Good deal thread

[Huyi]

Hopefully we can keep a constant thread up and running for when game sales come along or you have found a good deal just to let fellow GP members know. Feel free to add console specials too.

A few sites are:

• PC Sales - It lists the sales on Steam, Gamersgate, Direct2drive and Impulse.
• Pricespy New Zealand site that has a large database of retailers (can filter by price etc.)

My input:

Men of War: Red Tide - 76% off Link $6.00 USD

Men of War is a really interesting RTS. It has major micromanagement and is very strategy based. There are plenty of mods for it and Red Tide is the newest out (released earlier this year I believe)

Just Cause 2 - 76% off Link (Courtesy of Radnom) £6.49

Zest looks sort of dodgy.

[maha]

zest is all good, and cheap

[Murakami]

If I bought BFBC2 would it work on Steam?

[maha]

i don't think you can register the key on steam, not sure. i bought my bfbc2 from zest and it works just fine as a standalone.

No, but you can register your key with the EA Download Manager and get digital delivery backups if you really wanted to.

You can still run most DX/OGL games through Steam and have access to the Steam overlay, your friends list, IM'ing, VoIP, etc. Steam's Games menu -> Add a Non-Steam Game to My Library.

Fable 2 GOTY Edition Firstgames $35

[Insai]

so what are the odds of mightyape doing a pricematch for BC2

[sloane]

What are the odds of mightyape/gp putting the kybosh on this thread?

[Insai]

^ don't see why GP should since "GP and Mightyape are completely unrelated and separate companies"

btw got a reply for the price match, $50 is MA's best price...

[Rungus]

I thought they only done price matches on games from new zealand sites?

[Peagles]

^ don't see why GP should since "GP and Mightyape are completely unrelated and separate companies"

On the other hand they "have a relationship" and often HOS threads about the competition...

[Insai]

^ they would HOS threads that are blatant advertising, but this is just a good deals thread. there shouldn't be any issues

[Apathetic tool]

Can you guys state which platform the games are for when you link them please

[Bt]

You can assume they're all for PC

Beware that they have a reputation for poor service and late deliveries, which can delay shipments for several weeks for new games.

Yeah just found out they ship out of the UK and take 1-2 weeks to get here - haven't checked JB's price yet, which is can be up to $10 cheaper than MA
