Oh well, thanks anyway. It’s a shame but it looks like I’ll never play this game.

Do you only play PC games that have no DRM?

I’ll keep this short in the interests of keeping the Bargain Thread on the right track.

I don’t mind DRM that doesn’t punish me for buying the product. A three license limitation crosses that line, especially when the digital service the game is on is already a mild form of DRM, and the company owns another form of DRM (GOO) that doesn’t punish me.

No problem. No offense taken. I just didn’t want to derail Bargain.

Also, Victoria Complete is 50% off and Trine is 25% off.

malkav11 · 2009-09-03T15:39:38.000Z

It’s not the limited install kind of SecuROM, though.

Heads up-- Prince of Persia for PC is going for $2.90+shipping at GoGamer as part of their Massive Labor Day Madness.

A number of other good deals there too, I got Jade Empire for $2 and Just Cause and Call of Juarez for $1 each. Of course, the shipping was twice as much as the actual games, but it’s still an amazing sale

MSUSteve · 2009-09-04T05:47:33.000Z

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is Far Cry 2 (360) for $14.98. No excuses not to own it!

GoGamer’s 48 Hour Madness includes Wolfenstein (360) for $44.90 and $29.90 on PC.

One of best first-person shooters of all time on sale? I suppose I should jump on it. But I think I’m going to wait until it’s cheaper.

MSUSteve · 2009-09-04T05:54:35.000Z

Ha ha! I have Wolfenstein on the way from Gamefly, so I’m not buying it now. If I really enjoy it I’ll probably just exercise the Keep It option, unless I see it on sale for less than whatever that price is.

Thanks for that pointer to Sacred 2, it looks so much better on my PC than on my TV.

I can add Prince of Persia, Call of Juarez, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Maelstrom and Battle for Midway (all PC games) to my cart and the total comes to $15.80 with shipping. That’s redonkulous. Hell, I could probably unload the unopened RSV2 for nearly that on Ebay and walk away with 4 practically free games. Must resist! My backlog cannot take the added load!

I also just got a $30 Amazon giftcard and now someone posts that Sacred II Collector’s Edition is $20 on Amazon. Damn this thread!!!

Telefrog · 2009-09-04T07:34:03.000Z

Yeah, it’s rough. I just picked up Prince of Persia and Maelstrom for $6 with shipping. I don’t even know what Maelstrom is about! I just saw that it was a freaking penny and figured, why not?

I’m not sure how seriously I can take a review when the writer couldn’t even be bothered to figure out who the developer was.

Damn! There are some wonderful deals on GoGamer, but they don’t ship outside US =/.

And ironically, they often send European versions of games. Weird!
