Okay so.

Relic Super Pack + Dawn of War: Soulstorm costs more than Dawn of War Everything Pack + Company of Heroes Gold.

Grrrr.

Why can't Soulstorm just be in the super pack. It would make things easier. ;_;

EDIT: Is Bullet Candy worth the $3.59. I know it's not much of a discount from $3.99 but hey. I doubt it'll get much better. I just have no clue if it's any good.

I've done some snooping, here is a better plan if you want all the dawn of war games.

The Dawn of War super pack which is normally $59.99 is half off right now for $29.99...that includes all the games including soulstorm which is $26.99 on its own right now. :lol

Then pick up the company of heroes pack for $22.49 and you can get all the games together for about 52 dollars. So in essence you would pay about 15 bucks for soulstorm versus buying it seperately.

My total: 91.41 :(
Final tally: civ iv complete, best of the underground pack, peggle nights, world of goo, insaniquarium, both runaway games, flatout ultimate carnage, heavy weapon. Still tempted to snag jack keane for ten but this is good for now.

What is everyone else getting?

It gets even more tricky since the THQ everything pack is only 75$. For 20$ more then you quoted he could get all the THQ games. I'm in a bit of a bind since I own one or two from every pack. Since the packages aren't discounted based on what I already own (Stalker1, COH1, Titan Quest, they are much less of a deal. :eek:P

In the short term, I picked up Bioshock, Darkstar one, and Painkiller, Total was less then 20$!

Put in a support ticket, there's a good chance you'll be able to get refunded $10.

Yeah I thought pretty hard about buying the THQ pack but the only other games I actually wanted from it were Titan's Quest and its expansion. I have like no interest in the rest.

It'd be neat if at some point in the future they gave us discounts if we already owned some games in the pack. Or AT LEAST gave us gift copies, like Valve did with TOB and HL2/E1.

Knowledge is power, guard it well
The entire Dawn Of War for $29.99 is insane. I spent nearly $200 on the series.

Man I hope DOW II is on Steam in a couple of months.

It is, they have a page up for it though you can't preorder yet. Purchased WiC, and Bioshock for $5 is too appealing, though I probably won't play through it again...ah well!

GET DREAMFALL TOO.
Too late! Already spent way more money than I intended to!

But I've accepted the fact that it's never going to go on a good sale. So next time I have money...

Also, anyone know if The Witcher's gameplay gets any better than what the demo has? I mean the game looks great, and the story sounds interesting, but the gameplay was very poor in the demo.

Anybody else getting a "The Steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes", error? Trying to install a game.

I keep having to refresh my login and then it gives me this error when I do. Says my steam ticket has expired. I only bought the game(s) 2 days ago...

I changed my PW just in case somebody was trying to play my shit but everything looks normal when I look at my recent game times.

I think you can usually fix that by stopping Steam, deleting the clientregistry.blob file in your Steam folder, then restarting.

What came of this? I'm curious how they handle stolen accounts. Ever since I bought a lot of games in the holiday sale that has worried me.

Got my account back :D ... I was very impressed with the support...my account had been hijacked for over 2 years...

All I did was provide a pic of my CD key of Half Life 2 and I gave them a few more specifics like when my account was created and when I activated HL2. Took about 3 days but I finally got an email with my new password etc

Does anyone know if it's possible to change your Steam account name? Mine is tied to an ISP I don't use anymore, and although it's insignificant because you can change your contact email whenever you want, I would prefer to use something else.

I've been wondering this to. Mines tied to an e-mail I had 5.5 years ago : / well that's what the account name is.

If you always buy games with your real name, real address, real telephone number, and credit card, you can probably prove your identity against their records, although it might take a while and be a pain.

Can my numeric SteamID and/or Steam Account Name be changed?

Unfortunately, your numeric SteamID and Steam Account Name can not be changed. Your Steam Community ID can be changed at any time in your Steam Community settings, under "Edit my SteamID page".

Oh well...
