    The Spider-Man games have remained expensive for some reason, have been interested in them too.

      Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

      Hey EA Origin what the hell.

      Just bought NFS Most Wanted on the amazon sale and am downloading it through Origin. After an hour or two running at 80 KB/sec I reset the computer, reset my modem and ran a speed test and got 25 down and 2 up.

      Happened to me a few weeks ago when there was some free Battlefield DLC deal and it took me all weekend to download it.

      Googled around and it seems EA is giving it the sony treatment since there are a bunch of people posting about 60-80 KB/sec downloads. Just check your connection and open some ports or some BS. All i know is I've never adjusted a router setting and Steam downloads at 1.6 - 1.8 Mb/sec every time while this is a 20 hour download for a 6GB game.

      Just wondering if anyone has some how run into this and gotten a good answer from EA.

        I've never had that problem with origin. To be completely honest origin normally downloads faster than steam for me.

          I'll agree. I like steam more of course because of sales but origin in download speeds have been much better for me.

            Would you guys say that the Deluxe edition ACIII worth it? Or should I just buy the Standard edition which is $13.31....

            http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Cree...ZD56Y8EG7GSVE1

            The deluxe comes with these...not sure if its worth it or not...

            Assassin’s Creed III Deluxe Edition includes:
            Assassin’s Creed III Season Pass: gives you access to all five upcoming downloadable content packs which are slated for release within six months after launch. Deluxe Edition owners will get exclusive early access to the first downloadable content pack.
            4 bonus single-player missions, adding over an hour of additional gameplay.
            The official Assassin’s Creed III soundtrack (mp3 files).
            George Washington’s notebook (pdf file).
            EDIT: went with standard edition...but eh...Amazon started taxing here in Jersey...good thing I preordered the PS4 before they started taxing...

                I'm from Jersey also I wasn't sure about that glad to know PS4 wont be taxed.

                I'm trying to buy brothers in arms Hells highway on amazon and it hasn't been available since the start of the sale. Very annoying

                Anyone play Anno 2070? Amazon has complete pack for sale. It looks pretty good wondering if someone has played it.

                        How is anyone supposed to take advantage of the sale if the site is always down?

                            It's been down a lot more often than it's been up for me ever since mestevo first mentioned the sale.
