You should be fine with a few settings turned down.

I'd love to see if there's anything I'd buy (Looking for a good deal on FC3), but no sorting/searching/etc...within that deal? I'll skip I guess.

Sleeping Dogs activates on Steam. Driver: San Francisco does not (rather, it requires uPlay). Hope that helps.
For the record, Amazon does carry Steam keys for a couple uPlay titles (see this or this). Though, as far as I know, Driver is not one of those titles.

Picked up Sleeping Dogs for $14 and The Cartel for $6. Used my Amazon gift card balance and got both for $0.

bah...used it to get Crysis 3. I was gonna wait till the price was significantly reduced, but I have nothing new to play until Tomb Raider. Besides, what good is a sale if you dont buy anything? :biggrin:

So, since Crysis 3 is still $60 on Amazon, I assume you mean you saved $15 with the CAG code? What made you consider not buying a voucher like I mentioned above? I paid $60 for Crysis 3 + Bioshock Infinite, and $56 for Tomb Raider + Bioshock Infinite. That beats the pants off of ANY deal that you will find.

In a thread about sales... people purposefully spend more money. Crazy! :colbert:

I dont want Bioshock, even if its only $11 more. I dont want to go through the hassle of trying to sell the Bioshock code either. Now, if it was Tomb Raider + Crysis 3, I would have bought it no prob.

in for dark souls. i hear it's a brutally hard grindfest of a game, but that's what makes it actually worth it.

Because of you, I ended up buying Tomb Raider + Bioshock Infinite on ebay for $50. I was already interested in both; $25/ea I guess was my breaking point.

I've lost control of my life. :p

I saw that as low as $45 today. I was tempted, as Tomb Raider itself is that price, but I would rather get the DLC with Steam than Bioshock. I wish they broke these game coupons up. Tomb Raider, Bioshock and Crysis 3 would be going for $30 each.

Well, just know that I'm also feeling your pain after buying two coupons (Crysis + Bioshock, Tomb Raider + Bioshock)! It's just too good of a deal to pass up!

Hm... do you think you won't get the DLC? I mean... I think you get the code ahead of the release, so maybe Steam will treat it like a pre-order?

I dont think so. The last time I redeemed one of these video card codes it was bare bones, just the game.

I think that's only for when you pre-order directly from the Steam store.

son of a b*tch!!!
i looked on ebay yesterday for tomb raider/bioshock infnite codes and saw one for 49.99 buy it now and one that was like high $30s. I put a bid in for $50 since it was ending soon and it got sniped at the last minute.

meanwhile the 49.99 bin copy sold. cheapest i found today was $57.99 BIN, still a good deal for 2 brand new games. so i bought it. like 5 minutes later I get an email that says the one for $49.99 BIN was relisted. FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
