It's slightly annoying that Amazon UK seems to think users in the UK don't want to buy downloads!

I'm not sure what I can do about that. The account is US based so the links might be also.

It's my understanding that once you follow our link into Amazon we still get credit, so perhaps you can navigate to the UK site and see if they'll give you downloads via that.

oh sorry LB - that wasn't directed at you.

The US has been able to buy download PC games from Amazon for quite some time now - I was just venting that they still haven't moved that system over to the UK..

Apologies. I'm sure there are LOADS of people who would be grateful for the link - as would I if Amazon got their finger out  ;)

I meant to ask - looking at the link, are these specific deals for Grogheads members? If so, that's quite cool.

I don't know.

Amazon has some highly sophisticated software. It wouldn't surprise me if many of those deals weren't tailored to you or me as individuals. Whether they're specific to our link or not? That I don't know. Could be. I doubt it as we're not really big enough to warrant a lot of experimentation, but it's possible that a computer algorithm has been created which could be used on us. I just don't know.

I think Homeland Security has the same thing for monitoring all us Grogheads!

I just clicked around a bit and there seem to be nothing stopping me from buying. I was logged in and it seem connected to my /uk account.
It is possible that they would add VAT. Worth trying when a good deal pops up

I'm holding out for 30% off UAV camera supplies.

Inversion is on sale for $9.98.  Word is, its a very underrated game.  I think the deal is for USA only.

Well Amazon is very region-specific.    They don't even sell ebooks to Singapore.  Duh! I made a dummy US account and used gift cards to do this. :)  The US gets most of the love. :(

Amazon has the Absolutely Great Square Pack -- for $9.99 this week.

Absolutely Great Square Pack includes the following games:

  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Augmented Edition
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution - The Missing Link DLC
  • Hitman: Blood Money
  • Just Cause
  • Just Cause 2
  • Supreme Commander 2
  • The Last Remnant
  • Quantum Conundrum

Looks like they are currently out of codes, but this is their big deal-of-the-week though, so it should be back (hopefully).

Looks like the deal is back...
