I just bought it. I'm looking forward to playing it, although I need to complete BioShock first!

A heads up to anyone who is interested in buying the Bad Company 2 Pack. Instead of buying the pack, you can buy Bad Company 2 and redeem the CD key on EA's Origin to get the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes Vietnam. So, unless you want the Steam version, you get Vietnam for free. chicken-royal, you can do this to get Vietnam.

you dont get the key for vietnam if you just buy bad company 2 and tell the ea downloader you have the deluxe editon , i tried it when i bought bad company 2.

It looks like you're right :/ Vietnam asked for the EA activation code, which I don't have. I'm sorry for misleading people.

I've now uninstalled it. That was a waste of 6GB bandwidth :p I've now bought Vietnam and the Specact DLC on Steam, and am now downloading Bad Company 2.

you could have paused the steam download, copied the files over and verified the game cache, then steam would only download anything missing or different.

I didn't really think of that. That may have worked. Oh well, it doesn't matter too much.

Valve doesn't set prices for the games on their client, publishers do.

Has been said a million times yet people still accuse Valve because well it's Steam. I myself know Valve has nothing to do with third-party prices.

I've picekd up a few good games on this sale, despite already owning over 400 games on my account :)

^ i just picked up darksiders too. now i got something to play after the witcher 2. i am still hoping batman arkham asylum goes as a daily deal though.

It was one of the dail deals the first day I thought? I swore I saw it.

I really need to get out of my whole mentality of playing games on or close to release. Save so, so much money if you just wait a little while.

Some games though I almost just have to play on release, but others I see it is well worth it to wait.

in my head i always know which games i want to get right on release and which ones can be put off till they're cheaper. it's a healthy mix overall, so i do feel like i do more than my fair share of supporting the industry. Steam is usually great for second tier games you may have not been so eager to get day one, and also for replaying stuff from the consoles on PC. gotta love those better graphics!

yes you are right that it was on the first page on the first day, but not as a daily deal. part of the eidos pack where everything is 33% off. I'm waiting for it to actually be a daily deal. Worst comes to worst if it doesn't, i'll buy it for 20 bucks anyways. I really want to get it on PC and replay it before the new one is out.

and yeah i agree, paying full prices for video games, especially on PC with Steam around, is something I am slowly refusing to do nowadays.

and also The Witcher 2 is an amazing PC game (though i play it with my xbox 360 controller...). I got it maxed out and never hits below 30 fps @1920x1080! Definitely a huge improvement over the slowly paced first one...

Hmm. Tempted by Tropico 3... is it worth it?

I found it quite disappointing for the ?15 I paid on release, despite thoroughly enjoying the demo. May be worth a go for a few quid if you are into that kind of game. It wasn't a bad game, just after a few missions I felt like I'd seen everything worth seeing and that my strategy choices were a bit limited. Played the sandbox mode more than the missions.

Just picked up BC2 + DLC for ?9.76 (cheaper individually than in the "pack" :laugh: ) which was a great bargain. A friend and I have been holding out for BF3 (as we currently lack a decent game to play together), but for the price it was hard to resist giving BC2 a go.

I noticed that too. I also bought them individually! :laugh:
