Nice! I’ve been waiting for this one.

I, too, think it’s time I finally dipped my toes into the Kingdom of Amalur.

BrianRubin · 2012-11-02T14:45:02.000Z

Even though I own (and finished the main quest of, surprisingly) KoA, I’m tempted to rebuy it on the PC…

Two_Sheds · 2012-11-02T14:45:06.000Z

Decent enough game, then? I mean, for twelve bucks I guess I’ll take a leap.

BrianRubin · 2012-11-02T14:49:27.000Z

Two Sheds, I RARELY finish games. The last game I think I finished before KoA was the original Knights of the Old Republic.

Something about its visceral combat and the abundance of quests and loot really kept me hooked. Plus it’s pretty.

Two_Sheds · 2012-11-02T14:49:55.000Z

Good enough for me! I’ll take it.

Crap. I missed out on the Amalur deal today.

Yeah, I slept right through that one. Pretty annoyed. Was expecting a week long sale, or at least a full day.

Sunday is a triple Sony station cash day. If you buy a $15 station cash card it gets you $45 worth of points. If you buy a $15 card at Walmart it should say on the front of it that it comes with a bonus 500 station cash so when tripled you get the equivalent of $60 in points. I hate point cards too, but they seem to be a necessary evil these days and if you can exploit the sales when they come along you might as well do so…

So wait, I have to buy a PSN $15 points card from Walmart and then put into my PS3 on Sunday and Sunday only and I’ll get $60 in my wallet on the PS3? Did I miss any of the steps or misunderstand any of them?

Brad_Grenz · 2012-11-03T07:52:48.000Z

Sony Station points are for SOE MMOs, I believe. There’s no such offer for the PSN wallet that I’m aware of.

Rock8man · 2012-11-03T07:54:27.000Z

Ah damn. Too good to be true.

Andon · 2012-11-03T08:11:17.000Z

Had a $5 Cash Credit from Amazon so got KoA for $6.99. Great deal so far. Enjoying even the tutorial combat.

If it’s any consolation, Tony (the Amazon rep) said that their plan for these flash deals is to be a sort of test bed to gauge demand and they hope to bring them back for future, longer deals. The Darkness 2 was last week’s digital flash deal, and showed up in the Halloween sale for the same price.

Andon · 2012-11-03T10:56:36.000Z

In case anyone is interested I found the 3rd person view for KoA a little to zoomed in for my taste.
Found this app Widescreen Fixer that allows to move the field of view back a little bit.

Hope someone else gets some use from it.

Right, but to be clear you cab also buy these points direct online, not just at retail, and they will triple as well. You only get the 500 bonus if you buy at Walmart tho.
