Sigh. I already have Steam and Impulse. I don't want yet another service i have to install, but wow $5 is tempting. Maybe it's a good thing I don't have time for any gaming right now.

just fyi for others out there, i already had supcom but no expansion and considered getting the gold edition for $5 just for the expansion. for others like me there is good news, it appears that both:

A) the expansion alone is available from D2D (there's a link to it from the gold edition page)

and

B) if you just get the gold edition, it appears to let you download the expac by itself, rather than downloading the original and expac all together

so i figured i might as well by the gold edition and give my extra key to my brother or something

Wow, I can see at least four things I'll be buying off of here. SupCom, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, and probably BIA. I haven't played the first three games in years. Looking forward to giving SupCom another try on a beefier machine than I had before.

Anyone else getting constant errors and never having their order complete? Also getting weird issues with the site not keeping me logged in. Figures when I decide to finally try out D2D.

This is honestly the first one where I've been a little underwhelmed, but I'm still stoked about finally picking up World in Conflict, can't beat it at 5 bucks.
