[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

Yeah, when games are this cheap it is hard not to buy them. This Steam sale is one of the best things on the internet ever.

I sometimes wonder if games/dvds were this cheap all the time, if piracy would be no longer and the game manfctrs would make more money too. win win surely.
I'm picking up mass effect for sure. I'm on the fence about the DOOM pack. I've never played Doom 3, but I've heard good things about it. Anyone recommend picking it up?

Edit:

Hmm...After looking at the system requirements it says Vista/7 not supported. Has anyone gotten Doom 3 to run on Windows 7 x64?

Both DOOM 3 and DOOM 3 Resurrection of Evil run on Windows 7 x64.

EDIT: Btw...

I picked up the Doom Collection even though I already had them all retail; I wanted them on Steam as well. Also, my old copies of Ultimate doom/doom II/Final Doom were the Win95 versions, and Steam's are the original DOS versions, so the collector's side of me is happy (even though I'll usually be playing those DOS versions with ZDoom anyways. :p).

I already had Mass Effect; anxiously awaiting for ME2 to be released and for my Collector's Edition pre-order to ship. :D

Everyone who bought Mass Effect, don't forget to pick up your free DLC. http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/galactic...ownthesky.html/

It seems to have installed fine, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

It works fine; I recently completed a playthrough of the Steam version of Mass Effect and both the free Bring Down the Sky DLC and the $5 (from the EA Store) Pinnacle Station DLC installed and worked (for me, anyways) without issue. :)

Aw. Mass Effect on PC is far better than the console offering. I can't play the Xbox 360 version much, but this one is so mcuh easier to play. xD

I feel more in control of my guys and more confident with manually levelling up and such. *shrug* Great game.

Damnit, I'm trying to purchase the Doom Pack put paypal keeps getting refused. I even tried to use my credit card, and even that gets refused.

Yeah, same here. I get an error message, 'There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance'. I'm trying to buy Mass Effect.

It's recommended that you launch the game at least once before installing the DLC.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
