Generally if a game is on sale at Steam/GameFly/GamersGate most likely Amazon will pricematch the deal.
This game uses Steamworks so you’ll have to activate it on Steam no matter where you buy it from. There’s a Steam Free Weekend going on for Payday so you can try it out for free on Steam until Sunday before you buy.
