Plus GMG is having flash deals if you need your fix of that sort of thing. ---

FFS, I didn’t say I needed flash sales, I just said it’s a bad idea on their part that will probably be corrected. ---

Wasn’t referring to you. Personally, I prefer rotating sales myself. I was speaking for the benefit of others who missed them. ---

Oh, sorry, after that and post #16 I thought people were getting touchy about the meta-commentary in the change in sale style. ---

I like flash sales and community voting. Isn’t there a proper holiday sale coming in December? ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > I like flash sales and community voting. Isn’t there a proper holiday sale coming in December? Yes, but it probably won’t have flash sales/voting either if the leak was accurate in that there’s only one discount per game. We’ll see on December 22nd. ---

Between GamesplanetUK and Amazon, I got Skyrim and the Dragonborn DLC for ~$6 total. ~$3.75 for skyrim and ~$2.50 for DLC. Both Steam activated. ---

Okay, having just finished playing Trine 2 with my 6yo daughter, I picked up Ori and the Blind Forest for $12, also to play with her. It’s lovely. ---

The only thing I picked up was **Elite: Dangerous** god knows when I’ll get around to playing it, what with the last sale being only a few months ago, and I’m loving **Fallout 4** ---

Went old-school with **STAR WARS™ Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy** for $2.99. Pretty good for a 2003 shooter. Nice walk down memory lane. This was _the_ game to play way back then. ---

Apparently Rome 2 TW bottomed out at $15. It was $15 last black friday. I decided to wait till it was $10, but in a year it never hit that. And now I’d feel stupid for buying a game at $15 that I could’ve also bought last year at $15, so I guess I can’t get it. ---

At the $15 tier 😛 ---

Yeah, but then you’d get a bunch of other games, too! Which you probably wouldn’t play anyway, but hey, they’ll be free! ---

I had a few games in my cart increase in price during the sale, or stop being on sale completely. Very odd. ---

GTA-V is on sale at $36. Do past sales indicate anything about it going on sale again during the Empty-Your-Wallet-On-Games-You-Don’t-Have-Time-For sale? Good to just pick it up now and risk missing out on another ten bucks in discount? Also, anyone know how it is for PC and whether it’s as in-depth as IV in terms of off-line play? I have no interest in online/multiplayer, so only care about story mode.
