Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

Lemlin · 2006-02-06 11:11:59

Was wondering if we could get a sticky going about games bargains that we've spotted? I'm going to pm Monument about it. It could be useful, especially for offers like the Xtravision one and the Xbox 360 trade-in offer that Game have at the minute. People could also give examples of gaming bargains they've seen. For…

Batman is running as low as €15 on Kinguin. I've used them twice before, but is this price TOOOO good to be true. Surely there's a catch?? Currently sitting at the checkout stage contemplating whether or not to buy it.

Bought it with the Deathstroke DLC for £12 (under €15). When I activated the key it said that I had activated 'Steam Sub 29695'. Found it odd but that screen telling you the name of the product you just registered has been buggy before. Installing now since it appeared in my account straight away.

I got the same Steam Sub thing but as soon as I went to my Library it was there as Batman and was downloading happily. Should be finished by the time I'm home this evening.

The game reviewed a lot worse than expected so there may be a lot of outlets who overbought and are looking to dump their keys quickly. There's certainly plenty of places selling it cheap at the moment.

You might get more help with this in the Xbox forum:

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=522

A lot of stuff mentioned here, tends to primarily be in reference to PC gaming.

I have been told, if you call up xbox customer service you can haggle them down to less than half the price directly with microsoft themselves.

Just an FYI, this Humble Bundle wants you to link your steam account and when you click "reveal keys" or whatever it used to be, it's instantly redeemed on said account. No need to go through the muck of clicking endlessly on each one, but also, no gift copies either!

Before, that would have annoyed me. Getting all the keys was nice as you could give them to others. But lately, I've seen people trying to sell the keys for serious profit. It's a clever idea by them to put a stop to the stingy *****

It'll be annoying for me and my brother though. The Family Sharing thing doesn't sound like it'll be of use, we have free time at the same time.

You get a DRM Free version too you know?... If you want to play on two different accounts so bad, why not just pay the <€10 most of the time to get the keys twice?

Possibly reverting back to the original steam keys again..?

There was a top down driving/shooter in the 90's made by Remedy called Death Rally.

They did a new version of it there recently. It's currently about €2.50 on steam. Quite good so far, for the nostalgia factor if nothing else.

Depends on who was the one looking for the new process. If it was humble bundle or Steam and maybe some other third parties.

Which is a shame, I've double dipped a few games through humble bundle with the intention to add'em to a second steam account I have, but never got a chance to.

I'm in two minds with it really. On the one hand, it's really convenient and it promotes that more people buy bundles and thus donate to charity.
On the other, it's like the times in the past when I've thought "I want that bundle... but I have a lot of games out of it already... I know, I'll give my spare keys to my partner and we'll break even!" and now I might just be as I initially was with "I already have most games... won't bother buying".
