Glitchy
Street Fighter was 50% for a sec, now it's full price again.

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.

yeah I'm not touching shit till at least 3pm

 

[Derrick01]

This gift pile thing they have going on is evil genius. They're actually going to make me buy games I didn't want just to complete objectives for the possibility that I'll get a coupon or free game.

Same for me

Hopefully it'll sort itself out.

edit: It just did!

 

[graywolf323]

Skyrim didn't even nudge. Is it safe to assume it wont drop in price for the entirety of the sale?

some people think it will but I personally don't

 

[X05]

So trade it with someone for something else.

nah, will just gift it to a friend

 

[Darkerkamikaze]

You can get coupons for games you already own. Got a 50% off The Binding of Isaac.

I see lots of trading in the future.

 

[Prophane33]

I think we killed steam T_T

 

[firehawk12]

Sir Roderick gives Cyl a Christmas present, Cyl gives him coal in return

What a jerk! :/

But coal gives you an entry into the super mega ultra whatever thing at the end of the sale!

 

[Cobra84]

What is the point of getting 25% off Valve games after the sale when the games are already 50% off?

 

[masterkajo]

You can get coupons for games you already own. Got a 50% off The Binding of Isaac.

That's to encourage trading

 

[cicero]

Dead Island price keeps on glitching. I keep reloading and getting the $10 price, but it hangs after I try to buy it with my wallet and it asks for more to cover a $40 price. I keep on trying because I just know that IT WILL EVENTUALLY GLITCH IN MY FAVOR!@#

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is digital delivery heaven. Valve never ceases to amaze.

Amazing

And my gift didn't work nor do I have any of the achievement reward games :/

 

[Stumpokapow]

But coal gives you an entry into the super mega ultra whatever thing at the end of the sale!

with all due respect to your observation, I don't think Cyl is the kind of considerate guy who has that in mind. I think he's just a S C A M M A.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

It's real. :O

 

[Prezhulio]

Skyrim didn't even nudge. Is it safe to assume it wont drop in price for the entirety of the sale?

nothing is safe. but it probably won't get as significant a discount as other games.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Skyrim didn't even nudge. Is it safe to assume it wont drop in price for the entirety of the sale?

No. It just means they're playing it cool and when they run that whopping 25 percent off Daily Deal, lots of fence sitters will be clicking with excitement.

 

[TheExodu5]

29 minutes in and no one has posted the North American sale prices yet?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Skyrim didn't even nudge. Is it safe to assume it wont drop in price for the entirety of the sale?

I think it might get a 33% discount (at most). Odds of that are pretty slim, though.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Good thing I don't suck at trading!

(I suck at trading)

 

[I H8 Memes]

Just got portal 2 for £5. Don't know how though...

Check the gift pile. I got 50% off any Valve title as a free gift.

 

[Stumpokapow]

The servers are still tanked

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Thinking about Singularity, but $7.49 is a bit much in the grand scheme of things.

I'll probably end up buying nothing today.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Fable III is 80 bucks?

What the hell?

 

[scitek]

Holy shit at the "Epic Giveaway" prize. Every game on Steam. :O

 

[snoopeasystreet]

It's real. :O

How long until the grand prize winner's account gets hacked?

 

[Stumpokapow]

How long until the grand prize winner's account gets hacked?

With SteamGuard, presumably never.

It's a great game. Well worth it at that price.

 

[inky]

OMG, so either craft gifts from coal or leave them just for a chance to win the mega raffle. You can also exchange your coupons (or full games) for pieces of coal or the other way around. I wonder if people will start offering games in exchange of pieces of coal!

Damn Valve, you wicked, sly sly bastards!

 

[Kabouter]

The servers are still tanked

And just without thinking I actually clicked install after buying some games. Haha, you would think I'd learned nothing in previous sales.

Spoiler

But it worked! The first time!

 

[kai3345]

holy shit at winning every game on steam

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Great Gift Pile link not working?

Welp, off to give my blood.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Servers are epicly slow so good luck trying to get in

 

[ClosingADoor]

Holy shit at the "Epic Giveaway" prize. Every game on Steam. :O

For one out of forty million users or so. Good luck!

 

[LuffyZoro]

Skyrim didn't even nudge. Is it safe to assume it wont drop in price for the entirety of the sale?

No, it's not. It'll probably get a ~33% Daily Deal.

 

[Sanjay]

For Half life Episode 3 :| Believe.

 

[Chavelo]

Bunch of Heroes 4-pack set up!

1. Chavelo
2. graywolf323
3. Petrie
4. Commander_Ike

Sent PMs.

 

[mrgone]

I'm not too sure if I'm down with the idea of random drops for this I liked the tickets being both gifts and contest entries at the same time. I can't even read the page right now, though, so I might be missing something. Also, I think Steam ate my inventory

 

[PaulLFC]

same here

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

Yep, same for me, got the achievement and Steam is showing 2 gifts in my inventory. If only it'd load the page properly so I could see what the second one was!

 

[drhankmccoyphd]

So do the achievements people did over the weekend count?

 

[Peagles]

Can anyone tell me what the third game across from the left at the top is, in the daily deals image? It's not available in my region and I'm just curious.

 

[Lolerzors]

Just wondering... dead island four pack was only 50% off yesterday right?... so is the 83% off 4 pack a new daily deal even though its unlisted?

 

[Thomper]

I have a coupon for 50% off Anomaly: Warzone Earth. Not really interested in that game, though - anyone have another coupon and want to trade?

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Omg valve just sent me Hl2ep2 gift in my inventory.

How did you get it? Was this at the ''check your inventory'' part? I only got the 25% off coupon =(

 

[Euphor!a]

Well I got a 50% of any Valve game coupon... would be alright if I didn't already buy the Complete Pack...

 

[graywolf323]

inventory system is completely glitched now it seems

I can't view mine at all

 

[kai3345]

Inventory's empty :'(

 

[Derrick01]

The servers are still tanked

yeah I can't check my inventory to see what the 2nd gift is. I did get my 50% off a valve game coupon though.

 

[JADS]

So do the achievements people did over the weekend count?

Seems that they did. I got the Orcs must Die cheevo and it is listed on the steam page as complete.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Fable III is 80 bucks?

What the hell?

what!?!!? so not worth it...
