50% off flash sales on Hotline Miami and Fallen Enchantress for the next 11.5 hours or so on Steam.

Rock8man:

I really wish I could have gotten in on Dragon’s Dogma. It’s not the sort of game that I think I have the patience for, long term. But I wanted to experience its quirkiness for myself, and $10 seemed like the perfect price tag for that kind of a short “I’ve experienced it now I can put it away” type thing.

Ugh, me too. I just picked it up for trade-in credits at a local game store and … the copy is scratched. And of course it cost way more than 10 bucks! Maybe it’ll come back like Forza Horizon did …

Steam currently has flash sales on Fallen Enchantress for $19.99 and Mass Effect 2 for $5.99

NON GAMING BARGAIN QUESTION :

Anyone seen any deals on iTunes cards this weekend? I’m in need of several small ones to give as gifts to people.

Rock8man · 2012-11-24T09:54:01.000Z

That’s still potentially a gaming bargain question isn’t it Slainte Mhath? Can’t you buy games on the app store using iTunes cards? (I don’t actually know, since I have never used anything iTunes related).

Chivarly is $12.50 on Steam. Get it! The first major patch was released recently and the game plays better than ever. A ton of fun.

Was anyone organizing a 4pack on this earlier?

That microsoft store sale is crazy.

Hopefully they’ll restock titles throughout the weekend.

Tempted to pick up copies of Forza Horizon to hand out as Christmas presents.

If you have a membership, Sam’s Club has 4x $25 for $80 here. Thurs/Fri Bestbuy had the $100 cards for $80, but otherwise I’m not sure if lower denominations were on sale this weekend.

Office Depot has $30 packs (three $10 cards per pack) at two for $45.

Similar to the BB deal, I believe that was only valid for Friday, but I could be wrong.

edit: nvm, found it is valid today as well

How about Steam cards? Are they available at retail and does anyone discount those?

Armiger · 2012-11-24T10:55:36.000Z

I’ve seen them at Gamestop, but I don’t recall any discounts.

malkav11 · 2012-11-24T11:04:10.000Z

I noticed something odd on Steam just now. Max Payne 3 is 50% off for a price of $30. The Rockstar Pass DLC bundle is 50% off for $15. Buy the package that includes both and it’s priced (undiscounted) at $20.

I’d be in for a 4 pack.

Excellent point! You can indeed use iTunes gift cards to purchase apps from the app store. Thread relevance - VALIDATED. ;-)

Cool, that would work very well. Thanks Ryan!

SlainteMhath · 2012-11-24T11:37:32.000Z

Steam Flash deal for the next 8 hours on Fallen Enchantress - $19.99.
Not sure if it’s been any cheaper than that already this weekend on Amazon or wherever, so you may want to look around first before commiting.

tgb123 · 2012-11-24T12:25:05.000Z

Disciples III - Resurrection is $5 on Steam and Greenman. I played the first D3 (Renaissance) and found it generic and soul-less. Is this any better and/or worth $5?

TimJames · 2012-11-24T12:32:50.000Z

Still no Total War: Shogun 2 complete pack with the Fall of the Samurai standalone expansion included (plus all the DLC). I guess I’ll leave it on my wishlist. I still need to play Rome.

peterb · 2012-11-24T12:44:57.000Z

Rome is still the best of the bunch anyway.
