Legume:

I bought BI and used the coupon and got the 20% off. But I could not figure out how to get the free copy of Mafia II.

You’re supposed to get a code in the order confirmation. They may be out of Mafia II codes. I’m seeing this on other sites as well.

GTA V on 360 or ps3 for $60 (plus tax, but free shipping) along with a $25 gift card to be delivered later (with a 90 day expiration) from Dell. It looks like any level of shipping is free, so I went with next day. Made me cave.

Brad Grenz:

But then on Tuesday they’ll have a different bundle for $13.99:

[ul]
[li]Tomb Raider
[/li][li]Hitman: Absolution Professional Edition
[/li][li]Sleeping Dogs
[/li][/ul]

That also includes Steam codes and will be for just 2 days.

The above deal is now live. Only good for the 17th and the 18th.

Bioshock Infinite £7.99 in UK, or something like 9.2 euros in rest of Europe.

You just need to slightly tweak the coupon: GFDSEP20UK

Anyone wants to sell me Tomb Raider for 7 USD? I already have Hitman and Sleeping Dogs.

Indie RPG bundle. Yay! Wish I had the time to enjoy lengthy games like these.

First time Frayed Knights and several of the others have been bundled afaik. Some of them aren’t that great, but hopefully there’ll be a few gems.

Edit: Just saw this interesting teaser thread over at GOG. Don’t click unless you want to be spoiled about a future bundle and kicking yourself for buying Divinity 2 last week.

I suddenly got a hankering for a racing game, despite not having played any since Need for Speed: Whatever Was Released w/ The 360 Launch.

It seems Need for Speed Most Wanted for $6.40 on GMG after the code: GMG20-8MUTY-M21VN is probably a pretty good deal?

Giaddon · 2013-09-17T23:31:16.000Z

The price is fine, the Criterion racing games kind of suck, though. :(

Pistols at dawn sir!

MrPerson · 2013-09-17T23:56:55.000Z

Shouldn’t you wait for a sale on those pistols?

They were in his backlog from the holiday sale.

Warning · 2013-09-18T08:11:58.000Z

I went to buy pistols and was embarrassed to find I’d already bought them during a Steam sale.

There’s an argument against the Steam Family/Friends Sharing. “Uh, those pistols were used to rob a 7-11? Ummm…”

Pinball FX 2 tables are 66% off on Steam today.

A new indiegala just started too. Magicka & the King Arthur series with most of their DLC. The old one ends in 3 hours.

Squee · 2013-09-18T10:51:31.000Z

Damn, except Ms Splosion Man and Earth Defense. I guess I’ll grab those in a later sale.

mouselock · 2013-09-18T13:29:18.000Z

GameFly quietly jacked the price of Bioshock up from 66% off to only 50% off. Guess I’m not going to get it to muck around with this weekend after all.

MrPerson · 2013-09-18T13:36:20.000Z

The Humble Indie Bundle just updated their locked games:
Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken
A Virus Named TOM
Bastion
LIMBO

A Virus Named Tom looked pretty cool, but I think it may be getting crazier faster than I like. I’d like harder puzzles with less “action.”

Those are discounted now too. :)

For someone who doesn’t own any of the tables but is thinking of picking up a pack to have a dabble and potentially play with his son (about to turn five) are any of the packs a better bet than the others?

Was thinking the Marvel one for the super hero factor, but if there’s a pack that provides a better pinball experience (variety, design, whatever) for someone just starting out I’d probably lean towards that.

JustinFletcher · 2013-09-18T20:28:19.000Z

Check out the last few pages of the Pinball FX2 thread where we discuss that very question (and also get people’s Steam names for the leaderboards!).
