Today: Dawn of War 1 & 2 (http://store.steampowered.com/sale/dawnofwar)

Monday was Red Faction
Tuesday was Titan Quest
Wednesday was Metro 2033
Thursday was Frontlines: Fuels of War
Friday (thru weekend) is Dawn of War 1 & 2

Lately it seems a lot of the good Steam sales are games I already bought on sale (and often didn't play).

I haven't decided if I consider that more a good or bad thing yet, wallet vs. game collection.  :oh_i_see:

Yup, already got the THQ complete thing from that massive summer sale. Should be safe from this one.

Metro 2033 for $13.50, 66% off.

27.20 USD in Australia... I'd buy it at 13.50 but paying 100% markup just because they feel they can get away with it, no thanks.

Yeah I'm getting so sick of the regional pricing.  I'm pretty much boycotting all publishers that do it now.

It's possible for US/CAN customers to gift Aussies those games and get it for the US price.

Or you Aussies can just buy the boxed version for cheaper:

Why do you know this shit? Do you absorb all FPS related information waiting for Halo?

THERE'S A NEW HALO???!!1??!!  :drill:

I went to the effort of getting a US discover card and US billing address, and set up a steam account and bought Civ 5 for the US price and not $79.99 that they wanted to charge Aussies, but I felt stupid after.

The point is I can get around the region pricing if I want to, but that doesn't change the fact that these companies are doing it and I don't want to reward them in any way whilst they are.  I don't just find it inconvenient, I'm increasingly finding it obnoxious and offensive.

Fallout New Vegas is a disgusting 89.99 on steam but I'm really missing it.  I of course wrote an email to Bethesda as to why I'm not buying the game but they didn't even give a courtesy of a reply.  I haven't pirated a game for many years but I'm feeling the urge now.

Yes

I would totally buy Lego HALO.

But how do you feel about Mega Blox Halo, since they're the ones with the franchise rights?  Lego Halo, but done on a budget!

I get the point of your comment, but I just thought I'd showi you were you can still get a legit copy for half the steam price. I got my Metro from there for $13 on sale a month or so ago, too. It's back up to AU$26 or so now - which is their normal price, not a sale price.

Quick, what should i plunk down for?  DoW 1 Platinum for $15 (plus $10 if I want Soulstorm) or DoW 2 Gols for $20?  I'd probably mostly do single player.

For single-player DoW 2 is more like "HeroHammer 40K RPG" where you have a handful of heroes with their retinues and is very story driven. DoW is more like the tabletop game where you have full squads and the later expansions/games have strategic campaigns.

Cool, I've played enough of vanilla DoW 1 to know that's closer to what I'm looking for.  Went in for all expansions for nine armies.  :grin:
