[evil solrac v3.0]

I have no money left after the last couple weeks of buying gifts for friends and family.

Noooooooooooo.

it's obvious they aren't your true friends if they made you spend money when they knew you had to spend on the steam holiday sale.

 

[Nelo Ice]

gah guess i'll give in like everyone else and get meat boy now even despite the impending potato pack =( :lol

 

[Mihos]

As a side note... if you get a message from Steam saying your bank declined your purchase... don't try and repurchase. It may have went through.

I think they are just lagged out right now. (good thing I actually checked my account or I would have 2 Paradox collections!)

 

[SolarPowered]

I guess I'll be missing out on Half life again. Also, some of the indie game packs have not been selectable since the start of the deals. Why does that happen?

You gotta prioritize your money dawg.

:lol

 

[Lumine]

Looking for a US person to gift me Battlefield BC2. I can paypal you the money or gift something of equal value, whichever you prefer.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
PB Winterbottom

$5.50 so far on first day.

What are the chances of the regular Bethesda pack being a daily deal >.>

The packs have typically stayed at the same price for the duration of sales in the past. I don't recall seeing it go lower for a limited time.

'cept for that Valve pack that is. Brutal for those who wanted it but hesitated :lol

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Can you imagine if Activison Blizzard ever got their act together and sold via Steam Battle.net is so expensive for digital distrubition.

 

[kai3345]

I'm more in it to actually win something and feel like a winner.

<<< Winner.

 

[Shito]

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

Fucking steam. Bought Battlefield and Meat Boy, waiting to buy fallout since the Bethesda pack is a ton better of a deal for me, even though I own the Elderscrolls games on Steam (minus the first two, of course )

[OmegaDragon]

Nice, I wanted to buy Super Meat Boy for the holidays. I'll get it tomorrow along with Fear, when the servers should be a lot less busy.

OK, maybe I'll just buy one game... Toki Tori or Half-Life 2: Episode 2? Toki Tori is really cheap but I really want Half-Life 2: Episode 2...

Ep2 is only 50% off, I think it will be discounted even more another day. Toki Tori probably won't get any cheaper and if it does, you'll only lose a few cents.

Btw, I'm really wondering how much this pack will be. If it is 20$/euros, it's an amazing deal

• Potato Pack
• Amnesia
• Bit Trip
• Toki Tori
• Red Orchestra
• Killing Floor
• Darkest Hour
• Audio Surf
• Wonderful End of the world
• Defense Grid
• AAAAA
• The Ball
• Cogs
• Braid
• Super Meat Boy

 

[luxarific]

If I get the "your credit card was declined" message when I try to buy something, but the game shows up in my library and I get a receipt in my e-mail inbox, do I need to rebuy?

 

[Jin34]

Cmon Assasin's Creed 2 daily deal.

 

[Basileus777]

Thank god I got in on that Valve Complete Pack before they fixed the price.

So you can't get extra copies of non-Half-life Orange Box games?

 

[kai3345]

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Managed to get the Valve complete pack for £15, bought it for my little brother.

 

[The Technomancer]

LovingSteam I'm pretty sure you could put today's daily deals into the OP now, unless you were only going to add them into the list the day after.

 

[seady]

Never played a Deus Ex game, should I even bother? To prepare for the upcoming game??

 

[Lasthope106]

Everybody, do yourselves a favor and try this out. Open up both of the following links at the exact same time.

Manly tears were shed. ;_;

 

[Snuggles]

Hey man... I want one

edit: FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

PM me your email so I can hook you up, brutha

I can send out one more copy of PB Winterbottom to whoever wants it

 

[Diablohead]

The heavy hitters pack is amazing, you get shattered horizon and zeno clash, the maw and a shit load of other games for £14, daaaaaamn

 

[ZZMitch]

Bad Company 2 and Super Meat Boy here!

Are the cheap games like winterbottom and Toki Tori just part of packs or something?

 

[gregor7777]

That Valve pack was a hell of a deal. I mean, value wise it's still amazing and one of the better deals going, but for $25? :lol

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

LovingSteam I'm pretty sure you could put today's daily deals into the OP now, unless you were only going to add them into the list the day after.

Im on my phone right now but will update the OP in an hour when I get home.

 

[Carm]

I enjoyed Prince of Persia The Sands of Time a lot. Is The Forgotten Sand, shitty drm included, worth it? What about the cell shaded Prince of Persia? I bought Splinter Cell Conviction for a buck and after finishing it felt ripped off, don't want that feeling again with a ubisoft game.

 

[MoFuzz]

Nice, I wanted to buy Super Meat Boy for the holidays. I'll get it tomorrow along with Fear, when the servers should be a lot less busy.

Daily deals finish up at 10AM PST, FYI.

 

[Yasae]

If I get the "your credit card was declined" message when I try to buy something, but the game shows up in my library and I get a receipt in my e-mail inbox, do I need to rebuy?

I'd wait it out and see, don't rebuy by default. Steam was failing to load my cart, signing me out randomly and all sorts of crazy shit.

Receipts overrule this anyway.

 

[VGChampion]

Not sure if I should pick up Bad Company 2. I have it on the PS3 but I'm not sure how it would run on my iMac. Hmmm....

 

[_Bro]

Never played a Deus Ex game, should I even bother? To prepare for the upcoming game??

It's definitely a game to play, whether or not a sequel is coming. Once -- if -- you can get past the melee hit detection then prepare for a great game. Just play it with no worries, don't worry about getting the "good" or "bad" ending. Endings just hold you back from being awesome.

 

[Dug]

Thanks for reminding me about how good of a deal it was.

 

[kennah]

Winterbottom get! Installing now!

 

[Vanillalite]

We should make a 2nd thread detailing how the sale actually works in terms of always on sale verses dailies and when you should actually pull the trigger.

Or just put that info in the OP?

WHO HAS TIME FOR OPS!

 

[atomsk]

I feel like I'm at a saturation point with games I would actually buy/play for cheap

Picked up Indie Fright Pack cause I wanted The Void and The Path

Otherwise I'm hoping for Dragon-Age Ultimate to be $20-25 (it was 25 at Impulse during thanksgiving)

And I'll probably pick up Amnesia at the end of the sale if it doesn't go daily deal

My wallet is (mostly) safe this year :lol

(and I'll be sure to quote this post if I somehow spend 100 bucks)

 

[snack]

Steam is so beast. I <3 it.

 

[MoFuzz]

I'm gonna say....$35 USD for the Potato pack.

WHO HAS TIME FOR OPS!

No shit, especially seeing as how so many people are asking why they should wait if a game isn't a daily deal....

 

[Vanillalite]

Or just put that info in the OP?

People tend to skip over shit in long OPs though, and I feel this is essential information that everyone needs to know!

 

[DSN2K]

I wonder how much money has gone simply from GAF alone!?! :lol

 

[kai3345]
