Direct2Drive is selling a bunch of games for $5

In honor of their 5 year anniversary, they're selling quite a few games (some of them are steals: Bioshock) for only $5. They announce new $5  games every week (according to the theme for that week), for the next 5 weeks. I think the games from last week are still $5, but you'll have to look for them.

Wow. I would have paid the OLD price for half of these games...I wonder if they can be downloaded outside of America/UK?

I've made many purchases from D2D and always been happy, no issues or troubles - even getting extra licenses when computers were reformatted, etc.
Not to mention you never have to worry about losing or scratching a play disk ;)  thought the d/l can take some time of course.
Definitely going to look into this :)
Thanks for the headsup!!

I think you can. They do exclude some regions though. I'm looking at the Sonic Mega Collection Plus and it says "This product is available for purchase worldwide excluding China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan."

edit: Bioshock says "This product is not available for purchase in Germany". I guess it varies from game to game.

It's a new week and the theme is RPG and MMO. Here are the games:

  • Neverwinter Nights 2
  • Assassin's Creed Director's Cut
  • Elven Legacy
  • Eve Online
  • Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
  • Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
  • Titan Quest Bundle
  • PlanetSideŽ: Aftershock
  • Drakensang: The Dark Eye
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

All of them $5 a piece. Kinda weird seeing Assassin's Creed and GTA: Vice City in there.
