Apologies to Nsanity for any delrailment.  I agree with the great deal part for a great game entirely.  Just got rubbed the wrong way when I was attacked for voicing my opinion about their (Amazons) silly method.

Lol, attacked. 



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

You really don't understand, do you?

I know what you say totally makes sense but what do you think gets you more sales?

1- listing the game at $10, attracting the attention of every news and gaming blog?

2- listing the game at $4 $1.74 and hiding the $6 shipping cost as well as possible, attracting the attention of every news and gaming blog?

Both of those, pretty much the same but the key difference is it's a lot easier to entine people with a $4 $1.74 game than a $10 game.  You end up spending the exact same either way, it's just that mental perception that makes the difference in the same way that the different between $299 and $300 seems like a lot.

Wrong.  I understand perfectly, I'm just not as easily fooled by it I guess.


So what do you think I'm fooled on?

I didn't mean you.  I mean the way it appears to be a better deal to some like you said, when in reality they are paying the same price and they'd be better off not having to wait fot the code to arrive in the mail.  Thats just odd to me that they'd do it that way.  Why ship a code?  One of the big advantages to downloading the game is that you don't have to wait for it to ship and you have access to it right away.  That's why I responded when you thought I didn't understand.  My lashing out was only directed at that other guy who's not worth responding to lol.  Good bye and have a nice day  :)



What a deal I thought the game was awsome. I got to go back through to get all the achievements but I did enjoy it very much. Good story and I also go the download for free for buying it at wal-mart.

For those Xbox 360 owners who haven't experienced Alan Wake, you owe to yourself to experience one of the best games the 360 offers. If $20 is too much for you, try $1.74 for the full game.

Video close out through Amazon is currently offering the FULL Alan Wake Game for download code for the Xbox 360 for only $1.74 with $7.99 shipping. ALAN WAKE Xbox 360 FULL Download Game

The total comes out to $9.73 for the full game. Not bad at all.

doesn't it sound weird they are charging 8 dollars postage when they could just email you the code instead?



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Just plucked my code out of the mail box! Gotta love the fast delivery.

Are you downloading it now or later?



Not sure when I'll get the chance actually, maybe later on tonight. I'm still undecided as to which of my 360 set ups to put it on too.

They seem to be pushing AW with bundles and such, I suspect AW2 will get a bigger push, and have mutiplayer.
