It really depends on the game and what you're looking for. On occasion, Amazon beats Steam and GOG for one or two titles, and sometimes vice-versa. Speaking of Steam, their Winter sale should start up later today. |

Steam sale usually starts around noon EST, and yes it should be today.

That EU4 pricing is tempting though. EU4 was at the same price ($9.99) in humble bundle store earlier and as a bonus (one with 1.32 multiplier at the time to be exact) it was actually charged in USD instead of the dreadful 1:1 conversion that usually takes place with prices in digital sales when it comes to euro.  |

Yeah, but I was eyeing more the extreme pack for $11 that has a few addons. |

1pm EST, or 10am PST. Edit: I would love if someone made a chrome extension that checked your steam wishlist against amazon pricing. |

A preorder game for the daily deal is a little lame.

They've had at least one in the last couple of sales. Given that that is more and more the model for indie game development, it's only going to happen more.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is not an indie title. On the other hand the release date is January 9, a week after the Holiday Sale ends, so it's not like you have to wait that long for the game to be released.

I didn't say it was, just stating that the opportunity to see more games that aren't released yet to go on sale is only increasing.

From that link. Further clarity. you can buy multiple games to get multiple credits, but they don't stack, so, if you buy 10 games in November/December, you'll get 10 $5 credits, but you have to use them on 10 individual purchases, not 1 for $50 off.

Ah, so it's retarded. Thank you. |

Yeah, if they DO match prices, I may buy stuff from there anyway, because.. why not, but it's not nearly as awesome as I originally thought.

I'm guessing its not $5 off anything from amazon in the future right? |

True. Since I can't use the $5 credit on soap or pants, my ability to take advantage is limited.

KallDrexx had already stated what it was good on. It's only good towards their "Editor's Choice" stuff in January.

I wish I could buy games from Amazon. Alas, Canada. If you stick to just downloads, set up a new account, and enter some US address or other. I've snagged a couple of decent bargains that way. |

Here's an Amazon deal which might be of interest if you had your eye on even one of the games (as I have for Crusader Kings II): Paradox Grand Strategy Pack [Download] $9.99- Crusader Kings II [Download]
- Europa Universalis III Complete [Online Game Code]
- Hearts of Iron III [Online Game Code]
- March of the Eagles [Download]
- Sengoku [Download]
- Victoria II [Online Game Code]
Sengoku is apparently the only one with "non-Stream DRM" |

No wish list tie-in, but this site is very good for tracking and comparing all the deals from a dozen online stores at a glance: http://www.cheapshark.com/Click the Browse link for great precision. |

GOG.com is having a New Year's sale right now for the next 22 hours to finish out their Winter sale. Lots of bundle discounts. |

Steam seems to have Bioshock Infinite Season Pass for 5 moneys. Probably a mistake so go for it! I did.

Bioshock Infinite itself is at 7.50 today, but I can't bring myself to care for the setting so I guess I'll go with Metro Last Light which is about 10 (both down from the usual 29.99).
