Steam's holiday sale boasts 10-75% off everything
75
Steam is having a rather tantalizing holiday sale from now until January 2, with everything in the store 10% to 75% off. In case you missed it the first time, Team Fortress 2 is back down to $10. We recommend picking up BioShock if you've never played it, now only $5. The Valve Complete package is 25% off, now only $75, and the id Super Pack -- which nets you every single id title before Quake Wars -- is just $35. Our holiday money is officially spoken for.

That's the only thing I hate about Steam. Why does it have region limitations? I *need* to buy Bioshock at this awesome price, but it won't show up in the Steam Store.
I spent ages wanting to buy Beyond Good & Evil, and it was available just some months ago. Why does this happen?

Also highly tempted by
Dawn of War ($9.99 or $29.99 pack)
Mount & Blade $15
Darwinia/Multiwinia $5 or $8 pack
World of Goo $15
Shame they didn't reduce Longest Journey much, as i've been meaning to pick that up...

Everyone needs to get Darwinia/Multiwinia. Darwinia is an amazing, unique singleplayer experience, and Multiwinia is the best way to kill 10-20 minutes. Not long most RTSs where you have to set aside at least an hour to really get going.

Is it 75% off the Halflife 1 which was $1 before?
Maybe then I'll consider it ;)

I grabbed me the Unreal pack and the id Pack. Pretty happy with the prices, especially seeing as we can get the Valve complete pack for £39.74 ($58USD). For once we have the cheaper prices! :O

iD Superpack nets you everything before Quake 4. Nobody cares about Quake 4 though.
Planning on picking up WiC in store (gift card ftl), a Radeon 4830, and the iD and Unreal Packs.

Bought Peggle Deluxe and Alien Shooter: Vengence. Couple more I'm looking at. X-com collection for less than $12 is insane.

Perfect timing. Just picked up Left 4 Dead and Audiosurf for less than $45.

Bioshock for only $5!? If only I had the hard disk space... and the RAM.

Buy it anyway. With steam you have unlimited installs. If you don't download it for 3 years that's fine...then when you do have a PC you've got bioshock for 5 bucks, one of the best shooters ever made.

My personal favorite deal: Civ 4 complete pack (civ 4 with 2 expansions) for 25 bucks! There probably isn't a game more addictive on steam than this.

If you haven't got Bioshock, and you won't pick it up for $5, I will have to come over there and beat the stupid out of you!

A little help please? I can't seem to find Bioshock anywhere on the Steam Store :(

At the very least I'm picking up Quake Wars, maybe Fallout 2 or CoD4 or World At War. I just wish I didn't buy World of Goo on Christmas, and Aquaria a few days prior...

Oh yea, it's times like this where I love being a PC gamer and having a high-powered rig. :D
