Good price with the discount, since you get the head start. Shame I don't have the money to buy it currently.
It's not really standard practice for Steam though. Duplicates get lost into the void and you can't gift them is the standard MO for these types of bundles on Steam.
Where can I see if the game is steam redeemable?

It should say "Third Party DRM: Steam" right in the middle of the page. Here's an example. Your link is busted, but it says Crysis Warhead, which is not a Steam redeemable game. EA published games are never Steam redeemable.
Awww fuck. Although it's on steam.
Wanted to buy it with the 25% discount. Well, then...no buy I guess.Awww fuck. Although it's on steam.
It's almost certain to have a 50-75% discount during the summer sale, so it'll pay off to wait anyways.
That got me excited until I checked the price - £49.95!! And that's just the standard edition... is that some sort of joke by NCsoft? I know there's no monthly fees, but come on. £50 for a standard edition game is ridiculous, especially when the vast majority of PC games are £35 or less.
I think you'll find that yes.. yes it is redeemable on Steam.. they're Steam keys.. that's why I suggested it in a Steam thread.. crazy I know

"Please note: This version of the game utilizes both Steam and Securom DRM to activate and play this game after purchase. We also sell a version that utilizes only Securom DRM, which requires only Securom activation but not Steam."

I just want to say, if you do not own Killing Floor already you should right now. It's seriously a fantastic co-op game, and one that really grows on you over time.

Yeahhhhhh, I know. I've been trying to convince a few friends to get it, but they've been reluctant. I think they will with this sale.
TONS of stuff on Amazon is Steam-redeemable including the Bioshock pack, most of it exclusively at Amazon... they've worked really hard to get Steam stuff.
obviously all bundles will have huge discounts, that price is just the "regular" price (even if the bundle doesn't exist outside the sale).
this is basically the price of the game on origin or steam.
Great work on the list. Is this a typo though (the bolded one)? I don't think the IL-2 franchise can be considered indie, can it?
Well, there's also Ys elsewhere among the packs which struck me as similarly odd.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Me too. It's surprisingly tempting.

I desperately want to try DayZ. An Arma 2 CO deal cannot come soon enough. I'd just take the hit and pay $30 but it will almost certainly be on sale somewhere very soon and there is a distinct possibility that DayZ is too damn hardcore for me.
Right now I'm rocking in my seat waiting like a crazy person.

I also want to buy ARMA 2: CO just for DayZ, but deep down I know I'll play it for only half an hour or so and then go back to CS.
I was going to pick up American Nightmare if I had at least a few bucks to my (account) name, but alas.

Nope, that's what Steam is ideal for. You can buy everything from the website without using the client at all, and then install it in some completely different computer if you want.
The only time you might have to worry about it is when a game says on the store page that it has an install limit, but don't worry about it otherwise.
*edit* Holy crap, I managed to reply to a message from the first page. SHAME

I thought the Incredible Hulk was taken off steam. I hope note, because it's but it at a very low price.

Wait...wait wait...does it suddenly seem like the sale is today? Or do we think all of this is updating for Monday?
It's always jam tomorrow, never jam today.
Nobody thinks it's today. Some guys just think they're being funny with this spam (even though if we don't cut it out, we run the real risk of having this thread thrown into the community forum). It's not even likely for Monday. 99 percent chance it begins next Thursday.
I think at this point all we can really say with any certainty is that yes, there is going to be a summer sale and chances are it will take place sometime during the summer.

I'm just a bit annoyed they're rehashing most of the same old indie games from the previous sales again all over the place, games everyone has by now. There are so many new indie games from 2011 and 2012

Or at least make them all in a single category. Sprinkling them in with a bunch of other games they've recycled from 15 other bundles is annoying. Unless you're a complete PC noob, they're just not appealing bundles since you've already purchased many of these at least once (and probably multiple times).

There are plenty of new Steam users too

Amazon sucked up most of the money I was planning to spend on Steam. If Recettear or Fallout NV go on sale I'll buy them immediately. That's about it. I wouldn't spend a penny on any of those indie packs.
Some other games would be nice (Witcher 2, Tomb Raider Anniversary) but I have plenty of stuff to play if they don't.

New Vegas was pretty cheap during the Fall Sale (or Christmas, don't remember exactly). Will probably be on sale again. Played it for 5.3 hours lol.

Come on you Shamwow salesmen, start the sale!
This weekend? In that case it'll probably go 75% off on Monday.

Resist, STALKERS cost as much as peanuts whenever there's a sale.
