Nope, because based on past Steam sales I already knew it was going to be repeats. And thining about picking up Neverwinter Nights 2 and Hitman: Blood Money since I passed on them earlier.

Yeah today is pretty lame. I wish they had brought back some of the better deals and better games.

Disappointed, but not bummed. I expected it to some degree. Honestly though, this year has been the best Steam sale that I can personally remember.

I knew it was going to be a "repeat" or "recap" of their bestsellers... but I was really hoping they would go out with a bang and put ALL previous sales up there. Now, THAT, would have been an epic last day. :P

It looks like D2D has the sale I was looking for (which steam only had for 1 day).

Why were you expecting fresh deals today ? Steam has nearly always worked this way. The last day of the sale usually features repeat deals that did very well in the previous weeks sales. They did the same last week as well on the Sunday last week it just repeated deals that were availabe the previous week. It is an excellent opportunity for people to pick up games they were on the fence about the first time or didn't buy because they weren't sure what lay ahead deals wise.

It was expected. I don't mind to be honest. It'll give people a chance to buy games that they missed out the first time. I wish they would do it for all games they put on the sale, not just a selected few....

Yup. As well as the Mass Effect games for dirt cheap. They still have "Buy 4, Pay for 3" deal at GamersGate so it's perfect time to capitalize on it. I believe some of these games only have a day left on them before their sale price expires. GO GO GO!

What happened to the "potato pack"? I skipped a couple of games that were supposed to be in this fictional "pack" that never materialized, unless I'm missing something.

My only reason for disappointment is because I wish they had done the top sellers for ALL the holiday daily sales. I missed on a couple early ones.

I really wished they would do this too. I was hoping to get Bioshock 2 from Steam for $5 (Got it through Amazon instead) and I was hoping to get some of my friends to buy Team Fortress 2/The Orange Box. That price on the Orange Box was absolutely amazing ($13 or $15, can't remember).

I'm kind of relieved. I'm also happy with what I've picked up. That's it until June. The haul over Christmas means I don't have to go to the increasingly sparse PC game collections in the shops around town as well. 8)

Yeah, it sucks. The only game I passed on that I picked up today was Neverwinter Nights 2. Looking forward to it. Most importantly, I wanted people to get another chance to buy games that they passed on. For example, if they had put up most, if not all the previous sales.. I would have purchased Doom 3 and FEAR packs as well.

Disappointed? Why? I see no reason to be disappointed after a sale like that.

I'm just a little let down on this last day. Why? I was hoping for another go-around of the "Serious Sam HD Gold for $4" sale today because some people apparently didn't feel like picking it up the first time, and I felt like buying more gift copies.
