It's that time of the year again: The Steam Holiday Sale has started. Today's deals:

oh lord. not another Steam sale :blush: :pinch: :D

[Lingwo]

I like how Scribblenauts is in the sale but in the UK, you can't buy it yet :laugh:

Hitman Absolution with 50% off is pretty good.

[Lewism]

Please do not rape my wallet again.

[Pupik]

If anyone needs another guy for a four-pack buy of Natural Selection 2; I'm up for it. It's on 60% off now (7.5 bucks a copy).

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

Hoping Hotline Miami goes on sale even more, will definitely pick it up if it does.

To bad Far Cry 3 was not part of the Ubisoft bundle either, if it was, would have strongly considered picking it up since AC III is also in there as well.

[ahhell]

$90 for the Bethesda pack?? LOL...nice "deal".

$90 for the Ubisoft one?? WTF?

This is the worst sale that I've seen yet.

[Pupik]

Recommended tip for the sale period: Go to http://www.steamgamesales.com/ and then unselect every digital store except Steam from the list and order by savings.

Some nice hidden sales there.

I had to End Process as it lagged it so bad. Great idea, awful execution. Do not load the entire damn database on one page. And if it turns out they were not (I never did get to see it in action) then it is horribly coded. Really good idea for a site, as I said, horrible execution.

Here's another way. Less of a resource hog.

Probably system related and not the site. Loads silky smooth over here without any issues on Firefox 17.0.1, even with some crap running in the background.

smooth here as well, on a core 2 duo with 2gb of ram workstation. It's my crappy work computer.

No lags for me....Chromium on Ubuntu 12.10

[Rigby]

The daily deals last two days? That's not daily.

Like in the thanksgiving sale they'll likely be replaced by new deals at the normal time(10am pst/1pm est), but will continue to be available at that price till the next day.

Used Chrome on my PC... noticed zero lag, had zero interruption. Maybe they've changed the way it's loaded, or maybe it is a Firefox issue.

Same here, I'm not expecting day 2 to be much better

BUT I am hoping for xcom to be going cheap at some point. Amazon has it for ?13 so Steam will have to do better

[mattmatik]

Dammit I wish Mass Effect was still on Steam. Would love to buy the Trilogy, but not for the 60 ducats on Origin.

The daily deal lasts for 2 days so that everybody gets at least one day to buy them, if they were just up for 24 hours then they would be removed too quickly for users in Hawaii or so.

Funnily enough saw these yesterday and picked one up, it's the usual print it on a receipt thing but a good idea.
