    2K doesn't have it discounted for some reason. Not in their package either.

    Maybe it will be one of the daily deals.

    I think it has been ~$30 at a few places recently (maybe an Amazon Lightning Deal?).

    Civ5 JUST came out. This is it's first Christmas season. Why would they discount it now?

    They had a pretty big discount on it at Fry's not too long ago. You'd discount it to outsell your competitors. That's why, among other reasons...

    Pretty much everything gets discounted (or should). Dragon Age had a similar release, and it was discounted during last year's sale (~$35 I think?). Think I bought King's Bounty Armored Princess for $10 during that sale too, and it was released in November 2009.

    Sweet. Was able to grab a few games I never got to play because my machine was old as dirt. I recently upgraded so now I'm going to give them a go.

    You missed it. When the sale first started, I definitely saw Civ5 discounted for around $33. Looks like they got rid of it. Same with the Valve pack, it was for $24 earlier yesterday but now its $50. I don't know if it was a mistake on Steam's part or they just realized they were too cheap.

    Bad Company 2 for only $7 is a hell of a deal....and BC2 Vietnam came out today....this game is amazing.

    Totally destructible terrain and amazing multiplayer game play.

    Best FPS of the year, IMO.

    Went ahead and bought it since it was so cheap. More interested in the single-player though. Don't have high expectations, but hard to be disappointed for $7.
    Which then leads to seeing a game on sale and thinking "Hmm...that looks interesting." But then you go to buy it, but Steam won't let you because you already have it. :eek:

    Happened today for me with Polynomial. Also got the Tomb Raider discount for Guardian of Light. Completely forgot I had a Tomb Raider game (think I got the Eidos package in one of the previous sales).

    Yep, $6.97 or something like that yesterday only. They have certain sales that are only good for 24 hrs. Everyday a new sale.
