Damnit I can already feel my wife's fingers closing in on my throat with thunders of "you spent WHAT?!" echoing in the air . . ..

Regardless, getting Oblivion GOTY today; played years ago, but it's worth getting again fo' sho'.

Don't forget that there are typically recap days during the sales. A 10 day sale might have two recap days. I'd imagine that Witcher 2 would be included in the recap day.

I'm tempted to pick up Witcher 2 as well!

That's true, I forgot about those. Of course those recap sales are rarely BETTER than the original. Especially something that's still new.

I think The Witcher 2 was worth $50 so if anybody's interested at all I'd jump now just in case it's not on a recap. If it's repeated I don't see it being a better deal.

I think the recap is for all those people (like myself) who mull about a certain game and miss the chance for dilly-dallying for too long. Of course then as soon as it passes you (and I) kick yourself in the ass for not taking it . . ..
 
Well MOH does give you beta access to BF3...

Anyone want to split a 4 pack of borderlands goty? I just need one person. It's 22.50 / 4 = 5.62 per copy.

Told my friend about Borderlands being on sale.... I keep telling him he should get it, but $7.50 is hard to pass up. 😉 Would just buy it for him if he had an account.

Tell me more about that...it looked OK but the screens didn't capture my interest.

also, how good are the Force Unleashed 1 and 2? I want to get Empire at War, trying to think if the Pack is worth it.

i already have KOTOR CDs from 2004 if that factors into anyone's response, lol.

Empire at War is horrible. I remember when that was released, i really wanted it. waited many years.

Finally bought it during the last X-Mas sale, or sometime around that. I got to maybe the 2nd battle and simply can't finish it. the mechanics are clunky and amateurish. The RTS bits are absolute garbage if you ask me.

Yeah, you can actually just send to an e-mail address regardless of whether or not there's a Steam account there. I just don't want to send it to one of his random e-mails. 😛

Borderlands doesnt wanna run. Keeps messing up. Hate to delete and reinstall. Takes like 4 hours.

Go into Borderland properties in Steam; Local files - verify integrity of game files .. it has saved my as .. me, time, on several occasions

Is the Steam sale the reason why I don't currently have a Remove button on my wishlist? There were some games I wanted before, but didn't look at ratings, and now that they are on sale I did and there's no way in hell I'd buy. The First Templar looked good when it first appeared on Steam but it's got both a 56 metacritic and a 4 on IGN lol. And as of this moment I can't remove it.

The remove link is there. It is right after the Added on xxxxx date right under the games title and above the Links box
 
A heads up to everyone that is interested.

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines is on sale $13.39 33% off

Reason I post this is because it has only ever been on sale on Steam one other time like 2 years ago.

I'd suggest as always to wait till the last day to buy if you are wanting it, just for the off chance that is shows up as a daily deal (though very slim in this case)
 
Wow... first steam sale in a long time that I didn't bite on anything on the first day.

Probably a few reasons:
1. I learned to have some restraint
2. I have too many games already (300+)
3. The deals just aren't as great as past sales.

I had fun unlocking the tickets though.

i had that happen once. It never completed the D/L but verified the files as far as it went 😛

i moved the installed files to another PC and then it resumed

i used to really hate Steam .. until i found the free D/L day or two every month (no bandwidth monitoring) of my Satellite ISP
:sneaky:
