In conjunction with the visibility of the titles, which have been pushed further down as time has gone on with XBLA.
Steam has the benefit of low low prices and a more acceptable market, also Steam is really nice for window shopping!

Oh also comparable titles on the same platform as the catalogue gets bigger!
WarZ did pretty well!
I see a situation happening where some kind of phoenix will rise from the ashes where (combined with Kickstarter or something similar) mid-tier pubs/devs will make a comeback. I think there will be a glut in the scene for a while where all we'll (essentially) have are CODs, FIFAs and a shitload of indie titles, but I think out of those indies will bear some mid-tier fruit.
Man, remember Snap And Bake (later "Snap To Bake") cookies? I'd always get mum to time them around 5 mins less than recommended so they were squishy.
Is this using a special voucher or something? The 25%, I mean. Or do I just login to PSN tonight and it's already discounted?
I assume it's part of that ".12 days of Christmas thing".
Who was the poster? I'd love to look up their name. I love that shit.
PS. Keep in mind, shit like WarZ gets on the Steam storefront no worries, while more deserving titles (hello Pinball Arcade, WRC3) have to go through the fucking Greenlight process. Load of shit.
So it's pretty much interface plus pricing?
I think flexible pricing is pretty important. That $10 indie game with some buzz you've been hearing becomes a much quicker impulse buy at $5 or $2.50.
Thanks everyone for providing feedback on Cider, I bought a few of the ones mentioned so my GF can try a few.

Don't sweat it man. If you really want something, you can still get it. I know it's a schools job to get the best out of its students, but there needs to be an organisation that sits down with the students and explains how this is not the end of the world.
It truly is. AusGaf, do you remember a few weeks ago I asked for girl advice? I was spending a lot of time with this girl and didn't want to be the rebound? Well now she's my girlfriend and I am truly punching above my weight.
On a creative level, absolutely. The freedom that bedroom coders on home computers had then was that you could make a great game with one or two or three people and there weren't any established genres. These days you the freedom that bedroom (well, more like coffee shop) coders on iOS have is that they can make a great game with one or two or three people and they have the freedom to ignore the boundaries of established genres.
On a business level, it's completely different. Even the bedroom coders had to submit their work to a publisher who might submit it to a distributor who might submit it to retailers who might sell it to customers. So you had lots of game developers being shut out. And even if you were an established 'indie', you had to deal with the massive cost of duplicating, packaging and distributing these games, which was way out of the reach of most people except for established businesses.
These days, you need a computer to make the game and then you use the same computer to sell it direct to the customer. I wouldn't have it any other way.
And I think, looking back, that my statement about the shortest distance proved true with this current gen. XBLA used to be the only way indies could sell direct to customers, and everyone thought XBLA was awesome for a while. Now Steam is the 'default' way of doing things, making XBLA look old and busted in comparison.

The Sierra Nevada purchases are particularly good choices. Considering a trip to Slow Beer over the weekend to spend way too much on specialty beer.
I think the problem is that most people expect so much more from their "indie" games. Sometimes you'll be able to get away with stuff with truly basic graphics, sound, etc, but most "small" and "indie" games (looking at stuff like Trine, Journey, Frozen Synapse) have dozens of people on their credits, so IMO it's harder to produce something that a large portion of the user base wants to play.
But that's partly because the user base is so much bigger, and also because they've been coddled by pretty AAA games.
Why does everyone keep reminding me that they have P4G and I don't, agh! That's it. I need to buy it today. Any good deals around?
Yeah, I'm just going to apply for this Newstep program that they have at my university, and using the marks I get from that, apply for whatever course I want. It's basically the HSC all over again, but it's probably going to be a lot more useful, and less stressful. Also, congrats on the girlfriend!

Still waiting on my copy from Play-Asia.. Shipped the 20th November :teary:
How much are they charging for that on PSN? Still need to knock of MGS3 but wanting to shift over to that over the break.

iOS and Android but I get your point. Steam is not open to anyone unlike the mobile app stores.
You release a game on mobile, you do your PR when the game is released. On steam, you need to start your PR work just to get through greenlight.

Yeah, you're right. I should have used iOS / Android in my example. One day left of work and my brain is fizzled.
And yep, the theory of 'what works' on Steam is changing and it's more about who has lunch with who in San Fransisco as time wears on. You watch this happen to Kickstarter in two years. It's just the way of the world.
Excellent! Glad to be of assistance.Thanks everyone for providing feedback on Cider, I bought a few of the ones mentioned so my GF can try a few.

Why won't this week just end.
Don't let me down Mayans.

I don't see any Aspall Suffolk Draft like I suggested. You should feel ashamed of yourself. Disgusting!
Well hopefully it actually leads to more creativity in general. I'm looking back over the past year for the GOTY voting and I cant think of anything I feel justified voting for. Unless ports count.
$19.95 for the Vita version, but it has a 25% discount for PSN+ at the moment.
I made the mistake of playing MGS3 and Oddworld Stranger back to back in 2005. It took 2 years for any other game to compare to them, they were both incredible. (That game was Mario Galaxy).

When is it meant to end for us? I thought it was last night. :/
Thanks, Billy. You rock.
On that note, I need to find something that will monitor the Idle Thumbs website from home, auto download the cast and send it to my Dropbox so I can put it into iTunes at work.
PS. Did anyone want to clarify what the go was with cheap PSN? Do I just buy it on there or is there a deal somewhere online I have to go through?

Use the Dropbox app on your PC and set an RSS/Podcatcher to download to the specific Dropbox folder. Done.

Where exactly? I know suburbs like St. Albans, Sunshine etc are dodgy but the ones on the way to Geelong are better, no?

This is what happens when you Holy.

As someone who owns a fez it pains me to see him ask the same question 3 times.

As someone who did their shopping in Corio and felt safe I will say that I refuse to drive into Werribee, even if Missy Higgins was naked waiting for me.

I don't think you can buy PS+ at retail stores which means that there are only 3 places you can buy subscriptions from... and they all access the same place :IThis is what happens when you Holy.

Is Mark of the Ninja worth 600 allards?
Also Fez! Phil Fish bad. Renaud Bédard good. Glitches and bugs bad. Music good. I think it is worth giving it a shot at 400 allards.
Also Trine 2! The game that is actually slightly better on WiiU than everywhere else! The shining light of multiplatform games for Nintendo fans! 400 allards on XBLA!
Also interesting that Mark of the Ninja is the first game I have seen any position for during this sale, sitting on 'browse games' -> 'arcade' -> biggest tile.
Not shocked that the sale takes up no fucking part of the homepage on the console. Even scrolling to the 'games' tab doesn't give me shit. Shows how much MS give a fuck.
You are entitled to an opinion. Even if I completely disagree with it. You are from QLD after all.

You can buy prepaid cards from EB (and maybe others) for $80.

Adventure bundle for Yag! DRM free!
Telltale games are really cheap too, $4-$7. No Walking Dead though.
BeatTheBomb has Doom 3 BFG edition for $26 posted on 360/PS3

Tekken tag is now $30 at ozgameshop, so tempting. Anyone here play on 360?
I thought tomorrow. I don't mind being surprised.
One of my favourite games of the year, I thought it was great value when I paid 1200.

The other bolded stuff sounds awesome though! I can understand why it is 400 allards now.
