insane sale on steam store right now

Valve's making it incredibly difficult for me not to spend any money on games this christmas.

STALKER: Shadows of Chernobyl for 2 dollars? I'm in.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, thankfully I blew out last year and send hundreds of dollars so there's only a few things I need to get. Too bad that none of the EA or Activision games are on sale though.

Mirror's Edge is on sale right now for $5 (again) and it's most certainly an EA game.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, because it's the specific deal of the day (and was also on sale during the black friday thing I believe). None of the other games in the catalog are on sale... which is unfortunate when every other publisher put their stuff up for 30-50% off.

Space Quest Collection for only 5 bucks? I think I'll take advantage of this sale.

 

[Starbreaker]

Is this just PC games?

 

[firehawk12]

Umm... yep.

Ah, moving goalposts

 

[firehawk12]

I'd like to argue with you, but hey, it ultimately comes down to the fact that I want the RA3 expansion to go on sale. But EA hates Steam, so oh well.

And hell, I still can't believe they're charging 30 bucks for Battlefield 2. How silly.

I picked up Ghostbusters: the Game for $6.50US and GTA4 for $7.50US. I can't wait to see what else they put on sale..

 

[CommodoreKong]

I think I'll wait for the last day of the sale to pick up everything I want just to be sure that Valve doesn't put up anything I want as a daily deal with an even bigger discount.

I'm already making a list of games I want.

 

[Valerian]

Picked up The Witcher Extended Edition Director's Cut 50% off but the d/l speeds are real bad right now. I hope to play the game before 2010 but who knows?

 

[eastman23]

Jeez, so many games I'd like to get for cheap. Looks like I'll have to finally bite the bullet and sign up for Steam. I've always been a bit iffy on the digital distribution stuff (I like having an actual disc ), but I guess I should join the 21st century sooner or later.

Is there anything I should be aware of before I sign up?

 

[eastman23]

Edit: Double post, stupid dial-up.

 

[firehawk12]

Naw, I don't think so. The only thing is that some games are limited by region, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, and I guess some games still have install-limit DRM, which is a pain in the ass when you are buying the game off Steam, but that's how it goes.

 

[Rincewiend]

Got Battlefield 2 Complete collection for €5.00...

 

[rafterman1701]

Steam is too good. I can't pass up their deals. Nearly got Torchlight for 50% off. Then I hesitated and got it for 75% off the next day. Damn them.

 

[Rowan Sjet]

I wonder how many of these games I'm buying I'll actually end up installing and playing...

Eh, that's Killing Floor and Burnout added anyway.

 

[firehawk12]

Yeah, I'm buying stuff on the off chance I'll play it years from now. Even Burnout... I mean, I barely play the PS3 version as it stands.

And it looks like EA isn't forgoing the sale entirely. I guess they worked out some kind of thing with Valve to just have one game go on sale every day - but have the advantage of it being on the front page.

I'm still waiting on RA3/Expansion...

 

[Rincewiend]

Darwinia + Mutiwinia for €3...
