    Store won't load for me, plus when it does load it just looks normal

    I guess this is the big one, because it's sure taking them a while to get it all set up!

    It looks normal for me as well, no special background yet or anything, but the deals are INSANE.

    wow, bad company 2 is 6.79.
    I guess EA is buying pretty heavily into that cheaper price = more profit thing

    Cheaper prices + Crazy volume of sales = more profit.

    That, and there's gigantically increased profit margins on DD releases compared to B&M retail. According to someone from 1C publishing, it can be something like 3-4 times the profit margin of store bought copies.

    Not surprising. DD has almost none of the usual costs associated with it.

    Also, BC2 for $7? Fine, I will buy you.

    Okay now they've straight up removed all the deals and it shows "0 games for under $10" on the sidebar

    So they are desperately trying to fix it

    And so soon after the PC release too! I might buy another copy so my average cost will be only be 9.35. That's how it works, right?

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

    Singleplayer's OK, but you're pretty much buying it for the multiplayer, which is awesome.

    Still waiting on them to update. They usually have a few games on temporary sale in a rotation, and I bet Mass Effect 2 will be further discounted on one of those days.

    EA's little fun region pricing. Same discount, just that your base price is higher. I also see it as $10

    I also see Mass Effect 2 as $50 base price minus discount.

    (What the fuck EA? What the fuck?)

    Ah, thanks. I'll pass then. MP holds very little value to me, while SP is much more important.
