2011 Steam Autumn Sale: DEAD :(

Man some really lame sales this time around. Hopefully Xmas will be better.

well, I never buy games at full price and on release (such a dumb thing to do these days), so I think there are some great sales here.

You can get all of New Vegas for ~$15? that is pretty damn amazing
 
Agreed. Some amazing sales. A lot I already owned, and a lot I was looking to buy has come on sale. If I didn't have so many games on my plate already I would have picked up Deus Ex, Dead Island, and Rage as well, but I'm so overwhelmed with releases right now I can wait until they're less than $20.
 
I've never used Amazon before for downloading games. Do you need a special amazon client to get the game, or can I activate on Steam?

There is no client just a simple downloader. Amazon also promises unlimited installs and you can even install in all the systems you own.

TW2 is not a steamworks game.. so no, you cannot activate it using steam.

Also, you get OST, game guide and developer dairies(Part of the Digital Premium edition).
 
I'll probably get LIMBO, but I'm not sure about others. I already own The Witcher (1 and 2). I'm tempted to pick up some of the Rainbow Six games as I've been playing them since the original by Red Storm. 😀
 
Picked up LIMBO and Witcher 1. Heard a ton of great things on both so hopefully they live up to the hype. Also bought a copy of Witcher 1 for my cousin. For so cheap and supposed to be a long game, no brainer.

I'll bite on Splinter Cell Conviction. Less than $10 the for game and all the DLC. That makes like 8 games so far this week, and I've only installed one so far. Not played, just installed.
 
In for the Witcher and Limbo. I'll get the witcher 2 when I finish the Witcher or when it gets under $15 on steam whichever comes first.
 
You should be collecting a commission from Valve for all the games you've made me buy XD.

I'm a Steamwhore. Disregard everything I say. 😛

By the way, $11 and change bought me:

Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Kane and Lynch: Dead men
LIMBO

And this is why I love Steam sales. $2.50 games, fuck yeah.
 
Already bought Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 and now I'm in for LIMBO and Witcher. Looks like I'll have something to do at work now 😉.
