Yeah you can, it's listed 50% off just like the collection.

Seriously? Super cool.. Let me check..

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Are the $5 indie packs all sale long or just today? I'm assuming only the "today's deals" last for today and the rest last the length of the sale?

 

[DKo5]

Stranger's Wrath!??!?! ON PC??? WHAT??!?!

Bought.

Super Meat Boy for $3.75? Why, don't mind if I do!

Thanks Gaben!

 

[Vanillalite]

Always wait for the last day after all the daily deals are done.

This man is smart! Heed his words!

 

[Thermite]

I've bought Super Meat Boy, the Valve Pack (mainly for Half-Life, its two expansions, Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat Source), Bad Company 2, Torchlight and the Lucas Arts Jedi Knight Bundle and it's only the first freaking day! :lol <3 Steam

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Oddworld, especially Strangers Wrath seems really cool, though I know nothing of the series...

 

[Visualante]

Fallout 3 is only 33% off? Garbage deal.

Ungrateful gamer posting here. That is a really good deal.

I got it for 9 pounds on Zavvi.. that price is still way too expensive.

Gee so you paid a few quid less for one of the biggest games of the generation. This game doesn't go on sale often, maybe two or three times since it came out. Buy now or you will regret it.

 

[Lyonaz]

What is the last day of the sale?

The day your wallet cries and you realize you're broke!

Spoiler

Jan 2

 

[firehawk12]

That gives me more incentive to buy the pack this year because I'm not paying for anything that uses numbers as letters.

But it's l33t!

 

[Leonsito]

DO NOT BUY GAMES OUTSIDE DEALS OF THE DAY UNTIL THE LAST DAY

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Stranger's Wrath!??!?! ON PC??? WHAT??!?!

Bought.

They're even gonna update the quality of the assets once the PS3 version is complete.

 

[TimmiT]

I promised myself not to buy any games because I'm saving money for a new PC.
That promise is now broken.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Super Meat Boy

Man... that's tempting

I have to scrape around for some money

DO NOT BUY GAMES OUTSIDE DEALS OF THE DAY UNTIL THE LAST DAY

Why?

 

[ultron87]

There is no preferences area under Steam settings

Hmm, apparently it is actually more complicated than I thought:

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7418-YUBN-8129

Looks like you'd have to move all your Steam files to the new hard drive.

 

[Firebrand]

Seems Civ5 is back at full price, guess the 33% was a mistake.

 

[K.Jack]

A meager $.49 or not, I'm requesting a refund for Shattered Union.

Such a buzzkill at the beginning of an exciting day.

 

[Femmeworth]

I'm totally jumping on the F.E.A.R. pack. :O I'm so glad that I waited.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I bought Fallout 3 last year on that Independence Day sale, and now I can't ever play Point Lookout and Broken Steel. :lol

 

[ChaChaChaChia]

checked out and it then told me my credit card was declined, which it definately shouldnt be. then when i tried it again it said i already own the games. poor steam probably can't keep up with all those people wanting to give it their money

 

[aasoncott]

Thanks guys, sold

Man, if The Longest Journey + Dreamfall ends up a Daily Deal, I will double-dip so hard.

Did this package exist before the sale? I don't recall having seen it before.

 

[TheFatOne]

Spent $17 so far. It's a good thing that I saved for this sale. I have about $200 I can spend.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Why?

Let's say you see Super Skull Crusher 2 for $9.99 and you're like "sweet deal" and you buy it... and then tomorrow it's the daily deal for $4.99. That's why. This is going to happen for about 100 games during this sale.

 

[itxaka]

BF:BC2, Deus ex collection (wanted the second one, but it's cheaper to buy the pack) and Titan quest gold.

18€


I even feel bad for paying so little.


Here is hoping for an AC 1&2 pack for 20€ one of this days

 

[forknknife]

I see Lara Croft The Guardian Light is on sale but doesn't appear as a Today's Sale. Does that mean that it could go even cheaper?

 

[Xamdou]

Oh man that sucks.... sigh.

 

[APZonerunner]

Is there a way to buy a game as a gift and hold it back to a specific date? I want to Gift Meat Boy to a friend, but on Christmas Day.

 

[YuriLowell]

26.23 down in the first day.

Fuck.

 

[Hellsing321]

Why?

Because after you buy it will be even cheaper when it goes on sale as a daily deal and we'll have to listen to your bitching about it.

 

[Karram]

Battlefield Bad Company 2 Standard Edition - 10.19 USD
FEAR Complete Pack (ROW) -9.99 USD
Braid - 4.99 USD
Trine - 4.99 USD
OddBoxx - 12.49 USD

Total
42.65 USD

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Why?

There is a fairly good chance non-dailies will become one down the road. Meanwhile non-dailies won't change in price until the entire thing is over.

edit: beaten

 

[carbonbased]

it's the mooost wonderful time of the yeaaaaar

can't wait to finally play super meat boy!

 

[nexen]

Steam sales always lower my collection's average metacritic score.

 

[tahrikmili]

They're even gonna update the quality of the assets once the PS3 version is complete.

Seriously? Can you give a link to this news?.. If so I'll buy and wait to play..

 

[DJ_Lae]

Is there a way to buy a game as a gift and hold it back to a specific date? I want to Gift Meat Boy to a friend, but on Christmas Day.

You could gift it to an e-mail address of your own, then just forward that e-mail to them on Christmas.

[vazel]

Oh man that sucks.... sigh.

google 'steam mklink'

 

[TheLegendary]

The Tomb Raider Guardian of Light is 50% off as part of the Square Enix Eidos Pack (but you can buy it separately).

Is that technically not a daily deal? Do I wait ?

I see Lara Croft The Guardian Light is on sale but doesn't appear as a Today's Sale. Does that mean that it could go even cheaper?

Same question.

 

[Nakazato]

Bc2,SMB,Deus ex 13.53 bot bad might pick up some things later

 

[kamorra]

DO NOT BUY GAMES OUTSIDE DEALS OF THE DAY UNTIL THE LAST DAY

umm... so should I buy Civilization IV: The Complete Edition for 6,24€ or wait?

 

[Femmeworth]

Let's say you see Super Skull Crusher 2 for $9.99 and you're like "sweet deal" and you buy it... and then tomorrow it's the daily deal for $4.99. That's why. This is going to happen for about 100 games during this sale.

Fuck it. $10 for the F.E.A.R. complete pack is good enough for me. I'm part of the problem. ;_; Curse you, Steam!

 

[Gareth Bale]

Why is Civ IV: Warlords 2120mb when Civ IV is only 1533mb? I'm running low on space. I didn't expect the expansion to be more than the game.

 

[TheFatOne]

I want to buy NBA 2k11, but I'm afraid of buying games that aren't daily deals

 

[Ikuu]

Picked up Bad Company 2, had it from the EA Store, but I'm sick of having to download it whenever I reinstall Windows.

 

[Leatherface]

This man speaks sense, he speaks.

Wait. The Daily deals are only whats on the first page of the sale catalog.

 

[nexen]

Fuck it. $10 for the F.E.A.R. complete pack is good enough for me.

FEAR is a daily deal. You are safe.

 

[Eel O'Brian]

Fuck it. $10 for the F.E.A.R. complete pack is good enough for me.

It's a daily deal, it'll be gone tomorrow.

Why did you buy Braid on Steam when you could have bought it on the Humble Bundle for whatever amount of money for charity along with other 4 games, AND register it on Steam?

 

[SolarPowered]

Someone mentioned that the hearts of iron games are great if you want to learn about the history of Europe(in the context of war) and they're on deal right now.

Should I bite?

 

[evlcookie]

Oh prince of persia forgotten sands uses UBIs DRM. No sale.

Guess it's just oddbox and super meat boy for me today then.
