thats a good price for Anno 2070 i think.

Almost certain BD's been cheaper elsewhere before. Like sub-$5. I've heard multiple people say it was a good game, almost a sleeper hit though so if you're interested there's a good chance it'll feel worth it even at its current price tag.

Might as well; I have ME3 on Origin and ME1-2 on Steam. Never had any issues with either platform. Keep in mind you'll still need to buy most, if not all, of the DLC (ME3: The Extended Ending is free, and From Ashes may be included... though it wasn't for mine. Cerberus Network gave 4 pieces of DLC for free for ME2... and I've still never bought any DLC for ME1).

Edit: All told, I've clocked over 400 hours between all three games. 146 on ME1, 206 on ME2... and only 85 on ME3

Well the Trilogy on Gameflys Is all Origin. I can deal with it I guess. I mean I realized I alreayd have a ton of other installers, holding out against one because of w/e reason is just stopping me from playing, what I can assume, from everyone's opinions, is supposed to be a great game series.

I mean I was looking through and I have Steam Desura Uplay Smite/Tribes installer, Raptr, Gface(?). Maybe one day in the future someone will code a program like Raptr/Xfire that unifies all the installers with their own store pages on different tabs or something, but populates all your Games Libraries into one list. The only reason I use Raptr, isnt because of the Unified games tracking(sort of, PSN,XBLA achieves = experience in games, unlike Steam/PC games being tracked by time/achieves) thats a nice bonus. I originally grabbed it for IM unification/Ingame overlay of IM's so I don't miss messages.

Yeah this was one of my arguments against Origin, I hate having my library separated, Steam and Desura likened to Mainstream or Indie. Desura is mainly indie games, low budget, bundle stuff, mostly. Steam on the opposite hand handles more of the larger Mainstream games. So the issues of them being separate never bothered me so much. Uplay while being separate launcher, has the nifty Achievement points can buy in game stuff thing, which steam doesnt support (atm), but they are still working with Steam, putting in a 'lite' version of there installer (From what I can tell).

My main issue was EA and there we have to have our own and cant share mentality, and that it just separated my games library. If you want any new EA game you're forced into their system.

Like I said the person who can make an Installer that populates and gets all your steam games, origin games, etc and puts it all into one program will be a rich man.

ATM there are 3 avenues, installing everything, putting all the Desktop links in one folder on the desktop like years passed (I cant be the only one to do this back in Windows 95/98), be like Joph with a spreadsheet of all his games, or just deal with tons of programs to launch said games.

Amazon doesn't match publisher sales so they wouldn't match a ME sale on Origin, Far Cry 3 on Ubisoft, etc.

That XCOM: EU price is as low as I've seen it thus far. Of course, it'll probably only go lower. That's easily the best price I've seen for Torchlight II. Last best price I saw it at was $7.49 each if you bought into a 4-pack.

Origin is having a week long sale to celebrate Riccitiello stepping down, almost the entire catalog is discounted.

Not knowing anything about them, whatsoever, I know that I want a Late Night and Supernatural expansion to every game. But only if both of those topics are combined.

So you want a "Ghost in a Teeny Bikini" sort of game, eh?

Gamefly Today 24 Hour sale
Crysis 3 39.99
Civ 5 7.49
Civ 5:Gold 12.49
FIFA '13 15.20
Sonic all Stars racing 14.99

Nothing for me today.

I haven't annoyed anyone in a while by talking about good deals I've snagged.

-- Bought Bioshock: Infinite bundle from GamersGate including Bioshock: Infinite, XCOM: EU, Bioshock and SpecOps for 36,805 blue coins (using 20% comp discount from Bethesda fiasco). Get back 15,792 blue coins as part of promotion. Total spent: 21,103 Blue Coins ($21.10). Actual cost to me is $16.88 since I got the BC's during the short window you could use the comp discount for them.

-- Already own $24 copy of B:I from buying the AMD card. Sell extra Bioshock:Infinite code for $22

-- Now own free XCOM: EU (and extra copies of Bioshock & SpecOps... yay?) and made $5 cash on top of it

nobody cares.
