    Apologies if hardware bargains aren’t allowed here.

    The Deepcool Gammax 400 Red LED CPU cooler is 50% off on Amazon when you tick the ‘add voucher’ box beneath its price:
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B078YBXJHD?ref=ppx_pt2_tab_b_prod_image

    A long way from the best of the best but it competes well with (and in some tests surpasses) the €20-€30 range coolers.

    Can’t go wrong at around €14.

    Edit. Saw the voucher.

    How To Get 3 Years Of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate For Cheaper Than Usual

    seemingly It isn't a quirk, it was intended as part of the promotion. It also stacks any Game Pass time with Gold time, adding them together then converting at a 1:1 ratio to Ultimate

    the 1 euro ? still showing up for me.

    EDIT: Ah I see what they have done now, they have stopped people stacking loads of Xbox live codes/years into your account before taking the 1 euro deal.
    As luck would have it, I have my live sub up until November 2021 so game pass ultimate/Microsoft account is saying it will work all the way up until then before I have to pay the 12.99 :)

    No need for it. Hand Simulator is on sale now. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,503 ✭✭✭ElNino


    10am PST is 6pm here not 5pm.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,455 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    Yep, sale is live now.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,686 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Vermintide 2 €9.51 insane bargain considering all the content plus you dont actually need all the DLC because anyone in the group with DLC=everyone has it :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,829 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    So is isthereanydeal.com the best site for comparing prices during the steam sale?

    I know we have the likes of DLCompare as well but avoiding grey market key sites.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭Moon54


    I prefer gg.deals these days;
    https://gg.deals/ie/

    This page has some has good filter presets for the Steam sale atm.

    I just pay the steam sale prices as you know they are genuine. Those key sites sell cheap games all year round and you do not know whether they are legit or not. Some times they are but nearly 90%+ they are not.

    wat :confused:

    I've never had an issue with the key sites and ive used them quite a lot :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,309 ✭✭✭✭wotzgoingon


    I'm not saying you will have a issue. It is more for the developers

    That's why I'm asking for non grey market sites. Like options include sites like Humble Bundle

    Greenmangaming, humble bundle and fanatical are the main ones I use (fanatical mostly) and they're 100% legit, never had any issue with them.


    Grey market sites like G2A are a slightly different story


  • Registered Users Posts: 388 ✭✭LFC CONNAUGHTON


    Isthereanydeal.com is good for comparing the legit sites and I use allkeyshop for when I'm comparing the grey sites.

    That would have been perfect, but no goddamn way to filter for VR :(

    I just rely on this list: https://store.steampowered.com/search/?vrsupport=402&specials=1

    but would be nice to know the history alongside it


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,829 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I had Enhanced Steam, but that's no longer being supported and the one they recommend from their site is made by isthereanydeal

    Anyway, apologies for taking things a bit off topic. Anyone find any decent deals in the sale?

    I used them for a few years, 2 of the bigger names on the scene, and had no issues with the 50+ games I bought through them. However I bought one recently that turned out to be a fraudulent key (confirmed by developer) and when I flagged it with them they basically told me to get ****ed. So I raised it with PayPal who told me that once it had been delivered I had to raise the issue with the vendor, and again I could get ****ed :rolleyes:. After lodging the PayPal complaint, I'm now mysteriously blacklisted from using PayPal on a number of websites :mad:

    Wow, What website did you buy the dodgy key off and what game was it?

    Can we keep the chat to bargains.

    We have a thread on Key resellers & grey markets, it comes up on this thread every few months and derails it with everyones different opinions.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,909 ✭✭✭nix


    Yeah sorry, my bad, i keep doing that on bargain threads :(

    I did just come here to highlight that Dark souls remastered is currently €3.99 in the steam sales however, which is pretty darn good.

    https://store.steampowered.com/app/570940/DARK_

    EDIT after Titans post: FECK! It didnt/doesnt say anywhere its because i have the original game :(

    **I know no chat**

    You need to own the original to get it for €3.99.
