I wish they would have just made The Sims 3 and all the DLC into a bundle for £20-25 or something. I haven't played it since the first one (which I loved when I was younger) and wouldn't mind playing it as I think it'd be great for when I'm just watching TV or SC2 tournaments online since it doesn't require loads of concentration and pausing it doesn't "break" the gameplay like it would in the middle of an action scene. It's always interesting just cheating and building ridiculous houses and stuff too .

Buying just the game itself without the DLC, seems pointless, and there's no way I'm going to pay over £100 for the DLC :/.

Oh well, it probably sucks anyway .

Edit: Lol, I just noticed that all the DLC has 50 or 66% discounts on it, the pre-sale price of all DLC is £300 . I guess there's no way I'll ever be buying Sims 3 then .

The price of the sims expansions is just disgusting in my opinion. I own all of them bar seasons and not a single one of them should ever have cost more than £15 at any point and I personally think only the super natural pack and late night should ever cost £15. The rest should be £10 and the stuff packs should be £5. Charging £30 for an expansion that barely adds 1/5th of the content the orginal game has is unacceptable.

Does anyone else think that games companies now make a game and then have a meeting to see what they can make DLC and take out to make even more money out of us?

No.

I think they have that meeting before they even make the game. :eek:

Is there a games company for the people?

Games companys are not your friends, they want your money.

Yes, ones that are starting out and want to make you like them.

It can be had for half that in the MM

Exactly. It's not a "great price" when it's been cheaper elsewhere, and was also given away with just about every gfx card bought in the last 3 months

Had it been £5 I'd have bought it.

I don't thinkso, I have it and the hype is not justified, yes you can make decisions but you generally end up at the same place!

Same here. It seems to have been on in past sales, and though I keep my eyes open I'm begining to think it's not going to happen this time around...

X3 is on sale, it's just not on any of the daily offers. It's 50% off until 5th Jan

Does anyone think there'll be a chance Far Cry 3 will have a discount during this sale?

All except CDProjekt and some of the PC based indies possibly.

Wow Lego LotR is significantly more expensive than it was on Amazon.

Judging by how naff all the other discounts have been, I doubt it.

I think Valve are trying to wean us off the sales.

FTL is a good pick up.

Its £10 at the minute and its been £5 in previous sales. If it hasn't went on by the final day then I'll buy it.
