Nollog

Their webserver looks to be getting hammered.

Krieg

Spunge

Already have recettear so it just bit trip runner today. Borderlands is tempting but I know I'm never bothered to play online games.

Borderlands is a brillant SP game too so don't let that put you off it!

Wouldn't have thought of that, but luckily it just went through there.

Just bought Borderlands GOTY for myself and my brother, sadly I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play it (12GB download).

Gonna buy Borderlands again for all the dlc, it's a really fun game

Is it any good playing single player though? I assumed it was one of those games that's only fun in multiplayer.

Its ok, still better than a lot of other FPS games out there. But does become heavenly in MP.

Gotta Recettear in the last sale, highly reccomend it, great top down hack & slash mixed with a trading game.

Tempted by DoW2: Retribution but didnt really like DoW2, would only get it for The Last Stand (and then thats available seperately).



Damn you Steam and your siren-song-sales.......

Can be repetitive but fun playing through on your own all the same. I believe it gets to be lot of fun once you jump in with a few friends. It's $7.50 in the US while it's €12.50 here :eek::mad:
That's the kind of pricing that really turns me off buying these Steam games, even at that price. so frustrating that they can't implement a proper exchange rate.

IS it just me or is Borderlands + DLC cheaper than Borderlands GOTY? Or am I missing something here, has the GOTY anything on top? Ok, it's only 1.50, but that's another game during the sale :pac:

Spunge

THQ pack is seriously awesome.

have most of the games though.

Everyone should join this group:

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/1e1us

This group will make an announcement on every deal. They will let you know if you are getting ripped off, and by how much. And when I say getting ripped off, I mean compared to those paying in USD.

One thing I really don't get about this Prize Booth they have. Is the stuff there all DLC and gear that won't be otherwise available if you don't claim it? If so, that would be pretty unfair...

killerhitman

i just bought the valve value pack and oblivion for €53 and i'd say this is only the beginning

Agent J

I only have one of the games in the Valve pack. And thats portal 2 on the PS3.

I know. Im a bad computer gamer...

I take it as a sign that this goes on sale the same day as my results come out.
The other part is i have less than 36 hours before i loose my UPC connection.....

Seeing the same for me too. Not looking to buy it, but it's showing up as €4.99 on the front page and when I click into it, it's showing as €9.99. Haven't gone as far as to the checkout but the % changes from the main page to the product page too (75% to 50%)
Edit: seems to be a permanent thing on the website but it's still showing up as €4.99 on the Steam client main page.

Helix

9.99 on my steam client page

didnt think today was particularly great, despite the fact that i bought 4 games

Showing up as €9.99 now on both the website and the Steam client page too now.

TheChrisD

Balls, I definitely should've picked it up when it was just a fiver. I was waiting until near the end of the 24-hour period in case I wanted to buy something else as well and only have to make one transaction.

The FAQ should answer your question.

FFS - You mean to say they actually rose the price of TDU2? They have a 24 hour sale and when the game starts selling well, they actually double the price for the second half of the day :mad:

They can keep it so

quarryman

What time of the day do the new deals appear?

Edit: ah, looks like 6pm.
