Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Coppanuva - 11-21-2010
On the other hand I played for around 20 minutes this morning and had fun. I paid $0.10 for 20 minutes of fun. This is a good deal.

[/quote]AEIII, by about ten cents per hour. Plus if he ever gets more fun of it past this initial twenty minutes, the value will increase exponentially until it will eventually come close to zero cents per hour of fun at a much faster rate than BLOPS.
Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Versus - 11-21-2010
10c for 20 minutes = 30c/hour
$60 for 300 hours = 20c/hour

Map packs and the fact that you secretly didn't have fun at all.

Â He plays for ten more minutes he's on par value wise, and if he manages to achieve one hour of fun with it, it will take you another three hundred hours or so to reach the same value.
$60 for 300 hours = 20c/hour

Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Coppanuva - 11-21-2010
I kinda like 3 though... and I have played 2, it's alright but there's a lot more resources to worry about.

Direct2Drive is price matching other digital distribution stores this holiday. And Gamestop wonders why PC gamers don't give a shit about them.
Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Stein - 11-21-2010
I actually impulse bought something on the internet that isn't a woot shirt.
AoE III better be worth $.1
P.S. Good gif Karth, I remember that episode.

Might help if they had more than a quarter shelf of PC games anywhere from 1995-2010.
Though, I did pick up Penumbra Black Plague there for $5 a while back, so can't say they're complete crap (just mostly).
Re: Game deals Discussion thread - shoopfox - 11-21-2010
The last time I bought PC games from gamestop was at an EB games right after they got bought out and decided to hemorrhage out their pc stuff for like $5 or less. Apparently Wedge did the same
Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Greatbacon - 11-24-2010
So, for those who haven't heard yet, Steam launched it's Thanksgiving/holday/sale/thing today. On top of that they have some crazy bundle deals.Â
I thought I'd give back to the community a little bit with one of my favorite games, Deus Ex. So if you're interested, PM me and I'll see what I can do about getting you a copy till I run out.
Re: Game deals Discussion thread - Spore - 11-24-2010
I HAVE TO BUY 5 OF THE HALF-LIFE 2 TEN PACKS! Also, buying Shank today.
Edit: And every day, Valve is giving 30 people the top five games on their Steam wishlist. It's like Valve is rolling up all the big deals from other stores into their own.
Edit2: And it may be wise for a couple people to spring on some of the cheaper hyper bundles to use as contest prizes for BRBU. Oh, and yu didn't hear it from me, but Just Cause 2 may have an 8 pack in the coming days. It is about as worth it as worth it gets.
