Today is the final day of the Steam holiday sale and i was hoping for some new and fresh gmaes that were on sale but all i got today was some old ones. Still this sale was great but i wish they went out on a bang. Anyone else feel kinda let down?

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.
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.
[QUOTE="THGarrett"]it's on sale at the EA store and at gamersgate 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!I was hoping they would bring back DA:O one more time since I missed it the first time around, but oh well...

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. :PElann2008I 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).

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.
