Yes sir, I can relate. I had set aside $50 a few weeks prior for this sale, but I blew past the with ease. And then add in the games I got off Amazon that were cheaper than Steam and the one game from getgamesgo.com, I'm super broke now!

I managed to control myself (5€ spent total). Which is unusual, because I'm a consumer. I CONSUME!

After seeing "What your friends bought" and your avatar in nearly every single slot, I too am afraid to see what you spent.

edit: Also recently got her the humble indie bundle 4. Just now purchased Dead Island for her. What other games should I get her? She says that she doesn't really know what she likes, but I would classify her as a casual gamer who's interest in good ol' fun.

I was underwhelmed by the steam sales. Only got Limbo and Mass Effect 2.

Really? Almost every game on there was on sale at some point and the majority of them were at least 50% off.

I didn't bought nothing, even with the discounts Steam prices in Portugal is a robbery!
If a game in the US cost´s 50$ where I pay 50€ and it shouldn't cost that, with the conversion the correct price must be 36€. And that´s why I bought all my games in web sites like the cdkeysdiscount.com or cdkeysdirect.com, but the problem isnt Steam, @ Origin the "problem" is the same! Example, my BF3 key only cost me 22€, COD MW3 24€ etc.... |

Humble Indie 4 some Total war DLCs Bulletstorm Blur Limbo Civ V DLCs Fallout NV DLCs Terraria and Complete Magika. All in all a shade under 40€. Now I'll just finish playing the stuff I bought in last years christmas sale and then we'll be set. |

Well, I guess in some cases you are right. I think DiRT3 hasn't come off his 45€ pedestal, even for Christmas, while it was at 20€ on Steam. On the other hand, Burnout Paradise is at 15€ (was 20€) on Steam and I bought it for 5.1€ at a store during the summer. I guess it comes down to studying the market. You are right, prices here suffer from $1=€1 conversions a lot, more on hardware than on games (with the exception of release day), but if you comb trough the stores, you might find some neat deals. The trick is having several places to shop and constantly keeping an eye on the stuff you want, to monitor if it budges from it's place. |

most things capped at 50% off an already higher than average price. people seem to forget to price compare when these deals are happening. for instance the lowest I saw shogun tw go for was 50% off. I picked it up months ago at newegg for far less than steams 50% off price. Edit: and my version off the egg already came with the hattori clan pack that you have to buy for an extra 5$ off of steam. on average steam is 5-10$ more than elsewhere right now So sales need to be better to reflect that. |

its against the rules to offer to sell the items, especially at a profit.
its not against them for someone to ask for help, and get PM'd offers. the rules basically in place to prevent someone making money off this, as that would probably be illegal, and easy to exploit/rip people off, en masse.

If the sale featured tons of Digital Only titles, not as though I could be arsed to look, I would've bought some. Yes I still outright refuse to be gifted any game from Steam if it also has a retail release. I'll just gift it to someone else and buy the game as the retail version.

On my sisters Vista machine, AOE 3 will install fine, but War Chiefs and Asian Dynasty wont.
