New to STEAM.

[cheesehead]

My main PC is out of commission, and I'd like to buy some of the stuff from the current sale on Steam software. Can I buy the games now at the discounted price and download them at a later date?

Also, assuming I manage to corrupt my hard drive again, will Steam let me re-download the games?

 

[masteryoda34]

Yes and yes I'm fairly certain.

 

[Molondo]

I don't see why not, and yes.

 

[Arglebargle]

Get em now, while they're cheap! I still have a couple of games that I have not downloaded: Steam has a little divider with the non-downloaded games listed there after the ones I have active. Had no problem DLing Steam and my games when I switched computers.

all you have to do is go to the main page from any computer and enter your log on id when you select buy. when you d/l the steam client back on your computer later they will show up as eligible to d/l titles.

 

[videogames101]

Yes, d/l at any time on any PC.

 

[pontifex]

yes

 

[FerraraZ]

Yes you can download install and uninstall the games you buy on steam anywhere on any computer.

Yep and you can even make backup copies on DvDs / flash drives if you like.

 

[QueBert]

Yes, Steam rocks like that, you can download whatever you pay for whenever you need to (format, new PC etc) I wish iTunes would do the same thing

Tell Patrick Star I said "Hi!"

 

[Bateluer]

Welcome to the club. Hope you got your games bought before the sale ends.

 

[cheesehead]

I missed them.

Are these sales common?

They usually have sales on one or two games or a series of games for a weekend but one this big hasn't come for a long time.

 

[ericgomes]

I bought COD:WAW, COD:MW, and L4D. Those prices don't come around very often either.

 

[Eeezee]

Yes and Yes. Although now the sale is over

Which is a good thing!

I was literally about to buy a game and the sale ended.
