[Hectic Glenn]

That time has come earlier this year on Steam, the time many of us have been waiting for, the Steam sales. Each day through Monday there will be a new line-up of deals. To continue the sales for day 4:

• 30% off - Call of Juarez: BiB & Chronicles of Riddick: AoDA
• 75% off - Mirror's Edge, The Secret of Monkey Island: SE & Evil Genius

Also look for deeply discounted publisher packs available throughout the duration of the sale. Grab the LucasArts Premiere Pack, at 60% off, containing 16 classic hit titles like The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. See the Early Holiday Sale page here.[br]Lastly check out this interview with Jason Holtman about the success of Steam and how Steam can support these sales.[br]Updated Friday 27th.

 

[Absinthe]

Dragon Age at 37 dollars sounds pretty tempting to me.

 

[Marler]

Hope the deals at Christmas are just as awesome as last year. Good way to break us into it! Interesting interview aswell.

 

[Sloth]

Looking at the THQ pack, $400 dollars of games for $50, although I have some of them its quite tempting.

 

[Vegeta897]

Let's get an ArmA 2 sale....


.. please?

 

[Paulaner]

This is definitely good news!

 

[Apocalypse89]

I was just telling myself that I won't be buying any more games for a few months.

 

[Warped]

I hope this is like this till the end of the year too.

 

[TwwIX]

Let me get this straight..18 games for 50 bucks?

 

[Lucid]

Incredibly tempted to get the THQ pack but I have most of those games already.

Oh man, I hope they do a sale for L4D2.

 

[TwwIX]

Very tempting indeed.

Yeah, a L4D2 sale would be nice. I don't feel like joining the mobs on Friday even though Gamespot will be having it on sale for $29.99.

 

[undertone]

A MW2 sale would be nice for me. Same goes for borderlands.

 

[B_MAN]

so tempting!!

 

[TwwIX]

I couldn't resist. I got the THQ pack even though i own a couple of the games. It's still a great deal.

 

[Dekstar]

I hate steam. Just bought Dragon Age: Origins special edition for £30.

hatehatehatehatehatehate.

Now I just need 20gb HDD space.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Hmm so will Dragon Age not have another price slash before the holidays on Steam?

Damn, its early but I just might get it...

 

[czrsink]

Borderlands was on sale at Amazon for a mere £17 delivered at the start of the week (I bagged a copy). Sadly it's now gone back up to £24 again Could have been a potential misprice, but the order was honoured and my package arrived today.

 

[Mischa_Silden]

Why did the special sales had to start earlier!?
I sooo wanted to buy the Dragon Age origins special edition and the Lucas Arts pack but my wallet is empty and I don't get any money until next week..

As people say: FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

 

[Escaep]

GRID for 75% off is an excellent deal. Definitely worth it.

 

[Reginald]

I bought Dragon Age.

But that THQ pack is hugely tempting. Just Red Faction alone for £26 would be brilliant, but alongside those other games is almost too good to pass up. But then I already have STALKER and Saints Row 2. And Frontlines or Dawn of War aren't that great, despite being hyped for them once upon a time.

Oh good. I managed to convince myself not to buy it!

Waiting for Borderlands now too.

 

[Laivasse]

I got GRID. I was eyeing it up back when it was first released and it's been ages since I've got my teeth into a good racing game, so 5 euros for it now felt too good to pass up. Certainly an easier pill to swallow than 37 euros for Dragon Age.

 

[Marler]

wish I had the money for Far Cry 2, guess I'll have to wait till Christmas sales!

 

[Sheepo]

I just spent $60, Allah help me, it's only the first week.

 

[Paulaner]

I just spent $60, Allah help me, it's only the first week.

Welcome To The Machine.

 

[Naph]

Nothing big for me.

 

[G-Dub]

I got Grid. Bought a copy for myself and a copy for my old man. Couldn't resist at that price. Need a steering wheel now!

 

[ríomhaire]

I like the looks of the THQ pack. Can't really afford it though. Maybe I can split it with my brother.

 

[MJ12]

I guess now I shall buy KOTOR and finish it since it is only $2.49

 

[Lucid]

The new batch is completely uninteresting.
L4D2 still isn't low enough for me to want to buy it, hopefully they bring it down even lower(atleast $20) at some point in the near future.

 

[MJ12]

Not sure when, but yeah, there will be a low sale eventually within the next 6-8 months I'm sure.

I don't recall L4D having that many bargain prices though, not nearly as much as TF2.

 

[G-Dub]

Hmmm, Dead Space is now tempting me.

 

[Paulaner]

Hmmm, Dead Space is now tempting me.

Yes, I will go for it. I don't know if it's my kind of game, but the price is right.

 

[G-Dub]

I've heard it's good, and I agree, the price is right.

 

[TwwIX]

lol Those who pre ordered the game are now raging because of the prize reduction of L4D2. Hilarious!

 

[SpiderPig]

it does suck but what can you do?

 

[Paulaner]

Steam Forums are really hilarious. The people over there never cease to amaze me.

 

[Absinthe]

I do sympathize with the sentiment.

As easy as it should be, I always find myself hesitating to buy something on Steam because I'm wary of of the schizophrenic sale pricing. I would be kind of annoyed to buy a game only to have its cost slashed within the next few days. Retail's pretty predictable in comparison.

Of course, pre-ordering got you early demo access and the opportunity to play at launch. So.... meh.

Plus two in-game items.


Prices always drop during the holiday season. It's common sense.
And if there's anything i learned from the previous game, is not to get caught up in the hype and impulse buy it immediately at its full price.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

You guys in this thread already know, but I've updated the news post with the new deals today including Dead Space, L4D2 and KOTOR.

Dead Space is a great game actually, a big title going for £7.50. Not bad at all.

 

[TheOneFreeMan]

So basically it's a pint of Strongbow, or KOTOR.

Sometimes I love Steam. I really do.
