Steam Christmas Sale 2012

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.

damn it was looking for a bundle and couldn't find one so ended up just buying the newest complete pack for £6 odd not happy why is this hidden!!

edit:its now coming up properly grrr

is it worth me trying to start a support ticket to try to upgrade to the complete pack if i pay the little extra? as it wasnt there when i went to buy it or will i have no chance?

Didn't the GTA Complete Pack go for £5 in previous sales?
Yes, it did.

I wanted to get it because I don't have San Andreas and Vice City on Steam, and it would be nice to have GTA 1 and GTA 2. Looks like I'll just buy Vice City and San Andreas separately.
 
Save yourself a penny and buy them separately if you're going to purchase Bioshock 1 and 2 :)



Thanks for highlighting this as I was interested in getting the XSuperbox. Is it okay to skip X2 and is X3 better overall?

You will likely only be playing the last two that come as part of the terran war pack, the rest are only really for those who want them all in their collection or have completed the last two as the others are much older now and don't really offer very different gameplay.

I have just picked up all the older ones as well as x3: reunion for a little over a fiver so it's safe to leave them for another sale as you will not lose out on much monetarily, though the superbox does come with some extra bonus content. At these prices though I would personally be buying the super box.
