I got a Team Fortress 2 item. Great. I don't even play Team Fortress 2 (care to guess why?).
Steam
Concept »
A digital distribution service owned by Valve Corporation. Originally created to distribute Valve's own games, Steam has since become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games.
Valve christmas presents - what did you get?
Well Ive got -33% valve game discount.
And I guess I wont do any other objectives becouse I dont own those games on steam. I mostly buy retail version of games and I have only those on steam which require steamworks so... not that much
How to use it? Every valve game is no 50% off. So it would be 88% but how to apply that coupon?
yup. for me Arkham City. but then again. i hear the PC version really sucks so it have to get pretty cheap for me to pick it up.Still waiting for something I don't already own goes on sale. As I said in one of the other threads about this, there are only a handful of games that I want on Steam that I don't already own and they are still too new for them to drop to a price I would be willing pay for.
I have two coupons in there when I was able to see it. I think that one is a mistake though. One is 50% off a Valve game and the other is 50% off a steam game. That latter seems suspect to me since it seems to good to be true and all these problems make me think it isn't true.
I've been getting a page that says error with a picture of Gabe Newell giving me the middle finger with a menacing, maniacal smile on his face for the last 30 minutes. :(
@Winternet:
Mind gifting it to me? Then I could convince somebody else to gift me their 50% off coupon, and I could have 100% off ALL VALVE PRODUCTS! (Unless they want to pull some mathematical limit thing on me; in that case, I'll just get more coupons until I get the desired effect.)
It works now. 33% of Valve games, oh yay. I can buy either the first L4D or HL Source. Whatever, it doesn't do to complain about useless free things.

So...Steam is completely on fire now right? I can't even get in to buy Singularity.
Burning and huddled in a corner while 4 million people try to steal its candy. I thought it'd be more stable now than when it started, but nope.
At least Dead Island says it's $27 now instead of flipping between $10 and $27. So there's that.
For me it was listed as 25 dollars yesterday, but everyone else said 20. Odd.

I've got the same error as you. At least I can actually load most of the store now...

Well so far I got:
Failed to load web page (unknown error).-118
Failed to load web page (unknown error).
And you?
me too!
and then I got an empty inventory when I should have some TF2 and Portal 2 items as well as a saved up gift copy of Aliens vs Predator 2000
edit: now it finally worked! ... I got a 33% Valve games coupon .... but I own all of them. Anybody wanna trade something?
I got Half-life 2, and Half-life 2: Lost Coast (which i believe comes standard with Half-life 2)...
This is kind of nice... although, i think i should have 2 gifts, since when you click on the store front gift page the first time, it says it going to give you a free gift... but it didn't, well, not for me at least.
The X% off Valve title coupons are the worst. They can only be used from Jan 2 - March 1st on games that exist before Jan 2nd.
That means they can only be used on games that are on sale right now for probably better than the coupon would discount, but can't be used now on top of the sale.
@Winternet said:
Yeah, I got a 50% discount on Valve products. Which sucks, because I pretty much own ALL of them.
Ya.... I read the fine print of that and instantly went from yay to boo. Was looking forward to getting something down the road at half price, but since it's only their current games it doesn't do a dam thing for me since I own them all.
So I was able to get to the page. It says to check my Inventory...nothing is there...Yeah, that's what I got.
@The_Laughing_Man said:So did we get screwed?So I was able to get to the page. It says to check my Inventory...nothing is there...Yeah, that's what I got.
I dont see even a 1. But it looks like the page does not wanna load.@The_Laughing_Man said:
So I was able to get to the page. It says to check my Inventory...nothing is there...same. it says "Steam (1)" on the tab but nothing on the actual inventory display.
Cool, I gt to the page as well and mine is in fact entirely blank.
I guess that means we win nothing?
It took me fucking forever to get my payment to go through, but I ended up getting Shogun 2 Total War, Mount & Blade Warband and all the King's Bounty games for $56.
Thats normal. The pages are having issues updating. Its now showing my extra copy of Terreia But not what ever I won.Hah! now the page loaded for me and I grabbed my "gift" and now my PB Winterbottom gift is gone and the page isn't displaying :D
