Until when are these deals working? Steam doesn't work right now.

Last year, it ran until a day or two after New Years. I wouldn't stress yourself out about it or anything.

EDIT: That's what I get for leaving tabs open! Thanks Volcano Man.

 

[Sciz]

Well, I'm getting a connection to the servers now. Unfortunately it's returning a 403 error. ;p

 

[830920]

Damn it, Valve, get the store up so I can buy Bioshock!

 

[BioHazard]

I think I'm gonna buy my second copy of BioShock at that price, lemme just go to th-FORBIDDEN!

 

[Thomper]

I can access the store again. There seem to be no more deals, though. Weird...

 

[Scott32020]

Works now, but the sales aren't displaying.

EDIT: Now it says Internal Error hmm, putting them back up?

 

[archangel565]

So the store front is back up. But no sales...
And there's an error now randomly. Something went real bad I think. :lol
edit: just a second late

 

[MrCompletely]

steam store is back up, but it appears that the prices are all normal, no discounts or mention of a holiday deal

 

[Volcynika]

Yeah....

what the fuck happened?

 

[JDSN]

Phew, I thought I was the only one.

 

[Firestorm]

prices too good for servers. upgrading servers to lower prices.

 

[Grayman]

Even if fallout 3 didn't run on your OS it would still be better than the console versions.

I want the complete pack!

 

[CabbageRed]

Wow, they have the X3:TC patch online already. They must be doing some serious cramming before the holiday.

 

[neight]

Steam is hanging for me again. Hopefully they're switching over to discount prices.

 

[Volcynika]

Store is down again.

 

[Antagon]

and it's down again :lol

 

[Mromson]

Looks like too many are trying to send their last minute xmas Present XD

 

[Volcynika]

Back up again, with zero deals.

 

[ShinNL]

Are they going to put up discount prices up again? I missed it all

 

[Volcynika]

Nope! It was a limited time deal that lasted all of about an hour.

Spoiler

I hope I'm not right!

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Eh, deals were kind of disappointing anyhow. :/ Hope they have more/better soon.

 

[CTLance]

Hmmm... Bioshock at 5€ would be nice. I hope they get all of this running.

(OT: I gots me a 360 PC dongle, wheee! Any recommendations for Gamepad-friendly PC games? Steam (/gog/impulse/etc) holiday deals preferred.)

 

[Antagon]

If you haven´t played trackmania yet, get it. Nations is free (from steam or otherwise) anyway.

Prince of Persia? Wait for Mirror's Edfe.

PoP and TR:U comes to mind along with any game that was on the 360*. Darwinia has been updated to use the 360 perfectly, going so far as to integrate it into Darwinia's tutorial messages.

*GRID has been broken for a number of us (presumably with the last patch).

 

[CTLance]

Thanks guys. Back to furiously refreshing the store.

 

[Quagm1r3]

Damn, I wish Mirror's Edge was on steam...

 

[Daigoro]

accessed it for the first time tonight, no deals.

 

[CTLance]

Ya, they did that rollback just to spite me. Tonight is probably the only night I'll have to myself for the rest of the year, and they've made sure I won't be able to get this friggen deal off my mind in that timespan. Bastards.

 

[Volcynika]

Damn, I wish Mirror's Edge was on steam...

It's coming in January!

 

[senahorse]

I can now see BG&E and Far Cry on the Aus Steam store, yet they have the ESRB ratings, is this a mistake by Valve?

It's probably a mistake. Shouldn't try and buy it till Valve announces something if you are thinking about it.

 

[Volcynika]

Update from Valve on Steam forums:

The storefront occasionally showed "403-Access Denied" while we were troubleshooting. The idea was to bring the servers back up and test them while only allowing internal access before showing them to the whole world.

We're continuing to work on the issue and appreciate your patience.

 

[senahorse]

I was so close to buying Beyond Good and Evil as well, hopefully they do become available here.

 

[Kipz]

No sale in aus yet. Also this Dawn of war pack is very confusing.



Individual price $69.97
Package price $74.98
Cost to you: $74.98

Do monkeys price some of this shit? I mean why in the hot fuck should it be cheaper to buy them seperately?

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Probably because it's a mistake. Calm down...

 

[NeoUltima]

It still hasn't begun

 

[Firestorm]

Down 2 dollars =/= down to 2 dollars :O

I misread

 

[Mromson]

Steam is down again, maybe they're adding the discounts back up again.

 

[evlcookie]

So are all prices now listed on steam in your local currency? Or are us aussies still seeing USD prices ?
