Gamestop's digital download service seems ridiculously restrictive, for 9.99 you get to download the game once, and you are not allowed to redownload it in case you have a computer failure? No thanks.

At checkout, for $3.95, they offer you the following:
"Download Insurance is a service that provides for a back up copy of the Digital Good(s) in your shopping cart to be stored for future download. A back up copy of these Digital Good(s) will be available to you for download for up to eighteen (18) months from the date of purchase.

Now there's no need to worry should your computer fail. Just login to your account to download the Digital Good(s) again."

Seems like they allow you to reinstall the software you own, as long as it is within their timeframe and you pay extra for the right to do so. I'd rather have a CD. This is a great price for a great game, but at a cost.

Save $30 and have to make my own backup of the game? Ya, I'll take that deal. It's called an external hard drive, blank DVD, or flash drive.

Is that the case, that you are downloading a freestanding installer that could be copied onto a cd or dvd or otherwise backed up? I was going off the info on the site which lead me to believe the only way to reinstall was over the web.

Is anyone else having a problem with the checkout process? it says: "There has been an error processing your credit card! Please check your credit card details!" But the credit information is correct.

eds905- I was able to checkout fine about an hour ago.

inmyoffice- I decided to go for it, for $10 it's a great deal, and I also want to see how this direct download service works. Thanks for the info.

Ah, I originally posted on a duplicate of this deal. I'll post here again to see if anyone knows for sure:

Any ideas on when this deal expires? I didn't see a date on their site and don't want to run and grab it if it'll be available for quite a while...

I'd rather just spend an extra $10 and get it on Steam personally...

@jfade: Doesn't really look like a sale, it's listed as a "price drop". I wouldn't be surprised if they leave it at $10 via the download service indefinitely.

@darthninja: Good for you. You are free to pay any amount of money you choose. But some of us check these websites for the BEST prices.

inmyoffice- Have you tried to do a reinstall using backups of the original files that you downloaded with your initial purchase? I have already gotten my $9.99 worth out of the game since last week, but I did notice that the first time I ran the program it automatically went through an online verification process, which I assume involved doing something like checking a digital serial number for my downloaded app with their server. I'd imagine that if I had to reinstall due to getting a new system that it wouldn't work due to that number having been used, which makes sense because otherwise people could redistribute those installer files way too easily. Unfortunately I don't have any way (or reason, other than curiosity) to test this so I wanted to see if you or anyone else has had to do a reinstall.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
