Haha, yeah ok, however I have no plans to turn this into a MW2 flame war thread, so onto the sales.

I must say some of these sales look incredible, I don't have steam, but I might download it and get some of these games, mainly Mirror's edge, Audiosurf, and Braid.

EDIT: Well Just bought all of the games I said above, damn good deal, all this for just 10$
 
trust activision to be the only ones not to get in on the christmas spirit.

on a side note, will probably end up getting braid, but i'm holding out for mass effect at some point over the next couple of wees or so
 
Sonuvabitch. Fallout 3 was at $17.49 (Reg: $29.99) for a few minutes and then went back up to $37.49 (Reg: $49.99) while I was adding it to cart. I really wanted it for that price =(

That's why you never pay more for a computer that can do less >_>

In any case, if I actually played PC games more often, I would jump on some of these deals, but I already own most of the multi-platform games that I want for xbox 360 anyway.
 
"Valve Complete Pack (incl. TF2, L4D2, and everything else that Valve has ever made) - $74.99"

Holy SHIT. I really want that now. Now it's a new coat, a new video card, a laptop and this that's on my wishlist =/
 
I tried the demo for Defense Grid: The Awakening and played straight through it without stopping, and bought the game for $2.50 when I was done. I also bought GTA4 on an impulse shortly before yesterday's sale ended. Today's sale looks rather nice, I'd be buying the id superpack and Left 4 Dead 2 if I didn't already have them.

I ended up buying the Eidos Collector Pack, it was just too good to pass up. Arkham Asylum alone is worth the price of admission, and I've always wanted a Steam copy of Deus Ex. I'll probably be getting Audiosurf and Braid before the weekend is up. I also have my eye on Altitude. I'll surely be buying it before the end of the sale, but I'm trying to hold out and see if the price drops any further in one of the daily sales. (It's currently $7.50.)

You could buy a copy of Windows for your Mac. WinXP can be had for $90, and Win7 for $105.
 
I torrented GTA IV for the PC a few weeks ago, but for $8 I might as well buy it, that way I can actually play online with it if I so desire
 
Awesome deals today. First day I bought anything for myself. Red Faction Guerilla and Battlefield 2 Complete were games I was contemplating at 50% off, but at 75% off I couldn't keep my finger off the Buy button. Heard great things about RFG and BF2 is just something everyone seems to love so I'll give it a whirl.
 
Man all those games look good, hope I get the money soon to take advantage of this...although I don't know how much I could spend (besides having to prepare for book costs, I also want games for my new DSi and looking frantically for a copy of Persona and Persona II). Definitely gonna try Borderlands, though, since I got L4D2 for 360 for Christmas (yeah I know PC is better but it's not like TF2 360 version v. PC version...is it?). Too bad I missed $5 Mirror's Edge...I honestly don't have $5 to my name!

Also, topics like these are the only kind of advertising that doesn't make me gag.
 
Just bought RFG, AudioSurf, TF2, L4D2 and Deus Ex and had enough left over to actually buy some preemium shit on other online games I play.

I'm not going back to school ever again.
 
I'm sitting between Borderland or L4D2 myself, if I get more cash before this ends. But I'm still not sure which I will buy, I tested L4D2 demo and loved it, but I know a friend of mine is maybe planning to buy Borderlands, and it also interests me. Though I might be able to persuade him to buy L4D2 if I end up on it, he talked about Borderland before we played L4D2, so he might not join up on that, and both seems like games that are much funnier with friends. Any tips from you who have played both?

I have both and I'm getting a lot more enjoyability and re-playability in Left 4 Dead 2.

Borderlands was only fun for the first 50 or so hours.

"Only 50 hours" =P

That said, Left 4 Dead 2 is a much better game on PC than Borderlands.
 
Borderlands PC is pretty terrible. Its only tolerable if you use inihacks/that config editor, and even then its got issues. Shoddy online, rapid FoV swap on vehicles (happens because of the fix for the bad widescreen), and no on/off switch for mouse acceleration.

I wanted L4D2, but it didn't come low enough for me to want it. I just bought STALKER for my bro.

I should get Braid.
 
Buy Audiosurf.

12:37 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: i go through 50 hours of games like nothing
12:38 AM - Firestorm: yeah well you don't have audiosurf so your opinion doesn't matter anyway
12:39 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: i'd love to get audiosurf if only i had listened to more music
12:39 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: i feel really silly not getting it when it was $2.50
12:39 AM - Firestorm: it still is $2.50...
12:39 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: actually, i wonder if it's still 2.50
12:39 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: really?
12:39 AM - OCn// Marisa Kirisame: buying now

Today

OCn// Marisa Kirisame now owns Audiosurf.
 
Just picked up Borderlands, Braid, and Audiosurf, although I'm still waiting for Borderlands to download. I was thinking of getting Dragon Age but it's not on sale and my bro got it for 360...oh well. Maybe I'll snag Counter Strike or something while I'm at it.
 
The deals today also have the BUNDLES on sale.

Civilization IV Complete for $13.60 (I got mine at $20 and still haven't played it x.x)
aamto will kill you if you don't buy that.

Max Payne I & II for $3.74
 
The only game I've bought so far is stalker at £1.39 , most of the games on sale don't interest me or I have already bought.

I'm contemplating buying COD: World At War though.
