Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Well its that time of the year again, time to stitch shut your wallets anus for the absolute rape-train Steam is sending its way!
Duration:
This sale looks to be going from December 19th to January 1st, or in FUTURE LAND (Australia) Thats December 20 to January 2nd.
Tips:
The tickover for new daily deals seems to be 4am AEDT, so if you are a night owl, thats how hardcore you must be to wait for the new bargains to tick over!

There will be items that are on sale the whole duration, and then there will be Daily Deals, and on the last day, there will be a "Best Of" Daily Deals where the most popular games from the previous Daily Deals will be back up for round 2.

The way to get the most out of the Steam sale is to not buy ANYTHING but Daily Deals until the last day when you know the game you want is not going to be a daily deal and is just going to be whatever price it has been for the duration. The reason for this is you'll see say GRID for example as 25% of now, but later on it might be a daily deal and be 80% off. Items on sale already i go more on special for a Daily Deal, so be patient if you want to get the best price possible, and if you are new to Steam sales, you will be surprised by how cheap some shit gets!

Yeah the whole Red River campaign is apparently a long string of 'USA is dominate', racism, needless swear words, and infantile jokes.

You and me both DoyL, there's plenty of talk that either steam made the mistake or that it sold too well and WB decided to pull it as it was devaluing the games in the pack too much... Either way its a FAIL...

It was devaluing the games by tons. Until Arkham City went on sale, it was cheaper to get the entire WB pack than to buy Arkham City by itself. And even when Arkham City was on sale, it was only like $20 cheaper than the pack, so you'd be stupid for not shelling out the extra money and getting 17 other titles for an extra $20.

I was so super psyched about this game before it came out pumping it up.... and sadly in the end they stuffed it up quite badly [Facepalm]

In saying that, its got the foundations to be a great game, they just didnt nail it properly :'(

Most people saw how crap it was during the free weekend. Me, I stopped playing halfway through the first campaign mission. Movement was crappy, aiming was crappy, shooting was crappy, and they made a conscious decision to make every character as ugly as possible.

Bought Limbo and Mass Effect 1 today, I heard Limbo was a good Indie game so keen to give that game a try.

I was playing Limbo before. It is really good. Creepy as hell, though.

Bought ME1 and 2, Blur and Torchlight.

I enjoyed Brink when there were more people in the multiplayer, but it's only really worth getting if it's on sale nowadays.

Anyway, if a game is cheaper than a KFC lunch meal, then why not.

I have my fingers crossed hoping for a 75 percent off price slash on that game, probably not going to happen though :P

Very unlikely for Skyrim to go on sale. It's already selling so well, they'd be silly to cut their profits.

Anyone wanna trade a piece of coal for a piece of coal to get todays Steam achievement?

I also have a 10% Activision coupon for whoever wants to trade me for it, piece of coal is fine by me, I'll never use the coupon anyway. You should be able to guess my steam ID pretty easily [Shifty]
