Black friday game sales (steam etc) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Some of you may have missed this but there's some good sales out on steam, direct 2 drive, impulse..

I picked up Arkham Asylum for 50% off and Dragon Age for 25% off.

Got Brutal Legend for $35 on Amazon.

They also had/have(?) Arkham Asylum for $30.

Notable sales on Steam:

Left 4 Dead 2 is available at $37.49, and the four-pack is going for $112.49, which works out to just over $28 per person if you can get three friends to chip in. This seems kind of like a slap in the face to everyone who paid full retail not even two weeks ago, but there you are.

Star Wars: KotOR is available at the ridiculously low price of $2.49. Anyone who likes action RPG's ought to snap this one up -- it's the granddaddy of them all, and it's not likely to get any cheaper than that.

L4D2 is looking a might tempting right now.

Martian · 11-27-2009, 10:34 AM

You and I are of one mind.

I'm debating with myself; on the one hand, that is a most excellent deal. On the other, we are in the midst of Christmas shopping and I don't know if I can justify spending $40 on myself under the circumstances.

If I could find three other ~~suckers~~ friends who could chip in, I'd go for the four pack. I just don't know if I can organize that on short notice.

Is it worth saving an extra $10 to worry about the hassle?

Martian · 11-27-2009, 10:50 AM

If I knew three other people (well, two if I count you) who wanted but did not have the game then, quite frankly, yes it would be. A further 20% discount is nothing to scoff at.

But there's the rub. Nearly everyone I know who's actually interested in owning/playing L4D2 has already purchased it.

This bears further consideration.

Baraka_Guru · 11-27-2009, 10:54 AM

Well, if you could swing it, I'm definitely in.

I would have held out for the Dragon Age discount but they made the pre-order deal seem too sweet to pass up.

I paid 64.99 but it was still worth every penny.

you can complain about the discount on L4D2, but that really only makes sense if you feel the developer didn't deserve your money to begin with, and in that light, why did you buy it then?

on that note, this is making christmas shopping for my gamer friends really really easy, lol.
