These deals have been great, but my god I HATE D2D compared to Steam. I'm sitting here downloading Titan Quest at a whopping 400KB/sec and sometimes it drops to 200. I could live with that if it was halfway as convenient as Steam, but TQ is a fucking 2GB zip file. So i'm going to finish downloading it and then I have to extract it and then install it? fuck that.

If this is what $5 gets me, I don't think I'll be purchasing any more games from D2D.

Its almost criminal if you do not buy these at this price:

Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir
Assassin's Creed Director's Cut
Titan Quest Bundle
Drakensang: The Dark Eye

These prices are insane! If I ever see a game under $10 that I don't have there is no way I can resists not buying it.

Well one thing if anyone find out how to run NWN2 at 1920x1080 at 50 to 60fps let me know how you did it?

I'm in Canada, I was going to buy Age of Conan and finally check it out, but it says "only available in the US". WTF? Does that mean I can't buy it at all, or I can only connect to US servers? Are there even any Canadian servers out there?

Neverwinter Nights 2 and Storm of Zehir for $10 would be great if the added expansions wouldn't cost another $30. I want Mask of the Betrayer and Mysteries of Westgate for $5 each, too!!! Come on D2D... give up NWN2 Gold for $10 or $15!!!
