"Most coupons will be usable starting January 2nd, but keep your eye out for golden coupons, which can be used during the Holiday Sale"

I just used the Gift Pile thing, it's awesome.

5-6 objectives per day, when you beat an objective you EITHER get a gift or coal. Valve sent me 2 coupons to my inventory: 33% off any Valve game from January to March, 50% off any Konami game from January to March. Pretty swell.

You've got one good Steam server then. Because I can't get past the second stage of anything. And even when I do get a couple stages in, once the server hangs, I can't go back to the last page. I have to restart.

I mean, this always happens at the start of sales, so I'm not surprised. I'm just surprised anyone could get that much done already.

Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition is on sale @ £12.49 or £37.48 for a 4 pack (£9.37 each). What's the chance of Capcom going lower than the current 50% off?

Anyone want to go for a 4 pack? I can't host, but I'd be happy to paypal gift the host. :D

the chances are relatively good. wait until the last day of the sale to buy it at that price.

Bumped the steam gifting and group thread. Started a Bunch of Heroes pack. Should we make a separate one for this occassion (sale)?

EDIT: HOLD UP, IT GOT MOVED TO THE COMMUNITY THREAD. D:

Yep, that's what happens with me, I've tried it 15 times now, and the price always corrects on the last step.

Same, was trying this about 20 min ago and always changed at the last step. Ffffff... :/

I already own it but really wanted it as a gift for a friend, guess I'll just have to see how cheap it gets in the real sale.

Also...

Where can you see your gifts (or how can you get some gifts) ?

Mine just took me to the objective page. Or do we not get one just for getting started?
 
Got my 50% off Valve games.

Portal 2 for 2,5-ish€ if it adds to the 75% discount. Soooooooooooooooo glad I didn't buy it during the Autum Sale!

What the hell is the deal with Dead Island? I can't tell which is bugged - the home page price ($10) or the price on the game's page.

Think I messed up the inventory achievement, knew I should have waited until the servers had calmed down :(

I clicked on it, it loaded the objectives, clicked the Inventory link where I should see two gifts, but I see one (25% off any Valve game). When I go back to the achievements page and refresh it, the inventory achievement's still locked.

EDIT: Nope. Works now! Just refreshed a couple of times. Guess the servers getting hammered right now.
