    My poor, poor credit card.

    Also love how Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor is STILL €35, even though its meant to be 25-50% off ALL THQ games.

    very nice.

    I think I am looking at this right, the daily deals(in pink) last for 24 hours while the rest remain at those prices until the end of the sale unless they are a daily deal later on. Is that right?

    If you don't own Super Meat Boy, go out of your way to pick it up. It's a game that can be appreciated by any gamer!
