The EA week on Steam

[Pete.Dakota]

The ME2 download server as just picked up for me. It was at 200kb/s for most of the day, dropping as low as 80, but now it's up at 600!

Virgin Media 10meg, btw.

 

[Kempster]

Be warned guys i think the servers are pretty busy! im currently downloading both Origins and Awakening @ 100kbs a sec each

How much GB do you have to download in total?

 

[NeoReloaded]

34 gig from what i can tell :s

Anyone having problems buying this? i get this message at the payment info screen.

Just try again they are probably getting hammered.

 

[JoDaMa]

Probably going to buy this in anticipation of getting a new PC, current laptop wont run it.

Could someone explain the difference between the normal and digital deluxe editions, Steam does not make it very clear.

Thanks.

And this is why I do love PC games.

I mean seriously... quality games for 3 pounds.

As far as I can tell you get some armour and an extra companion. Then a set of wallpapers (which is meh to say the least) and can download the soundtrack.

THE £3 ME WAS only one i bought tbh. awesome deal on that one, but the rest werent THAT cheap

 

[stooeh]

Downloading Awakening now, getting 490KB/sec which is maxing out my crapDSL connection.

 

[Ace Modder]

I have bought ME today

Steam cannot start the game as im getting an error "failed to contact key server"

Any ideas?

 

[neoboy]

Just keep trying, with Dragon Age download size servers must be having a hard time.

 

[Schizo]

i have only bought one game myself....mass effect.

rest where still to expensive.

 

[mithrandir]

Ended the week with Mass Effect and burnout Paradise

 

[Adsta]

DA awakening was the only thing I picked up still pretty happy with it though tbh

 

[carlazai]

Virtually all the deals this week have been cheaper at somewhere or other, so if you don't specifically desire the Steam integration it's been a pretty shoddy sale week all told.

But you forget how some guys on here wet their pants for Steam and all its rip offs. Everything steam does can be had elsewhere, all prices are cheaper from retail shops and the cd scratch/lost line can easily be overcome with a nocd patch. So essentially Steam = Apple in my eyes

You may be right to a certain extent, but in my case I'm happy to overpay a few quid for their service. I will be moving around a lot in the next 2 years, already downsizing to a desktop replacement laptop so having games on my Steam is ideal for me as I will not be moving any of my numerous game boxes around with me.
