What are you waiting for? The Steam holiday sale.

[Da_Schwartz]

I bought Borderlands today from it. 9.99, can't go wrong with that my pretties.

I went to pick this up but was declined cause i maxed out my credit card already. Stupid holidays >.<

 

[Sneeze]

I actually want the games I want to stop being on offer, spending way to much. <.<

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent for me i really want that game but i'm cheap

its 50% off at the moment, i only just bought it myself cos im cheap aswell

 

[Enigmers]

I WAS waiting for Dragon Age to be on sale, but it's on sale today and I just bought it.

Twenty-four gigabytes, dear lord.

 

[Rednog]

Not really looking for anything in particular anymore, was a little disappointed in the prices of some games that I wanted, for example the dragon age origins ultimate edition is too high for my tastes, especially considering I've seen the original game going for $7 a month ago.

 

[Cronq]

I got lucky and picked up The Devil May Cry 4 before they doubled the price. Also grabbed F.E.A.R the first day. I'm hoping for a sale on Dead Space, but I'm very open to every other bargain Steam feels like throwing out there.

 

[Tri313]

bat man arkham asylum for 7 dolla and fiddy cent???? Hellz yea (=bo.o)=b

 

[Weslebear]

I'm waiting for a decent PC so I can actually enjoy the Steam Sale for once >_>, getting closer to it thanks to some Xmas money :3.

You would think that being a digital distribution vendor, Steam could bypass a lot of overheads and could afford to sell games at cometitive prices, but of course, Steam being Steam, it's always cheaper to wait 2 weeks after release and buy from an actual store.

Sale or no sale, Steam is and will continue to be overpriced. They do have actual sales where you can get good games for £5, those are pretty rare and usually so oversubscribed any advantage of digital distribution is lost, and then some.

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Dragon Age Origina Ultim- HOLY SHIT YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I'm also hoping the star wars pack gets a larger discount

Yeah....I was thinking the same thing too, and most of those games are incredibly old. Oh George, when will you be generous?

 

[GBlair88]

Kind of hoping for Operation Arrowhead to come up in the sale. I know it is already discounted but hoping for a bigger drop. Though ArmA II was on sale already so you'd think Arrowhead would've been on the same day.

Maybe one day.

You can buy Amnesia for $7.00 or batman arkham asylum retail for $7.50?
Or just cause 2 for $12.50 in a retail store?
Wow... where the hell do you live? I want to ransack your country...
I call bullshit on your claim, sorry.

[Sephychu]

Bad Company 2, and OddBox, I missed, but I shall buy regardless.

I'd very much like Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat to go cheap, though this seems unlikely. I'll buy them regardless as well.

 

[XT inc]

Really I just want a second crack at buying the orange box for 7.49. I mean I have the xbox version, but I think I want that.

I've never heard of those games... Are they indie/casual games? Retail stores reduce prices by significant amounts to shift stock, whereas Steam don't need to, and prefer to continue charging as much as they viably can. £3.45 for Arkham is probably a good deal (never played it myself), but given their past performance, at some point, buying and playing an hour or so later (allowing for download) will become impossible.

Prices just don't fall off as quickly as they do in retail, and the main reason Steam doesn't suffer much for it is because their demographic is too lazy to shop around.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I'm happy. My fiance got me the 2K catalogue pack. Over $500 worth of games. The only problem is, I dont' actually have enough room on my harddrive to download them all.

But I've already downloaded Borderlands with all the DLC, so I am a happy camper!

 

[JoshGod]

I'm sure you all know about steams holiday sale, but what sepcifically are you waiting to pop up on Today's Deals? I'm waiting for Greed Corp, plants vs. Zombies GOTY and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Greed Corp to I know have already been on sale, but doesn't one of the indie packs include it? Can't you just buy one of them if that´s the case?

Edit; Uhh not sure, already bought most of what I wanted.[/quote]
It's not in an indie pack... Yet.

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

I'd also like to see the Penumbra series and Prototype show up on the main page offers.

A million times, YES.
I am too chicken shit to play it though myself, but more people need to appreciate the art that is this game.
