    Also, now I have to figure out how to hook up a 360 controller to my PC. Anyone have any advice? I'm assuming step one is to acquire a 360 controller, step two is to get a USB cable for it, and step three involves magic.

    I think you forgot "?" and "profit", but you have the gist of it. I have the impression that wired 360 controllers essentially work out of the box. The magic involved in a ps3 controller is a bit more complicated than "plug it in" but not by much.

    Some of this stuff isn't available in my region. Could someone tell me what the discounts are on Fallout 3, Lego Batman and the guy in the helmet next to the FEAR pack? I think that's F1. Still, lemme know. Thanks.

    Fallout 3 GOTY is $20.09 (33%), Lego Batman is $4.99 (75%), and F1 2010 is $19.99 (50%).

    there are some drivers you will have to download. Though Windows 7 may come with them out of the box. But apart form that the wired controller works fine.

    Windows 7 automagically recognizes the wired 360 controller. You simply plug it into a USB port and about 30 seconds later you're all set.

    Previous versions of Windows require a separate driver download from Microsoft, but I think even Windows XP will recognize a 360 controller once you have the drivers. It may even prompt you to download the drivers as part of the hardware recognition/installation process.

    seriously. I'm trying really hard to save for an awesome gift for my wife but Steam has to go and be a dick. Besides, I hardly have time to play the games I already own.

    So... would buying stuff from your wishlist crap up your entry in the drawing that requires 10 games on your wishlist?

    I just picked up BC2 and F1 and went down to eight and when I went to the treasure hunt page, just to make sure, it had a red flag and "You need 10 games on your wishlist to qualify!". So I added two more just to be sure.

    You can also add a bunch of upcoming games to your wishlist, even those that don't yet have prices or release dates (like Portal 2, Space Marine, etc.)

    One concern I have is that the store page only has fullscreen screenshots, does anyone know if this version supports widescreen?

    The LucasArts Adventure Pack is on sale for $4.99, which is probably something that nobody besides me cares about.

    Fate of Atlantis + Last Crusade + Loom + The Dig

    Indy and the Fate of Atlantis is worth it, but I'm sure the other games are great too!
