Nice ;) I will definitely have a look. Some nice bargains there.

[Who]

Looks like I'm gonna buy Dirt 2. The G25 hasn't seen nearly enough action recently

[Ryzza5]

Ohh, you'll love DiRT 2 with the G25. :)

 

I own all of the decent (and some rubbish) racing games on Steam, but I don't have to worry about burning up here (it's winter)

[The Queen]

Damn. I am going to restrain myself from buying what I want this time. I really would buy a crap load if I could.

 

However I will definitely be looking closely at

 

Overlord Complete Pack

Indigo Prophecy

Defense Grid - The Awakening (It's £3.49 atm and if it goes down to £1.75 i'm sure as hell buying it!)

Silent Hill : Homecoming (As much as this is the cheapest it currently can be found, i'm still not paying that much for it)

Shadowgrounds Pack

Ooh, looks like GM Rally could be mine for just five of my hard-earned dollars! Take a look at the awesomeness! Ogle at those mind-blowing graphics and those (and I quote), "off-road monsters!" For just five bucks, we, too, can bask in the brilliance of the shining American auto industry! Ignore the Russian writing!

 

:cheeky:

Looking at grid but gotta make sure i can play against retail people first :)

[Ryzza5]

I bought GM Rally on based on your earlier praise, Leadfoot - I'll do a mini review later next week on it

 

 

 

 

I know you were joking, but it was $5 (I spend more on breakfast), and it says 'Rally' in the title

:nuts:

 

I also picked up the first two versions of Flat Out since Ultimate Carnage was pretty good.

[Car Freak]

GM Rally looks... weird.

 

Myself, looking at Audiosurf and DiRT (I have the DVD-ROM but my dad won't let me install it because of Starforce). Most of the other good games there, I have already

[GTAMADDOG]

I've already got everything I'd want to buy apart from a few games which are in packs of games which I already have so I don't think I'll be buying anything from this sale.

[Who]

Audiosurf is the sex. I've got it on disk. Which means i can install it, tehn download it off steam wherever i want, but it also means i can share it and my mates can do the same thing :D It was only £3 in CEX

[Leadfoot[YT]]

GM Rally looks... weird.

 

I was being sarcastic. :cheeky: DON'T BUY IT! (I'm very, very sorry Ryzza, for your imminent suffering. :cheeky: )

[T3hReaper91]

Episodes from liberty city for £9.99

 

Very tempted as my original disk is messed up.

[S71NG3R]

Lead and gold well worth it for £3.40

[mistermojo]

Bought L4D2 for £6.80 yesterday and just got Half Life for £1.19 in the Daily Deals. Tons of bargains to be had here.

 

Unfortunately although the collection offers (Rockstar collection, Valve Complete pack etc) are really good value now, I have half of the games from each pack so it'd be a waste of money getting them. Still, some pretty good deals to be had. (Still waiting for L4D2 to download, been waiting since 8 this morning thanks to my crappy internet :( )

[Ryzza5]

Well, both GM Rally and Flat Out were predictably rubbish. Whoever said GMR had bad physics was wrong; it has no physics.

 

FlatOut2 was ok, but only because it was 95% exactly the same as FlatOut Ultimate Carnage, same cars, tracks, tournaments, AI names, the lot. Only the graphics weren't as HDR'ish as in the 3rd game.

 

Don't buy anything made by '1C Company' - I've got a few of their titles and the only way you could describe them positively is if they were released in 1993... which they weren't. ;)

["Hedge"]

how the heck does that website make money :confused:

[T3hReaper91]

Quite simply. They are normally over priced...

[GTAMADDOG]

Quite simply. They are normally over priced...

 

This, and the fact that the mass reduction in price for the games brings in many more customers which may, and probably does considering Steam's sucess, generate more revenue.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Quite simply. They are normally over priced...

 

Maybe in the UK, but here, they're mostly cheaper than a game on DVD with shipping. Plus, they tend to put popular games on sale more often than stores.

Anyone who has studied accounting will be familiar with the term 'loss-leaders'.

 

Advertise cheap milk on special to your mum, and she'll go to that particular supermarket and buy other stuff while she's there.

 

Sell cheap games on Steam, and they increase their userbase & potential sales for when the new games come out later this year (they're only really selling a license rather than a printed DVD and case + user guide, etc).

 

A lot of those games probably sell for about $10 at the local post office, of which the developers probably only see a similar small amount of money returned to them :)

[T3hReaper91]

Flatout Ultimate Carnage For £1.70

 

If anyone wanna add me on steam then add: t3hr3aper.

[mistermojo]

Got Borderlands earlier, really need to refrain myself, in a way I'm glad it's over tomorrow, I have plenty of games which need completing as it is.

[GTAMADDOG]

I've bought Audisurf and Saints Row 2 so far. Saints Row 2 cost less than Audiosurf which I find quite amusing. It's taking ages to download 15GB, though.

 

I'm also thinking about buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, too. I was going to buy it on release but now it's £10 it's even more appealing.

 

Then I promise to stop spending, honestly :p
