Seems like some really good deals. Has anyone ever downloaded from Amazon before?

Ive purchased a few games from them, once you have an account set up its similar to gamersgate or the like, you can redownload them later. If its a steamworks game you can register the key on steam, if its an EA game you can register the key on origin.

I wouldnt hesistate to snag a deal from them if it was for a game i wanted, or if it was a good enough price for a game i was kind of curious about.

alot of the games dont work on steam which is a pity cause i dont like using their download manager.

I've downloaded from them before. It's GREAT!

It's just like downloading the whole DVD... only...you know... Legally.

Hell. You can burn the files straight to DVD and it'll be like having the original only with no copy protection. It's a really great system. I love them. If I wasn't in a money crunch now I'd buy a FEW of those games.

Darkness 2 for 12.49 that didn't take long.

GTA4: $5

All the games (2 of them) I've bought from Amazon Digital would activate on Steam.

JU571N · 04-10-12, 05:47 PM

I'm pretty sure only games on this list will activate on Steam. I've tried my retail copies of various games and none of them would activate on Steam despite being available on Steam. My DVD Drive doesn't work very well and I really don't want to buy another since I rarely use it anymore so being able to download these from Steam would be great. But I'm sure as hell not going to re-buy all of these games on Steam just to have them there. It's not that I'm cheap I just have an issue with Steam forcing you to re-buy games just so they can get their cut.

Gonna check out Lord of the Rings. Never dl'd from them but I do have an Amazon discount code, so going to see if it works.

Yeah, I've downloaded a couple games I've purchased from Amazon a few times on different OS installs without any problem.
