TParis: Would somebody gift me Aliens vs. Predator? Don't have any credit card, but could send money via PayPal. Steam name is TParis.
I'll add you on Steam.
Fable 3 for $28.06 on Amazon.com deal of the day. For all its faults and criticisms, few people note how incredibly good the drop in co-op play was.

New DLC just came out, beware the PC version has been announced and at this time, will have features that there is no reason to believe the XBox 360 version will get (e.g. hardcore mode, being one). We may get that on XBox, but they have not promised it.

KavazovAngel: Steam and GfWL for sure. The other two or three more known DDs (D2D, GG, Impulse) will probably remain for a long time too.

trusteft: I am not so sure about GFWL. Microsoft has jumped ship before.
They are on the right path with unifying Xbox and Windows Phone... Surely they won't leave the PC crew alone?, especially with the possible integration of Windows and the Live services that comes with Windows 8.
Beamdog weekend sales

Arcania: Gothic 4 - $24.99
SpellForce Platinum - $4.99
SpellForce 2 Gold - $9.99
[url=http://www.beamdog.com/products/homesteader ]Homesteader[/url] (a match 3 game) - $4.99
Trapped Dead - $19.99 (Greed: Black Border and Shadowgrounds for free with purchase)

I would think any failed digital shops would get merged into others.

Tell that to PC Gaming Alliance.

I'm glad the PCGA is dead. They were worthless and did their best to kill off the PC. They failed, hence Microsoft are pulling out.

US/Canada only. It's almost like you want us to complain.

nmillar: We at Get Games towers have noticed that the winter is coming to an end,. We have also noticed that a lot of publishers are reaching their year end – hence the increase in high quality releases about to heave into view in March. The problem is, there is only so much money to go around, so this week we are doing our bit to help out.

Shogun 2 Total War is the latest and we think will be the greatest game yet from Creative Assembly. It is released on the 15th of March and currently when you pre-order you get a free copy of Rome Gold, but to make it even easier from the 3-8th of March we are taking 20% off on top. Just use the voucher code

romansamurai

But that’s not all, we also have the excellent Men of War Assault Squad with 20% off from the 3rd until some bloke from Moscow tells us they are coming to see us!

And, well there is always an “and”, we have some seriously cheap bits of digital contentment for your delectation

Commandos Men of Courage – 60% off
Heroes of Might & Magic V – 60% off
Settlers 5 – 50% off
Wow thanks nmillar, that's even cheaper than gamersgate!

I'm still trying to get the card; been quite busy this week

Delixe: Steam weekend deal is an Ubisoft pack of Assassin's Creed, Call of Juarez 2, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and Far Cry 2 Fortunes Edition for €12.99.

jimthev: Newcomer to the digital market: thumbmonkeydigital/

has these deals:

Cricket Revolution - $4.99
Lego Universe - $19.99
Reactor -$0.99
Racers' Islands: Crazy Arenas - $7.50
Racers' Islands: Crazy Racers - $7.50
Gods vs Humans - $9.99

Their UI looks to be another Steam/Beamdog type with client controlled access, but I haven't used it yet so who knows for sure. As for history, thumbmonkey itself has been around for a while and I've picked up quite a few old games/controllers from them over the years.

To the off topic people: Cool story bro.

jlg6184: There seems to be one too many newcomers to the digi-distribution anymore. I mean I have never heard of this or Beamdog, but I am concerned that too many of these places may oversaturate the market, which is fine until one can't compete anymore and goes under, in which case we would likely loose any games purchased through them (which is always the concern with digi-distributers). Any thoughts on which ones may have the staying power (IE Steam, D2D, Gamersgate)?
I think Steam, GamersGate, Impulse and GoG are here to stay for quite some time. D2D has some leverage as well but even if D2D goes down, their software isn't dependent on their existence.
Dreamcast collection up on GamersGate and Steam.

GamersGate says StarForce, though...

Like D2D and GoG, Thumbmonkey's download client is optional ( I just did a little research) and even though the download section looks to be fly-by-night it's tied to their main store and bread and butter which sells hard copies for all platforms

Dragobr: Dreamcast collection up on GamersGate and Steam.

I wouldn't bother. Apparently the games are very buggy. Typical.

Edit: Looks like GreenManGaming is having an Aliens Vs Predator sale - for $4.97.

No AA something the original port of Sonic Adventure DX had. Very lazy port and with Sega I am disappoint.
