* PC Gaming - Daily Deals Thread *

Komedy · 16 May 2011 at 20:16

Unfortuneatly I cannot update the first page of this post as I had been able to previously.

So instead inline with the clarified posting rules we can make it clear for everyone here what is allowed to be posted in the thread as we add the game deals we find each day and keep the thread useful.

We are allowed to discuss and post game deals from all outlets. However it is not necessary to provide a link or have to attempt to disguise name. Therefore strictly in terms of PC Gaming deals it is acceptable to name outlets such as

OCuK
Steam
Direct to Drive
Gamersgate
Origin
Dixons
Game
Play
Amazon
Tesco
GoG
Zavvi
Microsoft
Etc

This list is not exhaustive but you get the gist.

*** Exception 1 - AVOID posting game deals from other sites when OCuK stock the game. ***

*** Exception 2 - Under NO circumstances post or discuss hardware deals other than those from OCuK ***

Happy Gaming

I'm not sure you understand the commitment you just got yourself into. To make this thread a success, you will have to post the deals and discounts the minute they are announced.

I figure once a day is sufficient.

If they are not done the second/minute they are announced there will be 4 other threads.

soz the intention was not to list every item that might be on sale around the world but rather the highlights of Weekend Specials - Mid Week Madness - and now what appears to be the Daily Specials on Steam and D2D etc.

So instead of having new threads pop up once and twice a day regarding the Daily Deal it can be done in one thread.

Call me old fashioned

Also don't think you can link to some competitors.

Yes no links plz - was careful in the OP not to have links

(we, as in a OCUK mod, don't remember who) thought of the idea of having a steam sticky.

Problem is, after the thread goes to the 3rd page or so, we'll lose track of the deals. Also, few read stickies constantly...

Not sure about the stickies argument but I will be editing my OP each day so that days current deals are on the first post.

Gamersgate "Capcom Week" Added

You are missing loads of deals on Steam alone. Click the specials tab. Thread fail.

As posted earlier - maybe you didn't bother to read, the focus of the thread is to be the Deal Events, eg over and above the normal discounted items and things on offer as they are now becoming more frequent.

You take care now

D2D - 50% ATARI EVENT Added

Komedy · 17 May 2011 at 18:12

Tuesday Steam Deal updated - Majesty 2 - pfff

Komedy · 17 May 2011 at 19:10

oh the Daily Deal hasn't replaced the MWM as Worms Reloaded has just popped up at 50%. So we can still expect Weekend Deals I assume as well as these dailies.

Komedy · 17 May 2011 at 21:13

Singularity just got added to Midweek Madness which along with Worms Reloaded runs until Thursday 19th

Komedy · 18 May 2011 at 12:22

GoG Gem Wednesday has Sacred up for £2 odd.

Komedy · 18 May 2011 at 14:01

Added Greenman Gaming. Have a Ubisoft week going yet only 2 "Sale" items, others seem to be normal pricing.

Komedy, put expired deals in single posts in this thread so we can easily find them if something pops up at a later date

Do it every couple of days so that they aren't too spread over, though.

will look at a way to do this. Does the "Spoiler" Tag work on these forums btw ?

Mr Krugga said:
Just post in this thread every couple of days with the expired deals from the past few days/week and that will do.

Added a link to a Archive of Deals for those interested in checking back over the sale prices.

This way we can keep the OP size to a sensible ammount

Komedy · 18 May 2011 at 18:26

just think there r greasy rednecks all over the land pushing the purchase button right now :eek:

Komedy · 18 May 2011 at 18:37
