Got a 50% off a valve game coupon. Though I have every game I could care about besides Portal 2 but its gonna need to get cheaper then $30 for me to get it.

Portal 2 is on sale for $7.50.

Too bad I've got no money right now, there's a few things I've wanted for a long while! :(

Wow their "epic holiday giveaway" is absolutely huge, the grand prize is every single game on steam! :woot: Whoever gets to win that is very lucky indeed!

So, what have people here won so far? I won Half-Life 2 (already own it) and 25% off THQ games. Personally, I think the coupons are kind of useless since they have to be used after the sale and the games are already on discount more than the value of the coupons :/ Would be nice if there was a ubisoft coupon so I can pick up AC Revelations.

Same here!

Unlocked the Orcs Must Die! achievement too, but haven't got a second gift yet. :/

Apparently, if you view your backpack in TF2, Portal 2 or Spiral Knights it will refresh your inventory. Also, You're supposed to get 2 gifts with the first (look at your inventory) achievement. I only have that one achievement and got 2 gifts.

Hmm, weird. I've only got the one gift, and I just tried refreshing the inventory the way you suggested.

Inventory is kind of funky atm, I've traded valve discount codes from my other accounts to the main one and they seemed to have disappeared, only to return later.

Yeah, it's definitely acting up at the moment. I just did a trade with someone to get a gift copy of PAYDAY: The Heist, and it's not showing up in my inventory.

Ahh, the price we pay for the awesome sales... :/

Oops, I left out a step. You also have to move something in your backpack.

Not really, Fable 3 is quite disappointing. Especially if you liked Fable II.

It is short, easy and not very fun to play at all.

I got coal and 33% off Valve. I own all of Valve's games so kinda pointless. Oh well guess what my brother will be getting for Christmas? :laugh:

OK, my casulties on the first day... :p

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
