Canuck:

Wow, way to bury the lede.

Actually never mind, typical of any Matrix sale, there are no “real” deals.
Ooh I can pay $19.99 for Unity of Command-oh wait, that’s what I would pay for it on Steam at regular price.
If they would bundle Battle Academy together and sell it for a reasonable price then I would jump on it.

Just for 360/PS3… not PC.

/sad panda/

Max Payne 3 with Season Pass for Steam is supposed to be $19.99 on Amazon’s Black Friday game sale.

I triple dog dare GMG to beat the Amazon $19.99 price for MaxPayne 3 + Season Pass.

Amazon Video Games Deals Calendar

Highlights:
Lumines for Vita $15 (Wed am)
Dishonored for $25 (Thu)
Lego Batman 2 $15 (Thu)
Syndicate PC $6 (Fri am)
Max Payne 3 $15 (Fri pm)

If you own a Vita, and don’t own Lumines for it you have no excuse (save poverty, repetitive stress injuries, or starving children) for not jumping on this. (Am I being too much of a shill?)

Will boxed Dishonored register on Steam? The official list of retail CD keys says “no,” but it’s Steamworks, right?

Mine did, and it says Steam account is required on the box.

Sleeping Dogs blew up in GMG – getting a 404 page for it either purchase or just view.

I also got this error earlier and it appears to still be FUBAR if you click the ad. However, clicking the link for Sleeping Dogs under “Top Sellers” (just below the ad for the 20% off code) still works.

Murbella · 2012-11-20T18:37:04.000Z

mm sleeping dogs for 13.60 and i still have my $10 credit from preordering xcom (for some insanely low price). Think im going to have to bite on this one.

Hopefully i don’t regret it. I’m more of a saint’s row fan than a GTA fan.

Does Amazon think they’re making friends with these jerkhole lightning deals?

I just bought syndicate physical edition for $5, so yes.

The thing that helped me was getting an app for my phone that checked the deals and notified me. Then when i see one i want, i just buy it from my phone. If your job doesn’t overly frown on checking your phone from time to time, it lets you access those great deals they put in the middle of the day for some reason.

Sins:Rebellion is $20 over at Gamersgate, registers on steam. I’ve been waiting for this to drop a bit. Anyone think this will go lower during the Steam sale?

I was thinking about that one myself and I definitely feel it is possible for Steam to beat it at 66-75% off. But what do I know? Not much.

Tropico 4 for $2.55 @ gamersgate. warning! could be a mispricing and it may change by the time you click on the link.

Brad_Grenz · 2012-11-21T00:40:15.000Z

The Walking Dead is $12.49 again at Amazon. That is a season pass and all 5 episodes are out now. Activates on Steam.

It is a mispriced and they’ve corrected the glitch. . I managed to snagged it at the lower price within half-hour of the deal going up.

$7.48 here in Canadia.

$6-23 here in the UK (approx $10 US), so it was either a misprint or the Americans are getting a much better deal

Seriously. If your opinion can’t be distilled down to a number at the end then I don’t even want it.

I’m tempted, but still think it’s going to break the $10 mark at some point this season. Plus all of my impulse gaming money is in Paypal, which Amazon doesn’t like for some reason.

Newegg has started their 72hr Pre-Black Friday Sale.
