^^ I think it was a calculation error. It was adding up the DISCOUNTED prices of the valve games, and then discounting that, instead of adding up the RETAIL prices and applying the discount.

I hear a lot of mentions about people spending like crazy during these deals, which I can understand, but it's quite remarkable that you can spend something like $10 and still come out with 3 or 4 solid games.

This is all new to me, so it's pretty cool.

I just can't wait until I have my PC so I can actually play these games, my shit won't even run The Misadventures.

Yeah it's pretty incredible. Including gifting I spent $228 last year and walked away with about 79 games. I have since played 14 of them.

 

[AshMcCool]

The Oddbox is very tempting, too. But I bet that won't be the last time it's 50% off, and I don't have time anyway, so..... but still.

But everyone who doesn't buy Super Meat Boy is NUTS. Also: The Bad Company 2 US price rocks. Just a pity I'm from europe ;(

 

[Instro]

They still havent fixed the price on the PoP pack? Lame.

 

[dangrib]

is ME2 $14.99 on the US store? can anyone gift me if so?

 

[Dwayne]

Can someone tell me how much the Rockstar collection is? Not available here.

 

[Diebuster]

When are the contest winners announced? Want to grab a few things, but I can wait a couple hours.

 

[FromTheFuture]

Is anyone else having a problem trying to purchase stuff? I'm trying to buy BFBC2 and Super Meat Boy, but every time I press the purchase button, I just get the error:

"Your purchase has not been completed. The payment processor has reported an authorization failure."

 

[Natty1]

Looking for a someone from the US to gift Battlefield Bad Company 2 so I can give them the money over paypal.
I'm in the UK so if there's anything cheaper over here we could trade if you like.

For example Fear Complete Pack is equivalent of around $8.90 here.

 

[clav]

Uh someone by the name of NaXXuS wants to be my friend?

Is this someone from GAF?

Update: Doesn't look like from GAF as he's not in the GAF group. Denied.

MASS EFFECT 2! MASS EFFECT 2! MASS EFFECT 2!

CMON MASS EFFECT 2!! WOO!

 

[Starwolf_UK]

It's an insane holiday sale. Do you bitch about Best Buy when you go in on Black Friday and have to wait really long to get the the registers to check out?

Then explain why it works perfectly through the client but breaks down an dies via a web browser. The account creation itself being the worst (anything I typed even stuff like doesthisstupidthingactuallywork2156 was "taken" according to the website).

To use the Best Buy analog, going via one entrance there was no queue and everything works smooth and the other entrance, the till catches fire after it takes 5 minutes for no reason and you had to steal the keys from the other entrance to get in.

I might have gotten lucky but it seems like selective luck at best. /rantover

Spoiler

I was just frustrated, I've let it all out now, I'm good

 

[stuminus3]

Oh shit I just remembered I can view the entire Steam catalog and sort it by price. Now I can see all those random little bargains that are getting lost in the mix.

That was a mistake. :lol

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

So is Tomb Raider Underworld worth getting? I heard it was like half a game, but I dunno if the DLC fleshes it out or if it's even in the PC version...

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Wow, Santander suck balls. Long story short, they always block purchases on any site if I have 4 items in my basket at once. Tried buying all the PoPs, card got declined - but in reality, the payment still went through. Thankfully when I re-tried, Steam was kind enough to let me know that I had in fact already bought them, and that they were waiting in my library like porn awaits behind my toilet cistern.

Thank you Based Gabe.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

So far, in for:

Oddboxx
Indie 2D Pack
PB Winterbottom
Caster
Blueberry Garden
Magnetis

and also gifted Super Meat Boy and PB Winterbottom to my son.

Really tempted to snag the FEAR Complete pack and Bad Company 2, but holding off for now.

 

[Stallion Free]

So is Tomb Raider Underworld worth getting? I heard it was like half a game, but I dunno if the DLC fleshes it out or if it's even in the PC version...

It is a complete game and the DLC not on the PC just added to the ending, but is in no way necessary to enjoy the game.

 

[dangrib]

MASS EFFECT 2! MASS EFFECT 2! MASS EFFECT 2!

CMON MASS EFFECT 2!! WOO!

how much?

 

[Ceebs]

No DLC for the PC version, but I thought the game was awesome. Quite a looker too if you can run it with loads of AA.

 

[Corto]

Indie 2D Pack
Indie Flight Pack
Super Meat Boy

I've gone all indie , and I'm done for today. :lol

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

OP updated with daily deals.

 

[Mairu]

About to check out... cart currently includes:
PB Winterbottom
Prince of Persia (2008)
Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands Deluxe
HL2 Ep1
HL2 Ep2
Super Meat Boy
Oddboxx

 

[SolarPowered]

I see that there are three different sections for the games and packs. Is there are time limit for each of the different sections?

How long will the pack in the green section last? I don't want to fuck up and lose the deals.

 

[LCfiner]

So is Tomb Raider Underworld worth getting? I heard it was like half a game, but I dunno if the DLC fleshes it out or if it's even in the PC version...

I played and enjoyed the hell out of Underworld on 360. I felt no need for DLC after I was done.

of course, I hadn’t played a TR game in years so I didn’t feel burnt out by the puzzles and traversal.

 

[kai3345]

ME2 said $14.99 then i went into it and its back to $29.99??? Im in the AU store btw.
Is it the same on the US store? Also BC2 went back up for me. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

U sure u weren't looking at the digital deluxe edition

 

[Flunkie]

For the first time, a Steam sale is confusing to me. Are the individual Indie packs going to change every day, orrr..?

 

[Darkgran]

I REALLY hope Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum goes on sale.

Please.

 

[W1SSY]

Steam on my mac has been horrible today. Been gifting games and it keeps stopping at the final page and doesn't proceed but it seems like people have been getting the games.

Haven't bought anything for myself yet but nothing really interests me for the Mac.

 

[Lime]

So is Tomb Raider Underworld worth getting? I heard it was like half a game, but I dunno if the DLC fleshes it out or if it's even in the PC version...

It's a very entertaining game. Better than Legend, but not as good as Anniversary. If you have a nice PC the architecture and textures will look amazing. It's definitely worth it, but I would wait for that last day, in case it pops up as a daily deal.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I just can't wait until I have my PC so I can actually play these games, my shit won't even run The Misadventures.

If you bought all the indie pack deals at $4.99 apiece, you'd have 55 games for $55, $1 apiece, less actually.

That's pretty crazy in my mind. And let me tell you, crazy is in my mind.

 

[denomes]

For the first time, a Steam sale is confusing to me. Are the individual Indie packs going to change every day, orrr..?

Yeah, this is the only part of the sale I'm not really clear on. Everything else is presented very logically.

 

[nexen]

C'mon mass effect 2 !

It is already $15

 

[Gaogaogao]

It is already $15

but can it get cheaper?

 

[kai3345]

but can it get cheaper?

Yeah.

 

[snack]

OP updated with daily deals.

Many thanks, LovingSteam!

 

[nexen]

but can it get cheaper?

Yes, of course, stupid me.

Almost unrelated but I didn't want to double post SW:TFU 2 is back up to $40, so the $20 I bought it at was a pricing mistake. KNEW IT. WOOT.

 

[SolarPowered]

OP updated with daily deals.

Just check it myself and I feel much better now.

Many thanks

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Just played about 30 minutes of Super Meat Boy.

If you don't buy this game then

Spoiler

cue hastily made jpeg

 

[Dwight Schrute]

It is already $15

Wich store ?

I remember getting the first one for like 4 bucks in the EA week last year. Maybe I'll way for a daily deal.

 

[dani_dc]

How are the games in the Future Indie Pack? Specifically:

• Twin Sector
• Hacker Evolution
• Hammerfight
• Uplink
• System Protocol One

Hacker Evolution sounds sweet if it strokes my cyberpunk penis.

I'm very curious about this as well, I haven't really heard anything about any of this games so any kind of feedback would be appreciated.

 

[Joe Molotov]

but can it get cheaper?

.49 for Winterbottom proves anything can get cheaper.

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Do any of the Prince of Persia games support the 360 controller?

 

[dangrib]

U sure u weren't looking at the digital deluxe edition

nope normal version is $29.99 on the AU store.
if anyone could gift me ME2 and BC2 from the US store i can paypal instantly

 

[Luigi87]

I just had a thought, it would really, really suck if someone bought a few hundred dollars worth of Dev. Bundles today, and tomorrow they won the 100 Game Grand Prize from the treasure hunt.

 

[MikeE21286]

well this is starting off badly :lol

Super Meat Boy
BFBC2 (also grabbed Vietnam)
Oddboxx
PoP Forgotten Sands
P.B. Winterbottom
Deus Ex Complete

Total damage :$30.xx (not including Vietnam)

probably gonna get the Bethesda Pack at the end of the sale too

Spoiler

I have absolutely no control

 

[Mairu]

Gonna wait a little bit and see if they fix the price on the PoP pack before buying them. Otherwise I'll probably just get PoP 2008, Sands of Time, and Forgotten Sands

edit: I got Deus Ex through the GFWLM deal earlier for a dollar or whatever, is it worth getting the Deux Ex Pack for $3 to get Invisible War? I have yet to play Deus Ex and I know Invisible War wasn't received all that well, but for $3...

 

[Ashour]

Looks like only Super Meat Boy for me today.

 

[Firehead]

So far...
Prince of Persia (Two Thrones;Sands of Time; Warrior Within; Cel-Shaded), FEAR complete, Magnetis, Indie (Future; Fantasy; Fright), Titan Quest Gold, one gift of BC2 and OddBoxx

Yeah... this'll be a fun week.

 

[Leatherface]

how much?

Not up yet (waiting for daily deal), but i want it bad! $5 or bust!

 

[forknknife]

Just gotta say that after playing for 3 hours straight with VVVVVVV and Super Meat Boy I think they are ammmmmmaaaaaaaazing! Totally worth the money. It's a steal, actually.

Only thing is I hate the xbox pad, I need a new one as soon as possible, better if it's a 6 button one so I can use it for SFIV too. Can anyone recommend one that is under 50 euros, please?

 

[VibratingDonkey]

Think I'm done for the day.

Freedom Force vs. The 3rd Reich
Super Meat Boy
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
