yup, 50% off, its now €15.

Servers really are getting hammered, very difficult to navigate the website.

cian1500ww

Think I'll pick up Batman, the Deus Ex pack and F1 2010. Had a cracked copy of F1 already and it's brilliant, well worth the purchase!!

Gunmonkey

My poor, poor credit card.

Also love how Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is STILL €35, even though its meant to be 25-50% off ALL THQ games.

Sierra Oscar

Super Meat Boy is 75%, it was only released a week or so back. Oh dear.

very nice.

I think I am looking at this right, the daily deals(in pink) last for 24 hours while the rest remain at those prices until the end of the sale unless they are a daily deal later on. Is that right?

13.39 GBP (Eur 15.83 )

To see sterling prices just add '?cc=uk' to the end of the steam url

cherryghost

If it's any consolation, Bad Company 2 is 6 dollars in the US.

Yes, 6 dollars.

Bah. Beat me to it.

Already got my fear pack and meat boy is looking tempting.

Also gonna grab that unreal pack at the end if it doesn't appear cheaper.

It's gonna be a rough xmas

TomCo

Just bought Fear 2, Super Meat Boy, Penumbra Black Plague, Indie 2D pack (really only wanted VVVVVV), and The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom (38 cent).

Slightly worried now.

SeantheMan

Bought the Rockstar Pack, and the Square/Eidos Pack, will probably play about 10% of all the games I got with them....but hey..its a sale

Canis Lupus

I boughted Portal. I want no comments as to why I'm only buying it now.

Burning Eclipse

If you don't own Super Meat Boy, go out of your way to pick it up. It's a game that can be appreciated by any gamer!

TheChrisD

My credit card is not going to like me come January...

I'm very tempted to get BC2, or rather I was until I found out that the US has it for only $7! :mad:

humanji

Oddly enough, I haven't bought anything. I had a load of stuff in the cart and clicked on buy, but then the page wouldn't load and Steam crashed. It was like a bit of an epiphany where I realised that I didn't actually need any of the games and that I'd plenty already that would keep be busy.

I miss the old, impulsive me.

cian1500ww

That rockstar pack is awfully tempting...

cherryghost

Do the Packs ever make an appearance on the daily deals? Cant remember from last year.

Yeah normally it did. Don't think it will this time round since the packs are heavily discounted already

Just be careful not to list your account name or anything. Selling/trading gifts is a violation of the Steam SA . . . so just be weary.

Me too. Better late than never I suppose.

New deals up, best I see is The Witcher for €4. Two words to that:

F**K YEAH.

humanji

Witcher is now on sale- €4.

+1 , Ill be gettin this


The only downside to all this is I now had to partition my drives os as move my Steam folder over to a new drive with 600gb space as opposed to the C:\ (200gig) which took hours, as I've about another 200gigs of downloading to do :P

cian1500ww

Burnout Ultimate box for less than 4 quid?!?!?! Yes please!!

You don't have to physically move your whole Steam folder (but I supposed in the long run it might be worth it).
Look up symbolic linking, specifically 'mklink'. Using a junction you can move single game folders anywhere you want and steam will be none the wiser.

mklink /J "x:\old folder" "x:\new folder"

Works just like having a shortcut.

SeantheMan

Too late, done it earlier :P

Had meant to create a dedicated games partition for a while, so now was the excuse ...Videos/music/etc on another and the OS on 1.

Just need a 100mb connection now, STEAM downloads are goin a bit slow to usual, I would assume its everyone in the world making use of the sales

I'm stuck on 3 meg Downloads are slow for me at the moment as well. I'm glad I'm on an unlimited usage plan as I would have gone over my usage cap in 24 hours at the rate things are going!!

Zapp Brannigan

Finally got The Witcher! Just hope it runs well on the windows Steam wrapper I have on my MBP.

kearneybobs

Got the Witcher today. Looking forward to playing through it. Almost bought it in the shops a few weeks ago.
Now, all I need is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion to come down even further in price and I'll have everything I need from the Steam sale. Of course, I wont be able to stop at that though. Just hope I'll be able to get to Steam when it does come on special (and it will!). Hope I wont be away for it.
