BigFish's First Ever Collector's Edition Sale! This Weekend Only!

For this weekend only (August 27-28) all Collector's Editions released prior to August 2011 can be purchased for only 9.99 for non-club members and 6.99 for club members!

You can begin your shopping here on BigFish and use the code ONETIME at checkout.

Happy Gaming!

Ana

Wow! Great deal.

Thanks, Ana.

Oh boy, so much for not buying any games this weekend!

I get "The code you have entered is invalid"

I think the code will start working when it is midnight PST, so not for another hour yet.

Wow!!! Just treated myself... It does say that August releases are not included though..

onetime doesn't work still $13.99. Will wait.
I guess I can't use the code on August release.
Not such a great deal anyway.

I just put a CE that I don't have into my shopping cart and apparently if you are a Game Club member it will only cost $6.99; that is what it showed in the shopping cart.

Richard, the code only works on CEs that were released prior to August 2011--maybe you were trying to buy a CE that was released this month? The code works just fine for me.

Yes Marian I was trying to buy a ce game for this month.
Richard

Will it still give 3 punches?

Yes.

Thanks, Marian

Pooh! Right after I bought one for the regular price yesterday.

Is this the weekend that I buy my first CE ever??

Edit: I just tried to purchase Macabre Mysteries: Curse of the Nightingale Collector's Edition and the total cost said it was only $6.99 - Now I am really really confused!

As it turns out, with the coupon code the CE price this weekend for Game Club members is 6.99; the 9.99 price is for folks who don't belong to the Game Club. Enjoy!

What if you just have the SE of a game? Do you just download the CE version?

Oh wow - I didnt realise this! Thanks Marian

Yes, that's what you do.

Rosaboobie, I just bought the same game--Curse of the Nightingale, and it is also my first Collector's Edition. I'll have to hurry and finish Princess Isabella-A Witches' Curse so I can get started on this one!

Thanks Marian! I updated the main post to reflect the prices for club members.

Is there a way of telling when a game was released? What games were released in August?

Bets, this page shows all the CEs that qualify for the sale.

Hi, Ana!

Can we use our game club credits for these?

I don't think so; I believe you have to use the coupon code.

Is there a easy way to tell if you already bought a game without going into your account. I bought so many games I forgot which ones I bought. Thanks
Richard

Wow! So glad I visited Big Fish today! I had 4 games that I had in my "To Buy" folder (I always wait so I can fill out a punch card and earn a freebie) I was ready to purchase the standard editions. I now got all 4 Collector Editions for the same price! Plus I'll fill out two punch cards!

This is a great deal! Thank you BigFish!!!!

The only other way I can think of would be to run a game through your shopping cart (purely as an experiment, not purchasing it); if you already own the game, the system will tell you that. Please note, however, that the system sees a standard version and a CE of the same game as two different things; so for example, if you have the standard version of Macabre Mysteries and you put the CE in your shopping cart, the shopping cart will see it as an entirely new game and will not inform you that you already have Macabre Mysteries.

Thanks Marian will try it.
Richard

I got Macabre Mysteries: Curse of the Nightingale and F.A.C.E.S. CEs for the price of one.

Sounds good, JKEerie and Guybrush!

Well, I'm depressed. I can't find one game that I already don't have either the CE or SE. I may go through withdrawals before the end of the month.

Well, I'm a bit embarrassed to say this, but this is a wonderful sale for me, the reason being that I have bought several CEs up to this point but have never bought an SE. Somewhere in the back of my mind was this idea that there might eventually be a Collector's Edition sale. So, I'm making out like a bandit.

I'm sorry, Sherlock, that there's nothing worthwhile for you during this sale.

Marian, I think you meant the opposite but I am glad you are having a great time with the sale. It's a great deal!

Ana

Maybe I didn't word that very well. What I was trying to say is that: a) I have bought some CEs in the past, but b) I never bought an SE game instead of the CE; I simply didn't purchase that particular game at all. So now, I am able to pick up those games as the CE version while paying an SE price. My neuroses have paid off handsomely.

Rereading what I wrote above, I can see why you were confused, Ana. I've been having so much fun that possibly I am a bit incoherent at the moment.

I understood it that time! Have fun!

Ana

I'm trying to quickly see which CEs I'd like to get before we lose power(may not come back for days if we do). Any suggestions as to the best ones.

If by best ones you mean the ones with longer bonus play, off the top of my head I would mention Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles and Dracula: Love Kills. I also thought Shiver: Vanishing Hitchhiker had a good bonus section and contributed well to the main story. Timeless: The Forgotten Town also has a bonus section that really adds to the main game. The Agency of Anomalies has a bonus section that is very lengthy.

Maybe some other people can add their opinions on this, too.

Thank you, Marian. Unfortunately, I have all those CEs and they are all great!!! I just noticed I still had the trials for Nightmare Realm, Paranormal Crime Investigation: Brotherhood of Crescent Snake and Redemption Cemetery: Childrens Plight. Any thoughts?

Of those three, I've only played Nightmare Realm (although I did buy the CE of Paranormal Crime Investigation today using the CE coupon code). Redemption Cemetery: Children's Plight doesn't qualify for the sale due to the fact that it was released this month.

The bonus content was pretty darn good for Nightmare Realm and added quite a bit to the game.

(Good to see that you still have your electricity!!)

I know I'm just being cranky because I realize this is a great sale. But I just wanted to be able to use some of the credits I have built up and they won't let me. Grumble, grumble, grumble.....

Marian, I'm at least going to get those two.

How insane am I to be trying to snatch CEs with this fantastic sale before Irene shuts down our power with her wrath?

Thanks again for your help.

I bought Curse of the Nightingale CE on Friday -- the day before the sale. Too bad I didn't know to wait. I could have gotten it for half of what I paid. So you're not the only one who's feeling cranky.

Smitty, have fun stocking up on games! It's a great sale. Be safe!

Thanks, Ana! I'm trying to find a few great ones. It's hard since I already have most of them. I decided to skip Paranormal Crime Investigations and go for Unsolved Mystery Club: Ancient Astronauts CE. I'm checking for one more.

OK, it's Confession Time! Confession Number One: I have never ever bought a CE! So the weekend sale is a Red Letter Day for me!

Confess Number Two: I have bought EIGHT!!

Macabre Mysteries: Curse of the Nightingale
Dracula: Love Kills
Timeless: The Forgotten Town
Unsolved Mystery Club ®: Ancient Astronauts
Grim Facade: Mystery of Venice
The Missing: A Search and Rescue Mystery
Haunted Legends: The Queen of Spades
Mystery Trackers: Raincliff

I hope my Bank Manager is not reading this thread!!

Boobie, Those are excellent! I have them all and loved every one.
Way to go!
~Carol

What a great selection of games, Boobie. Have fun!!

I have Timeless: The Forgotten Town SE. Can I upgrade it to the CE without paying the additional $6.99? Thanks.

Springchicken,
If you go to Big Fish's site, they have a webpage on Collector's Editions that tells how to upgrade from Standard to Collector's Edition. Check ***here*** under the heading "I purchased the standard version game. Can I upgrade to the Collector's Edition..."
What they say is:

Springchicken, here is what the mod posted on the Big Fish forums about this:



Big Fish is handling upgrades differently only in regard to this CE sale.

Hi Jenny100,
Thank you for the detailed answer. I'm going to do just that.

Oops...I'm glad I checked the thread again to see the Marian's post. It's changed my mind. Thanks, Marian.

I'm still trying to decide what to get.

Ugh!

I just got the latest Treasure Seeker and the Unsolved Mysteries CE. Great sale

Enjoy the games, ramona. I picked up one of the Treasure Seekers CEs too. Unsolved Mysteries CE was very entertaining; I think you'll like it.

Well, I have no one to blame but myself for the fact that I've played every game on the list - mostly in standard editions. But glad that others will have a chance to try some great CE's for such a good price.
