Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes is only 50% off on steam for the sale right now, but is only $9.99 (75  off) at Gamer's Gate.

The DLC however is down to $2.49 a piece on Steam. 

 

[Nohbdy]

Really? I remember a game or 2 being in a few Humble Bundles, but never all of them for a weekly.

BEAT and RUNNER, yes. But a complete collection isn't going to happen until FLUX gets released.

No more loyalty discount. 80% + 33% Would have been nice.

 

[dmendro]

Are there any recommendations for something cheap to wet my whislte on while I wait for Star Citizen (i.e. a Wing commander type Space sim that's actually fun).

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

It's fun, certainly worth 2 dollars.

I 100% it if that helps. It's PvZ level fun IMO.

 

[RCheeze]

Something is wrong with your link, takes me to the page for Limbo

That's bizarre. When I click on it it takes me to that game's page. I'm going to blame Chrome for this.

Just be sure to search NightSky since it's once word. Been waiting for that game to go on sale for a while.

 

[walkonshadows]

went to bed at 5 a.m.

instructed fiancee to wake me up at 9:50 a.m. PT

she asked why. I told her there might be a price mistake. she told me I have problems.

WELL HAHA NOW WHO IS DROOLING ON WHO WHILE WHO GETS THE SEXY PRICE MISTAKE ON THE SEASON PASS

WHO I ASK

My condolences on your future divorce (you deserved better anyhow)

0.54 EUR

I guess this is still more than would have gotten from cards I used to craft it :/

Thought highest sold was probably around 4.xx€ so someone was in hurry.

Will buy again on last day for 0.1€ if needed

 

[Neuro5i5]

I got Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (which is still a preorder) and the purchase did not count towards getting a badge, only the other two games I bought with it.

None of my purchases (which were all DLC) have added to me getting a globe.

 

[ninjaculate]

My condolences on your future divorce (you deserved better anyhow)

I can forgive her non-CAG-friendly ways because she's a chef. that cancels out pretty much every single relationship issue

plus I saw her selling steam cards yesterday. brought a happy tear to my eye

 

[Motiv]

So this Winter Holiday Sale 2013 will last from December 19th to January 3rd. "2000" games will be on sale during this period. Wow. This seems like it could be the longest Steam sale of it's kind.

Since they're are 10 Snow Globe cards:

1) Assassin's Creed IV

2) Dota 2

3) Outlast

4) Payday 2

5) Warframe

6) Stanley Parable

7) Rogue Legacy

8) Football Manager

9) Surgeon Simulator

10) XCOM

I think we can expect to see each one of those games featured in a Daily Special for the next 10 days starting tomorrow (most likely).

 

[Neuro5i5]

Yay, I was able to mark of 1 spot on my bingo card (not counting the free space).

 

[Shifty Effect]

Wooho just got on and see the sales started. What you guys want out of the CC? Ill vote for whatever you guys want, not much for me there.

 

[Foxhack]

... I think they turned off the loyalty discount for the sale. These sorts of discounts cause issues on Steam - like with Rising Storm, it was impossible to buy it when Red Orchestra 2 had that weekend sale.

 

[Solid-Snake-Eyes]

I'm surprised Assassin's Creed is a part of this, due to Ubisoft being the worst. It'd be cool if they would add Steam cards and achievements to their games for once.

 

[xanchui]

Sold 2 cards so far, takes forever for mine to show up though =(

Have tons I can craft though, so hopefully prices stay > $1 for now

 

[Shifty Effect]

Bioshock infinite season pass is $4.99. Has to be a mistake.

? I don't see any dlc or the pass on sale. $19.99 for season pass. wtf.

 

[sunasun]

Bioshock infinite season pass is $4.99. Has to be a mistake.

Instabought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so glad I was actually on the steam page for a change instead of on here.

I have a feeling our bingo cards will be woefully inadequate. I have 0 marks so far

ummmm, I don't think I ever got my bingo cards.

it, I got Bioshock Infinite Season Pass for less than an Indie Royale bundle.

Bioshock Infinite Season Pass was fixed. Congrats to everyone that got it!

thank you

I can rest happy knowing that I snagged a Steam sale glitch on a game that I actually want to play.

same here, freaking awesome to actually be home during a price glitch

Had the Bioshock Infinite Season pass in my cart at paypal checkout and got an error. Came back and price was changed. Who do I call at Valve to bitch out????

this guy

To Do List
Buy a glitched sale price item - Check

My Winter Sale is now complete.

Mine too, even if I buy nothing else, I'm happy I got Bioshock:Infinite Season Pass 75% off for a game I've actually been playing and enjoying.

...was hoping Magicka would be a daily.

thanks, now I don't feel so bad for eating your entire family for lunch

Well, you know...can't believe everything your mother tells you. :lol:

wow, you're standards must be really low.

Did you just offer to give Jakenome a handjob?

Well, it is the season of giving.

New Humble Weekly: Puppy Games.

https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly

I now have two spare Humble gift links for Revenge of the Titans and Titan Attacks. Ask for them here and they're yours. One per person.

All gone!

 

[Captain Urahara]

I now have two spare Humble gift links for Revenge of the Titans and Titan Attacks. Ask for them here and they're yours. One per person.

I actually don't have Titan Attacks. Wow. Care to fire one my way? Thanks!

Papers, Please better hit 75%+ off this sale. AVGN Adventures better hit 75%+ off too. And if I can get Deadly Premonition Director's Cut for <$10 I'll be happy.

 

[facls]

None of my purchases (which were all DLC) have added to me getting a globe.

Must be a glitch then.

 

[dmendro]

GO HOME DINOSAURS!!!

I'm sure this is fun, but it's missing the before mentioned Wing Commander type genre. I have a shiny new HOTUS Flight Stick I want to use!

 

[spoderman]

None of my purchases (which were all DLC) have added to me getting a globe.

Same here.

 

[Bort_]

They removed the discount on all the Bioshock Infinite DLC, kek.

 

[Captain Urahara]

I bought an actual game as a gift just after the sale started and sent it off. Didn't count towards cards even though it said it would. System is still borked now?

 

[Foxhack]

Sent you Titan Attacks. ROTT is still available!

 

[Motiv]

Well, I was able to mark 2 games off on my 1st CAG Bingo card.

Don't worry though, unless Go Home Dinosaur, Beyond Good & Evil, and Frozen Synapse pop up you're all safe. Haha... I think each round will last quite a while.

A big thanks to Travathian for the work and setup.

 

[ninjaculate]

If the sale ends Jan. 3, why do the game pages say "Sale ends Jan. 2"

 

[Captain Urahara]

Sent you Titan Attacks. ROTT is still available!

Many thanks!

 

[Mooby]

Titan Attacks gone?!?! Nooooooooo.

 

[sunasun]

found this on ifixit

Hi, can I have it? Thanks!

 

[DPsycho]

Grabbed the two Pinball FX 75% off offerings (which did appear to count toward my money spent during the sale, btw).  Wasn't home in time for the BI Season Pass, but I haven't bought the base game yet and don't want to until I've restarted and actually beaten Bileshark, so that's just as well.

 

[wolve]

I bought 3 copies of Monaco, two as gifts to friends. I could have bought the 4-pack, but oh well. Spending more earns more snow globes anyways. 

 

[Foxhack]

Hi, can I have it? Thanks!

It's on its way.

 

[hal]

Sounds like I'd be better off trying to play Bioshock 1 again first, which I had always intended to do. Infinite goes on sale so often that I can probably pick it up for cheap at almost any time. Thanks.

Despite the possibility that you may be disappointed with Infinite after playing the original, you should, by all means, start at the beginning. It isn't necessary, but you will definitely appreciate the parallels that are presented in Infinite if you do.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/216090/

hmm, Go Home Dinosaurs is $2 (80%). if only there were someone here to recommend it...

Yeah, it's a cute TD game. It's not my favorite in the genre, but it's easily accessible and worth a play if you like those types of games.

 

[soulkyo]

It's on its way.

Thanks for that!

 

[swift17]

Anybody have thoughts on Dishonored GOTY Edition at $13.59? I'm somewhat new to Steam sales and I've read BigSpoonyBard's guide along with a few others but I'm curious if this will be cheaper later. Reason I ask is that the base game was $3.19 apparently on Steam two weeks ago according to SteamGameSales.com.

 

[annihilator]

I would say your safe playing it with out playing the other two. They are not connected directly per say, but nods are made back to them. I think you'll be fine.

Oh, I do believe MysterD would disagree with you.

I've got a feeling I'll miss out on future price glitches for at least half of the sale. Stuck house/pet sitting for a family member who isn't coming back till Monday. She has some of the slowest internet on the planet. I think it would be faster if I mailed Valve a check for the games I wanted.

The Bioshock glitch lasted a good twenty minutes, so I'd say you've still got a chance.

Well, I was able to mark 2 games off on my 1st CAG Bingo card.

Don't worry though, unless Go Home Dinosaur, Beyond Good & Evil, and Frozen Synapse pop up you're all safe. Haha... I think each round will last quite a while.

I only got Stanley Parable. You guys better hope Sam and Max, Witcher, and Strike Suit Zero don't pop up!

 

[Stry-ker]

These sales make me happy to be part of the PC Master Race ;P

Only got Balance of the Force Pinball table so far.  Trying to show SOME restraint!

Anyway, if you haven't added me on steam feel free to.  Always looking to increase steam friends especially my CAG family.

That $3.19 was a price glitch. Barring that happening again (which it didn't) Dihonored is likely as low as it will go for this sale.

 

[Nemo_Hyde]

Seeing as we know the sales (minus glitches) are the same as the Autumn sale, does anyone have a list of the prices for stuff from the Autumn sale so we know what DID NOT get a daily/flash discount?

For instnace, I know that Lego Marvel did not get a flash/daily sale a few weeks ago, so that should be one.

 

[swift17]

Thanks Neuro! Appreciate the quick reply.

Another dumb question but what's this Steam Bingo card business about.

 

[Zipomatic2]

Glad I grabbed Bioshock Infinite's season pass when it was $5, I usually miss out on the glitches. yay!

 

[Neuro5i5]

Thanks Neuro! Appreciate the quick reply.

It's actually CAG Bingo. A super secret society of Steam supporting sycophants.

It's interesting because the base game was $10 during the summer sale, but the DLC was much cheaper then. Now the base game is $7.50 and the DLC is more expensive. All in all though $13 for the whole thing is till $3 cheaper than the summer sale.

Bioshock Infinite + Season Pass for 3.99 out of pocket, this has been a great holidays so far.

love me steam cards moneys

For instnace, I know that Lego Marvel did not get a flash/daily sale a few weeks ago, so that should be one.

Don't have a list for you but, in regards to Lego Marvel specifically, Amazon will have that game for $11.99 between 12/24 and 12/26 (and also 1/1 through 1/3). Unless there's a price glitch, I wouldn't expect it to be more than 50% off in Steam's holiday sale.

EDIT: I misread your post as asking for a list of games that were not on sale. Detruire made a wonderful post chronicling the Autumn sale here.

Now I'm not sure whether it's worth updating the OP since no one reads it.
