I picked up the Augmented Deux Ex:HR for €20; I have the standard version on d'xbox and was eyeing up the soundtrack on Itunes for €8.99 alone! With the documentary, booklet etc it's super value

Well so much for that, there's NONE of the extra content included in the augmented edition ffs :mad: Despite claims in this post I don't have the soundtrack (the main reason I bought it).

E-mailing Steam.

(Plus the fúcking video driver I downloaded via Steam keeps sending my VDU into power saving every minute while I'm using the machine...grrrr)

So...today is the last day for daily deals, right? Because I can still see the clock counting down to indicate when the new sales start.

Shred

Yeah there's 3 hours left so it must be running until 10am PST.

They always have the "new deals in..." thing on the last day.
don't be fooled!
all it means is there's more deals on steam past holiday sales, like mid-week deals and daily deals.

Actually when you say that I realised I had one glaring omission. I forgot to put in Eversion, Chantelise and.... Duke Nukem Forever

X-com Collection Pack

Woot, didn't spot that and 30 minutes to go in the sale! Wasn't willing to pay full price for it but wanted it quite badly for nostalgia reasons, UFO and XCom were two of my earliest PC games and I've very fond memories of playing them with my younger brother!

Dacelonid

Went a bit mental this sale, but it is only my second Winter sale and I had a fair bit saved up for it and managed to pick up a few titles that I've wanted for a while now.

Puzzle Agent, Puzzle Agent 2
Flight Control HD
Universe Sandbox
Dungeon Defenders

ShadowHearth

my list is very poor this year:

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy - really cool, but very complex. will need more time.

The binding of Isaac - LOVE IT!

Shogun 2 +DLCs - freaking amazing, but loading times are brutal! cries for ssd, but no way it goes on SSD with 20gb!

Tropico 3 - havent played it yet.

so around 25eu all in all. I got all of the games i wanted and new games did not droped in price enough for me to spend that sort of money.

Nerdkiller1991

And that is that, folks. An end to such a great sale.

Still got 1 coal to trade.

cherryghost

So... how do we know when the prizes are won?

Tar.Aldarion

happening tomorrow isnt it? I bought nothing, not sure how I managed it...oh yeah, being poor :P
shoulda picked up portal 2! /awaits sale.

Coriolanus

I finished up very modestly. Just Skyrim, Hard Reset and Universe Playbox.

Overheal

only did Deus Ex for $16.99 and I already regret that, knowing I will probably play it a year from now. Just like the Hitman and GTA series and a million other things I've bought previously which havent even been run before. almost caved on batman for the same reason

ionapaul

Only bought two games in the end:

Hard Reset
Rochard

Total spend: less than a tenner! I bought too many games in earlier sales and haven't played them yet, so am finally being more circumspect with what I buy; I know I'll get Dues Ex and Batman: Arkham City in the future but no need to rush, they'll be cheaper again in the summer 2012 or winter 2012 sales so can buy then, got a lot to play in the meantime. I'd like to ensure I pay less than a tenner for all games in the future, should be mostly do-able I think.

Wossack

You can see them within Steam if you go to your account page.

Wow, this being my first Steam sale (and credit card), i'm surprised at my control at not buying games compared to others

Although i am a sucker for the Humble Bundles...still haven't got around to playing most of them yet

Some of us save up in advance purely so we can splurge.

Nollog

Yeah, I don't really buy PC games until they're on sale on steam.

Most of us are just suffering from some rather massive buyers remorse leftover from previous sales.
Not me though. The 296 games on my account keep me warm at night.

RolandIRL

90 games in total...*feels inadequate*

I blame having a crap laptop and only getting UPC in September for my tiny Steam catalogue
