Here's the Sale.

PC Download Amazon Sale Ends 11:59 PST

What I want is Alice Madness Returns, Crysis Maximum, and Crysis 2.

But I hear that the Crysis games have EXTREME DRM with SecruRom. Allowing me to only activate the game on certain systems.

I also hear that I can redeem the games on Origin kinda.

Is it a good idea to buy these games under such circumstance or should I wait for another Sale to come around some other place?

It depends on how long you want to wait. I've seen all of those except for Alice for cheaper prices. At that point, that's a matter of saving like $5 though and waiting half a year to save it. As for the DRM, that's just a decision you will have to make about how much you are willing to take. Some of those are in the DRM database in my sig, but I don't think any of them were bought on Amazon so they could be different there.

Alright, I have also checked that I can get Crysis Maximum on my Origin Library, don't know how, but If I can get them on there then I think I should be good to go and not have to worry about installation worries.

I'm not seeing any of the supposed discounts. Is the sale over or something? The highest discount I'm seeing is 27%

Crysis 2: $30

DNF: $16.21

NFS Hot Pursuit: $16.68

Alice Madness Returns: $24.02

I'm based in the USA.

The sale was yesterday. It was great because I had 3 $5 coupons from purchasing games during their Christmas sale. I got Crysis 2 for $5, Dead Space 2 for just over $2, and Alice Madness Returns for just over $2.

Sorry for the double post. The sale ran yesterday when Alice was $7.49, Crysis Max was $8.99, Crysis 2 was $9.99, and a bunch of games ranged from $7.99 - $8.99

Where have you seen Crysis 2 cheaper than $9.99? Cheers, Tony

Again, curious where you've seen Alice: Madness Returns for $7.49, Crysis 2 for less than $9.99, and Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition + Dragon Age 2 for $12?

I think it was D2D around Christmas. I doubt it was much cheaper though.

I found out about it late and wanted to share the word about it, even though the sale had like 5 hours left.
