I could have swore the X superbox was a fiver last year.

The only way they can save this sale is with half life 3 being released in the last day.

I paid £15 for the Terran War pack earlier this year, have now grabbed all the rest for just over a fiver. No regrets whatsoever.

I'm getting fed up of Steam increasing the "before" price so they can claim "XX% off" when it's nothing close to reality.

They weren't selling the Superbox for 39.99 before the sale, so it's completely bogus to claim 9.99 is 75% off.

If you do a quick Google, you'll see that in the *last* sale, it was "50% off" for the same price. Ie, "before" price was 19.99.

For this sale they've decided the "before" price was 39.99. Just goes to show Valve aren't above pulling dirty tricks.

This is what Watchdog and other people are complaining about supermarkets doing this and yes it is illegal.

Hmm I guess after seeing the usual deals, the interest in the sales has waned.

This is the first time I have seen the thread not instantly updated after new rounds of deals lol

Think they're having a laugh with Skyrim.

Personally I'm waiting until Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind GOTY bundle are a tenner for the lot or Skyrim GOTY for a fiver and if that's next Christmas sale, so be it.
