Stupid Thanksgiving sale.

My internet has been out for almost a week, I am missing shit!

I would love to see their data correlating price and volume.  I wonder which price constitutes an impulse buy.  I know I've purchased games I've never played. (e.g. $5 KOTOR)

What? Introversion - Complete Crack? With Defcon and Uplink and Everything? Gimme!

Oh, and Grimrock there, for just 2.50...

Ow well, they bled me dry this time. I shiver upon the thought that in a month... there will be the dreaded X-Must Sale!

If you think Steam is good, try Greenmangaming.. MUCH cheaper then Steam for virtually anything, and they always allow coupon stacking.


For example they had Dishonored for $19 today, and sold out of keys, while Steam has it for $29.99 right now. I picked up Shogun2 + all DLC for $5.00 from them. Insane deals.. I rarely buy off Steam anymore because of GMG.

For example right now they have a 25% off coupon code that STACKS with the other discounts. So you guessed it, a 75% off game, you can apply another 25% off code.. That current code is;

GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q

Trine will cost you 98CENTS right now. I can't even begin to tell you the deals I have gotten off of them.. I bought the preorder Sim City Limited Edition off them for $27 last week, and that's $60+ everywhere due to it not even being out yet. Insane.

I don't know. I am more addicted to the planetside 2 sales than anything else. Got double creds on Black Friday. It felt like pirating.... and then I needed more.

 

I am thinking of breaking into my neighbors house and stealing their TV. I can fence it for some more station cash.

I did, actually, but the problem is that I don't believe it will quite survive the competetion like Steam. And a bankrupt digital distribution platform is trouble for those who own the games.

Problem is, that Greenmangaming is doing exactly same what D2D did in order to attract buyer - they maximize income, but at the expense of not making any profit (those 30% discounts from new games are from their margin).

Fantastically enough, I didn't buy anything!  :omg:

 

Grimrock was tempting, as was some other games I can't remember. But I held out  :fuzzy:

Talk about a test!   With that completed I can withstand almost anything now  }:)

 

 

Though the Christmas sale is fast approaching and I don't think I'll be able to withhold if things in my wishlist go on sale... X|

I bought XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Fall of the Samurai.  I'm now $51.75 poorer.

THIS is crack. 191$ worth of stuff for about 6$. Humble Bundle is nearly Steam's equal in crack.

When does the xmas sales commence? Not that I really need any new game :)

Should be in the next couple days.  I'd say Friday if I had to guess.

 

And yes, GOG has had tons of sales going on for older games.  I'm just waiting for them to bring back the D&D pack.  Their sales are running thru the new year so plenty of opportunity.

Money well spent, I say. Eador is a very good game.
