    I'm in the same situation as everyone else, don't see a gift, 503 errors, Portal 2 price jumping like a little girl playing hopscotch.

    It's been two hours, I wonder when service will go back to some kind of normality.
    We have another 22 hours to get the games and gifts, I think it's probably best come back in the morn at this rate.

    Actually just after I posted that I reloaded the page and it seems to be loading at a somewhat normal speed, but still no gift.

    Hopefully it will be working again soon :)

    Completed the EDGE achievement and still nothing in the inventory. It says Steam (7) above, but below "You currently have 0 items..."

    I thought they had fixed the inventory issues

    Supposed to mean you got a Valve coupon and either another coupon off a certain game, or a free Valve game.

    Bah, this reminds me why I hate Steam sometimes.
    Let's launch a massive sale a week before Christmas, and see if all our servers get overloaded.
    FFS, Valve, sort it out.

    So it can't be used during the sale. Most of their stuff will probably show up with at least that much off anyway.


    Wait a minute... Excludes titles released after January 2nd, 2012. and it's only valid to March 1st, 2012...
    What have they got planned...?

    :eek: Half-Life 3 is being released between January and March!

    I really doubt they will pull out half-life 3 from a hat and with no advertising campaign.

    They were feeding us with portal 2 advertising with big spoons even if we knew it will be good.

    There might be some trailer by that day, but not the game.

    "Excludes titles released after January 2nd, 2012."

    Does this not exclude Half-Life 3 anyway?

    Are you seriious?!

    This game is being used as benchmark for gpu and CPU! It uses proper dorectx11 tessalation.

    It has great story, great atmosphere. Amazing setting and cool weaponry system.

    It's bloody great game.

    Absolutely, doesn't bring anything revolutionary in terms of gameplay but it is a very athmospheric and graphically impressive shooter nonetheless.
