Didnt see a thread on this, but I swore there was one. Oh well.

Linky! (http://www.direct2drive.com/d2dturns5)

Its their 5 year anniversary so they are having a huge sale. 50 games for $5 a pop. Every week they update the list with more titles, and it is now week 2 or 3. Heres what we got:

Sid Meier's Pirates!
BioShock
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Saints Row 2
MLB 2K9
MLB Front Office Manager
STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl

And it looks like all the previous games are still on sale:

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory

Far Cry
Silent Hunter III
Call of Juarez
Civilization 4
Empire Earth Gold

Some pretty good games in there. Plus buying at least one game enters you in a drawing to win all 50 games.

Cool. Got some good ones I miss'd in there real cheap.

So, next question -- how does D2D deal w/ DRM?

Does D2D have one sort of protection for everything -- like their own homebrew protection? Do they use their own homebrew plus other protection? Or is there no DRM period?

Does the 3rd party companies decide what they use period?

Some decent deals there.
Hmmm...I wonder what Drakensang: TDE had for DRM on disc and on D2D...

Riddick and some other action games that were $5 last week are still $5 this week, as well.

Since I finished Sacred 2 other nite, time to move on.
So, Drakensang's being downloaded from D2D...
Probably will take a good while...
