Faster Than Light direct from the source for $5.99. Can get a Steam code as well.
If you’re going to be ordering a full price preorder, GMG is almost always the way to go I think. Their 25-30% off everything coupons are pretty awesome. Considering preordering COH2 from there.
You can often stack deals too, ie 50% off deal plus 30% off coupon. Does anyone know if the current 30% off coupon only works once, or doesn’t stack with other deals, or any of that? I don’t want to use it on a $5 game and then find out I can’t use it on COH2 later.
It works as often as you want until Dec 7th (might be one item per transaction though). Keep in mind that GMG is on UT time when skating close to the deadline.
It will stack with most regular discounts (i.e. “on sale”) but you can’t stack more than one voucher. Some titles won’t accept any discounts (due to publisher) but they should say so in the item description.
Hotline Miami (4.99) and FTL (5.99) are both on sale on Steam this weekend. I was planning on holding out for the Christmas sale for these two, but will Hotline Miami really get less than 4.99? I think FTL might go lower. Just wanted to see what opinions are.
The Secret World, IMO one of the most unique MMOs ever made with a heavy emphasis on storyline, acting, and investigation missions with puzzles, is on sale at Green Man Gaming. It could potentially be $3.24 if you do it soon:
$7.49 sale price
Additional 30% off with coupon code GMG30-DEC01-ARFC9
$2 future credit if you use my referral link
Includes the digital game and 30 days of play. No need to use their “Capsule” client; you’ll get a key which you can register directly on www.thesecretworld.com
Hmm, I’d like to try a month of that sometime. Can you delay when you activate it so I can try it in a few weeks after I’m not playing planetside 2 26 hours a day?
I assume your month starts once the key is registered. So you could hold on to the key until then.
Of course, you might hold on too long and the game will go F2P or something 
That’s awesome. Is it still $15 a month? I just couldn’t justify a subscription game - I felt guilty every time I missed a day of playing.
Secret World listed at $30 there - sale ended in the last 10 hours I guess?
Yeah, sadly 
Didn’t realize how short it was. But it’s been going on sale quite often recently, and I think it’ll very likely go F2P in the future (it’s not doing so well financially).
I have to rant here, because I saw an sdmb person (who I won’t name) doing this very thing, and it drives me nuts.
They’ll post a forum thread or whatever, saying “I’m giving away [the games that are in the humble bundle] just enter your name and I’ll pick one randomly and you win!” with no mention of the humble bundle.
Then people, who aren’t aware of the humble bundle, start saying “oh hey this is awesome, you’re very generous!”
This is tremendously douchey to me for 3 reasons. First, let’s say 20 people enter your raffle because they’re unaware of the humble bundle, and one wins. Those other 19 say “ah damn, I lost” and that’s that. They never find out that they too themselves could get all these games at their own price.
Second, it’s essentially stealing credit for the generosity of the humble bundle/devs. People assume when you give away a lot of games, you’re not paying $1 (and would’ve been 1 cent before the $1 minimum) for 5-10 of them, so your act is spontaneous and generous. Where in reality, it’s the generosity (yes, they’re in it to make money, but yes they’re also giving away millions of copies of their product for a buck to cheap people) of the humble bundle and the devs.
Third, you’re costing the humble bundle money. I guess this is kind of an extension of the first reason. You almost certainly paid the minimum price for those keys you’re raffling, which is nothing. By failing to inform the people who are clearly interested in having these games available cheaply, and for giving one person all the games at the lowest donation, you potentially kill other sales that would’ve been made if you presented the situation more honestly.
I know this rant is kind of weird for this thread, but please people ffs, just tell people about the humble bundle, don’t try to latch on and steal credit.
I jumped the gun about the sdmb member, he had posted about the bundle in the past, and it was a post on a deals group that would’ve been aware of it.
I have seen lots of the sort of behavior I’ve seen on the steam forums. I tend to get sensitive about the humble bundle stuff because I’ve seen dozens of posts on various forums that basically amount to “hahaha dude I just got 6 games for a penny, I ripped off small developers and charity, HAHAHA HIGH FIVE BRO”
Bundles make people weird. I couldn’t count the times I saw someone post “I only gave a dollar and it was to charity… ha ha, THQ!!” about the current offer. Did THQ step on their puppy or something?
Hitman: Absolution is on sale for $30 today only at Amazon.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is $19.99 from Gamefly with voucher code 1GFT1112.
Today and tomorrow only, I believe.
The Secret World just went “pay once and play forever” removing their subscription fee. Oops on missing out on it at $5 then. Oh well. I’ve never seen an MMO do that rather than go F2P… are they going to have a cash shop in game for ongoing revenue?
Crysis franchise is 75% off on steam this week including $10 for Crysis 2 Maximum Edition.
Red Orchestra 2 has a free weekend on steam this weekend, and on sale for $5.
Subscribers get points every month to spend in the in-game store (which only sells aesthetic things)
They gets some other stuff as well like a widget that gives +100% experience for an hour once a day or something. I don’t plan on resubscribing so I didn’t study it too hard.
Bard’s Tale is free on the Iphone and Ipod Touch and includes the 3 original Bard’s Tale games as well.
Amazon is selling a $14 Alice: Madness Returns complete pack that includes various weapon/dress DLC items for Madness Returns and a copy of the original American McGee’s Alice. As far as I know, this is the only legitimate way to get the original game right now for PC, short of finding some ancient boxed copy.
