Another steam "deal".

as much as I agree that all their deals are not great.... they do have great ones at time.

Usually the only deals that you can't beat on retail are Valve games and some ancient games which aren't easy to find from retail stores.

well holiday sales are usually pretty good too. And the packs.

I defend their deals cause I bought quite a few of these. But it's true that for individual games I often get retail.

I guess that is one more thing which I hate steam for. Their pricing policies for different regions. In €-region(!), you will save a whopping 2,2€. That is not too much, but considering that you can't sell the game you buy from steam, the deal is a bad one.

'Their' pricing policies are actually set by the various publishers.

Yes, their. The companies who sell their games through steam. Duh.

Yea, I have something like 100 games on my steam account and I haven't bought one single game for full price. I get some gifts and naturally I will buy if a good deal shows up.Holiday and summer sales have been awesome on steam.

But those packs are quite often bad deals. There is like couple of games which you will play some day and the rest will not be even downloaded.

how much is shipping tho?

also it's not like that sale is available world wide ether so for a lot of people around the world the steam deal is a very good deal.

Well.. That is what I meant on the first post. Those packs are almost always useless. They include games you aren't going to play or like in this case, I already own the other games in the pack. You don't even get extra copies to give as gifts or something. But of course if you don't own the games(and want to play them all), those deals are great.

UK: free shipping, rest of the world 1£ shipping. I believe it is available world wide.
