Steam sale, again! UPDATE: Xmas sale

[Eidorian]

I have my original UT discs and the previous collection as well. I got UT 3 for $7 off of Steam and I remember that sale increasing the user base by at least 300%.

I just bought Flashpoint with my friends. I'll be picking up GTA IV tomorrow once this download is done.

Man, so many cheap games but so little time to play them. Haha.

My Visa is crying tears of joy and sadness....

It looks like 90% of the games on Steam are on sale. These prices are unbelievable. Here are my purchases for today. I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store.

 

[sikkinixx]

I snagged GTA4 (Triple dipped on it now... jebus), Stalker and Bucket of Blood... a cool 11$ USD. Noice!!! But damn, almost 20GB of downloads. GTA is HUGE

Torchlight went on sale for $10 over the weekend but it's still going as part of this promotion. Awesome game, and even more desirable since we won't be seeing Diablo III in 2010. I was going to wait for the Mac port but it was too cheap to pass up.

The Fallout 3 GOTY Edition sale is a fantastic deal if you still haven't played it. You're saving like $60 off the original prices. If I didn't already have 3 of the expansions, this would be cheaper than buying them separately.

I'd be tempted to get Fallout 3 GOTY if they let you gift off the non-GOTY edition. Already bought that during the last sale. Ah well.

Oblivion+Morrowmind Deluxe packs are tempting me muchly.

 

[txa1265]

I grabbed the Eidos pack, so I can re-get Batman Arkham Asylum (already played and traded off physical version), and also so I could get digital Deus Ex ... and everything else is just sweet ...

Another great deal is 'A Farewell to Dragons' for $15 ... but I've not played enough of mine to fully recommend it ...

 

[dubbz]

Some prices are insane enough that I can't resist buying, even if I know that I probably won't have time to play half of them. Basically just throwing money at them here


I do hope they publish some kind of stats from these sales.


Also saw someone link two sites that listed Steam sales:

Okay thanks, I guess I'm going to find the exact settings soon, 84% done downloading.

Picked up Alpha Prime for 56p (or so). It's not great and so far seems a total Doom/Prey hybrid clone. Gonna get that Grid tower defence game before it goes back to the normal price too.

Same here, I figured at $0.99, it wouldn't exactly be a lost if I didn't like the game.

None of these seem like a steal unless you actually had your eye on one beforehand. I would love it if they had COD 1 & 2 on sale tomorrow.

45 mins until the next update. Whilst the L4D2 deal is great I don't regret buying it on prepurchase (£26).

Grid Tower Defence Thingy was a great steal. Spent a good few hours on it last night . There (so far) is nothing new in the gameplay department but it's nice to play a pure tower defence game on a PC.

I'm hoping for an Oblivion discount at some point.

I knew it'd be smart to hold out for Red Faction: Guerrilla.

 

[ltldrummerboy]

I don't think I'll be able to pass up Red Faction and the Battlefield 2 collection.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

Drats! After vowing to not buy steam, I just ended up spending $1.50 on a FPS to get my rage out... and it'll be waiting for me when I get back to uni

[Eidorian]

I was considering Torchlight but I want something with multiplayer. Steam's servers must be getting hit hard because it's tough to get progress on any of my games.
