Get Alan Wake for a Penny, That’s right, One cent

CG - "I thoroughly enjoyed Alan Wake. There…I said it. I mean, it had its faults, but there was some solid gameplay, not to mention, a very decent story to be had! There was a lot of build up before the game was released, and no one really thought it lived up to the hype. But I think, even with all its faults, it’s still worth a penny! Right??"

"The catch? It’s actually for the DL code….and…well…you have to pay $6.70 for shipping. "

No thx I prefer disc

TurismoGTR5351d ago

if Video Games were $20 from the start, sales would go through the sky!

they just gotta find a way how to tho. maybe stop disc production and go with cloud servers.

Tanir5351d ago

and sadly people would still buy used lol

Kamikaze1355351d ago

I wonder why they can't just email you the code after you pay

Johnny_Cojones5351d ago

They're profiting from the shipping.

SpartanZero5351d ago

I got the Alan Wake DL code and Forza 3 because it came with the slim bundle nice.

MrBeatdown5351d ago

The GameFly store has it used with free shipping for $12.99. I bought a copy. It's a little scratched, but like with all GameFly store games, the case is brand new and it even includes the DLC.

ZeroChaos5351d ago

This is a disgrace, Alan Wake deserves more then this.

outwar60105351d ago

lol every game depreciates in value this was released quite some time ago if you think retailers still have the right to charge £40 for it; then that's your derogative. There are newer games now; while that may still be a good game, its not the latest one and the majority have probably already played it.

humbleopinion5351d ago (Edited 5351d ago )

This is actually the right thing to do: Alan Wake is such an amazingly atmospheric game that every gamer deserves to play and enjoy it - even ones who can't afford the retail price. The developers at Remedy should be flattered.

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8778d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

jznrpg190d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto777d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia778d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger778d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie778d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos778d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie778d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh778d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
