With a situation like that I wouldnt kick myself for buying at that price. Thats like $5.00 right? any further discounts will only save you a dollar or less.

But the GOTY edition might go on sale for the same amount...

 

[Dambrosi]

There is clearly a sale. Do a search.

Front page updates or it doesn't happen.

Either way, glad to hear it actually has started, even though there's no place to see all the sale items in one place yet.

EDIT:

 

[The Elite]

Did Steam go down for anyone else?

The website won't load for me right now.

 

[Chaos]

steam is down, i repeat, steam is down!!!

Winter is coming.

 

[Gilgamesh]

I can't believe some of you people caving before the splash page even changes. For shame.

 

[Toma]

Just pulled the trigger on these since they're small indies that won't be daily deals. Getting great $10 games for $2.50 is arguably the sweetest thing about these sales. Mega publisher packs give great deals, but you gotta drop big money to get them. So, I like small things like this, instead.

Your Shopping Cart

$2.49 Harvest: Massive Encounter
$2.49 Hinterland
$1.24 Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! Double Pack

Total: $6.23

These games are very likely to appear in Indie Packs. You might want to hold off on these sales.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Yeah. The developers lamented that decision insofar that they jumped at the chance to be included in a sale and didn't wait to see how a lesser-aggressive sale would have faired for them.

so that means it probably won't happen again, right?

 

[Leatherface]

Did Steam go down for anyone else?

yes. crashed for me too. GAFOWNED!

 

[The Technomancer]

Do we have an OT going up?

 

[Veitsev]

But the GOTY edition might go on sale for the same amount...

Bingo.

 

[BiggNife]

Hahahahaha Steam is down

Faaaaaaaaaaaaantastic

 

[Bisonian]

Have there ever been daily deals on packs? Would I be alright buying the iD pack today?

Yes, there absolutely are. I got my iD pack really really cheap that way one year at christmas.

 

[Wallach]

She's down cap'n! We need more power!

 

[The_Player]

I hope witcher 2 isn't a typo in russia

It isn't.

Bow down to Based Gabe.

Can somebody explain to a noob what "based" Gabe means?

Do we have an OT going up?

This is actually the most pressing issue at the moment. Who's doing it?

 

[Oreoleo]

There is if you put your Wishlist to good use

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Haha, awesome thread title change

 

[Sanic]

Yes, there absolutely are. I got my iD pack really really cheap that way one year at christmas.

Thanks, i'll hold off as long as possible

 

[Forkball]

How many potatoes do we need to charge to get Steam back up?!

[edit] Lost connection to Steam!

 

[Leatherface]

Maybe splash page is incoming?

 

[The Elite]

the site is reloading. some of you need to calm down for real.

No. You need to start freaking out!

 

[Derrick01]

They probably took it down so they can add the final touches. Daily Deals incoming!!!!!

 

[Gilgamesh]

Do we have an OT going up?

Yes, this thread will be locked and someone responsible will create an OT.

 

[PaulLFC]

Homepage just loaded for me, still the same, no sale info! Let the deal hunting continue.

 

[ShinNL]

What's with all those "wait" advice? Don't daily deals disappear after each day? I just bought SSF4:AE... >_>;

 

[IndieJones]

What happens if there's another OutRun: Coast To Coast scenario where all of the CD keys are bought and no one else gets it?

It's a conundrum. Wait until the last day for a better sale VS possible not being able to buy at all.

 

[Baller. PhD]

Need daily deals ASAP. This 33% shit is WEAK for Steam!

 

[slidewinder]

Some info about the sale from a DoW2 dev:

The helmet is for mp. It just looks pretty. It's part of a Steam Summer event where you can earn points by completing achievements in a variety of games and then earn prizes. Our contribution to the prize pool is a shiny Force Commander hat for the Blood Ravens.

 

[TheBez]

Somebody get the potatoes we all need to idle in some games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[I H8 Memes]

I would feel guilty if I bought a game at a price that wasnt intended just because of a glitch. Who covers the difference between the glitch and the real price? Valve? Or does the publisher take the loss. I would guess Valve would have to make up the difference since it was their fault. Either way I wouldn't feel right about it.

You buy the featured daily deals the day they're on sale, and anything else on the last day.

 

[JaseC]

so that means it probably won't happen again, right?

To the contrary, they'd likely try it again now that it is ingrained in the minds of Steam users that the game has been $X. In hindsight, it was more, "We really should have waited" as opposed to, "We dun goofed; we won't be going that low again!"

TREASURE HUNT 2.0 BEEYATCH.

Well yeah, buy it if it's a daily deal, else wait until the last day.

 

[Cardigan]

If it's not a daily deal, wait.

Ohhhhh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

What we're seeing here is a MAJOR STEAM SALE. There's usually 3 a year, Summer, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

During these sales most of Steam goes on sale. However, the daily deals during these sales tend to put some or all of these games on MORE sale.

So any sale you see, unless you're sure it's a daily deal, may be cheaper sometime before the sale ends.

 

[The Technomancer]

Yes, this thread will be locked and someone responsible will create an OT.

Right, I'm just wondering who's going to do it.

 

[Ferny]

Lulz i thought the same thing

There's plenty with bigger discounts, you just have to search for it. Here in the UK the Valve Pack is £25 (>80% off) and Test Drive Unlimited 2 is £5 (75% off).

 

[Sanic]

So who's up for the OT? We need someone like, say, right about now.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Pulled the trigger on SSFIV:AE. I suppose it could go lower than 43% off a unreleased, new game but it's at least as likely it will go up once the pre-order bonus is over, so I bit. I feel pretty good about it. It will likely be the single biggest purchase of the sale.

I only wanted A.R.E.S. which was $10 on its own.

Yeah, that's my problem with the Indie Packs. They carefully and purposefully put 1-2 desirable games in each pack and then pad the rest with filler, so that it's really not such a good deal in the end considering you didn't want the other 4 games anyway.

 

[Lolerzors]

Since there's a discount for people who own sf4 for AE, does the discount extend to a 4-pack?
