    I got BFBC2, thanks to a very kind NBR member! :D Damn thing took 4 hours to download. :/ It should have taken less than half of that time, but my download speed was totally unstable. I can't tell if it was my ISP or Steam's servers causing the problem...

    It's the steam servers, or at least the one hosting bfbc2 - I was d/ling just cause 2 today @ 13mb/s, but bc2 won't break 3mb/s right now.

    Go look at it. It's apparently 50% off for all the single ones. The complete pack is still full price though

    I know, I play it all the time, but it does not have the elite and the british army and some other multiplayer mode. The expansion contents are totally missing.

    I've been playing The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom for 30 minutes and I loved it. What a charming platformer. At first I thought it was an imitation of Braid but it has lots of personality. Actually, I think I am going to enjoy it more than Braid. It's only $0.49, so check it out.

    Got Libery City Pack for supah cheap...like...14 euros, something like that...plus i got HAWX2 althought reviews are crap, but i cant not buy it, i love ace combat like games, plus i enjoyed the demo over the ps3.
    And it benches fast and crazy on my xps m1730. It was like 40 euros, price slashed to 34 iirc. Good deal.
    Got Vietnam as well, a really awesome expansion for 10 bucks.
    Maybe ill get more later...

    They also have a game that's over a year old on Steam for $60. That's all kinds of wrong, and why I'm never buying their games again.

    It's not just activision. I know this is kind OT, but the Wii has games that came out on release selling for $50 still. I can't beleive how people do that.


    On the other side, that's just what makes BFBC2 better! I picked it up for $6.72. =)

    and again my internet/steam's servers are slow. I've been downloading BFBC2 for almost 10 hours... still got over 3 GB left to download....

    But Nintendo doesn't make annual releases and their games aren't digital downloads, which is the biggest issue here, imo. :/

    I suppose. Even those games with sequels (Super mario galaxy) still sell for $50 though.


    and on topic again, I hope ME:2 gets a good sale... I'd love to get that for $10.

    Yeah, they have been keeping prices too high for too long this gen, and it's bad, but Activision keeping one of the best selling games of all time at $60 across three platforms and throwing in $15 map packs to boot is totally unacceptable. But that's business.

    ... And I'm a bit biased since I grew up with Nintendo and absolutely loved those "overpriced" games. :p

    And $10 for both ME1 and ME2 would make me very happy. They're both $15 right now, however, so even if something bigger doesn't come by the end of the sale, I'm getting them. I'm REALLY looking for a Civ 5 sale, even a small one.

    Also, to be safe, I have a hard $105 limit. xP And one more hour until the next set of deals!

    Unless New Vegas or Black Ops gets at least 50% off (which I highly doubt), the only other game I'm really planning on getting is Darksiders, which I reallllly hope gets a good deal. I suppose if I could get ME2 for cheaper I'd take it as well

    The Lara Croft game doesn't seem too bad, it's definitely changed over the years since the first one though.

    yo you want to coop in the Lara Croft game?

    Picked up defense grid and the polynomial out of curiosity. Picked up the witcher as well. I'd pick up lara croft if I owned any other tomb raiders on steam but I don't and the base deal isn't enough for me to pull the trigger
