Yes, but I believe it's a non-gold coupon so it won't be usable until Jan. 2nd, when the x-mas sale has ended.

can steam detect stuff like making a dummy account, achieve those easy to get 'holiday steam achievement', then trade the goods to your account? Im thinking a lot of people already did that..

I mean, heck you can do the 'check your steam inventory' achievement over and over for infinite stuff.. Im thinking individuals on long holiday leaves having nothing else important to do

You need to have an activated game or make a purchase to do the contest stuff on steam.

Then there's the 90-day period, after you create an account, when you can't trade stuff. :\

Well in anycase, looks like steam smites the banhammer on those foolish enough to farm coals with alt accounts:

Yeah, they did mention something about karma in the contest description. Maybe it has something to do with that.

BTW, left 4 dead 2 is at a true bargain price, for those that don't have it yet, I strongly recommend it. Mafia 2 is at a good price too.

I have been able to resist AAA titles so far (times are hard), but the GTA Complete collection is so tempting.
But this is only because it is cheaper than just buying the GTA IV pack. I already have the other GTAs, so I'm only missing IV.

It's on Steam right now for $16.99 deal ends in ~7 hours. Worth the extra $3 for people like me who like to have all their games on one platform.

or does that site give you Steam codes?

All you need to have is the serial code and it'll go straight to steam for download and it's yours... It'll start downloading and going at it.
