awesome OP, MRORANGE
<3 it

 

[Mulligan]

fuck yesss! amnesia in the daily is what i've been waiting for since i missed it on halloween. anything else is now a bonus!

 

[Ceebs]

The worst part is all I will use all my monthly bandwidth reinstalling all these games just to do the achievements.

 

[snack]

Y'all have a 1 in 4 chance of getting a gift!

Gifts. For each Objective completed during the Holiday Sale Period, the entrant will have a one (1) in four (4) chance to receive a Gift from the Great Gift Pile. Completing one (1) Objective will produce one (1) chance to receive a Gift. If you complete an Objective and do not receive a Gift, you will receive a piece of Coal.

Might be worth thinking of when hunting achievements.

 

[Tenck]

Just bought Orcs Must Dies a A Bunch of Heroes. Only for the achievements though ^_^

That's it for me today.

Edit: Also, inventory is bugged right now guys. I saw that I had received Counter Strike Source, but now it's not showing up. Nothing is showing up.

 

[Fuzzy]

how many users are on steam right now?

 

[Kabouter]

Changed server to Finland, still no luck. All hope is lost.

Sorry, hogging that bandwidth. Getting 4.5MB/sec from NL

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

what the F i want to buy portal 2 but when i go to the page its $14.99! what happened to $7.49

 

[Barrett2]

What are the best OSX deals? Having trouble logging it at work right now.

 

[The_Monk]

FINALLY I saw my gift, it's a 25% OFF Valve's Game.

 

[throwawayname]

NOOOO the 25% off gift just gone from my inventory after I reloaded!!
It'll be back right?

 

[Turfster]

I didn't get the first achievement even though I looked in my inventory...

I got the achievement but I don't have anything in my inventory!

... I'll check back in an hour or two.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

33% off the Valve pack in my gift box. That stacks too no?

 

[Derrick01]

Y'all have a 1 in 4 chance of getting a gift!




Might be worth thinking of when hunting achievements.

But you win even if you get coal since you can A) trade the coal to someone for games/coupons B) keep the coal and make a gift out of 7 or C) keep the coal and each one gives you another chance to win every game on steam.

It's brilliant really. Even Steam itself has a better and tougher choice system than Bioware games now.

 

[Vanillalite]

They got some 20$ Indie bundles up with 10 games in each,

I only see the one indie bundle mentioned in the OP. How did you find these???

 

[RibbedHero]

33% off the Valve pack in my gift box. That stacks too no?

Valid between Jan 2 and March 31, and not valid for games released after Jan 2.

 

[chaosblade]

I only see the one indie bundle mentioned in the OP. How did you find these???

Might be able to search. I saw the Super bundle but didn't really pay it much mind.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

That page/tab is always there. Check back when it's running smoothly, it's probably not TF2 related.

I'm with this guy, unless I've got lucky and received a TF2 hat/item too. I'd be happy with that.

 

[inky]

Meh, I'll come back in a couple of hours. In the mean time I guess I'll start making some progress on those cheevos.

 

[gray_fox224]

Can I buy the games using my iPhone and download them later on my computer?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Valid between Jan 2 and March 31, and not valid for games released after Jan 2.

LOL, page GURU'd out on me and I didn't see that. Thanks.

 

[x3sphere]

So is Dead Island's price still messed up??

I saw $10 a few minutes ago. Gosh I hope it stays like that.

EDIT: ......Crap, it's gone.

Changed just as I went into checkout Anyone get in on the 4 pack? It was like $20 bucks.

 

[Mr Nash]

Still sifting through my Summer sale back log, but there are a few games I'm inclined to snap up. May get the Gundemonium games since they're even more dirt cheap than usual. Also hoping for Rochard on the cheap. Probably far to early to hope for a discount on War in the North though. =(

 

[Prezhulio]

Can I buy the games using my iPhone and download them later on my computer?

yes.

I liked the smaller, guaranteed prizes from the summer sale rather than this lottery crap.

 

[Oreoleo]

I only see the one indie bundle mentioned in the OP. How did you find these???

They're at the bottom of the front page of the Store, listed below the daily deals.

Well, more like the middle of the page.

 

[Spl1nter]

I got a coupon for 50% off Fear 3 from Jan 2nd to March 31 2012. Worst coupon ever?

 

[Bucket-o-roadkill]

No. The gift thing is broken at the moment, I would give it an hour or two.

Fuck. I had a gift and now its gone because I tried accessing it while the servers were being hammered. Great!

 

[btkadams]

i've never bought games during a steam sale. i don't own half-life 2/etc. on computer (i have it for ps3). so, the games are 50% off. according to the OP, i should keep checking each day until the last day to see if they become part of the daily deal. are they technically already part of the daily deal since they're in that Valve complete pack?

 

[Volcynika]

I liked the smaller, guaranteed prizes from the summer sale rather than this lottery crap.

Most of the summer sale stuff was just cosmetic DLC. I prefer these more!

 

[RoadHazard]

My inventory is broken. It shows nothing.

EDIT: Ok, now the store broke as well. Guess now is not the best time to try to do anything at all!

 

[Mandoric]

lol

 

[Sanic]

View all featured pack deals from the store front.

 

[NewFresh]

Let me buy Portal 2!

 

[shintoki]

Packs don't get Daily deals.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Skyrim currently has -13% next to it, but the last hour Steam has been going crazy.

 

[throwawayname]

Gotta buy same paysafe tomorrow.

 

[Derrick01]

Yeah other than the free game they were giving away I couldn't find much that I wanted. They had the X3 terran conflict dlc thing but I haven't even had a chance to really get into that game yet.

At least this has the chance of giving me a game or a coupon for a game I want.

 

[Danj]

My inventory is broken. It shows nothing.

EDIT: Ok, now the store broke as well. Guess now is not the best time to try to do anything at all!

Yeah the inventory seems glitched right now. I can tell I got something in the Get Started gift pile thing but not what it is. Pity their system doesn't email you for inventory additions.

 

[cicero]

It sure seems like it is taking longer for all the Steam sale day glitches to settle down.

 

[Card Boy]

Was about to buy Fable 3 at $12.50 (75% off 49.99), then it gets raised to $79.99.

I think its a sign. Looks like its $49.99 again with 0% off. Something is going on. edit: now its back to $12.50

I will wait for a $5-$7.50 sale next year.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Fuck my life. My backlog is huge...I mean like Mt. Everest huge.

 

[rac]

I got a coupon for 50% off Fear 3 from Jan 2nd to March 31 2012. Worst coupon ever?

Well I got a tf2 winter noise maker. Thats a good coupon right?

 

[Relax.MX]

I'm I the only one not getting any gifts?

Just wait..

You can pretty much guarantee that Half Life will be a DEEPLY discounted Franchise Daily Deal.

The Complete pack won't go on sale, but if you don't want EVERYTHING, you're better off waiting for the Valve games you want to be daily deals.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Can't even buy Orcs must Die because my client is borked.

 

[GHG]

So do you get one coupon per unlocked achievement?

 

[btkadams]

Packs don't get Daily deals.

so will the half-life games not go below 50% then? or do you mean they aren't in a daily deal because the packs aren't a daily deal? sorry for being slow with this ha.

 

[Volcynika]

so will the half-life games not go below 50% then? or do you mean they aren't in a daily deal because the packs aren't a daily deal? sorry for being slow with this ha.

Individual games can be daily deals regardless if they are in a pack or not.

Packs like publisher packs last the entire sale.

 

[garath]

Dead Island is all sorts of messed up. it's showing $10.19 for the game with the guide, $20.38 for a 4 pack and $26.79 for the game itself.
