Is it worth getting Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition if I already have Street Fighter IV?

I would say yes as you get additional 14 characters, gameplay tweaks etc especially at this sale price

Ow and for people with SSD's like my self that are going to have to move some games to a separate drive with things like Max payne 3 being 30GB you can use steam mover

Lets you move games to a separate drive and they will still work in steam like they in the default folder.

Guys I see one of the games I wanted to get some time ago Super Street Fighter IV AE, @ £6.24. thats a steal right lol and any opinions on the game? last time I saw it on sale was around £12 but didn't get it then .

I recently got it on pc for a couple of quid more as i have it on my 360 but refuse to buy xbl as i prefer single player LOL.

Pc version is so much better and i can still find online matches whenever i look

And to mithrandir.

There are 4 new characters in AE. Evil ryu, Oni, Yung and yang.
If you think you would like these 4 characters and they are worth the price then go for it but they are the only difference from normal ssf4

Edit: i see you said you only had sf4 not ssf4.............in that case its worth every penny as there are loads more characters than vanilla sf4

^^ That sounds great!

Oh man, I just got the dreaded failed transaction error when buying some games with Paypal. Never happened to me before.

FFS!

The money has come out my account and the games are in my list but I know whats going to happen, Steam will restrict my account cos they didnt get the payment.

Ive just sent a message on steam support.

Frickin typical.

But the GGG version doesn't include the DLC?

just the base game at GGG but £10 is still cheapest i have seen it

Max Payne 3 50% off I will have that! Think I will also get Mafia 2.

Finally, is it worth getting Dirt Showdown? I really like the Dirt games and now this one doesn't require GFWL it means I am tempted to get it. Is there a chance it will be further reduced in price or is it worth £22 on steam? I know it's arcadey and more destruction but I like that sort of thing.

For moving games off my SSD I use gamesave manager:
http://www.gamesave-manager.com/

fantastic program with many functions, including moving games by symbolic links, and still updated (unlike steam mover)

Bah typical! I buy (already reduced) Max Payne 3 only for it to be reduced further hours later

The extra characters aren't even close to 1% the reason to buy Arcade Edition, its the balancing, its next to perfect. Except Ryu and Ken, but they've been broken since Super Street Fighter Turbo almost 20 years ago.

LoL i mentioned the obvious changes and as for the balancing not all people would notice that. ive played every version of sf4 and they all seem pretty much identical to play. Im just 1 of those people who dont really take notice if a character does too much damage with a certain move etc.

Just a casual gamer me

Does this link to the moved games thou?, Only thing I want as my SDD is running low on space but I still want to be able to play them XD

Edit: Never mind, had to expand the features part of their website. Where it indeed lists this feature XD

For those who are looking at the Anno 2070. If you click on the main offer its also in a bundle with all 9 DLC's for an extra £2 (i.e. total £16.99) just underneath the add to cart. Which seems cheaper than the getgamesgo.com offer

Yeah its a great application in general, not just for moving Steam games.

Yeah does look better developed than steam mover. Shall be using this once I purchase Max Payne later on. Going to be a nice hit for the SDD. Going to move some old games I don't play until I got bored of Max Payne and move it to an external drive XD

Sucks!, Hopefully you're able to get it resolved quick. I'm sure they will have made preparations for this with I guess it happening a lot with previous sales etc
