I picked up Hell Yeah for the same price and played it right away, and was totally satisfied. I think I'll do the same with Deadlight.

Yeah, it's a good price for it being semi recent, but I think I want it to hit that $3.75 before I buy it. Gotta make that wallet stretch.

How do you guys shit on this sale so much? Of Course it's not going to be amazing with the winter sale around the corner. Even with that there have been some good deals.

Game is short as heck but I dug the hell out of it on XBLA.

Back when I started seeing sales, it was amazing all the stuff for $4.99. Now I own all that stuff. Lately, prices seem to have been dropping faster on new games and I've been thinking "Wow, that $59.99 game is $18 already? Sold!" so I own those too.

Really, there just isn't a lot of A-List material left that I don't already own so I guess it's harder to get excited. That's not anyone's fault, just the way of things.

That said, the actual Steam sales haven't been that amazing compared to those from other places.

If its anything like last year....it will be the same games at the same prices...maybe a few different ones..but mostly the same if i recall.

How have we not seen Borderlands 2 down yet? I already own it on my 360, but I have just recently done a major PC upgrade and would rather play it on my PC. Unfortunately, I've kind of set my artificial price ceiling at $25 right now since that would essentially mean that I paid "full price" when added to what I paid for the 360 one. Assumed Steam would AT LEAST MATCH Amazon, but right now they are being beat by $15.

Wait for it to be a daily, there's still at least tomorrow left (maybe sunday as well). Also, remember that it's steamworks, so buying it on amazon will just give you a steam key anyway.

There's three more days of dailies so you got eighteen more chances!

I said it before, but the Thanksgiving sale has always been a little weak in comparison to the Summer and Winter sales. And yes, there is a lot of competition for Steam's customers that didn't used to exist. That being said, it is a good time to be a PC gamer.

Part of me is kinda glad that the sale has been a bit lackluster. I had a budget of $700 set aside to buy stuff that I needed this Black Friday. So far I've spent $600 of that. Mostly all on stuff to upgrade my computer. I've only spent $2.50 so far on games (Star Wars KOTOR 2).

I still have a few more things to buy, so I'm not gonna have all that much left from that remaining $100.

Yeah especially consdiering it's hit 50% already, shouldn't be too long before it's at 75%

Quite true.

Having said that... another round of nothing for me!

Was excited to see Trine complete collection at 75% off then disappointed when I saw that Trine 2: Goblin Menace DLC is only 50% off.

Puzzle Kingdoms is under $2. Is it as good as Puzzle Quest? PQ is one of the rare games I own that I actually played- though it was on the iPad so it doesn't really count. I probably wont actually play PK, so it shouldn't matter if it's good or bad. But, I don't want bad games tainting my library.

PK isn't that great but it's ok if you like the genre. Personally my favorite is Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. I'd wait for a better sale though.

Did you note that they take an additional $1 something off of the bundled total so actually if you were to count that they're all 75% or darn close.

For people that have been through it, is the Winter Sale far more enticing then this sale? I've heard conflicting reports.

I picked it up during this last summer sale.

That game was fun. A match game with loot collection and a passable story is a good recipe.

I've got Trine 1 and Trine 2. I'm holding out on playing Trine 2 until I pick up the DLC. If I knew they were planning on making DLC for Trine 2 I would've held out on buying it.

Been doing a lot of my shopping on Amazon during this BF with the $5 coupons. Pretty much everything I bought activates on steam anyway, but I did finally buy Company of Heroes and KOTOR2 for $2.50 from Steam.

Most of the games I'm somewhat interested in have been the same price in every sale for the last year and a half, but Amazon is really doing a good job at getting me to pull the trigger despite my backlog. Magicka & Dungeon Defenders for $2.50 each + a $5 promo code? Normally I'd just wait since it seems like those games are on sale nearly every week, but I couldn't resist.
