This is why I love Qt3. Street Fighter needs to be explained, but EU4 is considered common knowledge.

Brad Grenz:

Amazon is gearing up for their black friday sale in the digital download store

Hey Brad remember earlier this year when Amazon gave us Bioshock Infinite at launch with a free copy of XCOM and a $30 credit towards a digital 2K game? Well, that $30 credit is set to expire in March, so I figure the holiday sales on the digital store will be the best time to use that $30 credit.

2K Games I’m very tempted by, that I don’t have yet:

Borderlands 2 GOTY (currently $60)
XCOM Enemy Within (currently $30)
CiV: Brave New World (currently $30, I think?).

Anyway, I followed your Amazon links earlier in the year, so I’ll be keeping an eye on them again in the next month or two to hopefully see a 2K bundle with all 3 of those things, ideally. :)

Here’s the full schedule through 12/2: http://slickdeals.net/f/6458990-starts-11-21-2013-amazon-pc-digital-download-sale-bioshock-triple-pack-15-x-com-collection-10-sleeping-dogs-5-battlefield-3-5-or-premium-edition-14-many-more

The big news for some will be Batman:Arkham Origins for $20 and Total War:Rome 2 for $40. Others may find the fact that they go on sale on Turkey Day appropriate.

Thanks. I’ll be snagging Rocksmith 2014 on the 29th unless it goes on a thanksgiving Steam sale earlier

Oh thanks good find!
Just got “Mars: War Logs” as my cheap Mass Effect kinda fix for now.

It’s maddening for the rare folks who me who play both genres. I see huge similarities between them, but no one else seems to.

stusser · 2013-11-21T09:41:21.000Z

The Walking Dead 400 days is $1.25, if you don’t already have it.

Great deal, got it.

That’s a screwy method Amazon has for distributing Steam keys: download a 1 meg executable that downloads an HTML file that shows you your key. Seems like they could skip a couple of steps there…

stusser · 2013-11-21T09:56:56.000Z

You can just “go to your digital library” and find the codes there without downloading anything.

Civ V Brave New World - $8.16 on Greenmangaming with 20% off code GMG20-ODON7-FLUA7.

Ah, finally below the magic $10 threshold! Thanks led.

robc04 · 2013-11-21T10:06:00.000Z

Geez, I went through the entire list and there were only a couple things I’m interested in. I must have reached the saturation point.

11/29 Alpha Protocol 3.24
12/2 Saints Row IV $15

Has anyone figured out how to use that credit? I was saving mine for XCOM Enemy Within, but can’t for the life of me figure out how to apply it. When I follow the link to the credit (included in the email after ordering Bioshock 2), I just get to the generic “PC Games for Sale” page on Amazon’s website, and adding XCOM: EW to my cart doesn’t trigger a credit or anything.

Excellent. Playing the bare minimum because I’ve bought all these tables on the 360, great to have them on PC now without having to completely pay for everything again.

That’s exactly my plan. With my 360 being retired, it’s time to switch platforms.
