    Also got Silent Hunter: Wolves of the Pacific for €15 and I'm less then impressed.

    You'll even be more unimpressed when you hear it was only 9.99 earlier in the week :D

    I picked up Amnesia for 3.99 and Sim City Deluxe for 2.50 yesterday.
    Not two min after I bought them they doubled in price.
    You really need to be quick when each days sale starts. They seem to set the price based on peoples interest in the first few min.

    Well Sim City was €2.50 For Tuesday's sale. At 18:00 Yesterday it jumped back up to €4.99 which is its sale price until Jan 2nd. I'm pretty sure Amnesia was on offer Tuesday too.

    It seems like a really cheeky practice to change a sale price on something that proves popular. (assuming that's what is really happening)

    Very first day of the Christmas sales for an hour or two, pretty sure it was a mistake with pricing, boy was I happy, surprised they honoured the price to be honest.

    you wish has been granted. All be it at a price that I dont think is very competitive. can be gotten for under €15 off of amazon/adsa.

    Elder Scrolls is up for 50% off. €9.99.
    Gonna grab it.

    Anyone else find anything that they want in this bout of deals?

    Oblivion is a tenner. I think people were talking about that a page or two back.

    Nothing really catches my eye today, l4d2 and gta4 if I didn't already have them though.

    GTAIV Complete for under 9 euro. And because I already own the base game I can't get it... I wanted the expansions only :(

    Oooh tempted by STO offer. I played the demo and thought it was kinda okay. Anyone got any opinions? 7.50 for what I assume will also include a months play isn't a bad offer.

    It says that I already own GTA:IV Complete Edition in Steam, despite already/only owning GTA:IV only. Never bought the addon packs/DLC.
    Hmmm...

    So, do I actually own the complete edition? Or what. not gonna bother downloading, installing just to see. Has anyone who only owns the base GTA4 game tried this to see if they also do indeed own the complete edition now?

    were we upgraded from the base GTA4 game to the complete edition??

    7.50 s worth it. It's a prety fun game, i wasted more than a few hours on it. PVP is fun.

    Since no one has mentioned Transformers I assume it's just a pile of ass?

    Me too.
    I was told I do own both the expansions.
    No idea how as I bought it last year for 7.50 as "Grand Theft Auto IV (EU)".
    When I launch the game there's a choice of GTA4 or Episodes. I think you select episodes to play the two dlc's.
    I never tried though. I lost interest in the game tbh.

    Away From Komputer with steam installed until Monday too so I can't check. :-\

    http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1637452
    Users on the forum say you have to buy the eflc there, or you can gift complete to yourself, losing gta4 for eflc.
    It's all so complicated...

    It's one I was watching, and by all accounts it's supposed to be a good game, but not sure if I'll take the risk for €15.

    On the other hand, it's damn hard to find a physical retail copy of it... Decisions decisions. :confused:
