      awesome game.

      portal 1 is also on sale…i just picked that up myself.

  • Postulative on 13/07/2012 - 15:12

    I'm wanting the Popcap Collection - as a "core" gamer, I found myself addicted to Plants vs. Zombies. But I'll see if it'll go lower than $49.99.

    In the meantime, I've bought a couple of cheap games, all less than $3 and all at 75% off or more.

  • FlyingPanda on 13/07/2012 - 15:54

    Max Payne 3 is ~$23 on the UK storefront until 3pm Sunday.

    Max Payne 1+2 Bundle is $3.74 for the same period of time (on AU) - http://store.steampowered.com/sub/603/

    • AuSlade on 14/07/2012 - 11:19

      I was just coming to say a similar thing. Until we're on 1:1 pricing, I'll pass on most games. There's no reason to charge us more for no reason.

  • Postulative on 14/07/2012 - 11:59

    The day 2 indie pack is a nice deal - I was surprised to see that I don't have any of the games in it. (Or rather, didn't).

    Does anyone know if you can split the packs? That is, give away part of the content that you already have?

    • apexplosive on 14/07/2012 - 13:14

      Can you buy it as a gift for later. It will go into your steam inventory

      • Feepitee on 14/07/2012 - 16:37

        You can buy it as a gift for later, however, you must gift the whole pack, you can't gift the game separately.

  • Black Hole on 14/07/2012 - 16:26

  • csg001 on 14/07/2012 - 21:01

    Is the ?cc=us trick still working? I keep getting errors on the payment stage with my real account and my fake gifting account. Tried 4 different cards and all no-go. :(
    I want the Rockstar bundle with Max Payne 3. It's $79.99 for Aus, but only $49.99 for US!

    • Ace on 14/07/2012 - 21:17

      Try creating a new Steam account with a US address then gift the games to your main.

      • csg001 on 14/07/2012 - 23:14

        My fake gifting account is address in the US. Problem is I can't get past the payment page with a US region purchase if I don't use an US address. And if I use an US address, it won't accept any of my cards!
        I just bought Alan Wake in Aus region perfectly fine, but can't get anywhere if I try to purchase US region ones.
        Maybe credit card companies are now verifying all parts of the billing address against your database? Le sigh…

        • Ace on 14/07/2012 - 23:38

          Oh sorry I misread what you said originally. Didn't see the 'fake gifting account' part.

          I haven't run into that problem yet but that's a worry if credit card companies are verifying billing addresses.

    • leonheart1 on 14/07/2012 - 23:17

      This is obvious but you ARE using a VPN, right?

      • csg001 on 15/07/2012 - 00:04

        Yes I am! I've tried everything, no go. :(
        My only conclusion is that Steam has wised up and locked down cross-region purchases, or credit card companies are now verifying every single field of the billing address. Dammit ><

        • leonheart1 on 15/07/2012 - 04:09

          Then your options are 1) ask friendly people on a forum for help or 2) trade on the steam forums for it.

    • ldstr on 15/07/2012 - 09:59

      Just use Paypal..?

    • wisc on 15/07/2012 - 22:49

      just FYI, i created a fake UK account and tried to gift myself a game, you need to have games in your accounts before you can gift from that account.

      • Ace on 16/07/2012 - 01:42

        Gift to your main accounts email, not the account itself.

        • wisc on 16/07/2012 - 10:09

          yeah thats what i meant, cant gift from the new account as it goes into review, then it fails, the new account needs games in it before it can gift… also you face a ban if they find out…

  • Marrk on 14/07/2012 - 21:08

    I will probably purchase Alice: Madness Returns and the Anno 2070 Collection. I hope that Fallout 3 comes further down in price.

    Fortunately, I am not a sucker for hoarding digital purchases and content. It is the most insidious and perfectly hidden method of hoarding with no trace or evidence apart from your password secured steam account(aka "the vault") and monthly bank statements which will show multiple strange debit entries. My mountains of games are sitting in boxes in my bedroom laughing at me, taunting me, for they know that the harder I try to play them all, the more the games will pile up. We gamers are doomed!

  • cashews on 15/07/2012 - 11:49

    Tried buying L4D2 from the US store, didn't work. Now I'm getting the following error message when trying to make any purchase:

    There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.

    Have lodged a ticket with Steam Support. Has anyone had this error before, and how did you get it working again?

    • dirtybird on 15/07/2012 - 23:37

      Same issue here cashews.
      Tried to purchase from US store using US card and address and getting the same errors.
      Paypal wouldnt work and just throws me back to the cart page on steam.
      Even AU details get an error now so I've also submitted a ticket.

      • cashews on 16/07/2012 - 15:39

        Steam support fixed my issue and told me to use the Australian Store from now on lol.

        • dirtybird on 16/07/2012 - 20:49

          I assume they will tell me the same but I do qualify for either.
          I'm over the impulse now anyway.

  • WesfromRayWhite on 15/07/2012 - 12:53

      • WesfromRayWhite on 15/07/2012 - 13:27

        Thanks heaps for the reply, yeah i might as well get it only $5 lol

        • SmashedMango on 15/07/2012 - 18:48

        • Ace on 15/07/2012 - 21:21

          It was an 8 hour flash sale. Finished at around 5pm I think.

    • leonheart1 on 15/07/2012 - 14:01

      No don't. Once you get it, you can't get the uncensored version. You'd have to make a whole new account.
      Get someone else in the US to gift it to you. Look up the comparison between the versions yourself to see if it's worth it.

      • WesfromRayWhite on 15/07/2012 - 14:09

        Hows it going Leon mate, i dont know anyone from the US unless you can help me out, yeah i have watched the comparison and it is absolutely ridiculous but for $5 i dont mind

        • Ace on 15/07/2012 - 15:40

    For some reason, it shows Dirt 2 as a Daily Deal for $4.99 but I've heard that it will be $4.99 for the rest of the sale. Should I get it now or wait for it to go cheaper?

    • Ace on 15/07/2012 - 16:47

      Google cache says the discount price for the duration of the sale is $15 (25% off) - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:qSnpoNj…

      So yeah if you want the game then buy it now for $5 (75% off). The Dirt 2 page says 'offer ends in 22 hours' as well so after that time it will go back to only 25% off.

  • GafferFish on 15/07/2012 - 16:32

    Hi fanboys/girls.

    I sought L4D2 and tried all configurations known to me in order to get the uncensored version….all to no avail. This included visa, master c, paypal, VPN, new account, US and UK cc……

    Shame as the 4 pack for 15 bucks would have been nice.

    I figure it must compare purchase to the account address and hence the strange lack of love.

    Thought i'd let you know to save you time trying or at least share my bloodless hair-pulled luck.

          Yeah I personally wouldn't risk it, especially because it's a memory patcher that edits the game files. That's how most hacks work so VAC could quite easily detect it as a hack and ban you.

  • bigosmallo on 15/07/2012 - 18:22

    Anyone else confused by the pricing for LA Noire?

    LA Noire: $3.74

    LA Noire: DLC Bundle: $4.49

    LA Noire Complete: $14.99

    Is there stuff in the complete bundle you don't get with the base game + DLC Bundle?

    Also the Complete Edition + Brady Guide is $24.99 together, or $19.99 if you purchase the 2 separately? My mind is boggled.

    • lucksmith on 15/07/2012 - 20:07
      +1

      This happens at times during steam sales. I just picked up the base LA Noire game + LA Noire: DLC Bundle for $8.23. I don't think there's anything missing from the pack that the "Complete" edition has, but if it does, I don't think it's worth the extra $6.76.

  • ProspectiveDarkness on 15/07/2012 - 21:11

    Why only post 'notable savings'? Why not update the thread with all the daily deals? What isn't deemed 'notable' by you, could be by others; so there's no harm in typing just a few extra characters. I'm sorry, but if you weren't prepared to update the deal accordingly and properly, why bother posting it?
    Also, the now defunct flash sales should be removed, and the pack deals updated.

  • NFS on 16/07/2012 - 12:51

    Hey guys,

    New deals today include Serious Sam 3 BFE, looking for any interest if someone wants to go in for a four pack with me?
    $29.99 for the 4 pack - so with paypal exchange rates (prob at $0.98 to the US dollar because of paypal fees) plus maybe a dollar or so to credit card fees. Prob works out at $8 each? (So you'll save $2 something)
    Any takers?

      • NFS on 18/07/2012 - 09:33

        Dammit, I missed out on this… couldn't get 4 people… all I wanted was to save another $2!
        Oh well, seems like Flash sales tend to repeat other sales so I might get another chance before the sale is over.

    Had a quick look and didn't see if anyone had answered this - If I already own a game in one of the steam indie bundles and purchase the bundle, will I get giftable copies of what I already had?

      I think (but not sure) that you don't. The only experience I have with this is when I already had 'Napoleon: Total War' and then bought the Empire + Napoleon pack (cheaper than just Empire alone), but I didn't receive an extra key or anything for Napoleon.

      • Domingo on 17/07/2012 - 12:35

        Just realised I have 4/5 in the bundle, so will just wait for the specific to come up at 75% off then. Cheers!

  • Harold Halfprice on 17/07/2012 - 13:50

    To be honest, these sales arent as good as they used to be.
    Not that the deals arent good anymore, the deals are actually pretty much the same every time. Which is why it's just not as good anymore - most people have already bought what they wanted out of these games in previous sales and have already had the opportunity to buy the others..

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it! But I haven't found anything I want yet, and it's more or less the same as all the other sales

    • Ace on 17/07/2012 - 17:03
      +1

      I felt the same way last sale. I visited Steam every day of the sale in hope there was a game I'd like but I ended up buying nothing. This sale there were a few games that I've discovered over the past few months that I picked up cheap like Portal 2, Borderlands, Alan Wake American Nightmare and Mount & Blade: Warband.

      The sale discounts aren't as good as previous sales though. Most of the Valve titles are usually 75% off throughout the duration of the sale but this time they're only 50% and occasionally the odd one goes 75% off during the flash deals. The other publishers games aren't discounted as much as they usually are either but I guess they're doing that to put emphasis on the flash deals to get people returning back to the store numerous times a day in hope that they'll buy something extra while they're there.

      • johnno07 on 17/07/2012 - 19:21

        Ok well lacking US friends I went ahead and bought it. A saving of less than $10 is not worth me risking a ban on my account of 240 games by using a VPN. It's the same reason I will never buy Russian/Chinese Steam keys.
