Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V6! You can find link to past threads at the bottom of this post. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

With the V6 Thread, we're trying a slight formatting change. We used to list every possible Steam deal in the OP, but they change too frequently for anyone to keep up with (even in the Wiki format). So now, we'll leave regular minor sales out of the OP. This post will keep track of major sales (Winter sale, etc.), Steam deals available through other sellers (like Amazon), Preorder deals, and Group Buys.

I would still greatly appreciate help from you folks at home in keeping this smaller-scale OP up-to-date. This is a Wiki post so anyone can contribute. Wiki instructions:
Thanks for your help! If you notice a sale has ended, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see something does need to be added, then kindly add it to the list.

Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.

Steam Sales - Updated 1/22


CAG Threads Featuring Steam Games on Sale Elsewhere - Updated 1/9


Preorder Deals - Updated 1/10
Group Buy Deals - Updated 1/9/13
Several multiplayer Steam games are available in 2-packs or 4-packs. These packs offer a discount over buying multiple copies of a game separately. We also maintain group buy trade threads for several games, so please use those threads if you're interested in setting up a group buy.


Free Stuff - List needs updating with F2P games!
There are several free games and mods on Steam. These are a few choice ones; you can find a full list here. Note that free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.


Steam around CAG

If you are interested in joining the Steam CAG Community or participating in a trade or group buy with fellow Cheap Ass Gamers, please do so in the dedicated threads and not in the deal discussion thread. In the dedicated threads you will find CAGers with the same specialized interest who will be much quicker (and happier) to respond than in the Deals thread.

Past Special Sales

Visit www.steamgamesales.com to check previous sale prices on Steam games. We do keep track of some older sales here though:

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

Steam's explanation and list of Steam-activatable keys

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card. The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

Other Keys that can be redeemed on Steam (CAG tested & verified)

  • The Ball (bought @D2D, tested by voken)
  • Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (gives both FA and original, bought @amazon, tested by vism)

That's good to know. Awesome deal.
 
If you buy the combo pack with the guide can you buy it to your inventory and redeem the guide separately then give the game itself away?
 
Wow! I had time to buy the game then go back and buy the Dragon Master Pack and then go back and add all DLC to cart, remove non-discounted stuff plus duplicates from DMP and buy. I figured the glitch would be fixed before I could finish all of that.
 
[quote name='UW_Shocks']I bet the people who bought Sleeping Dogs yesterday for $17 will be raging!!![/QUOTE]


I'm glad I didn't. I wanted it, but anything over $15.00 starts to rub up against my CAGness.
 
[quote name='tcbys']About time the Steam Wintersale started.[/QUOTE]

The Real Steam Sale starts here!

I bought 2, gifted one to a friend.
 
Grabbed SD for 4.50. Now, can't decide on dlc. Game looks cool, but I don't know how much time I'll actually spend playing it.

I paid $5.90 on GamersGate and I'm raging! :lol:
 
[quote name='Stonekeep']There's a lot of useless dlc though .[/QUOTE]

Ssshhhh! Stop making sense! It's 91% off! Let us just have this one moment! ;)
 
Wish it was 91% off something I didn't already have... but I picked up all the DLC and an extra copy of the base game (which I put in my inventory)
 
[quote name='Stonekeep']There's a lot of useless dlc though .[/QUOTE]

This. Most are skins and extra crap. I only picked up the Nightmare DLC it is really the only one that adds something to the game instead of skins and such.
 
The Winter Sale has just started.


I'm disapponted that price of Witcher II is still -75% rather than -91%. :lol:
 
[quote name='Motoki']If you buy the combo pack with the guide can you buy it to your inventory and redeem the guide separately then give the game itself away?[/QUOTE]

Double-checked its CDR entry. Nope.
 
I think I'm just going to grab ghosts of north point and be happy. Rest is just cosmetic really and I already beat the game, and have way to much in my backlog to justify grabbing the dlc as I doubt I will replay it any time soon.
 
[quote name='Motoki']If you buy the combo pack with the guide can you buy it to your inventory and redeem the guide separately then give the game itself away?[/QUOTE]

No, I bought it a few minutes ago and it's a both or nothing deal.

. . . and it's been fixed.
 
[quote name='Motoki']If you buy the combo pack with the guide can you buy it to your inventory and redeem the guide separately then give the game itself away?[/QUOTE]


no
 
$3.83 for all DLC, excluding the ones not on sale. Just be sure to purchase the dragon master pack first since it's cheaper than buying individually.

this is one case where it's buy now, think later
 
If I don't already have Portal 2, is it a snag at 5 bucks or should I wait for the next sale? I doubt I'll play it anytime soon, just don't know how cheap Valve games go.
 
[quote name='poxi']Just roll out dlc list and click 'add all to cart' button[/QUOTE]

Thanks. I only managed to get two of them before they fixed the glitch. Oh well. Still happy.
 
Fun while it lasted, and now we get to see the fall out of people raging that both missed this price and bought it at the actual sale price. :D
 
Now that the Sleeping Dogs shenanigans is out of the way, Sims Medieval Pirates and Nobles expansion which just showed up last night after being gone from Steam without reason for the better part of a year is down to $10.19. That's probably about as low as it is going to go. No Aus/NZ price glitch this time it looks like.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/102822/

It's glitchy and hard to get the page to show, but you can buy it. I did last night for $15 :p

What I found works better is to not go to it straight from the url link or the Steam main page, but to go to the page for another game, then either from there paste that link in or search for it.

Sometimes it shows up as DLC under the Medieval page too, but more often than not it disappears.

I have no idea if it truly is making a comeback or this is a glitch so if you want it grab it because it won't go significantly lower than this price barring a price mistake.
 
Well I thought I was done. Good thing I checked here one last time before logging off for the day. Just grabbed the Game + Guide & all the discounted DLC. Didn't expect to own this game for another six months.
