Since there has been a holiday feast going on with almost every online(And even offline, I believe) offering huge discounts, what all did you buy, for what price did you buy and from where did you buy? As far as I go (All are from Steam) : GRID - $7.5 Trine - $10 World of Goo - $5 Dawn of Discovery - $32.5 Mirror Edge : $5 The Secrets of Monkey Island : Special Edition - $2.5 Battlefield 2 : Complete - $15
I picked up Lucidity and Evil Genius for $2.50 each, and Call of Juarez 2 for $20. I already had a lot of the other games on sale, so meh. I might still but Tropico 3 for $30, but I haven't fully decided yet.
Nothing for PC, but I did get Soul Calibur 4 for 9.99 on PS3, and I also got The World Ends With You for my DS for 9.99 as well. I got them on amazon.com
Being an aussie, such a random sales event is a welcoming suprise. So I bought alot.
THQ Complete Pack - $49.99
Grid - $7 - 9 ?
Batman:AA $24
L4D2 - $37
Mirrors Edge - $5
Dead Space $15 ( I think)
Osmos $2
So now I have more games than I can handle :P Especially with the THQ pack, although I already did the 3 CoH games, its good to have 3 extra keys I can give to a friend.
Picked up (all in Australian dollars - remember that game prices are insane despite the fact that we've nearly reached parity with the US dollar :(.) Anyway: GRAW 2 ($20 - $10 off) Halo 2 ($20 - half price) Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising ($80 - $20 off) FEAR 2 ($45 - half price) Borderlands ($70 - $20 off) MW2 ($100 - full price) (Original) Left 4 Dead ($8 - 75% off!)
[QUOTE="linkthewindow"]Picked up (all in Australian dollars - remember that game prices are insane despite the fact that we've nearly reached parity with the US dollar :(.) Yeah it's stupid how the Aussie dollar is almost exact as the American yet we pay twice as much, thus I use Steam to get all my games less than half price! :D Anyway, I havn't purchased anything yet :( might pick up Mirrors Edge before the sale ends.
Mirrors Edge, no doubt I won't be able to download it at all anytime soon due to internet cap. But it sure as hell beats paying $50nz for it in store over here.
All on Steam: Osmos - $US2 Trine - $US10 (Better than the $US40 at release) Mirror's Edge - $US5 Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - $US10 I almost picked up Resident Evil 5, but thought I would see it half the price again in a few months time. I can wait. At Dick Smith's in Rocko - Mercenaries 2 - $AUD14 8)

But then you're assuming that I have good internet :P I can get whatever games Gamearena (which is unmetered by Telstra,) hosts, but then it's a slow and unreliable download :(.
Left4dead for a friend, Riddick for mah self, still wondering if i should get evil genius with 1h 30 mins left, although iv'e never really been interested in games like that, wich means i have never played games like the sims or any rts games in my whole life, not one :( sometimes i wish i had interest but i just don't, but its so cheap! eh, gotta make a final decision fast.
I picked up the following from Steam; Mirror's Edge, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, Lucidity, Trine, Resident Evil 5, Madballs in...Babo:Invasion, Mini Ninjas, Far Cry 2, Far Cry 2: Fortunes Pack, STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, Full Spectrum Warrior, Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers, Titan Quest, Titan Quest: Immortal Throne, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War Gold, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Dawn of War Gold: Winter Assault, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights, Dawn of War: Soulstorm, Frontlines: Fuel of War, Saint's Row 2, Warhammer 40,000 : Dawn of War II, Red Faction: Guerrilla , Red Faction, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, Red Faction II.
Nothing looks all that appealing right now, and I just blew $170 on a Radeon HD 5770 and $100 on a 1TB external HD and a new router, so I'm skipping the game sales this year. :(
