    Where do I begin..

    Bioshock 2 - 14.99

    Dirt2 - 12.50

    Big savings on indie games, Call of duty packs

    Think its done by genre.. right now its action games.. not as crazy as Christmas, still very good though

    Bioshock 2 and Dirt 2 are both excellent, well worth the sale prices !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,919 ✭✭✭✭Gummy Panda


    I got bioshock2 and trine for less then 20 euro. Happy days :D

    I had trine on ps3 but the controls were a bit awkward so decided I wanted to try the proper controls.

    EDIT: witcher is only 5euro for director's cut. I paid 15euro last week for it :mad:

    Cheers for the heads-up! Just got Bioshock 2 and the complete Overlord collection.

    Edit: The Witcher is only 5.43, bargain!

    Must say, Steam's prices are only OK normally - but they rock during the mega sales.:)

    THQ Complete Pack €50

    If you buy a complete pack can you gift a game you already own from it?

    *edit* red faction guerrilla was included in the thq pack but now appears to be removed :?

    I don't think you can gift games you already own from a pack.
    I've got packs before were I already had a few and it just warned I already had some of them.
    I think the gifting thing was just for the Orange Box

    Yeah the duplicate game gifting only applies to a select few games, all of which are listed here.

    Those complete pack deals are amazing how do they make a profit on that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 662 ✭✭✭Liber8or


    Argh! After EA week my wallet is suffering, but now...all these deals. Broken Sword II for €1.67! The Witcher €6!

    Also, bear in mind that there is a daily special selection. So, certain games will be reduced even further for a limited time! Gonna pick up the Unreal Deal Pack. €13.49 for all the Unreal Games.

    Super Laser Racer is also a nifty old school type game that's going for only €1 - drop that one in to your basket too, nice little game.

    The expansion is only €6.80 as well.

    Bought four games already and am severely tempted by the THQ pack, gonna see if I can get a friend in England to gift it to me as it's only £26 there and is far to expensive at €50 here for what is in it....



    :p

    Old games that have passed martet saturation. By now they'll have recouped there initial investment on them and a steam sale probably needs little/no marketing budget from the publisher and no packaging costs. I'd say they make close to 100% profit (discounting Values cut).


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,711 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Just bought Dirt 2 and Bioshock 2.
    Serious bargains.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,411 ✭✭✭oceanclub


    Witcher: Extended Edition: €5.43
    King's Bounty: The Legend: €2.49
    Indigo Prophecy: €3.05
    Time Gentlemen Please! + Ben There Done That: €1.99
    Ghost Master: €.0.95

    In the past few sales the STALKER games have been heavily discounted as part of the daily specials so keep an eye out for them their during the week.

    Deus Ex and Invisible War were reduced during the week to €2.49 to celebrate Deus Exs 10th anniversary so I dont know if they will come up during the Summer sale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,199 ✭✭✭muppetkiller


    I picked up all the comando games for 4.99 earlier this morning too...always good for an hour or two to pass the time.
