Autumn sale friendly advice
​

for those who are new to steam sales -
Never tempt for a deal.
i know this is hard when it comes to steam sale, but have self control. NEVER buy anything that isn't a daily deal till the last day.

why so??

 

[Digital Fragger]

why so??

discounts are maximum during daily deal or flash sales.
say you buy civilization 5 today 66% off, and tomorrow it is on daily for 75%. you'll regret your purchase then. even if a particular game is not kept on daily or flash you can still buy it on last day since every game is kept on sale for entire sale period.

^ thanks for the advice

never noticed the changes in % off

 

[Skud]

Here's my take: if something's is going at 75%, grab it. Generally that's the maximum discount Steam gives, for newer (say released within 6 months) games wait for daily deals. Generally it never goes beyond 50%.

yup. 75% off is at max we can expect for most of the titles. very rarely few titles will be more than 75%. Train Simulator will be 90% for sure, as if anyone is going to buy it.

The best time waster money can buy I would say. And who doesn't love to drive a train?

Offtopic:Can i use visa/mastercard debit cards to purchase games on steam?I dont have a credit card or paypal account.

 

[arijitsinha]

^Which Bank's card are you using? Check this thread *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/internet-...information-regarding-indian-debit-cards.html

 

[rock2702]

Not working with sbi visa or pnb master card. Its saying"Your purchase has not been completed.Your credit card information has been declined by your credit card company".

I think their 3DSC service isn't properly implemented. Read the thread posted by Arijit.
See if your card works on a site that has billing in INR.

 

[dan4u]

^^use entropay, very few debit cards work with credit card payments. create an entropay account and use it like a normal credit card (there will be a small fee)

Steam's schedule is below. Daily deals seem to last 48 hours, flash deals last 12.

Deal	GMT	EST	PST
Daily	18:00	1pm	10am
Flash	22:00	5pm	2pm
Flash	04:00	11pm	8pm
Flash	10:00	5am	2am
Flash	16:00	11am	8am

One more thing, incase you missed a flash or daily deal, they might repeat.

Max Payne 3 @ $12(PC Download), in flipkart it is 699(DVD) Is it not better to get from flipkart?

I also saw in max cases, the game price after the discount is becoming same as on flipkart. I just want to know whats the benefit of getting the games from those sites? Just a noob question.
