Special Sales, Discounts & Obscenely Low Prices
It seems every week we have about 2 or 3 threads about games sales. While I love these threads they rarely get more than 5 replies (half of them are something like "cool, I'm getting this") and they keep bumping down other discussion threads to oblivion (a.k.a. page 2). So it occurred to me: centralize or not centralize? I don't know if that's been tried here but I'm creating this thread for this purpose.
@administrators&moderators If that is a very lame idea that I'm failing to recognize as such, please feel free to edit this Title to "Sam & Max season 1 for $4.95" and hit my head with a frying pan. Quote:

Titan Quest - Gold Edition for 5 bucks on Steam through thursday.
The Golden Edition includes Titan Quest and the expansion Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. I've never played it but it seems like a nice deal.

Hmm. An "Alien VS Predator:Classic 2000" is only $5 on Steam. I'm wondering if I want to buy it. I'm not much into action, but I do love Predators.

Ooh, that's good to know. And it seems to have been tweaked to run on modern machines too. It's a steal at £2.99.

It's a great game but it will kick yo' ass. I thought the Predator campaign was the hardest too!

It looks like I'll have to prepare an extra pair of pants when I get it on the 19th.

The weekend deal on Steam are the "Spellforce" games, 75% off. I wonder if they're any good, plot-wise and rpg-wise. They look interesting. Any thoughts?
Gosh, I'm a softie for sales. I see a game on sale I haven't even heard of before, and I debate on buying it. *shakes head* In the end, I decided not to. I'm saving my money, although now I'm bored and wanting to play something.

Majesco catalogue 50% off on GOG until March 1st.
The game of interest there for most is probably Psychonauts. Individual games are 30% off, so you can get it separately for $6.99 or bundled with Bloodrayne 1&2 and Advent Rising for less than $16.

Indie Games Midweek Madness on Steam
7 independent games for 10 dollars. You can buy each of them individually for 2 bucks. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/3059/ I'm thinking of getting Altitude but I'll look up some reviews tomorrow to see if the other 6 are worth it.

Ok... I changed my mind and bought The Longest Journey again. I already have that DVD version that came with Dreamfall: The Longest Journey - Game of the Year Edition but I can always gift it to someone else. Bought Sanitarium as well.

Telltale Store - Free Shipping until march 28
"Here's the deal: spend $50 on your order and recieve[sic] FREE shipping! Excludes prints". http://www.telltalegames.com/ I tried a few simulations and it applies to almost the entire catalog. Also, it's FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING too. A great opportunity to get those Collector's Edition discs from those seasons you already own. I think I'll order the disc editions of the two Bone games and maybe Wallace & Gromit.

Arg! Torchlight is only $5 on Steam. It's a very tempting price, even though I don't have much interest in the game. Running around dungeons just killing things doesn't really appeal to me, but getting to fish (WTF?) and having a pet sounds kind of cool. Well, I thought I'd tell other people.

There's a website that does this sort of thing across GamersGate, Steam and GOG.com.
http://didimatic.com/dd/en/onsale/ It lists savings, regional pricing, restrictions, and DRM for titles on sale. I don't know why Impulse, or Direct 2 Drive are looked over. Not that I visit those others very often as they tend to have rather stringent region locking (Us/Canada only deals). |
