Now they just have to have one of their $2.99 sales, and then I would be so happy, 3 games for $6. Wouldn't that be great (I know I'm just greedy). But really any time you can grab a free game it is all good :)

Groupon has a deal; for $3, you get any downloadable game (up to a $9.99
value) from Big Fish Games. http://www.groupon.com/r/uu28434051 (The link reflects my referral)Use
Palm Beach for the city
Find the BF deal on the right-hand side of the screen.
The Groupon codes will count towards the two games, too...

You can also buy the deal at Pam Beach, Jackson and New Orleans.
I went to Palm Beach and Jackson and under same account was able to do so.
Also Aussies- it requires a proper Aussie postcode this time- maybe they fixed that bit!

Did you try to get the coupons from New Orleans? I had to put a proper UK postcode in this time as well. So it does seem that they have tweaked things around a bit.

I bought Dark Ritual with one of my punch card credits. Not that I should be playing games anyway (I just finished my degree but am doing some extra course this year for another certificate, I keep getting distracted though!). At least I will have plenty of games to look forward to.

We appreciate the hard work all you mods have been doing to get the forum posts up and running in the new place. I especially will appreciate it, since I couldn't get into the pub for most of the day today.

Got my 15 also! Thank you! Thank you! I am feeling rather gluttenous!
(When I first tried to buy today, if I put my email address in first offer diisappeared and was replaced with another. Had to leave site, return, and then hit buy button first. This was for both sites.)

A question regarding Groupon's Big Fish coupons...in reading the fine print, it say:
The fine print says "Limit 1 per person" and "May buy multiples as gifts." Can I buy myself some Groupons as gifts to myself and use more than one?
No. If the fine print says this, you can only redeem one. If you buy more than one then you have to give them away as gifts to other people.
So, if this is the case, then we can't purchase them from different places and use them ourselves?!!! Hope someone can clarify this. Thanks

Hi Loo
Each groupon branch works as a separate ordering entity.
For example-
You can only buy one lot from Houston- you can buy more as gifts for friends from there, you would have to use the "buy as gifts" button at Houston to buy more from that branch- and those gifts they are saying you must giveaway.
However, you can go to another branch and buy more coupons for yourself as a one off thing- and the only way to buy more from that branch is to buy for friends, again.
Hope that makes sense.
edited to say: that is how I understand it works from buying my coupons there.

The Palm Beach deal is still going (re-upped?). When I used it yesterday, I was able to put in a quantity of 3 for $9, and got my three codes... then did the same for DD's account. Haven't tried to buy any more, but I'm considering it... :p

Just as a note of caution - and I have bought from all 5 cities by the way - but is there a chance that we could be hurting Big Fish by buying these coupons.
Do you think that sales are now their business model and the price of games has really fallen and so this is ok or are they in some trouble and we are biting the hand that feeds us? BFG seems to not just publish anymore but also produce a lot of games. If BFG goes away I think the number of games produced will fall dramatically.
Sorry to be a wimp but I AM wondering why there are so many sales that it doesn't make sense to join their club.

My opinion only Cuddle, don't know for a fact. I believe BF's customer base is huge. The people who read BF's forum and this forum are small compared to it. So there won't be a huge amount of peeps taking advantage of this offer. For the 15 coupons you bought (me too) they won't get $60. But they will probably sell many more games because of this to even things out.
I don't personally think BF is in trouble but if they are, these coupons won't make much of a difference. MHO
