Is Mass Effect collection worth getting at $30? Or should i just wait.

Take into account i just got my first gaming PC since about 2006 and i am itching for games, i played 1 and 2 on 360 and loved both but i really don't care for 3..

1 & 2 have been sold together on Steam for $10. I believe none of the separate DLC comes with the trilogy so if you don't want to play ME3 you can definitely get 1 & 2 cheaper if you wait.

Wow, when did the Aliens: Coloniel Marines price drop? It's £25.99 now where it was £34.99 last time I checked. I assume vouchers and credit can drive that even lower..

I knew the game had an increasingly low level of hype so maybe retailers have caught wind of that. I'm half tempted at that price. I had a pretty fun time with the multiplayer at last years Eurogamer Expo even if I've got low expectations for the rest of it.

Sims 3 £14.99.


I skipped on this at £7.50 on steam over christmas. I got confused and read some people were having issues with the game/dlc on steam? not sure what that was. Something like steam not getting regular updates or something.

I want to buy this now - but then I hear it can't work with dlc bought on steam, and I wouldn't want to put myself in a situation where I buy the game now and have to get dlc through origin or greenman and say its full price at a a time where the dlc on steam ends up in a sale.


TL:RD, Is it best to buy Sims 3 on steam or origin considering possible future dlc upgrades

This is annoying. "Sorry, an error has occurred while processing your request. An administrator has been notified."

Wanted to get Crysis 3..

edit: eh, seems to have fixed itself.

Is there a discount coupon active currently? Wtb Amalur but would be nice if it was under ~10 rather than just above.

@JamesGMG: If you don't mind me asking will you start selling/providing PSN cash codes on GMG? Also any chance you could start selling download codes for PSN games?

Crysis 3? It's not even on GMG.

Oh, Amalur 50% off is over, glad I caught it before that... Game seems alright, like a Fable 3 that doesn't suck sans sims crap.

Ahh, it's blocked for Australians. Classy as fuck, as always EA.

Is there a reason why some games don't show prices?

EA usually only sells to US and UK through GMG. IF you don't see a price, it's because it's not available in your region.

A VPN will fix that issue for you, though.

GMG didn't give out Steam codes for KOA, right?

I'll really be pissed if I missed a Steam code promotion for KoA....

To make you click buy to see it and then go "oh well, a bit higher than I wanted but whatever, I've clicked so..!".

I'd really want it on Steam, but I don't want it if it's not on Steam...
Origin code. Each game's page tells you what service if will be on, Steam, Origin, GMG Capsule, whatever it is. I probably wouldn't buy it for some random service but since I already use Origin for BF3 whatever, might as well get a couple more games when the price is right. Origin and Steam sell it for like 50 still, lol. Got Syndicate for Origin off GMG also.

Nah, see:

It's stupid. And also it's just for some games. Annoying as hell. Is it really on purpose?

Bummer, wanted to gift it to someone. Ooh well, it will have to wait til the summer sale then.

Just an FYI that this is the cheapest the game's ever been sold for ;3

Actually, JamesGMG, any chance Dear Esther can be updated with a Steam code, if you don't mind me asking?

Don't mind you asking at all mate! For the foreseeable future we'll have the Capsule version, so I wouldn't hold out waiting for it to be Steam from GMG.
 
Is anyone else having problems buying Zombies? I bought it but it doesn't appear on my library. I never got a confirmation mail either.

I try buying it again and it says I already have it :/

I dunno I didn't bother setting up that extra account it wants me to in order to get it, lol. Looks fun though, might do today.

Nope. I bought the game last night and didn't have any problem. I haven't tried downloading it though.

Ninja Blade had a trading value before going free. For now, the game can't be traded in. I wonder if they will offer to trade in the game later.

Fuck, I just got Ninja Blade without any problems. I guess I'm not getting Zombies after all.
Same, Zombies. offer ended while the account setup was stuck at checking handle... Got Ninja Blade.

That's happened with free games before I think. Don't expect much of course.

But it's still neat. With the trade-ins and credit refunds you can make good deals that much sweeter.
