Yeah, that's just what they want you to believe.  :evil:

Really, though, after getting stuck on a lot of games I wasn't even remotely interested in with a 20-pack game deal that was just too good to pass up, I always remember to ask myself the question: Was I planning on buying this game in the first place? If the answer is yes, then you should get it at a discount. If the answer is no, then you should leave it, because what you're spending for the discounted game is still more than what you were thinking of spending in the first place, which is zero in this case. It helps to think about that when the holidays sales get you in a spending mood.

Bioshock: $5, wanted to play it, wasn't high on my list of things to buy (I tend to buy maybe 2 games a year normally, if that, no job means little money).
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Already had, but wanted to get a new DVD version since I don't have any working backup if my install goes bad, and I screw around with the game a lot modding it (which is why I don't go for it on steam, they update it automatically and that screws up patches). I might even do a clean install now.
Far Cry 2: Heard good things about it, wanted to get it, got it and the DLC for $10 rather than just the game for $5. Not happy with that purchase, not being able to go 20 feet in a vehicle without getting shot at is tiring, as is the tendency of enemies to take 6 or 7 7.62x51 bullets to the chest without flinching, and their ability to see through completely opaque foliage. That said, it is a lot of fun to bomb a convoy, or just blow the hell out of a vehicle with explosive crossbow bolts.
Mirror's Edge: $5, wanted it since before it came out, was planning on paying $20, but keeping an eye on Steam and the sale flyers in case it was cheaper.

$25 for four games I wanted, I know I'm happy with 2 purchases, probably 3. Good deal.

It's probably good I really can't spend any more, otherwise I would probably buy the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game from amazon.de, since Germany got it november 2 or so, and we don't get it elsewhere in the world until Q1 2010.

Yes, welcome to consumer psychology.

LTK:
The five-day sales are over now, but there are still plenty of discounts available at lots of sites. A heads-up:
Steam has Counter-Strike for 75% off.
D2D still has the 24 days of Christmas sale: The US gets the Battlefield 2 collection today and Dragon Age tomorrow.
The UK gets Champions Online today and Rome: Total War tomorrow.
Impulse has twelve games on sale, among them Bioshock, East India Company, and Elven Legacy.
Play.com gives you two of these games for 25 pounds, and delivers them free.
