Gaming Bargains (not Freebies)

Lemlin · 2006-02-06 11:11:59

Was wondering if we could get a sticky going about games bargains that we've spotted? I'm going to pm Monument about it.

Anybody else having trouble buying from Steam
Anytime I go to a different part of the store, whatever is in my cart disappears and sometimes I get errors saying "sorry we can't add that game now"

Never heard of the indie royale bundle...have the previous games been any good? worth blindly ordering?

I've bought their first two bundles.
First:
A.R.E.S. Extinction Agenda
Gemini Rue
Sanctum
Nimbus

Second:
NightSky
Fate of the World
Scoregasm
Ben There, Dan That! and Time Gentlemen, Please!

I'd say so, you'll be getting at least 4 games for less than 3 euro either way though.

Bought Orcs Must Die and it's DLC there too. I think Frozen Synapse is half price on the sale as well - Well worth it imo!

Thanks It's really nice to see things like this! All they offered me was a free copy of AvP 2010 and I didn't even get that in the end

I was planning on going in and buying Skyrim from HMV today. Does anyone know or heard if any shops will have black friday sales like gamestop.ie. Would hate to get it today and then see it discounted tomorrow.

Thanks!

I'm at work at the moment and won't be able to login to Steam until tomorrow evening, I'd say. I can't visit gaming websites either thanks to Websense.

Does anyone know how long the Sale will be running for?

Also, would anyone be so kind as to list all the games and prices here? It's a big ask, I know, and all I can offer is a Thanks but it might help lots of others like myself who can't get to their beloved Steam accounts at such an important time.

as Antar said, don't buy any game that isn't on the daily deal until the last day (which is the 27th Nov, sunday)

I would just pick it up whenever you can, its not gonna be on sale so soon, doubt it would be in next years Black Friday sales either, judging by its popularity. Seems most stores this side of the pond see it as a way to get rid of the problem stock like s****y movie tie ins and just plain bad games.

Damn Americans and their amazing Black Friday deals :mad:

The bottom line with sales is:
If you can wait, wait.
If you want it now, buy it at full price.

if you get it cheaper on Friday buy it but the PS3 version has issues with large save files, there's a patch out next week for all versions so probably best to wait and see what it's about, unless you get it cheaper

Had none whatsoever. All my keys arrived within 5 minutes of purchase. MW3 is a russian version though. You have to get a Russian VPN, log into Steam and activate it that way. Worked fine for me. Completely legal by the way.

You dont always need a VPN to buy from them. Just a lot of the cheaper ones.
