Guys seriously, Steam is out of control:

http://kotaku.com/5226423/steams-weekend-orange-box-deal-is-insane

That's right, the Orange Box for $9.99 this weekend!!!

Seriously I already have it, but I am tempted to buy an extra copy right now, in case one of my friends doesn't have it or something. Who knows when you'll need an extra Orange Box laying around?!

I sure don't, but I want to make sure I'm ready when it happens.

    That is a damn good deal.

    The Target near me has Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for PC on clearance for $5. I almost bought it until I realized how fucking terrible I was at those games.

    I'm such a sucker for Steam's deals. I have a bunch of games I've never played just because I logged on to my steam account when they were on sale for like $5.

    I didn't consider myself good at fighting games when I bought SCIV, but it turns out it's pretty damn easy to pick up

    the online play isn't worth balls, but definitely consider it if you have at least one other person nearby who would learn to play it with you

    I dunno it was kind of shitty when the 360 got a $50 price cut a few days after I got mine

    luckily the dudes at Gamestop were rad and gave me a refund

    but buying something knowing a sale is coming up? nah that ain't right

    Price adjusting is just easier for stores. They can't stop you from returning it and buying it again so they price adjust.

    you bought it for that price because at the time you felt it was the right price

    anyone can lower the price on a product any time without obligation to previous customers, except we're so fucking pampered and self righteous as customers and so used to being pandered to, that we've come to expect it and most stores oblige
