crazy amounts. I have like 8 copies of Drip Drip or some crap like that. Its a DRM free title.
The other option you have is to contact their support. I did that a few months ago and they sent me a list of all the promo credits Ive received and what they are for.
The NBA2K14 promo mentioned in this string also was a big one. Its $5 off that title and you got it when you bought ANYTHING 2K over a period of time.

Unfortunately, the amount displayed there is not necessarily accurate. It includes all software/video game credits, including random things (at least for me) like $10 off preorder of NBA 2k14 and Saint's Row IV. Basically credits that are completely useless now.

Thus far, the deals last year were definitely better and more interesting. Hotline Miami, Dark Souls, The Walking Dead, the Microsoft 5-game Arcade Pack, THQ & Paradox Bundles -- just to name a few that I remember.
Edit: another thing that hurts it is that many of the currently announced or running deals are not at least as good as the holiday deals were
Edit 2: Amazon's selection of Indie games also hasn't expanded enough in the past year unfortunately

Goooooooooooooooooodddddddddddddddd fucking damnit garbage dealssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Now that I got it out from my system, Amazon need to catch up like they did last year. Last year's EC was amazing, now it feels like it's being handled by morons who can't make up a deal.
Comment has been collapsed.
Amazon = West Coast. Always later when deals launch.
Then again, usually pre-programmed to hit at Midnight PST. So...yeah. Wonder if it'll be up.
It's not on any of the lists I see, so I wonder if it's a hush-hush deal for CAGers that we'll end up finding?
Comment has been collapsed.
Ok need people's opinions on these two deals:
Both are $5. I'm not sure about the bundle one, as Saboteur seems to be a bad game while Syndicate seems to be a good one. Also heard good things about the Alice game. Let me know. Thanks

What the fuck? I have Radeon HD 5450 on my laptop and I can play it on 1366x768 with no problems.

Alice: Madness Returns is a good game, but if you don't care about the old original game that it comes bundled with and you'd rather have Alice: MR on Steam, it generally goes for about $5 whenever it's on sale (at least in the US region anyway). Also, the extra content that is in the Origin version like the bonus costumes and weapons can also be unlocked in the Steam version by editing a setting in a config file (there is a sticky topic in the Steam forums about it). For whatever reason EA did not enable this by default.

I think you both are talking about past. Right now, AMD drivers are a lot better, imho, they are better than Nvidia's. With NV card and drivers, every single time I turned off any game, the drivers just stopped working. Yeah, like it's normal. Then I changed from NV to AMD and everything was perfect. Still is.
Comment has been collapsed.
Of course. I've once had that error myself, another driver (from windows update) caused it, I removed it and it was fine. Who's to blame? My onboard soundcard (my 2nd pc with the same motherboard but another rev = other soundcard, didnt had the issue even tho it had the same updates). People just love to blame it on something else instead of trying to fix it :P
Since it's a very small minority who has that issue (probably all to blame on something else, or a broken gpu). Yup, no one has problems, else the internet would be on fire by now (angry gamers aren't something you mess with). And AMD still messes up from time to time (nvidia too but not that much).
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, Isn't it obvious that Nvidia messed up with their drivers? Why would such a great company (no sarcasm in that, I had a lot of their hardware in my life already) make such a "uncompatible" drivers/control software with other programs. It ridiculous. It's like making a coffee that is not compatible with some coffee makers and when you want to make in one of them, it comes out as an, I don't know, slime or something.
I'm not saying AMD is saint in that but, hey, even if it uses (Catalyst Control Panel) .Net Framework 4 it doesn't have such a problems. Both supplier drivers have their flaws.

We are almost halfway through the month... surely they will add more stuff... r-right?

Last year: ran out of EC coupons wishing I had more.
This year: half way through January and still nothing to use them on...

Still hoping for a XCOM sale somewhere to be matched. 2 weeks to go.

I thin I'll go with the cheaper one available thanks to Renjility's Game Mega Deals.
Already have all the classics, and it seems both DLCs are not worth the price (one only for skins, the other for 3 static missions and a weapon)
Comment has been collapsed.
in addition to Simowl's answer: you would see the $5 discounted from the price before your go through with the purchase

I notice on all of them it says "Note: Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address." I used a U.S. Billing address last time - just wondering if anyone can confirm that Brothers a tale of two sons will not be region locked will be a Steam key? Planning on giving it away here and don't want any complications.

I, too, chuckled at their inclusion of Takedown: Red Sabre. Maybe Day One: Garry's Incident will show up too. I am however considering getting Takedown just to try it and in hopes that it improves. I like tactical shooters (currently trying to get my hands on a copy of SWAT 4). It also supposedly gives you an extra copy in your inventory.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got it just to get the extra copy in inventory. Its selling for 2 keys on Outpost, so why not. It was only 2 bucks and I have so much damn credit that I wanted to spend.
One note: At least with my gift copy, it says "Not Tradable" for a month. The exact wording is:
""( Not Tradable )
Gifts become tradable after a Steam account has been in good standing for at least 30 days. This gift will become tradable on Feb 13. See the Steam Trading FAQ for more information.""
This is odd to me, b/c my acct is in good standing and I buy games all the time. It may be b/c its the Amazon version. Its still giftable though.
Some dude on Takedown's forums says its gotten better. It was 2 bucks. I can't complain really when Im going to make that back fairly easily.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for the heads up. I was probably going to make a giveaway for my extra copy and that would have been embarrassing to find out it was temporarily not tradable. Although, hmm... 2 keys. I could get Don't starve with those.
I've been watching the Takedown forum on Steam to see how the game's going. I'm a bit disappointed that they're working on a (free) DLC instead of putting that time into bug fixes.
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont know if that restriction is universal. I use Steam Wallet Cards to fill my wallet almost exclusively, so I dunno how that works in respect to buying something. Apparently, the not tradable restriction can apply when you haven't bought something on Steam for 30 days. I have, but I use Wallet Cards to do that. I've not seen anyone else complain about this, so it may be a. limited to me b/c of the above, b. Its newly instituted on the Amazon version(wouldnt surprise me) or c. just a weird bug.
I'm able to trade otherwise, so its one of those above.
EDIT: I just talked to someone who said it could be a glitch as that has happened before, so who knows.
EDIT 2: IT WAS A GLITCH! I was able to trade it to a friend and he traded it back no problem. However, it still has the "Not tradable" tag on my end, but it wasnt on his end. Another friend said hes had a glitch like that before, so Im chalking it up as a glitch.

Even if a game is tagged as "not tradeable" you should still be able to send it by mail - you just can't put it in the trading window.
Comment has been collapsed.
that's why I replied to aforce, because he wrote "would have been embarrassing to find out it was temporarily not tradable" - so it seems he does not know that untradeable games can still be sent by mail =)

Amazon pricematched The Secret World (Steam daily deal) so it should be $5.19 after EC coupon for the next ~47 hours or so

Well, sucks this doesn't work for the UK (at least, not in any obvious way), since I just spent about £140 there. Go Amazon, always bringing you the finest in ridiculous regional restrictions.

Sorry, wasn't clear. I know about that, I'm talking about the smile charity stuff.

So... has Tony confirmed there is going to be more games added?
This year is pretty lame compared to last year.
