Im hoping for a small discount on skyrim
Its already at a decent price at €15, with the legendary edition at €30
I never played skyrim on the pc yet(only on console) so hopefully i will get to pick it up.

I might also pick up invisable inc if its cheap

I'd guess at about 7.50 for Skyrim Legendary. It'll definitely go down.

I think I paid about a tenner for the legendary edition last year.

Just got my wishlist down to 30 games and I'm sticking to that hopefully!

Links234

My wishlist is just shy of 50, but I just kinda use it to keep track of games I'm interested in, not so much want to buy in all cases. Not even sure if I really want much this sale, but we'll see.

Turtwig

Will this sale be a similar format to the Thanksgiving one i.e no flash or daily deals?

pablomakaveli

Yes. They flash sales and daily deals are gone now apparently. Kind of kills of the fun of the sales but theres no chance of missing out on deals now at least.

degrassinoel

wont be long long now, kind of surprising that were no leaks on the sale mentioned yet

TheDoc

As Links mentioned previously, these sales can get underwhelming as you utilise other sales to fill up your back cataologue. I'd a couple of big steam sales spending €100-200, so most of the really good deals I probably already own the games.

Coupled with a changed financial situation, probably won't be much I can treat myself to this christmas sale. Then again, who knows what can come up. But I'd say I'll try keep reserved this coming sale.


*Bookmarking this post so I can come back and laugh at myself at the end of the sale

Links234

Brace yourselves!

Dair76

Or not....

weisses

That's disappointing .....

Steam sale cancelled

pablomakaveli

Going by the last few years id be surprised if i can even load the steam store for a few hours.

weisses

Its there now

GO GO GO GO GO

Nothing immediately jumping out at me anyway. I've decided to keep tabs on the latest football manager, and if that takes a nice discount, I'll grab that. At the moment undiscounted at €54.99. Think I saw it in Smyths for €30 or €40 cant remember

1huge1

Nothing jumping out at me, skyrim for €15? pretty sure I picked that up for €5 at the last Christmas sale.

Happy hunting everyone

Edit: Just dropped again to €7.50 so never mind :-)

weisses

That's dissapointing

Krieg

Sale just went live and the steam servers are hurting

Looks they have done away with flash sales again.

mahoganygas

So no minigame this time?

TheDoc

I've never played Age of Empires, realised that not in my library. They seem to be going for a few euro. Any recommendations for that series?


Max Payne and Max Payne 2 doing the usual 75% discount, so €2.50 a piece. If its not in your library, make it happen. I picked them up one sale just so I didnt have to go to the effort of installing from a disc

EDIT: I see Rome II emperor edition for €13. Heard that game pretty good now thats its fixed. Interesting

Internet Friend

Lads, log off and log back on. Seems the discounts weren't applied properly

e.g. Skyrim is only €3.74

CastorTroy

Resident Evil still full price. Guess I'll go with the €8 uPlay offer

Monotype

Yep, I'd pick it up for that discount.

Links234

Give it time ladies and gents, the proper prices will show, but be patient. Right now Valve's servers are getting smacked down from everyone logging in at once and refreshing to see what's up. Calm your tits!

Lord TSC

Is Back to the Future the usual Telltale experience?

Think I'll grab State of Decay too; enjoyed it pre-DLC on Xbox so might go again. OH! Been waiting for KOTOR to drop as well

Dair76

By the way, you get free sale trading cards from exploring your queue on the store front - up to three a day I think. The market is a bit botched along with the rest of the site at the moment, but looks like the cards are still going for ~14c a piece.

AoE 2 is still quite popular, haven't heard great things about 3.

You think they could spend a few more quid to boost their setup during sales.

The Randy Riverbeast

I have no idea what I own or don't. It's just clicking and seeing if it tells me if its in my library.

Andrew76

Not quite a tenner but Ori down to 12 and Undertale 8. Nice.

LFC CONNAUGHTON

Have loads of games not updated because there should be "thousands of games in the winter sale" but it only says 150 specials?

Nailed it.

Just realised the "Bargain Alerts" thread was the wrong place to be in for this! I'm pretty underwhelmed by the sale so far.....

Links234

I'm still getting errors, this is madness.

Remember seeing it in Smyths for 30 at the weekend

Links234

Hmm, was gonna get Valkyria Chronicles for my girlfriend, and it's currently 66% off, but when I got it during the summer it was 75% off.

Hyzepher

Can anyone access their Wishlist?

I can, but others have had issues with it apparently.

LFC CONNAUGHTON

I want to leave it for a couple of hours so it is fixed but I'm also so frickin eager to buy some games

If Wolfenstein Old Blood goes below €9.99 someone please PM me :-)

It's 9.99 on greenmangaming now. There is also a 20% off voucher floating about.

Drexel

very underwhelming sale. Nothing Im even tempted by.
Maybe Civ Beyond Earth for 16 bujt Im a bit meh about it.

Anyone played much of it?

Vojera

They've changed the sales so much lately that I can't tell (plus using app) - are they still doing daily deals (so prices could go down more) or are these the prices for the whole sale?

LFC CONNAUGHTON

Just picked up the Talos Principle for €5 with a coupon

There are no more flash or daily deals, the prices are what they are for the whole sale. However, they'll highlight different things on the front page each day.
