also, AAaaAAa is fun, i had it preordered at $12 was it? but now it's even cheaper

Frontlines: Fuel of War is 75% off ($7.50) on Steam.

Scart · Nov 19, 2009, 02:00 PM

That's 2,5 EUR for us in Europe, btw

Is it worth it? I haven't heard much about that game, tbh.

John C Flett · Nov 19, 2009, 05:59 PM

Short answer, yes. For that price it's worth it. But if you want a bit more info there is an older thread about the game;

Don't buy. If you check the online server count - there are eight.

kn00tcn · Nov 19, 2009, 08:23 PM

ya, 8 on a weekday before all the people that bought from the sale

The game is much better than BF2. It had bugs on launch and that's why it didn't sell well. Lots of fun with a coherent SP campaign (unlike BF2).

Well worth the $8.

BababooeyHTJ · Nov 20, 2009, 06:51 PM

Left 4 Dead 2 $39.99 with free shipping at Newegg. Not too shabby for a "new" game.

kn00tcn · Nov 21, 2009, 03:11 AM

says $45

gogamer probably had it for $40 a few times too

What types of sales does steam run for black friday? I want to get borderlands but wanted to wait til friday to see what sales they run. Any chance it comes up?

kn00tcn · Nov 21, 2009, 07:13 PM

i dont recall last year's

what happened to splitting a preorder for $33.75 each, or were you unsure if you wanted the game then?

i don't think they have black friday sales. they do, however, have a pretty huge christmas sale which starts around december 20 or so. if you can hold out for another few weeks, you'll find that most of their games are discounted. not sure about borderlands though... it's a fairly new game, so i doubt it would be reduced a lot.

Screw it, I am going to buy it now.

Sweet deal, I can't decide if I should just pick this up from Dell or wait for Steam's black friday sale to see what happens. $30 is close enough to that $25 price point that I was looking for.

Also, all downloadable EA games are 30% off at the EA Store.

I'm not a big fan of EA Download Manager but I figured that someone might be interested.

i think at the cheapest steam's black friday will prob be 40 or so, prob better off with dell while it's still in stock. I know last year l4d wasn't going cheap on steam on blackfriday but who know they might change it this year.

are you sure about that? i honestly can't remember them putting up one last year, apart from the regular weekend deal. care to refresh my memory on what they did for black friday?

efin · Nov 23, 2009, 09:49 PM

Well, that was when they had started the THQ Collector's Pack for $99. It was originally going to just be for that weekend. And the "regular" weekend deal was the Titan Quest Gold 50% off.

Cartigan · Nov 24, 2009, 01:59 PM

Apparently EA is having a 30% off sale on everything downloadable from now until Nov 30.

Perky McGiggles · Nov 24, 2009, 02:26 PM

Not on Steam they aren't.

Which is why I said "EA is having a sale" not "Steam is having a sale on EA games"

Perky McGiggles · Nov 24, 2009, 02:49 PM

Then you should change "Everything downloadable" to "****ty EA store".

If you are going to be stupid, you might as well go all out and interpret it as "everything on the internet is 30% off because EA said so."

Scart · Nov 24, 2009, 04:18 PM

Is this US only? I see no 30% price reduction on their page.

BababooeyHTJ · Nov 24, 2009, 04:22 PM

Plants vs Zombies $4.99 at Steam. I'm going to bite, for five bucks why not?

Unless Black Friday is a major world event, it's only in the US store...
