PC Digital Download Games & Game Packs: MS 5-Game Arcade Pack $10, Age of Empires III Complete $10, Mark of the Ninja $3.75, Deadlight $3.75 & More (Fable Bundle live by 1/31)

Quote from adas : Why none of these are live yet -- is this real?

They said they didn't know when it'd start, but it'd probably be sometime this month. Annnd that there's a 20% chance it won't happen at all. I'm still getting antsy though, this would be a sick deal if it goes through.

The arcade bundle looks great. Hopefully this pans out.

Quote from jbonez21 : Steam had AOE3 for $9.99 throughout the Holiday sale. It may return to that price point for valentine day sale.

Yeah, I was on vacation and missed it.

Quote from tannersarms : If you'd have been around here a bit longer, you'd have been able to get in on the AoE3 Complete for 10c deal!

I remember that deal, but I can't remember why I didn't get it. I think my brother got it, and I had some issues and missed or something.

23 thumbs up on a deal that may or may not transpire, wow. Does anyone even know what thumbs up are even for anymore?

No we don't go away troll

Quote from DennisPrime : No we don't go away troll

And why am I a troll, because I mentioned that this deal might not even happen or because I didn't feel the need to give the thumbs up? So why don't you enlighten me how were you were actually able to replicate the deal, I'm waiting...

Edited: Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

Not to derail this thread... but...

I give thumbs up when I appreciate someone pulling together good information to inform us slickdealers. If it's good info, I feel like people should have it hit their deal notifications... to notify them.

Think about it this way, what if you were thinking about buying some of these titles from other vendors for (potentially) higher prices... wouldn't you want to know about this deal being in the works, at least to keep an eye on it? I think TU for information is a good policy, but you are of course free to use your TUs for whatever you want.

As for rep (separate thing), I give rep when someone has posted something that I bought or a great deal that I would not have noticed were it not for their post. If another user has been extremely helpful with a comment, I may give rep to them as well, if it is "above and beyond" the value of a comment that I would normally expect.

OK that's the last I'll post off-topic, rest of my posts on-topic. Hoping these deals still happen!

My favorite part of any good thread is when an argument breaks out. To all involved: Thank you for your continuing efforts to entertain me.

I'm not sure this deal will happen. That Amazon rep was told "sounds good" by someone at Microsoft when a deal was pitched to him. He was probably just trying to get rid of the Amazon rep.

Quote from animedaf : "Rep" doesn't necessarily mean you were able to replicate the deal. I, for one, am really grateful for this heads-up because I've been waiting for pretty much all of the games in the Arcade Bundle to go on sale and it's an amazing deal but I rarely check out the amazon pc game downloads page. I think the "thumbs up" are warranted. Thanks, OP!

Obviously you don't understand the meaning of thumbs up either. I never mentioned anything about "rep" being able to replicate the deal. If you appreciate the OP posting this "deal", then go ahead a rep the guy (I don't have a single problem with that). It's when a whole bunch of people go around thumbing up deals when they're not even legitimate deals (under one of the conditions for thumbs up is the ability to replicate deals at the prices represented by the poster). It's especially gotten out of control lately on SD (I suspect that it's mostly newbs) thumbing up deals that don't really deserve it. I see it way too often on extreme YMMV B&M deals where only 3 people across the country are able to cash in on it. Scores of SDers come to the thread seeing dozens of thumbs up believing that it's a trustworthy posting so they rush out to the store only to waste their time and gas. I know that this is not the same scenario, but it still wastes people's time. People post deals in advance all the time, but they usually have the date and time of when it's going to be active and most importantly, the deal comes from an email newsletter or an inside source. This one sounds more like hearsay to me which is why I was asking where the OP heard about this. Don't get me wrong, I want this deal just as much as everyone else here (I have a handful of those $5 credits and want these titles), but the OP should've either posted this in deal talk or better yet just waited until the deal was active to post. If you're worried about "missing" this deal if it ever goes live, I seriously doubt that anyone will since these games at these prices will easily go front page.

Source this please.

Quote from lazyfulness : Source this please.

It's all right there when you click on thumbs up or down. Couldn't be any clearer than that.

nvm, irrelevant in first place since deal is not live(nobody got the deal yet, meaning no "replication")

also, "could not replicate deal" is probably for when op claims the deal is up, but it is not working.

you are probably talking about the "i bought this" button, not thumbs up
