[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

I guess I see that if someone missed a sale, this is a good chance to pick up the "best of." However I'm a little personally annoyed about Left 4 Dead 2, it's "on sale" today for the same price it has been the entire holiday sale. I'd been waiting hoping to get a little more of a discount, but I'll grab it today. I also would have loved to see some small token discount ($5 even?) on MW2. Thing of it is, I've gotten so many other games over the past two weeks, that I might not need to get MW2 at all now! :)

It was a good run though. im sure lots of you guys picked up more games than you'll get around to playing. :lol:

Yep, you're right there. I picked up Star Wars KOTOR, and the id Super Pack (which has 22 titles in total), and I probably won't get around to play all of them, but it's because my graphics card isn't in my PC. :p I just need to get a modern power supply and then I can use it again.

My only regret is not buying C & C 3 or the Civilization series.

In the end I bought:

Prey

Left 4 Dead 1

Crysis Pack

Mass Effect

Horror games dont appeal to me so I'm not buying Killing Floor or STALKER.

I still want to buy a modern game but L4D's Co-Op gameplay doesnt appeal to me and I'm not paying $60 for MW 2. :p

I was hoping to see Modern Warfare 1 get 50% off today to go along with my World at War bargain, but oh well. I went ahead and picked up Ghostbusters today, and Counter-Strike: Source before the deals changed.

I was thinking of picking up a couple other games, but I've spent enough money. :p

Final List was:

Defense Grid

Star Wars: Jedi Knight pack (Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy)

Empire: Total War

Rome: Total War Gold

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

Deus Ex: GOTY Edition

Braid

Audiosurf

Battlefield 2 Collection

World in Conflict / World in Conflict: Soviet Assault

Dead Space

Jade Empire

Call of Duty: World at War

Max Payne

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Half-Life: Source

Doom Collection (Ultimate Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, Master Levels, Doom 3, Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil)

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY

Counter-Strike: Source

Ghostbusters

:D

I was tempted by the Civilization IV pack, but didn't go for it in the end, as I'm not really a big fan of the PC ones. The console version (Civilization Revolution) is my favourite.

    • Excuse me, but where did I say they need to subsidize them? I'm simply pointing out they would rather have profits over caring about the impact to the consumer. It's up to you to decide then.
    • Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.
    • XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
