This might a stupid good deal [Brothers - A tale of two sons]

Price is: $5.99 which is great but.... "Digital Games $5 Holiday Credit: Purchase anything from the Digital Games Store from November 21 - December 31 and get a $5 promotional credit to spend on our 2013 Editor's Choice Games. Promotional credit emails will be sent out on or shortly after January 3, 2014. " [u]I have no idea about other countries... got to check your respective amazons[/u] ------------------------------ *Shrug* It seems like a great price even without the potential of getting $5.00 off whatever they plan to announce deal wise. Steam's lowest price so far was $7.50. I guess its better if you plan to keep watching amazon for more its a better deal. Games on sale for discount is probably going to be Tomb Raider/ Bioshock Infinite / etc. Same deal applies to Aliens Colonial Marines which is $1.99 Both games need Helix's patch [obviously].

This is only available for Americans. You can bypass the region lock by entering a secondary address in the US. I personally use the address of Amazon's HQ as mine.

For what it's worth, you get the $5 credit for every game you purchase, but only one credit can be applied per game. So if you buy two games and get two $5 credits, in January you can't use both on one game to get $10 off, you can only use one on two separate games to get $5 off on both (this is assuming you end up wanting to buy 2 games.)

I wouldn't buy just for the $5 credit, though. Amazon could end up raising the prices of all their "Editor's Choice" games by $5.

Still best price on either game to date. I'd be surprised if they did. They are really trying to be a digital contender. ----------------------- Castle of illusion is 30 fps capped. Which is not huge in that type of game.. Just saying is all.

Yep. I was following Amazons sales a lot last year. There weren't a lot of worthwhile sales that made using that $5 credit a good idea, but there were a few really choice options that made it stellar. They also definitely won't raise the price of everything by $5. They've got a really good customer support team who post on Reddit, CheapAssGamer and used to post on GAF. They're genuinely trying to keep the gamers happy and frequently reach out to see what people are looking for in sales.

Yeah. They're cool about not raising prices. I don't have any credits yet, but I might do this. It's not a bad idea to have one or two because they tend to have some really good ones. I almost seem to remember they had that pretty awesome MS bundle (5 indie titles including Mark of the Ninja) for 10 dollars last year. So it was 5 dollars after the credit. And at that point, I don't think anyone had sold MoTN for less than five dollars by itself.)

Oh, wow. I didn't realize they lifted the cap. I have a very low opinion of stereo 3D at 30fps, so I took it off the "list". EDIT: Oh, wait. It's only fixed if you use "borderless"? Can 3D Vision even be engaged in windowed mode? I assume that's what the forums are talking about. Borderless window? After the cluster**** that was Sonic Transformed, I'm no longer going to assume Sega games don't have weird hz locks in them.

I only made sure 720/60fps is selected in video settings.

I was only asking because I went to the Steam forum and it looked like it needed to be done to get the 60fps. And I didn't really want to just take things at faith, because some people were claiming that Transformed could run at 60fps in 3D, when it took me all of 5 seconds to know that was ridiculous. Just wanted to make sure Sega wasn't pulling another weird one on this.
