Huh, sorry. I waited to post until mine went through verification and didn’t have to provide any extra info. Figured with their background it’d be less questionable.

Oh, I just think it’s funny. No harm :)
Apparently they’ve been doing this somewhat randomly for a few months. But yeah, nothing sketchy about that email at all!
Besides: paypal :)

At least they didn’t ask for a nude selfie.
Ah ok so Hitman did finally go through @ Gamestop. Had to get episode 1 + season pass to get the better price. :)

Amazon has the HTC Vive on sale for $699 (normally $799):
I know, right! Lame.
But still probably better than Ubisoft, who have a ‘30 days of giveaways’ underways.
Day 2’s ‘giveaway’ was generous access to some tepid Black Friday deals on the Ubi Store. :P
Btw, Microsoft store has it for that price, plus they throw in a $100 gift card too.
Oh wow. I didn’t think something that expensive would go out of stock.
Interesting. I had the exact same email response a couple weeks ago when I bought a 3-month Xbox Gold key from a different site, GamesDeal.com. I used Paypal in that case as well. I replied that there was no way in hell I was sending them anything that could be used in identity theft, and that since I was replying from the same email that the Paypal account was tied to they could either accept my incredulous response as proof I was the owner of the account or they could refund my money. I received the key and an apology about 5 minutes later.
I don’t know if the sites are tied to one another, if they’re trying to scam customers into giving them personal identification information, or if they’re just stupid (maybe all three).
Half-off seems to be my trigger point this year. Doom, Dishonored 2, Homefront: Revolution, and now The Division.

There are some ridiculously good deals today on console games in store and online. Get them now because I doubt they’ll be this good again between now and Christmas.
For example, Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition for $20 is worth it even if you bought the original but never got the season pass as it includes all that for $10 less than the cost of the pass itself.

Wow,
CDKeys have a queue for Black Friday...
[/quote]
I think it’s just a scummy tactic, make hard to enter, so when someone finally gets in, he thinks he should not waste the opportunity and BUY BUY BUY
Maybe… but it’s probably more likely cheap/low server capacity where they’d struggle to handle the influx for this one day of the year?

Still looking for an Xbox Live deal for $35 or less.

If I hadn’t seen this post, I wouldn’t have even known about the queue. I run Scriptsafe on my browser, which disables scripting by default. I can navigate to CDKeys’ site just fine with no queue, even with scripting allowed for the site.
Sure enough, when I disable Scriptsafe completely, the queue page pops up when I go to CDKeys.
Something fishy about this, or maybe they just went cheap when setting up the queue. In any case, it can be circumvented.
Ahh cheers, I can use uBlock advanced mode to do the same.

I actually hit the max discount allowed on PSN flash sale.
I got:
Titanfall2/Bf1 bundle
Mordor complete
Deus Ex Deluxe
Far Cry Primal,
and applied the 10% discount on top of that plus the $15 Sony sent me last month, so all of that for $117 out the door. Pretty glad I waited for the flash sale, can’t wait to see the differences for myself with 4/5 on PS4 Pro.
