Is there any chance of MW3 being discounted? Or is the game simply too hot to be included in the sale?

It's not a case of the game being "too hot" (Batman Arkham City got discounted yesterday), it's a sad case of Activision's greediness. They will keep their games as expensive as they can until the bitter end. You usually have to wait at least six months to see a noticeable discount, but more than likely a year.

Yeah. I just read the explanation you gave yesterday. Edited my post, but was too slow to it. :p

Also, another year has gone by. What ever the **** happened to HL2: E3/HL3! Man, I hope we get some conclusion next year.

Can you nuke yourself in decfon to get santa?

you can't nuke your cities no, you might be able to get him in transit though you can launch nukes into your own area just not in a city but you will have to be quick about it.

I'm still looking for portal 2, have DotA 2 and 2 coal.

You want Portal 2 for DOTA2? If so I'd like to trade providing it's the full game. I also have a buttload of coupons if your interested in case you want something more than Portal 2 for DOTA2.

It says "Hardware Survey", but it's the full game. All the game drops are full games, unless it's specifically stated as just being a weekend pass.

The only things I am really hoping to get is either Fallout 3 (GOTY), Fallout NV, TES: IV Oblivion (GOTY - Missed the daily deal for it) or TES: V Skyrim :(

Steam has only given me a lump of coal and a -33% and -50% Valve Coupon.

If you get both oblivion and skyrim, make sure to not play Skyrim before Oblivion, as you will never be able to return to Oblivion after playing the magic that is Skyrim.

It was not even ten or fifteen minutes since you posted when I offered. Did the person PM you? I don't see any post where anyone stated they would trade with you.

I always seem to miss out. Even on that Steam gifts website I never seem to win anything no matter how many entries. In fact nothing ever turns in my favor, guess that it's just my family is endowed with ****ty luck. :(

Anyone else have a DOTA2 Hardware Survey (Full game) they are willing to trade for Portal 2, Left4Dead 2, coupons?

Ok, just worked out a trade for my copy of DotA 2. Now I get to play another DotA clone I've never played before to get another achievement lol.

Good luck with that. I had been trying all day to play it, but the game is badly hosted and when I finally got it updated I can't even register. I gave up and deleted it... screw it.

Isn't DoTA just in beta at the moment?

Sorry man, I may not be checking forum post but I see every new e-mail on my phone which is how I saw the PM. And I did post in this thread yesterday about offering DotA 2.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
