Just be patient. Strategy is, don't buy anything unless its on a Daily/Flash Deal as that is as low as it will go. Then on the last day sweep up anything you have on your "wish list" that didn't appear as a daily.

Even the flash sales are poor.

Batman Arkham City - 66% off upcoming flash deal = about £7

I bought it off gameflys for £4.99

The Witcher 2 - 60% = £12

I bought it for £12 retail

So this is what Steam is going to be like until the 22nd then? :confused:

Was going to get the Bethesda pack but was very disappointed that it doesnt have fallout 3 or oblivion. Seems to me like an upsale on skyrim i.e. you want skyrim well have some 2nd rate games as well for a similar normal sale price. Not happy.

I've noticed an increasing trend towards this with the packs on Steam; you used to get a lot of "Complete" or at least very expansive packs perhaps minus any very recent title that was still selling at full price. Nowadays there seems to be a lot of cutdown packs with titles missing. Some examples from current sale:

-Rockstar "Hits" Collection, only has 4 games in it compared to big pack in the past.
-2K collection, only has 7 games in it for £40
-THQ collection WTF, I bought a massive pack from THQ back in 2009 (to be fair this has modern games in it, but it is missing some golden oldies).
-Bethesda and id software packs have somehow diverged? Same company innit, used to have a big pack all together

My eyes lit up when I saw a Ubisoft collection as I want Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, but it isn't in it :(

Activision Hits Collection is kinda taking the **** a bit, they want £35 for 10 games of which half are from 2005 and earlier, the other half of which not big names and have IIRC been heavily discounted to under a fiver in the past.

Current community vote is annoying as the only game I don't have is Saints Row 3 and I hated SR2, thought it was atrocious.

This is Activison, the people behind Call of Duty, are you surprised? :p

The fact Modern Warfare 2 is £20 has actually completely shocked me, but Modern Warfare is still £19.99! Its 6 years old!

The SEGA pack is insanely good though! Every Total War game + a few other modern games + just about every game from the SEGA classic range is in it too.
