    I was upset when I meant to buy Assassins Creed for 5 dollars and then they took it away after the week was up! !

    Oh well, I spent my money on other games :)

    Probably...Only a few games were taken off as the weeks went by...I think since it survived the last game change...It will survive this one.

    Dark Crusade for $5 is a GREAT deal.
    Think I'm going to pick up World in Conflict Gold, seems to have some positive reviews.

    You may also want to take a look at COH Gold, another bargain for $5.

    Not having any problems here. Try clearing out your internet cache and see if that helps.
    Also, use IE w/ the D2D website. I've encountered errors in the past w/ FF.

    World in Conflict is one of my favorite games! It really has some wonderful online team play! Once upon a time I hated RTS...This game made me love it!

    Finally got it to work with a credit card, Paypal just wouldn't work for some reason :confused:

    Anyways, I picked up Company of Heroes GOLD, Supreme Commander GOLD, World of Goo, and Mount & Blade. 6 cool games for $20, that's pretty hard to beat :D

    Anyone know if World in Conflict will run on Windows 7? It says Windows XP and Vista (ONLY) so I'm wondering if it will run on my system.

    Thanks

    Yea, for some reason something's wrong and they're not accepting PayPal at the moment. It was working last night though, so I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

    Anyways, I just used PayPal to create an online Mastercard debit card and used that.
