2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

So far all I bought was Transformers: War for Cybertron and Kane & Lynch 2. Gonna pick up New Vegas + DLC today, and I'll wait till the end to pick up the Valve complete pack, just in case it drops any lower (I doubt it though). So far the sale has been pretty easy on my wallet. :cool:

First Steam Sale it looks like I am not going to purchase anything. I still have a back log of games to catch up on, and anything I was interested in in this sale I have already played. No biggie, historically speaking I always tend to purchase the most during the Winter Sale anyway.

I wish they would have offered Battlefield 3 pre-order with notable discount..but there still has hope :rolleyes:

the game isn't even on steam and there is no news yet that it ever will be (though it would only make sense that it would...) effin EA and their origin site.

Man, this is nuts. Purchased "Serious Sam HD: Gold Edition", just to get the achievement in "Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter" for the one extra summer ticket :unsure:

That is nuts. With the millions of people on steam, one extra ticket will hardly increase your odds of winning. I'm only getting the free tickets and the ones from games I already own. :blink:

Edit: Also, I still have Crysis 2 on my wishlist, if I won, would I still get a copy, even if it's not for sale on steam anymore :laugh:

But you also get dlcs/games of your choosing from the available options using three tickets for each. Already grabbed myself the sunglasses for TF2 and the upcoming map pack for Homefront.

And still gott he tickets remained in the jar after, so I think I'm still up for the chance to win the big prize (no matter how small my chances are) using those six tickets.

Personally I don't see much DLC that interests me. If you do the free tickets everyday (assuming future days will have free tickets also) You'll get 10 tickets without having to purchase anything.

watch out for Defense Grid...good game but gets really tough towards the end, i could never finish it.

I've already got it on the 360 and have beaten it, but it's such a good TD game and at $5 for the game and all 4 DLC map packs, I couldn't say no, if for no other reason than to support Hidden Path.

But what else you're gonna spend those tickets on? And just because there's going to be a free ticket option, doesn't mean you'll get it for sure.

For example I couldn't get one on July 1st, because I don't have a Facebook account.

    • 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the 2TB WD_Black SN7100 internal solid-state drive at its lowest price in over three months, so you may want to check it out, if you have been considering a storage upgrade, before the deal dries up (purchase link is toward the end of the article). Featuring a PCIe Gen 4.0 interface and M.2 2280 form factor, the SN7100 promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and sequential write speeds reaching 6,900MB/s, offering as much as a 35% improvement in performance compared with the previous generation. It also achieves random read speeds of 1,000,000 IOPS and random write speeds of 1,400,000 IOPS. The drive uses Western Digital’s TLC 3D NAND technology for reliable performance and is further supported by a five-year limited warranty. It also offers strong endurance, rated at up to 1,200TBW, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and high-speed recording. Moreover, its DRAM-less architecture claims to improve power efficiency (the SSD relies on system memory for caching via HMB), while the WD_Black Dashboard software enables users to monitor drive health, install firmware updates, and activate Game Mode for potentially better performance. Finally, it operates within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, and can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD: $242.96 (Amazon US) Check this deal out if you want a 4TB option.

    • Hopefully this will fix the issue of no sound I have since last months stupid, and non-removable, Microsoft Corporation AudioProcessingObject Driver Update (1.0.3.56670)
    • It IS confusing! What channel are you in on each device? I'm guessing your 16GB device is on Experimental (formerly known as Dev) and your 128GB is on Beta.
    • 100 for the base game , 120 for pre release with bonus unlocked content (a pair of boil washed underpants for Trevor)
