    I didn't get anything directly from Steam, but I did benefit from Amazon.com price matching :)

    The Walking Dead - $12.49 (€9.99)
    Hotline Miami - $4.99 (€4.29)
    Spec Ops The Line - $2.49 ($7.49-$5 voucher from purchasing the other two)

    Through canny use of tokens I bagged the following :

    Thief pack (Gold, The Metal Age, Dark Shadows)
    Magicka + DLC
    The Longest Journey
    Dreamfall
    LA Noire
    Assassin's Creed II
    Hotline Miami
    Max Payne 3 + Rockstar Pass
    Endless Space
    Star Wars : KoToR II
    Sim City 4 Deluxe
    Universe Sandbox
    Dead Island + DLC
    Hitman pack (I, II, Blood Money)
    Batman Arkham City GotY
    The Walking Dead

    And thanks to the generosity of the Boardsies community (or maybe I'm just a gifted scab-merchant?) I also snagged a DOTA2 invite and Frozen Synapse. The heroes know who they are :)

    Right, now the sale is over, and hopefully all the beggers have scarpered off somewhere else, I have a proposition for y'all.

    I've some DOTA2 gifts to give away.

    PM me with why you think I should pick you, along with your steam name, and I might fire you across one.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill

    I have given away about half a dozen on boards and about a dozen to steam friends.

    You can get rid of them on steamgifts.com also which I did for about 5 too.

    Oh and also have some still available if anyone is looking for any.

    I keep hearing about DOTA, and have no idea what it is (other than it's based on a Warcraft map, or something) so if someone can PM a code, that would be nice. :)

    Yeah, I got it in a bundle myself, so got The Line for 2quid. Have the first on 360. Haven't gotten around to playing that yet either myself.

    Finished Dawn of War, before I tuck into the expansions I've been giving Overlord a go and quite enjoying it! It has it's issues but for a fiver for the series you can't go too wrong. Best way to describe it is pikmin in a fantasy setting I suppose.

    Battlefield 3?
    Still needs to be activated on Origin, but amazon act as partners/vendors for selling keys as well. Can be cheaper at times.

    It's here:
    http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-3-Premium-Edition-Download/dp/B0098QPPL6/ref=pd_sim_vg_7

    You'll need to add a US address onto your account for the 1 click purchase for Amazon.com

    Seem's it's gone back up to full price anyway.

    They should all come with the premium version I linked. The "premium pass" is intended if someone just bought standard.
