    I'm curious, if you already have the thq complete pack, do you get the new games that were added to the pack for this sale? I'm at work so I can't check.

    Thanks

    You should definitely go for the THQ pack. even though DA:O is an amazing game, it can't beat all those games in the THQ pack. Red Faction: Guerilla Warfare, SoC, CoH, DOW2....

    Dragon Age Origins is already on sale with this for $37.49. and Batman Arkham Asylum is half off at $24.99. I knew I should have waited for these since I haven't played them much.

    If this is a one day sale, why does the countdown start at 40 hours instead of 24?

    Because its 5 days long. Its 5 days of 1 day sales. They were trying to have a play on words.

    Saw this earlier, so finally bought Osmos.
    Some really good deals (GRID for £3.74?!), can't wait to see what they have for the rest of the sale period.

    I just checked. If you already bought the THQ pack previously, you do not get the the newly added games (RF 1+2 and guerrilla).

    I just picked up grid on an impulse buy. To cheap to pass up.

    I've been waiting for Batman to be on sale, and now I just bought it (along with GRID and Far Cry 2 :eek: ). I want to get Dragon Age: Origins too. Steam is going to make me poor :(

    BTW I added the link to the deals to the first post. Here it is in case you missed it: http://store.steampowered.com/early-holiday

    if batman is only 25 bucks I may grab it. sounds like a good deal to me since its not that long of a game.
    I want to get DA:O as well but im not sure i like having to pause and work out my attack stuff before every battle. dont think id like that much.

    Indie games are fun (Plants vs Zombies, Osmos, Nation Red, AaaaaaAA... - A Reckless Disregard For Gravity), I hope Steam has some more good Indies games on sale.

    /hopes for Euphoria to go to 50-75% off

    Also bought GRID, I simply just can't pass that up. It's a great game, imo. Played it at a friends house, and fell in love (sorta).

    Wow Batman for only $24.99, I bought that one fast. I am tempted to get Osmos too, look fun for a $2 game.

    For the people who don't understand the naming.

    1 day deals in shopping trends are typically days where the deals are so insane, that they only have it for 1 day, rather than a period of time. This one happens to be for 5 days straight, of 1 day deals.

    Im waiting for Crysis myself :)


    WAIT, L4D 2 Will have a sale by year end. I guarantee it, last year when i bought left 4 dead it was for $37 and was part of a Christmas sale. It will probably be the same thing this year as well.

    ALSO what is this special edition Far Cry 2 really about?

    Hm, thanks. I guess that makes it a decent deal, considering Best Buy has the boxed version RIGHT NOW for $4.99

    Also i am HOPING that they finally have a deal on Crysis. They haven't had a single deal on this game since it dropped on STEAM. I mean they had it for $14.99 but for a game this old i think thats too much. I still never owned either Crysis games(Weird i know)
