"Direct 2Drive, is the only site I use to download games.
The service is great.It makes it so easy to collect games. If there are any problems, they get resolved right away.I once downloaded a game and it just didn't work with my system and I got a refund instantly.
The catalog of games is fantastic. I found games that I thought would never see for downloading.The prices are very fair. But the best thing was when my computer died, I had to replace it, and I was able to retrieve all my games back with Comrade.
This is a great site and I am looking forward to getting
more games with Direct2Drive"
"Best way to buy PC games, Its the only way I buy my video games, I dont have all the game disks to put up with. the service is excellent along with the customer service. Both are very fast."
"I've bought over 15 games from Direct2drive. Prices are the best ...especially if you wait for sales. Downloads are fast...I've had no problems. "
"First of all, I prefer D2D games bc they don't use client program to run. D/L speed is very good. I'm long time IGN founders club member and I surprised new saving program. And I impressed D2D's customer support. My last order was my mistake but D2D gave me a chance to make it right.
But.. D2D needs to improve on additional info to game title pages. For Example, King's Bounty: The Legend has 1.7 patch and other d2d page has it but product(platinum pack) page says nothing(King's Bounty: The Legend product page have it though). I found that patch from KB official website first and then returned d2d. I tried to search patch file with "king's bounty" keyword and results says there's only armored pricess' patch. I tried "1.7" and found it. There was typo.
I guess d2d need more improvement, but still satisfied."
"My first time ordering from Direct2Drive went very smoothly. That had a deal of a upcoming game for 15$ off of what was originally 49.95$. Digital downloading the game went fast without problems.
Their costumer Support was the best, fast response, and if you have any concern or questions they will answer it.
The game i order was set to launch 1/11/11, Servers open at 7AM but they wouldn't release "Activation Key" till 7AM, due to what they were told. But after i told them that another site already release their Keys already. I gave them proof, and what do you know! They release their key before the time they set!"
"Direct2Drive has been great to deal with. I am a new customer and pre-ordered a game before it came out. I promptly received my CD-Key and did not have to wait any period of time after the game was released in order to play.
Great prices too!"
"i like the good sevice add direct2drive i get a good anwser 1-3 hours after and that is realy nice. love the good offers also it is nice to see all the good games so cheap and still get some extra stuff."
"The site was very easy to navigate through, efficient and it looked really nice. I would defiantly recommend to others. They got my order correct the first time."
"Very helpful. So far I've submitted two questions and both were answered within minutes and were fully helpful. The first was an inquiry about a game's third party client that was needed for installation and the second was the low price match guarantee (which was awarded in full)."
"I have abused our friendship, and ranted at D2D for game installation/play issues that were almost entirely my fault. But I keep buying games from them because the games come ready to play, usually. I'd like to see more value games, but I'm a cheapskate. All in all, I'm happy with my purchases. "
"Very easy to use. Wish there was a way to chat with tech support through IM or in real time like by phone. Overall Great! "
"Have bought alot of games at D2D and never had any problems.Very fast download speed."
"Actually D2D was my savior,I couldn`t find the game i was looking for in any online shop but D2D which in turn "the game" entitled me to upgrade it to the recent version,so thanks to god then D2D that saved my day ;)Oh the game i was looking for was "Lock on: Flaming Cliffs 2" :)"
"Bought a used PS3 game on sale. Great price. Quick shipping. Excellent condition for a used game."
"Direct 2 Drive has been having stiff competition with Steam. The good thing about this battle of the downloadable services is that it has really made computer gaming come back to the forefront of my purchasing power. Each service has amazing deals on all the time. And to think a couple years ago it was being said that computer gaming was a dying breed.
Steam has low prices and interesting sales ideas but I have to say that it's Direct2Drive that has impressed me the most lately. They have sales on a regular basis but lately they have so many going on at once and they stack! I've never seen a company with so few exclusions and fine print in their specials. For example, they have an across the board 1 in 5 chance you'll win any purchase, plus they regularly puts games on sale, plus they now have 20% off any game coupons such as this weekend, even preorders!
Direct2Drive often has games for preorder long before Steam does as well. Take Dragon Age 2 for example. This has been in Direct2Drive for many months and there's no sign of it on Steam.
I had a situation were I had purchased something moments before they released a coupon for it. I asked if they wouldn't mind adding it retroactively and the customer service was so excellent they agreed to give me a credit towards my next game in excess of the actual coupon amount. I don't think Steam has anything that can top that.
The only thing that I'd say Direct2Drive needs to work on is their Comrade downloadable service. The patching is not as behind the scenes and slick as Steam's. It actually downloads the game/patch and requires you to click through the installation paths each time. Steam's just does it once and patches automatically with no further prompts. But that's a small complaint for an otherwise top notch company."
