I won't call that cheap in the sense of sale, considering that in steam sales, you can get Dishonored for as low as $7.5 and BL2 for as low as $7.5 too.

yup, i got Dishonored at 7.5 too, which reminds me. i have not fired it up yet, not once i would love to have bioshock and borderlands 2

Well guys winter sale prices are hard to beat, can't expect that happening all year around.

How about an article about the alternatives and their current legalities? Like buying a used game disk + its online key and then applying an offline crack to have a secure backup with no idiotic social messaging/leaderboards or worthless DLC that wasn't good enough to make a real expansion pack? Or borrowing a game & its user-account from a friend for a single run-through, considering the low replay value of the interactive movies that pass for games these days?

Got Dishonored for $5 and played and beat Borderlands 2 last weekend for free. Can't beat that, haha.

Tom's: You can really do away with the *.99 pricing now. So instead of saying $19.99, just say "about $20" and we'll get it.

It is definitely gotten to the point I will never buy a new game on release. Wait 6-12 months you will get the same game for at least half off. I started this "wait and pay less" approach 2 years ago, and it sucked then since I was stuck with crappy, cheapy Steam games. Now however this approach is working like a charm since I have a good rotation going of games I buy in the cheap bundles, play those for 6 months, and a new one becomes available. If you can wait and get into this cycle do it - it will save you hundreds (thousands over years).

God bless steam sales! I have 130 game on steam and the average I have paid is less than $10 each, most were $50+ at release. I all I have to do is wait like Bondfc11 said. I feel sad for the console guys...

DLC not included? Not much of a bargain, then.
