Reply With QuoteDuke Nukem Forever is $5.99 on Amazon. If you have the $5 credit from earlier, the price goes down to 99 cents! This may be the correct price for this game.

Deus Ex: HR comes down to 12 bucks on Amazon if you got a $5 promotional code this December and apply that code today, since they're still selling the game for $16.99 (for Americans). Plus it's a Steamworks game, IIRC. Not bad at all. I was holding off at $16.99, but for 12 bucks I caved.

Ok I will bite for that price.Originally Posted by Telefrog
Anybody know to to keep Amazon from spending my gift certificate money instead of ignoring the $5 promo I have attached to my account? There seems to be no way to specify payment type if I have gift monies sitting there.
Why do you want to save it? It's money that has no value unless you spend it on Amazon. Either you spend it now on Amazon or spend 5 real dollars and spend the fake money later.
Because his gift certificate money lasts forever, but the $5 coupons are only good in January.
Oh I see, that makes sense.
I don't know if you've tried this, but for me, I have to click on change payment type, and then make sure I uncheck spent Amazon gift certificate or whatever its called. Then I make sure to input the $5 promo code.
I'm used to seeing the 'choose payment' type as well, but it's not offering it to me. I need to delve into my settings, because it might think I have that stupid one-click purchase thing turned on for digital products, which I've had to turn off like three times.
Also, the $5 promo I have is limited to specific products (including the one I'm trying to pick up).
I asked Amazon about this months ago, and they said you can't yet prevent digital purchases from using your gift certificate balance. It's a tad annoying, as you're experiencing.
Well, I worked around it. I placed a pre-order with my gift certificate money, effectively reserving it for the pre-order purchase. Then I bought what I wanted and the $5 promo finally applied. Then I went and canceled my fake pre-order, dumping my gift certificate money back in my account.
SO CONVENIENT.
If anyone was looking to buy Guild Wars. Greenmangaming has Guild Wars Trilogy for $14.97 and GW: Eye of the North for $12.95. The only problem is it seems if you're in the U.S., it says its not available in your region sadly. I'm not sure which regions can buy it. They aren't the Steam versions either.
GW Trilogy
GW: Eye of the North
Does having Guild Wars on Steam actually give you anything other than another place to download the client from?
I think about the only benefit is that you get the Steam overlay and it being tied to your Steam account. Other than that, not really as you still have to go through ArenaNet to run the game.
I think one way to bypass not being able to buy the game, if its not available in your region, is to ask a friend who can purchase it to buy it for you. You could just then pay them while they give you the game keys.

I bought the game a couple of days ago and can confirm it activates on Steam. Its a great price for Australians who passed on the inflated Steam sale price.
I think kerzain is either a professional money launder, or a Wall Street banker. Either way a clever crook of some sort.
Greenmangaming has Driver: SF for $12.50.
And lots of other stuff for cheap. But that caught my eye.
Wow. How is downloading from them (since it's not a Steamworks game)? Not too dire? And will that price likely last the rest of the day?

Puzzle Chronicles is today's Steam DD - any fun? I enjoyed Puzzle Quest, but not some of the other knockoffs it inspired.
Post Apocalyptic Mayhem is the Weekend Deal. The cars control, play & explode well. Level design is interesting & easy to follow - but there's only 5 or 6. There's also a decent soundtrack.
That's all it has - I wouldn't recommend it unless you'd be fine with something that only lasts you a couple hours. No campaign, story, or scenarios of any kind... just start a match, destroy cars, and repeat until bored. Winning the races is pointless - instead it rewards you points for suiciding and destroying more cars when you respawn in last place. No one's been playing multiplayer whenever I tried.
No. Neither the puzzle mechanic nor the connective tissue surrounding it is as good as PQ.
I used their downloader (Capsule) for Arkham City and it worked fine, apart from the annoyance of having to install another piece of software just to install a game. From the GMG blog it looks like the sale should last for a day starting at 12:00PM (noon) GMT, Dec. 3rd. Note that Driver:SF does not seem to be available through GMG in North America.
Aargh, region-locking strikes again. I wonder--does GMG support gifting?
I agree with Boojum. Puzzle Chronicles is not as good as either Puzzle Quest or Puzzle Quest 2. Try "Might and Magic Clash of Heroes" if you are after a good PQ inspired game.

Warhammer 40000: Space Marine is $12.49 today at Greenman Gaming. This registers on Steam and beats the special price offer during the holiday Steam sale.
Awesome.
I guess I'm signing up for a new service!
One of the GamersGate deals today is Two Worlds 2 GOTY Edition for $25. The base game has been cheaper on Steam, but given the exhorbitant price charged just about everywhere for the Pirates of the Flying Fortress DLC this bundle actually makes it a decent deal.
Holy crap, unless that DLC is at least 12-15 hours it is ridiculously overpriced!
Just my luck that yesterday's GMG deal was Driver: SF (which I actually was interested in, but was unavailable in my region), and today's is Space Marine (which I'm not interested in at all, but completely available to me).
Awesome deal on Space Marine. Bought!
Crap, there goes my New Year's resolution.....Ok new new games until the winter 2012 Steam sale starting....now!
