Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

If Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2 go up I'll be buying them instantly. I have them on cd but my m11x doesn't have a cd drive and I'm not buying an external hdd just to bring them over.

EDIT: Right after I post this I find the Dragon Age Origins complete pack on sale. Oh no! It begins!

Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

OMG must resist urge (and I don't even have a gaming PC).

Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

One thing I'm doing is only buying games that are daily deals. I don't want to buy a non daily deal game only to have it go on sale later. I think it should work out.

Impulse had Dragon Age Ultimate Edition for $24.97 during Black Friday. That was a hell of a deal that I jumped on. I would've preferred to get it on Steam, but I didn't want to risk them not matching it. I do wonder if they'll make it one of their daily deals. I'm really hoping Mass Effect 2 will be a daily deal.

Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

All I have to say is **** you Steam.

Games I want to look into:

NBA2K11
Warhammer 40K Dawn of War II
Crysis
L4D2

and oh so many more. Must resist after what Black Friday did to my pocketbook.

Re: Steam massive Xmas sale

Today's Steam purchases:

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition - $5
Defense Grid: The Awakening - $2
Puzzle Quest - $1.50

I'm starting to hate Steam for what they're doing to my wallet. Cyros pretty much sums up exactly how I feel when he says **** you Steam. I have spent $55 (plus tax since I live in WA) so far for ... 16 games, I think it is. I'd say that's pretty solid.

I agree... I love Steam, and hate the wallet damage they do... but they are minimalistic damages!

When these come down so cheap (like The Witcher) I always end up re-buying them from the boxed version of games so I have them all neatly on Steam. Not a huge deal when the price is low.

But I do not buy boxed versions PC games anymore, since Steam gets most of them, minus intrusive DRM most of the time.

Yeah I already had The Witcher Enhanced Edition in physical form. I bought it like a year ago for $35. Played for about an hour before I put it down and never got back into it. But for $5 and the convenience of Steam, I'm all in.
