The real question is 'do you have to claim your 100 games straight away'??

If so -- horrible! Choose 100 games right now that you don't have on steam, that are available now.

By about #20 I'm completely stuck!

Tricky but I think a situation I'd like to find myself in

I'd probably end up going for games I normally wouldn't consider which got decent reviews. Chances are I'd enjoy some of them.

remember, you need at least 10 games in your wish list to qualify. I wonder if pre-orders are acceptable?

I'd quite like to be put in that position myself.

Though if I could gift some I definitely would.

Chime is quite simply a bargain for £1, ended up gifting it to a few friends because i thought they'd like it too.

183 Games on my steam account, so hopefully I wont end up buying too much .

Good luck with that. I went into the Thanks giving sales with less than 340 games, and I'm up to 370 now.

Steam is a cruel mistress.

They are, in the one last week where 30 people won 5 games per day, a lot of the games were witcher 2, deus ex 3 etc

Don't tell people

7 days with 4 missions each? I've got 3 already.

I wont be buying any games just to complete objectives, but I do see some TF2 hats in my future.

Also, I notice people are wanting the chrimbo sales to start. There's three games at discount price already. I suspect they'll be more coming with the new challenges. A nice warm up to the full on sale at least.

Hopefully they don't put the same games on sale at a lower price when the "real" sale comes along.

These prices are quite decent I reckon, that's the lowest I've ever seen any of them.

A pound for Chime is a bargain, and Poker night has barely been out two weeks.

For those whinging about having to buy games to enter the competition, read the T&Cs carefully and you'll notice:

Steam said:
Alternate Entry: To manually enter the Sweepstakes, each eligible entrant must print his or her name, address, city, state, country, postal code, email address, Steam account name, and telephone number, as well as the name of the Treasure Hunt objective that the entry is for, on a self-addressed 4x6 note card and mail the completed form to: Valve Corporation, P.O. Box 1688, Bellevue, WA 98009-1688. Note cards mailed in envelopes will not be accepted. No e-mailed or faxed alternate entries are eligible. Facsimiles, photocopies or mechanical reproductions of entries will be void. An alternate entry must be postmarked during the applicable Treasure Hunt period to be eligible. To be eligible for the Grand Prize Drawing, an alternative entrant must have entered at least 10 Treasure Hunt objective drawings and then provide an additional alternative entry for the Grand Prize Drawing, postmarked December 20, 2010. Alternate entries received after December 31, 2010 will not be eligible for any Sweepstakes. Each user may submit one alternative entry per Treasure Hunt objective. Proof of sending or submitting an alternate entry is not proof of receipt of such alternate entry. And no, alternate entries won't earn you any TF2 hats.

You won't get any TF2 hats that way though

I wasn't aware Valve spoke Clingon...

...seriously it made about as much sense ><

He's the only character that bets his item in the game for me, he has bet it ten times now or something stupid like that.

It's Klingon :/

Also, it's very sensical.... Are you sure you're reading it correctly, from the right angle, orientation and marmalade smeared view specified?

iNPUt · 7 Dec 2010 at 23:31

Yay I got the gun, now that game will never get played again

davewhite04 · 7 Dec 2010 at 23:35

Poker and Chime are amazing value, hopefully the proper sales will start at least on the 20th otherwise I'll be spending 100s on games I won't play! Well, I would play Assassins Creed 2, so hopefully that will be cheap
