You can use an american address for people outside the US.

Amazon sales are great all year round. Each week they have a bargain or two.

I just picked up xcom from gamefly.co.uk (registers on Steam) for ?14.99. I can't see steam during their sale offer more than 50% off the game.

I think Amazon is having a better sale and you get Steam Keys.

Scribblenauts unlimited went down to $20 on steam for the daily sale deal and its $7.49 on Amazon. Max Payne 3 is $14.99 also.

Think I'll get MP3, that's a much better deal than I saw on Steam. Thanks.

Finally, Assassin's Creed 3 is on sale. I was prepared to pay full price, but 25% off is not too shabby for a new game. For the first time in a long time I haven't bought much during this sale. The only other game I bought is I Am Alive. I usually buy at least 10 or so games, but with all the recent Humble Bundles I have more than enough games to last me a while.

Wish I could afford it right now. :/

Well now I have it and two other games (Faster Than Light and GTA: IV), thanks to a deal on Reddit. Basically traded my Soldier Service Medal (only 11,111 were given out to people via a hidden web page awhile ago) from TF2 for them, basically sold it for $20......better than letting it sit in my TF2 inventory.

You guys should have bought Witcher 2 from GOG, it was 75% a week or so ago, plenty of extras, no DRM and no 1$=1? bull****.. You can still get it 60% off (12$).

You get all the extras through Steam as well, it's under the Tools category, labeled "The Witcher 2: Bonus Content". I haven't installed it but from what I read, it was 900 MB of bonus content BEFORE the bonus videos. As far as DRM, I use Steam for a majority of my games (currently sitting at 34 games now)....it can be considered DRM, but its 1 DRM for the 34 games I can install through it, so I don't personally view it like 99% of other DRM out there (online requirements, installation limitations, etc).

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.

brilliant site! bought Deux Ex: Human revolution and Far Cry franchise (funny that all 3 games separated were cheaper than in the bundle).

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

      The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
