Hi everyone,

Link

My name is Tony, I'm the Marketing Manager for the Amazon Game Downloads group.

NOTE - The deals I list here and in the title are already listed here, but I figured I needed to come with some sort of deal for you guys to talk about.

Link

First and foremost, just want to let you know that one of the head Mods invited me to come post here from Reddit, but I'm not looking to make waves anywhere, so if you, as a community aren't excited about me interacting and posting here then I'll bow out.

With that being said, I'll give you a little background about myself. I joined the Amazon Game Downloads team in August and have been working in the Video Game industry for about 3 years now.

I'm also a 26 year old avid gamer, I'm sure many of the posters here and I share a lot in common. I play League of Legends like it is my job and I still consider FFIV(II in the US) to be the pinnacle of all that is RPG.

I'm here to bring you killer deals on PC downloads, talk with you about video games, and help you with questions/issues that you might have.

Here's a line by line list of games we'll have on sale starting tonight at 12:30AM PST(or thereabouts):

The Witcher 2 - $14.99 (Deal of the Week is extending through 2/29)

Darkness II - $24.99 - Activates on Steam

Payday: The Heist - $4.99 Activates on Steam

Saint’s Row The Third - $24.99 Activates on Steam

Warhammer 40K Space Marine: $14.99 Activates on Steam

Red Faction Armageddon - $4.99 - Activates on Steam

Mirror’s Edge - $4.99

Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition - $4.99

Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II Retribution Complete Pack - $19.99 Activates on Steam

Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood - $7.49

NBA 2K12 - $9.99 + $5 off MLB 2K12 Pre-Order

Trine - $1.24

Assassin’s Creed 2 - $4.99

Rockstar Classics Bundle - $14.99 (Max Payne 2, Bully, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City, Midnight Club 2)

Here's a link to the full sales page:

We will also have a TON of Space Marine and Retribution DLC on sale as well for 66% off.

Again, sorry for the repeat of deals, I wanted to make sure I didn't just post a "here I am!" post though :).

By the way, question for you, if we put Stronghold III on sale for $15 who would be excited about that deal?

Cheers,
Tony

That is really interesting, Tony. Thank you for your hard work bringing all this good prices to us.

On a side note, I already bought products from Amazon.com when I was in a hotel in the US. If someone wants to buy one of this game, maybe this person could go to a hotel there ;)

if you live on the border, maybe... especially if you are Canadian, as a visa is not required and Buffalo is 20 minutes drive from Niagara Falls (including the time spent waiting at the border if you are on a crowded day)

I would have loved to see The Witcher 2 be Steam redeemable and possibly Simcity 4 (that's a long shot though)

I'd buy them if I had a credit card. I have no way to buy stuff off of Amazon :(

Whether or not a game can be activated on steam depends on the publishers agreements with Valve, and is not determined by Amazon ^_^ I think the Russian version was actually activated on steam at some point (might be remembering wrong though).

Can Velvet Assassin [Download] be activate on steam ?

It should be from this page:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601

However, when I bought it, there is no sign of the product key after purchasing. It is best to hold off.

I would like to say thank you for the great post, I will probably be buying yet another game from Amazon (payday) and I like the fact that you said what is able to be registered on Steam or not. I recently bought C&C4 and didnt realize it was Origin only, not a big deal but I would rather have had a Steam key.

So get a credit card. Even your local Volksbank or Sparkasse can hook you up. Or get an Amzon.de credit card from LBB. You can definitely pay with that on Amazon.com and .co.uk.

"Currently, this item is available only to customers located in the United States and who have a U.S. billing address." So i cannot buy it from other country 0_o?

No... The "requires online Steam account for installation and online play" line on the Amazon page is just there to mislead you. :|

They're just matching Steam.

This is accurate, we price match our major competitors so that customers know they can shop with Amazon and always get best price. This is a pretty major point of distinction between us and our competitors...if it wasn't you'd be able to buy Payday for $4.99 somewhere OTHER than Amazon right now.

Cheers,
Tony

And it is nice to see at least one digital retailer doing this.

See below for an explanation...also, the DLC is matched, the pricing is just taking a while to flip.

Quick question, why would state tax (NY here) be extended to digital orders? I would understand for physical goods, but for digital products I find it unreasonable. Is Amazon powerless on this issue?

I would Buy Both AC and AC: Brotherhood in a heartbeat if they were a steam key... Any reason why they're not a steam key?

AC: Brotherhood is on steam though...(http://store.steampowered.com/app/48190/?snr=1_7_suggest__13) I just don't understand why the key can't be on Amazon. But I understand why Blizzard games aren't on steam...
