It has begun!(Steam)

I don't really care if this is off-topic, but it is just too awesome to ignore.

Steam sales have begun.

This is why I am a PC gamer. PC>>>>>>>>consoles

Deus Ex collection for £1.75........think ill wait for it to get a bit lower.

[spoiler] :P [/spoiler]

Super Meat boy is 3.75... might take a crack at that..

BFBC2 for less than $7. That is robbery!millerlight89

Steam Xmas/New Years Sales >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So awesome...... A buddy of mien spent 120$ last xmas on sales.. he got over 48 games for that price :o

Take that, consoles.:P

Some of the company packs are insane, 90% off, hundreds in savings.

i suppose the sales make up for them being so overpriced for the rest of the year.

Exact same prices as the walmarts or ebgames near me.... Then you get the HUGE Xmas, New Years and summer sales on steam that you dont get at those stores.

It seems Games for Windows are also running some deals.

Super Meat Boy for $3.75!?

Bad Company 2 for $6.79!?

Sales on other games I have yet to see!?

I'm probably going to buy everything and then continue playing the same games I've already logged so many hours into. :P

Time to spend everything! Thanks for the heads up :D

Already writing my list so I can buy what I want after I deposit my check.

Take my money Valve! ALL OF IT!

Steam being cheaper is an overall myth. When new PC games first come out, they are the exact same price as the console versions. All of those "semi old" steam games, the console versions can be found on sale at stores too.Unnatural101

first, most new games are $50 for the pc version and $60 for consoles. second, where have you seen sales on non-used games that are as cheap as steam has?

my wallet is about to be valve B!$%*. its her first time.. be gentle steam ;P

also mahajong wisdom is on sales at gfwl for $2.50 and all bioshock 2 dlc that noramlly had a price is free and gears of war is 9 bucks off :)

seriously though go check some of those steam deals.. like seriously some of them are absolute bargains.. your head will explode from the awesome

you can get the orange box title for the price of tf2 retail :p

you can get almsot every game on sale at steam.. name a game they sell it will probably be on sale

if by "some" you mean "most" then you are correct.

[QUOTE="Unnatural101"][QUOTE="Iantheone"] Depends where you live. Even the $80 BO was cheaper then getting the console version for meCaseyWegner

Yes dude, just yes. Want another Example? Standard MSRP of console MAFIA 2 was $60 in stores. It was $50 on steam. Some stores, you could find them selling Mafia 2 for $50 as well. Fry's Electronics had it for $52.99. So..again....yes, just yes. Steam is a myth, basically.Unnatural101

Lol denial is strong in this one.

i picked up new versions of Resistance Retribution and LocoRoco 2 for $8 (canadian, total for both). I also got resistance 2(original box, not the greatest hit) for 10.

RIght now, in canada, rogers has an amazing sale on where a ton of great games are 50-75% off. Games like Sin and Punishment 2, Mario Galaxy 2, and Other M.

Alot of stores also have sales that allow you to buy 2 games and get a 3rd free, buy one get one half off or something to that effect(though that can include the few pc games those retailers stock).

Steam sales are PHENOMENAL. But there's something to be said for owning a physical copy of a game. And there are some pretty sweet deals for console/handheld games too.

EDIT: That is a stupid good price for Meat Boy!
