I was looking around Amazon for deals on Call of Duty: Black Ops (I've told myself never to buy a Call of Duty ever again, but this one doesn't have noobish perks. Or at least the ones I dearly hated so much.) Anyways, I was looking around, thinking of getting the Ps3 version, cuz none of my close friends PC Game =(, and I am not supporting the Xbox anymore. AND GUESS WHAT I FOUND!! The 200 points (20$ credit towards another game) also includes the PC Version. This is the first time, I have seen a special on Amazon on video games, that includes the PC version.

Awesome you found that dude. Amazon has been offering incentives and discounts on PC games for quite a while though, it's not incredibly new. They also offered $20 credit for MW2 last year, for example http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/expired-deals/960885/

Amazon, Newegg, and GoGamer are great places to look for good deals on PC games via online retail. My experience has been that with incentives/discounts and even very often with their standard prices, these guys tend to be cheaper than picking up games on Steam, particularly new releases. Where Steam factors in heavily with great prices is during it's Steam sales, such as over the holidays.

I have Black Ops current pre-ordered with Newegg for $49.99, straight up price -- not a credit (unsure if it's still at that price). I'm considering switching it to Amazon but haven't yet pulled the trigger.

ah lol...This is the first time, I saw the same special going on for all versions of the game. Must be cause all the games have the same price, expect the Wii. Still getting the PS3 version tho. Might get the PC version later on...

Yeah, maybe since they are all at the same price they receive the same incentive. I remember Mafia II had a $10 credit for the PC version (for a $39.99 "effective" price), I don't think the console versions were at that same price though.

Amazon is also running a buy 3 games for the price of 2 (PC/consoles/DS) special right now if you weren't aware, might be some decent titles in there. Definitely if you have the interest, consider Black Ops for the PC -- return of dedi-servers -- you should be able to meet and greet some good people to game with.
