Hey, I want a place on every pack where each games comes out less than 2,49 but not 2,50*.
I called it, so I'm in, right?
*I may or may not be able to pay for these games the moment they come out. I might not even be around GAF at that time. I may get banned. Or die. I guess we could figure something out, you know, WHEN THEY COME OUT?

So SMB was on XBLA. Does the Steam version have controller support? It is not listed on the page.
My friend is trying to buy Super Meat Boy via PayPal on Steam but he gets an error:
**
Your purchase has not been completed.
The payment processor has reported an authorization failure. Please select a different payment method.

He sent a ticket to Steam Support regarding this issue but does anyone here know what's going on? He bought Day of Defeat: Source on November 11, 2010 so we're not too sure what the problem is.

So I'm really wanting to pick up Shank, Super Meat Boy, Death Spank and Poker at the Poop Party. But I'm kinda realising there might be a sale or two coming up. Should I not buy any of these right at this moment?
Thanks, internet.
Also, I kinda don't have the bandwidth to download any of these games at the moment, I just love buying stupid shit I don't need, even when I have like 50 unplayed games on my shelf looking at me.
Edit: lols bought SMB and Poker Thing

People, the ONLY things you should be buying right now if anything are games that are on the pre-purchase list. Those games will not be on sale. Every single game that has been released, DO. NOT. BUY. Wait for the sales.

kenta said:Do we know if SMB is eventually going to be released for Mac? I'd probably buy it during the sale if I knew I could eventually play it
Yes, it will be. And it will be Steamplay so you buy it once and you can play it on either PC or Mac. They're looking at a January release I believe.
As to whether the sale is starting tomorrow, most likely it is. Usually its a 5 day sale so tomorrow through Monday.
The Bejeweled one was a joke (I think), but it seems that for some odd reason, Valve is going to be doing large packs for some games. Like the Left4Dead 4 pack came with 4 copies of the game. Most likely its going to be pushed as being able to buy gifts for all your friends easily.Forkball said:

Two possibilities:
1) Just like the 4-packs, one person buys the pack and gifts the extras to their friends, obviously at a reduced cost.
2) A person buys the game and is given guest passes to the others.
I'm thinking the most likely case is #1. We will just have to wait and see.

They should do it like where every time you buy a game during Black Friday, there's a chance you'll randomly win a 8-Pack of some game for you and your friends.

I'm getting ready for the sale but honestly I got most of what I wanted last year and during the various sales this year. I suppose I'll keep my eye on things like RE5, any and all adventure games, and anything I may have missed. I love Steam sales, folks

IMO it's fine and we do it fairly often.
RE5 will almost certainly go on sale at Steam though. I've seen it on sale several times during these big events.
gregor7777 said:
I'm definitely bullish on RE5 PC, I'm gonna have to pick it up if/when it goes on sale. anything under $7 is insta-buy for me. I put in ~80 hours into the 360 version, it's an unbelievably fun game to co-op with a friend. So much content. And for those who haven't seen it on PC, it's honestly one of the best looking games I've ever seen, at 1080P, locked 60FPS.
Does anyone know what the DLC situation is like for the Steam version? Does it come with the Versus mode, DLC packs, etc.?
I can't recall, does Steam ever put DLC at large discounts for these major sales?

Usually if a game goes on sale, they put the DLC on sale too. They didn't release any DLC for the PC version for RE5, though.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
While I appreciate being informed of competing deals, it only makes sense to see it if it is during a period of direct competition (like, for example, Steam putting Resident Evil 5 on sale and Impulse having it for less), or if the game in question is activated on Steam.
This is the Steam thread, not the Digital Dealz thread (which, incidentally, we have: Bandwidth caps be damned! GAF's thread for Digital Distribution Deals). I understand that "people don't read that thread," but that is ultimately self-fulfilling because no one posts the stuff that should actually be going in there.
It's harmless and is coming from the right place (the place in your heart that likes to save me money), but in my opinion, it is outside the scope of this thread.

I agree if it's someone posting Impulse's weekly deal or something like that, but when someone says "I wish X game would go on sale soon", I think it's helpful if someone points out that that specific game happens to be on sale at a competitor. It's not like it's an epidemic in this thread, they only pop up every now and then and it's usually in direct response to a request for a sale.

gregor7777 said:
That's how this thread has always operated; when it's immediately relevant, post outside deals.
However, and I hate to single out an individual poster because, again, it doesn't really bother me, the original kerfuffle over this happened when Toma posted some deals from Amazon, completely unprompted. We've since had completely civil discussions on the best place to pre-order the Witcher 2, and gotee12 posted that link to Resident Evil 5 with the only complaints being from people expecting a massive backlash for doing so.
I don't think anyone in this thread has ever jumped on someone for answering a person's question or suggesting another place to get a game they want.
Exactly. That's why I acted so strongly about it. Nobody cares that amazon is having a sale - it's black friday, they're supposed to. Either make a thread about it or Post on the Digital Distribution thread. The bolded part is how it should be done.morningbus said:
It's like going to the Direct2Drive thread (if such thread existed) every week posting Steam sales. It would have no part in that thread.
morningbus said:
Just to clarify. I was prompting myself basically as it was the first time I heard of Amazon offering decent downloadable games and simply wanted to inform other Steam users since they also might not be aware of it (most of which only check this thread. As do I.)
But hey! I am a bad person for helping people to save some money now because I SPAMMED the whole thread continuosly with offers that didnt concern anyone. (Because saving money does obviously not concern people who said they dont give a shit whether a game is a few dollars cheaper somewhere else)
Really. So annoying this guy. What was his name? Toma? Awful. On the blacklist with him.
Oh and I only posted games that are available on Steam for Steam users in THIS very thread to be able to compare prices and decide whether it might interest them to compare prices with another service.

If there was any thread derailment, it was people complaining about what you posted.Toma said:

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Yeah, definitely. I mean, if you don't like it I can only imagine you have some kind of unhealthy attachment to Valve or something.gregor7777 said:
