    They tell you.

    It'll have a counter and games on sale will be shown below.

    just wait for the store to recover and you'll see.

    Here's an easy way

    Ask me for it :p

    And that's probably an error in steam's case. It's £6.97 here which should mean it's $10.00 for you guys xD If you're seeing $10.00 means they fixed it :p

    I see nothing of interest there. Still waiting on Fallout New Vegas to go $20 or cheaper.

    And for anyone that doesn't have the Valve games, now would be the time to buy. Everything for $25! Don't whine later when TF2 and L4D2 are both $20 each.

    It's 66% off of the normal $19.99, so $6.79 is correct.

    How can you not have pretty much every game in the Valve pack? They've been on sale crazy amount of times during the past 2 years.

    I have all the games from the Valve pack that I want (TF2, Portal and L4D2). I'm probably going to get slagged for not wanting to play Half Life.

    Whoa, that sucks. I guess you gotta jump on em while you can. It's not fair really, but what are you going to do? I try to catch them when they first post them because I got a couple games last year cheaper than they probably should have been that way.

    I think it's really just that the $25 price was an error.

    By the way, is anyone else getting a strange error that won't allow your account to go online? o_O

    It's times like this that I'm happy I don't have any personal income. (Except for the BFBC2 thing.)

    If someone buys me BFBC2 today I'll be their slave for a year.

    I haven't bought anything. I'm still holding out for htwingnut's event to end. Lol! I just won Just Cause 2, and already have BFBC2. If I win htwingnut event then I will probably not be buying anything on Steam...

    We'll see though. These are some nice sales after all.

    Here's my dilemma and I hope I can get a quick answer, I brought Just Cause 2 a couple days ago and now the Square Enix pack is here for £50 (which includes JC2), if I buy this will I be able to gift the copy of JC2 that comes in the pack?

    ...It seems like a no :(
