Since the world is ending tomorrow, went ahead and charged everything on Steam to my credit card Now, time to open an Amazon card.

The Steam Winter sale is much slower than the Steam Summer Sale. 24 hour cooldowns on community votes? Flash deals that pretty much last all day. Dailies that last a day and a half...

Weaksauce.

It's been 50% off before; I would be very surprised if it didn't hit at least 50, but more likely 66% off.

Scribblenauts its getting a 75% sale on 12/24 through 12/26 on amazon!

I'm not really happy with the way this sale is set up. I think having the community choice go on sale right away followed up by another vote would work much better. I'd also have an additional set of flash sales throughout the day.

There will be new Daily Deals every day. It's just you will also be able to buy the old daily deals tomorrow too. Kinda like how they did the Autumn sale.

Hopefully these new flash deals are worth me staying up the extra half hour.

Can I gift money on Steam? Or does it have to be individual games? Trying to search their website now....but I'm an extremely lazy XMAS shopper and am trying to send some Steam money to my brother so he can get some things off the Steam sale without his wife nowing

OMG. Can it be? That would make it 7.5$ are they f'ing insane? It doesn't look like its steam though. :/ Nope. RPS mentions Steamworks so I think we're good to go. Totally holding out.

Hell, even I might have to buy it at that price.

This is a Steam thread. Answer should be obvious.

Cossacks and American Conquest Pack for $4.99 is a pretty good deal.

Biggest ripoff on Steam?

No, but you can buy Steam Wallet gift codes and send them to him. Gamestop and Best Buy sell them, but only in-store.

Reviews point to it registering on Steam. Definitely buying this.

Wow. My friend who bought it at full price in preparation for a new year's party is going to feel like even more an idiot. I'm sold at 75% off.

It requires Steamworks -- says so at the bottom of the Amazon page.

No, you can't do that. The best you can do is buy the games for him and gift them to him. But then, you did say you were lazy...

Do both of you have Paypal accounts? That might be the easiest way.

The Amazon page specifically says "Requires Steam Client to activate."
