Amazon's Civ sale is up.

Civ IV Complete: $7.49
Civ V GOTY: $12.49

Various DLCs

Not sure if I should jump on Civ V GOTY or not. Do they just give you a Steam code or do they make you download it from them?

And I read that it's region locked. Does that mean US only or is Canada included in that region?

Same, i was wrong! great price indeed

Civ V requires steam no matter where you buy it. And if it is actually region locked then yes.

Edit: But since this is a steam key(I don't know a game can require steam and not give you a key) I don't think region locking matters. Someone more familiar with steam can verify that.

Thanks, I know it requires Steam, I just wonder if they just email you a Steam code or you have to download the full thing from them and somehow get the Steam code in the installer or something.

What do you mean "yes". Canada will work?

no only US

That's pretty cool, but they don't support gifting do they?

Awesome, time to acquire Civ4.

Just Cause games on Steam are require Steam to launch? Or you can buy and just play without Steam?

I don't know the 1st part, but the 2nd is a Steamworks title and you cannot even play it without Steam.

Can I activate this in Steam?

Hmmm... Do want, but wonder if its a good time to buy. Didnt this entire bundle go for cheaper on Amazon awhile back?

Don't use Amazon, so can't help ya there.

The deal on Amazon was $12 or $13 for Series 1 to 5 (GG is only 1 to 4), Sonic CD, and Renegade Ops complete. Definitely a MUCH better deal. Plus each week of the sale at GG had a different series on sale for $2.25 (Series 4 is on sale still for this week), so you could have grabbed them all for $9, or $7.65 with IGN discount.
