I picked up the three STALKER games. Always been interested in them but the bugs put me off. Got the complete series mods downloaded, so hopefully it'll fix a lot them.

People complaining about the sale being disappointing. It isn't really disappointing because it doesn't have the games you want in the sale or they are not cheap enough. As they have a lot of sales, i've already picked up most of the games i want in past sales. New PC gamers or owners of new rigs will love the sale as they'll probably not have a lot of the decent games in the sale. Fallout NV for ?9 and the DLC for ?4.50 was a bargain.

You also have to be realistic about the sale. As great as they are, you're not going to see Portal 2 in there for a fiver.

Plus it is exciting waiting for the counter to finish and see what new items are in the sale

What happened to the summer sale/camp activities? Steam's store page is back to normal activity :blink:

Was just gonna say the same, steam and steampowered.com do not have the deals listed. It was supposed to be until the 10th wasnt it?

Anyone have any experience with Railworks 2? My son and I love electic trains but just do not have the room right now to build our own scene so I figured we would just get a computer sim for now.

It is on sale this week and the Canadian packs are too but would like to hear if it is any good or not.

Another good Train Sim is the one from Microsoft. Very good Train Simulator but discontinued product.

Railworks 2 was part of one of the deals earlier in the sale. I'd probobly wait in case it goes back on sale as part of an encore or something.

I am on the wall on The Sims 3. I noticed it stays ?50 for the last few times it was on sale. I think this time they added their latest expansion in as well The Sims 3 Generations.

There's a new expansion coming along - the Sims 3 Pets. So since I have more 105 games of which I have only finished 10 - 20 of them... I'm wondering if it's worth adding more to the collection, or whether I should wait for the Christmas sale for the new discounted price and new expansion.

This is great! I didnt realise this was going on shame I've missed what looks like some great deals.

Just picked up Batman GOTY and Left4Dead 2 as I never played either!

Now I just have to complete Braid and then get Limbo when its released and i'm complete.

So are there new deals every day?

Yes, until the 10th.

The last day's deals will most likely be the best selling deals from the previous days.

    • 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      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. Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      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.
