As the dust settles from the Steam Summer Sale, Cassidee from Leviathyn.com asks why console digital marketplaces don't start to implement Steam-type sales on their games.
I love Steam and it's sales. It's pretty much the reason why I don't turn my PS3 on often anymore.
I've spent maybe $100 so far this sale (which is nearly over now [probably a good thing]), and bought:
- Alan Wake - Alan Wake's American Nightmare - Beyond Good & Evil - Dead Island - Dear Esther - Dragon Age: Origins (Ultimate Edition) - F.E.A.R - F.E.A.R. Extraction Point - F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate - Fallout: New Vegas - Half Life - Half Life 2 - Half Life 2: Deathmatch - Half Life 2: Episode 1 - Half Life 2: Episode 2 - Half Life 2: Lost Coast - Half Life Deathmatch: Source - Half Life: Blue Shift - Half Life: Opposing Force - Half Life: Source - L.A. Noire - SimCity 4: Deluxe - Team Fortress: Classic
I also bought every bit of Dungeon Defenders DLC (excluding skins) for less than $10.
I should also note that all of these games came with all of the DLC when I bought them.
On consoles I'd probably be able to pick up L.A. Noire, Dead Island, and Dragon Age: Origins for the same price.
Those games at gamestop used would only cost $50. Either way steam sale is epic I could only get betheseda pack, fallout 3, binding of Isaac, and terraria though because I spent my money on building a pc
