Steam Christmas Sale 2015

[Ricochet]

I just put one up for sale and it went fine.

Okay. Must be just me and my connection. I sold a bunch earlier.

Greenmangaming has a better sale (remember to use the extra 20% discount code on the homepage).

do you know any more sites like that cheaper than steam?

can the 20% voucher use multiple timnes?

 

[CuriousMike]

I just used GreenManGaming to buy Black Ops 3 for $39.99, but the 20% voucher did not work.

While googling vouchers for GMG, I came across a thread on reddit that mentioned "BundleStars" and I used that to buy Shadow of Mordor (plus DLC) for $15.

Today has been an expensive day for me and Steam/GMG/Bundlestars.
I'm done.

I don't get the hate, I've picked up Wolfenstein: New World Order and Her Story already.

And I'm still browsing.

Edit: Just picked up Witcher 2.

Codes normally work on games that are not already on sale. GMG tends to have the best pricing with some exceptions on Steam sales.

oh I see.

Will Kerbal be getting more content? Is it worth waiting for more and buying a complete edition?

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

oh I see.

that's not true. you can usually stack their codes with discounts. there's usually some exceptions. vip deals. deals with credit back/cashback bonus. some random games will be on the exception list also but they don't seem to have a list that you can easily access. you just add the game to your cart and see if the code works.

the game is actually cheaper on the wingamestore (activates on Steam). for their thanksgiving sale it was 55% off as a flash deal so you could hold out and see if they repeat the deal. it's the sister site to macgamestore.

I think I will get Borderlands Pre-sequel and Fallout 4 from GMG since it has a better price there

Both KOTOR games for $3ea? YES

I've never played any of the Jedi Knight, Force Unleashed, or EaW games. I guess my question is, is it worth it to buy the "Buy Star Wars Collection" for $23, or just an extra $17 over KOTOR I-II?

Pillars Of Eternity is going for $18, good deal if you like cRPGs

Get it now.
They add new goodies with each patch, and the patches have been regular, if not frequent.

Besides which theres a load of good things to do right now.

 

[Childs]

And the bigger/more prissy publishers still only discount their games heavily for a portion of the sale.

I'm hoping this the sale FC4 gold/deluxe/whatever goes < $10. It's currently the only thing on my wishlist I might bite on. Might being key.

Whats funny is I preordered FC4 for cheaper than it is now on Steam. <$10 is going to be a long wait.

WTF!?! Holiday Sale 2015 Trading Card may no longer be bought or sold on the market.

I think that this message applies to Mystery cards obtained before Steam Sale started. I had some of those listed on Market and when the sale started they disappeared, only to reappear after an hour or so, but I had to list them again on Market.

It looks like this time the Mystery cards will be revealed one per day during this Steam Holiday Sale.

Bought Might and Magic Heroes VII for 13.52&#8364; on cdkeys.com (24.99&#8364; on steam)

If you want to make sure that you're getting the best deal, install an add-on for your browser called Enhanced Steam. Since the Steam storefront is just a website, you can browse it at http://store.steampowered.com and purchase stuff like normal. The benefit is that with Enhanced Steam, it can tell you (a) what the game's best price ever has been, and (b) if the game is cheaper than Steam on another site. You can also just toss the game's name into something like Slickdeals and check that way. That's how I got Cities Skylines: After Dark for $6 from Amazon.

As for what I got, I bought about $40 of Rocksmith DLC, and I'm currently looking at getting Rocket League and Grandia II. There are a few other games that are piquing my interest, but I don't know if I want to spend too much. Blasphemous, I know!

I just used GreenManGaming to buy Black Ops 3 for $39.99, but the 20% voucher did not work.

The vouchers don't seem to work on games that are already super cheap. For example, I got Transformers for $18, and unsurprisingly, the voucher doesn't work on that.

Games are starting to drop a bit more. FC3 is now 20% off as opposed to 10% yesterday when the sale started. Same with Mad Max as its 66% off now and was 50% yesterday.

That is solid advice. Enhanced Steam is awesome.

Got 18 games for $34. Sure, they are indie games, but most have positive views and less than $2/game, you can't go wrong.

Does this work in the Steam client of just on Steampowered.com?

edit: works through steampowered. But, just saved my $4 on Tropico 5! Woohoo!

 

[Cappuccino]

Why are games getting cheaper again? I thought the price yesterday was the standalone discount price?

I'll have to check that out. I've been using this site to do the same thing: https://isthereanydeal.com/

Isthereanydeal tells me that the lowest price on Baldurs Gate Enhanced Edition was $4.99 on Steam. It's $11.99 on this holiday "sale"...which is normally Steam's lowest prices of the year. No wonder why people are complaining about this sale....(and this is just one of many examples).

Thank you!

The Russian versions are cheap but what are the cons? Is it just the language that cant be changed? What is this? Why is the Russian keys sooo much cheaper? For example Fallout 4 its £18.91 lol... i want to buy it but is the con? D:
