Must just be the UK who don't get Amazon Downloads. Which kinda sucks, but hey, we got Avengers early.
Savvygamer suggest that one from the UK can buy stuff from Amazon US Digital, but you need to use a valid US address, (but being digital, nothing gets sent there obviously! XD).
I personally wouldn't go through the hassle,(I'd be a little worried about reprocussions, (and the deals aren't that good)), but people appear to be using that method.
(And also warns that some card handlers may charge a fee, (for currency conversion))
I don't know, some supremely generous and awesome person seems to have deleted an old post of theirs to allow me to nab the 1K and 2K milestones. I wonder who that mystery man of majesty could have been. If he were here, I'd buy him a drink. A non-alcoholic one, if I recall correctly.
Today's Daily Deal is Nation Red. Bit of an odd one - it's an arena based shooter viewed from a top-down perspective. £1.59 / $1.99 on its own, or a four pack (with three giftable copies) for £4.79 / $5.99.
Does anyone know if the "Oh So Fine" bundle from Amazon has individual Steam codes for each of the games, or if it's one bundle code? I'm kinda considering getting Stacking now if I can get codes for Psychonauts and Costume Quest to give away to friends.

They are individual Steam codes.
I'm debating about whether to redeem or give away the code for Psychonauts, since I already own a PC version via GoG.com. I think I will use it, though, since the steam version has achievements and whatnot
Usually it's 1:00 EST. Convert that into your own time, I'm far too lazy.
That is my time(well EDT due to daylight savings time and whatnot), so its good to know the game will be updated before I get home. Hopefully I can just run my laptop on steam and get this downloaded before I'm even home.

And the Steam version got patched (at the same time when Mac version was released) and I'm not sure if the GoG version is patched or not.

I think there's an unofficial patch on the GOG forums to give most of the new functionality (better controller support, widescreen fixes, etc.) Obviously no Steam achievements, but still pretty close from what I read. I own both GOG and Steam now, since I love me some achievements.
Today's Daily Deal is Anomaly: Warzone Earth, yet another bloody tower defence game. £3.05 / $3.39.
Midweek Madness is Alan Wake. £11.49 / $14.99.
You can also pre-order Alan Wake's American Nightmare for $10.79 / 13.49, if you should so choose.
Haha! In the UK, GOG has Alan Wake for Cheaper and DRM Free
(Exchange rates win for GOG)
Sorry Steam, for once you are too slow! XD
EDIT:
From GOGs facebook:
Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be available for pre-orders tomorrow!
The game will be available 10% off for $17.99, but if you purchased Alan Wake on GOG.com, the second part is 25% off--that's $14.99 for a game you are not allowed to miss.
Talk about GOG stealing Steam's thunder! XD
(Prices work out about the same in the UK. American nightmare pre-order is cheaper on Steam, but core game is a little cheaper on GOG. So Its Achievements vs DRM-Free. I know what I am going to go for! XD)
Today's Daily Deal is... Wolfenstein 3D? Yep, the very first one is now the price it should always have been on Steam - 74p / $1.24. Note that this doesn't include the Spear of Destiny, though it is available separately for the same price. Return to Castle Wolfenstein is also reduced, down to £1.49 / $2.49.
The complete Wolfenstein pack (which DOESN'T include the recent one just called Wolfenstein, sadly) is also reduced, and the recommended buy if you're going to get this. It's got Wolf3D, Spear of Destiny & Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and it's a mere £2.50 / $3.75.
Finally, the offer apparently extends to the Super id Software Pack, which has so much stuff in it I can't be bothered to list it - have a link instead./ It's £37.99 / $49.99. And yes, RAGE is in it, but not Wolfenstein (2008).
On a completely different note, I just plain forgot to mention that the Steam version of Alan Wake also has a collector's edition for £13.49 / $17.49 (or there's the option to upgrade your normal version for £3.49 / $4.99). You get a commentary track, PDF artbook and the soundtrack.
Join the Official Rockstar Games Community on Steam at http://steamcommunity.com/games/rockstargamesby 10 am Pacific Time on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, and receive one non-giftable copy of Midnight Club 2 in your Steam account by May 29th.
Eligibility: User must have an account with at least one successful purchase, gift or retail registration in the account. The offer is not available to users who already own Midnight Club 2.
There's also the Weekend deals, which I didn't post because I was half-asleep all last evening. Better now
First, there's the Tropico series. Tropico IV is free-to-play all weekend, and the entire series is on offer. Here's the list:
(Note that all of the following are the same price, whatever your currency (grr). Tropico: Reloaded (Tropico, the Paradise Island DLC and Tropico II: Pirate Cove) - 2.37 Tropico III - 3.39 Tropico III: Absolute Power (DLC) - 3.39
...and the three above as the Tropico Trilogy is 6.79.
There's also Tropico 3: Gold Edition, which is just T3 and the Absolute Power DLC, at 5.09.
Then there's the Tropico IV stuff, which is thankfully converted! Tropico IV - £10.19 / $13.59
Tropico IV Strategy Guide - £2.72 / $3.40, or together with the game: £11.38 / $15.29 DLC
Junta Military / Plantador / Quick-Dry Cement - £1.35 / $1.69 each
Modern Times - £11.24 / $14.99
...right. Onto the other stuff! Next is Company of Heroes. Company of Heroes - £1.39 / $1.99 Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts - £1.99 / $3.99 Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor - £1.99 / $3.99
...and the trilogy is £5.39 / $9.99, which is fractionally more expensive than buying them individually.
Finally, there's stuff with Steamworks. These are: Portal 2 - £5.09 / $6.79 (they're really trying to flog this, aren't they ) The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - £23.44 / $40.19
...I'll do the prices in pounds in a minute. Patience, young padawans...
You're in for a treat if you haven't played it before. I got it for my birthday about a year ago. Unfortunately the episodes are really far between, but I got the impression they're working on the last two episodes simultaneously, so hopefully they'll be able to wrap up the story this year.
Today's Daily Deal is the Commandos Collection. The first three titles, and the stand-alone expansion for the first game. Individually 80p / $1, or £2.40 / $3 as a package. At that price, I highly recommend them.
Amazon has Serious Sam games on sale and they redeem on Steam:
- Serious Sam 3 BFE $9.99
- SS the Random Encounter $1.24
- SS Double D $1.99
- Serious Sam 2 $2.49
- SS HD: The First Encounter $3.74
- SS HD: The Second Encounter $4.99
Some are available in a 4-pack for sharing with friends.
Today's Daily Deal is Lucid, a puzzle game I know nothing about.
At first I was like "nice, a puzzle game", but then I checked the Steam store page and I was like "oh, fuck no". Is there really a need for more games like this?
Most notably is Just Cause 2 which is $3.74 separate and $6.25 with ALL the DLC...
My thoughts. Hot dang! I got this for 360, but I am still getting this for PC tomorrow, such a good deal AND such a fun game! Just don't get it if you have XP. Apparantly it doesn't work on that IIRC.
EDIT:Anyone know how long this deal is? I can't get it tonight...
And perhaps anyone that owns the DLC say which ones are good and which to avoid?

Well, that was significantly derpier than normal. My bad.
Possibly.
So what time do Valve updates generally come out for their games? I'd rather not wait until 11:00 PM EDT for this to come out.

I think these are the least surprising sales of the year. If you don't already have it though, ...you are dead to me.
Sorry, I don't know about international prices.
Don't worry too much about prices. The fact you found it at all is enough!
Achievements of course.
EDIT: GOG has the pre-order of American Nightmare up.
http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/alan_wakes_american_nightmare
Oh, and its price-matched on steam now.
(So its like £8 for us in the UK if we already have Alan Wake on GOG, making it the best deal out of the two now)

Today's Daily Deal is Lucid, a puzzle game I know nothing about. 1.24, whatever your currency (grr).
Also, there's a bunch of DLC for Anno 2070 out today. It's not on offer, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
At first I was like "nice, a puzzle game", but then I checked the Steam store page and I was like "oh, fuck no". Is there really a need for more games like this?

I'd recommend this - I've been having a lot of fun with the PS3 version.
Midweek Madness is twofold this week, with both 'games' being half price.
Plants vs. Zombies is £1.75 / $2.49, while Dear Esther is £3.49 / $2.49. Hence the quotes around 'game'.
Also, Sonic 4: Episode II is out now. Joy, or something. I guess.
