Finishes on the 3rd I think.

Exactly finishes on 3rd. 24hrs from now is the 3rd. If there is another deal tomorrow it would mean it is ending on the 4th?

'Great deals throughout the store - up to 80% off through January 3rd!'

I read that as 'daily deals up until January 3rd, US time'.

In other words: There should be another set of deals tomorrow.

Morrowinds awful, I don't get why people prefer it to oblivion. It's so clunky and muffled. :p

Hopefully tomorrows final deals will actually be good.

The steam news post:

Just two more days of great savings. In addition to the publisher packs and catalog discounts throughout the store, here are the one-day-only deals for today:

Infers there will be deals again tomorrow.

It's cheap and in a downloadable format for anyone who played the game for tens or even hundreds of hours. It's a "vintage" pc game with one of the strongest mod communities ever to grace a game.

These have been reduced in price as well:

Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising

Not sure when that happened, but it wasn't the case a week ago.

I tried to buy Mass Effect about an hour and a half before the deal ended, and Steam gave me an error in paying, either by credit card or Paypal. And I kept trying until the deal ended :/ I should have bought it yesterday. A bit annoying, but I can wait until a similar deal for it comes along.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for $10.19 USD. Damn you Valve, damn you to hell.

[rageagainstmachine]

plus it still says "get a new set of deals when the timer reaches zero"

fingers crossed the finale is better than todays deals.

[That Guy Veteran]

Bugger, just missed the Mass Effect sale.

Oh well, my bank balance can have a breather until tommorow :p

[tsupersonic]

Just got my credit card bill, and for the past few days, the only thing that's there is Valve Software lol.

[Kronir]

Eh, I went ahead and picked up Morrowind; can't go wrong at that price. Great game. :D

[LOC Veteran]

Gonna pick up the Painkiller collection later. I was gonna buy Painkiller Black Edition yesterday, glad I waited lol

Morrowwind is now mine.

Kinda mad. I bought the Crysis pack.. and it keeps doing this:

The GPU is overclocked too much.

Or there's not enough PSU power for it.

One of the two.

Isn't it possible to use the 360 controller with Mass Effect, do you need to do something special to get it working?

I actually had that same exact problem with a game on Steam cause my PC did not like the Nvidia drivers I was using. Was simple as that. I went back to the last older version and problem solved. I then installed the newer ones again and never had the error message again. So seemed to be just a weird little bug.

Also with that said, if that is your screenshot and not just one you found of the error message, I could not help but notice it seems like you are using older drivers if that is the version number of your drivers. They are officially on 195 for WHQL. Might want to see what happens if you update your drivers.

Damn, that is actually pretty cool. I love how much care the community puts into making mods for the Elder Scrolls games. Reminds me of all the mods and texture packs that came out for Oblivion as well.

I just saw Red Alert 3 for $10.19. That is certainly tempting, even if I will inevitably get destroyed online :).

Looks to me like the old nvlddmkm error is rearing its head again

My 8800GT had this problem 2 weeks ago when it died. Getting that error in the screenshot, random blue screens, and tons of artifacts when trying to load any game/3D application. It eventually got worse and was locking up my PC and i was getting artifacts on my desktop. Temporarily installed a 9400GT and everything works fine, same drivers.

Got approved for an RMA from eVGA, so just waiting on a replacement. ;)

The last day is a repeat of some other deals from previous days. Lame ending to the sale I think.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Well that's a bummer
