Bargain Thread 2012 Edition

Squee:

Yup. Normally when they wanted to get around the 15% discount they would change it to 15% more blue coins (10 blue coins to a penny!) but now I guess they’re just disabling it for the sale entirely.

Unless they killed it outright.

The thread on their site suggests that it is dead permanently. Which, frankly, the only thing that surprises me is that it took this long. And I can’t complain, really. I was using it outside of the spirit of the deal (I never subscribed to Prime outside of the trial and I think IGN is both horribly designed and has terrible content) and I’ve saved at least $60-70 with it over the time it was active.

Last year they put them on sale. I remember getting dragon age 1 complete plus dragon age 2 for $7.50 after coupon.

Yes but there is actually a physical edition of dragon age 1 that includes all of the dlc, the ultimate edition, and this is what you bought, right? There is no such thing for DA2 to my knowledge.

Amazon had DA1 (ultimate edition)/2 and me1/2 for in a pack, but i want the DLC for DA 2 which was to my knowledge not included. Also the DLC for me3 which of course has no pack.

Holy crow that PS3 deal (200 dollar bundle) was a steal. I am now a proud member of the SDF.

Sammich · 2012-11-23T18:34:24.000Z

Can the $5 Amazon credits be stacked, or can you only use one at a time? I’m likely going to have three or four of them.

lordkosc · 2012-11-23T18:38:28.000Z

One $5 credit per game.

The recently released King’s Bounty - Warriors of the North is a Steam Sale Flash Deal for $14.99 (50% off) for about the next 7 hours. Late night bargain hunters rejoice.

Agreed, I bought a second PS3 and a second Xbox to have down in my new theater just because of how cheap they were today, when I had originally planned to just put a dedicated bluray player in there… I’ll probably sell off the bundled games to make em even a better value. On the flip side I turned in my Skyrim code despite having it on PC already just to try on Xbox and would like to get another code to get my nephews into it. Hopefully the sell off will balance out for whatever it costs me to ebay buy another code…

Been playing it since yesterday and now I’m sad 38 Studios went belly-up, really having a good time with the game, looks great and is very easy to get into.
I also have both DLC’s but haven’t got to that content yet.

Definitely worth $ 8.00 that’s for sure.

Ditto. I’m only in the first town but really like it a lot. I guess it just got overwhelmed by Skyrim when it came out…

BrianRubin · 2012-11-23T20:29:01.000Z

Yeah, KoA is one of the few games in the past few years that I actually finished. Tons of fun.

Giaddon · 2012-11-23T20:31:37.000Z

Alright, first purchase of the various Autumn sales: Deadlight for $7.50. I’ve heard comparisons to Flashback, which I liked a lot. Cool art style, too.

krayzkrok · 2012-11-23T21:49:34.000Z

Still no Dark Souls deal for Australians that’s worth jumping on. Amazon is really annoying in that it leads you all the way through the purchasing process including typing in your cc details before pulling it away at the last minute with “ah ah, fooled you” purchase denied. Bah!

That’s closing in on my ‘just do it price’ point but still: massive backlog. Waiting for Winter Sale I think for me!

If you wanna just Paypal me $15 USD I could pick it up for you and send you the code.

Happy to do that Squee if it’ll work. Send me a pm with your Paypal details and I’ll get right on it. Thanks for the offer. :)

Picked up dishonored from gmg for 22.50 and noticed that Trine was only 1.24…

That will work. Dark Souls is steamworks.
