Alright, so, I checked my Steam inventory on a whim after Vash getting LA Noir for free (you lucky bastard), and I guess I still have these two games just sitting in my inventory.

They're Light Fish and Alien Breed 3: Descent. I don't really know what they are, nor do I really care, but I'm willing to give them away. First come, first serve. According to the description I got them from the Christmas shit.

Also, Middy, if no one else wants it, I guess I could take that free copy of Torchlight off your hands.

You can have a lot of fun with this game by giving it to other people. If you know someone who gets easily addicted to Solitaire, Hearts, or other casual games, then give them this and watch their free time go swirling down the toilet as they get hooked.

I can't even talk to my mum without her keeping the iPad close at hand to play Bejeweled now. Watching TV, watching a movie, on the phone, having a conversation - it doesn't matter what she's doing, she's always Bejewelin'. Mum hates me now, but she can't stop needing that PopCap crack. My old man hates it.

Bejeweled can provide you with endless entertainment for $3.99 too, if you know the right person to drop it on.

 

Amazon is currently selling Dragons Age Origins: Ultimate Edition + Dragons Age II for $10 (80% off.) Looks like they are digital downloads, but not through Steam.

 

Worth the buy, in my opinion, if only for DA:O. DA:II is... average, at best. Mediocre, really, and there's a reason for that, but it's still an abysmal following to one of the better RPGs I've played in the last few years.

 

Or you could simply buy Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition for $7.49.

It appears that the version being sold on Amazon registers on Origin - if you don't like the sound of that, I'd recommend holding off.

 

Can someone explain to me why Amazon only does sales on games to the USA alone? What, are we internationals not worthy?

 

Probably due to distribution agreements with the publishers. You can get around it by using a fake US address. I live in Beverly Hills 90210.

 

I tried that when I got Crusader Kings 2, and it worked (and Amazon were pretty cool when they figured out the fake billing address thing), but I don't dare try it with EA games. It probably wouldn't work and then they'd probably go "lol no."

Also, it's still irritating as hell and probably one of the reasons why Steam's the number one digital market for games.

 

How do you know that Amazon figured it out? I haven't heard a peep from them myself. I made sure to use a "real" fake address, but that was the only precaution I took.

Using a fake US address is the standard advice amongst Aussie bargain seekers on the sites I frequent.

Send an American the money via Paypal and then have them buy it and give you the code. It's a bit of a work around, but safe.

 

I had problems accessing my copy of CK2 and went to their help desk. One of their IT guys emailed me saying they figured out my address was fake, and offered me a refund.

 

Nuts. Were you getting the "Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request"? Because I'm getting that error right now.

 

Nah, I couldn't even access it off of Amazon. Ended up doing the Steam switch after googling it.

 

Must be some kind of bizarre coincidence on my end then. It's still on my Amazon account along with the rest of my games.

What's the Steam Switch? I'm not having much luck googling it.

 

Go to Steam, look at the bottom of the application for Add A Game, then click for either Add a Non Steam Game or Activate On Steam.

 

Shit just got real.

 

There's another big digital game sale on Amazon at the moment [didn't we just have one of these?].
