  1. The price will rise 24 hours after the daily deal ends to its normal sale price. I don't remember what it was either, but it is definitely higher. The way seasonal Steam sales work is that developers list two sale prices for their game: one discount that exists for the duration of the sale, and a steeper discount that is implemented only when the game is selected as a daily deal or flash sale. Prices never go lower than they do when the game is a daily deal or flash sale. However, these prices return (generally) on the last day for those who missed them. Sounds bit like Origins, which I thought was great. I ended up buying both 1 and 2 for a combined $7.50, so it's not like I'm losing my house even if I don't like them.
  2. Amazon has Oblivion: GotY Deluxe for $6.24, which contains all DLC ever made for the game. Alternatively, they also have the standard GotY version for $4.99, though I would advise against buying it as there is no way to purchase the missing DLC should you later decide you want it.

  4. Thoughts on the Witcher 1 and 2? I've heard great things and you can't beat two great titles for $7.50.
  5. Just finish that quest and you will be able to part with him.
  6. Amazon (and maybe Steam?) had the Far Cry 3 Deluxe Edition for the standard $7.50 yesterday in what I assume was a price mistake, did you manage to snag it at that price? I was going to buy Shogun 2 / the Grandmaster Collection, but I looked up the price history and discovered it was $30 on sale at the beginning of December at Amazon (as opposed to $42 on Steam). I made a rule for myself to never buy anything during these sales unless it's the lowest (correct) price ever. Helps my wallet a bit. Today's sales are sort of meh. Age of Empires 2 HD is a good price but it's hard to justify since I already own the old disc version. A better deal is Age of Empires III: Complete for $9.99; it's usually $50 and rarely goes on big sales. It's a daily deal with AoE: II but it's not listed on the front page.
  7. http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/12/19/massivelys-best-of-2013-awards/ I have never seen a game with so many haters pre-release.
  8. Posted the day 2 stuff. The entire Total War series is 75% off, including the Grand / Master bundles. Strongly considering them.
  9. Sort of a disappointing start, but there's a lot of time left. An Amazon rep has also stated that they will be matching all of Steam's sale prices, in addition to the huge selection they already have. Amazon 1 Steam 0 It is a good day for capitalism.

  12. Probably some licensing issue. 99% of the time you can just use a VPN / proxy / change your address though and it will be perfectly fine. I've bought several games from UK sites in pounds through Paypal when they have better deals than in the States. The only exceptions are games that are region-locked, and obviously physical items.
  13. Amazon has some fantastic deals on PC games. They're also offering $5 promotional credit alongside every single PC digital download game purchased before December 31st, 2013. You can acquire multiple of these and then use this promotional credit during their "Editor's Choice" sale in January. I'll be picking out my favorite deals and posting them to the front page, but that certainly won't cover much. For the full list of the available games, their prices, and the deal's expiration and starting date, click here to view the list I compiled. There are a ton of options, so your best bet is to just do a ctrl + f search and look for games you want. Also note that there are different starting dates for many of the sales; they're all under headings with the appropriate date but they're easy to miss since the list is so long.
