    So I just transferred what I want to be my max amount of money for steam sales from my savings account to my debit card account.

    So, should I get Fallout 3: GOTY?

    Hmm, none of these prices are doing much for me just yet. Maybe I'm just too cheap.

    I hope the new stalkers go on sale for cheaper. Or maybe Fallout 3.

    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!

    I would care if I hadn't already purchased those adventure games and basically every other one from the same era at least 12 times by now

    Seriously, I was going to buy that LucasArts Adventure pack, I've been staring at it for weeks

    So glad I held off, it was one of my first sale purchases, sadly enough

    Yeah, they've had them for super cheap before. I'm surprised that they are so high. I think Mass Effect has hit $5 in the past.

    It's double that here. Sometimes I despair for region pricing.

    No wait, always.

    Anyone else note that Activision games are conspicuously absent from the sale this year? Did they participate in the fun previously?

    I'm doing well, didn't buy much in the previous sales then this comes along with pretty much all the games I want on sale. It's just not fair.
    Also Stranger's Wrath and Munch's oddessy on PC finaly.

    Darksiders is currently 33% off, and I think D2D had it on sale recently for less than that. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up as a daily deal title, especially since it's not in the THQ pack.

    Also, Darksiders is a Steamworks title, so no matter where you buy it, it registers on Steam.

    They tend not to be.

    They also release map packs for COD that are the same price as an entire multiplayer expansion for Bad Company 2.

    Make of that what you will.

    Don't do it. The newer ones have the terrible Ubisoft DRM.

    yeah, i LOVED PoP 08, but ever since they dicked me over by withholding the ending to the fucking game, my boycott of ubisoft has been absolute and complete. i don't see this sale changing it, either.

    Well I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I'd say Sid Meier's Railroads! is the best because RT3 didn't work for me, and because RT2 is a less pretty and less big version of Sid Meier's
