The Cheapest NBN 1000 Plans
Looking to bump up your internet connection and save a few bucks? Here are the cheapest plans available.
It begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hitman so tempting, but am holding out for Far Cry 3, I Am Alive, Dead Light, Mark of the Ninja and Sleeping Dogs. Stuff you family I’m getting myself Xmas presents.
So far form this sale I have…. reinstalled Mirror’s Edge for another replay and getting ready to play some more BL2, but in co-op with a mate who just got it.
Wish I’d waited. I HATE that I can’t activate a retail code on steam.
Worse still I HATE that i have to install ANOTHER DRM program (uPlay) to play..
Historically, CoD never gets the Steam sale treatment. You might get 25% off. I wouldn’t expect much more of a discount than that unfortunately.
blops 2 is a Steamworks game from memory, so you can purchase retail (ie. import) and activate it on steam.
My one question for Gabe: why do steam sales start the day after payday? Every. Single. Time.
Happy coincidences. Was looking for a last second gift for my partner!
But seriously, they probably did some research into this, especially with regards to spending habits of consumers. For all we know, there could be a ‘common pay schedule’ that has been discovered with regards to this form of cycle. Would make sense, spend all your hard eared cash on goods before you have the chance to spend it on silly things like rent/mortgage, bills, food

There is already some great deals the indie super mega pack is a great deal and if i didn’t already have 70% of the games i would buy it. I’m waiting to see how much further some of the games i’m after come down, best deal so far to me seems to be both Batman Arkham Asylum and City for about $12.50 will be gifting that to a friend or two.
Viewing the steam site on my iPad, and most of the links have the incorrect picture on them… Fail
Best Deal so far is the THQ Collection for $25. Obvious buy if you don’t already own 90% of it. Heck, it’s still a good buy for me even for the two games I don’t already have on there.
I suspect a lot of people would already own most of the THQ games, from the Humble Bundle a few weeks ago.
Yeah, exactly. I got the bundle and I’d bought the THQ collection a couple of years ago as well. Just Darksiders 2 and Space Marine that I don’t own.
Ill buy walking dead for my sister and brother in law if it becomes cheap enough. They don’t normally play “those sort of games” but I think this one is different to other adventure games.
Damn it, between GoG’s end of the world sale and Valve’s holiday sale,
