The Weekend Steam - 1/5/10

PC News | This deal is a little bit racey.

This weekend's Steam deal is aimed at those gamers with a need for speed with the Codemasters Racing Pack selling for 75% off its recommended price for this weekend only. The pack contains digital copies of DiRT, Colin McRae DiRT 2, GRID and ToCA Race Driver 3, ensuring that even the biggest motor heads will get their high-octane feast of gaming. Those looking for a meaty role-playing game to sink their teeth into can pick up a copy of the Guild Wars titles, with the each title selling for 50% off to help celebrate the game's fifth birthday.

Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is a racing title which focuses on off-road racing, taking players across four continents to experience quite diverse and challenging real-world racing environments. As well as a challenging single-player career option to tackle, Colin McRae: DiRT 2 also features a number of multiplayer options to test your racing mettle. PALGN was quite impressed with how the title handled when we took it for a spin late last year. You can find our opinion of the game in our review here.

DiRT 2 is US$9.99 not 17.50

Yea the pack is $17.50 not Dirt 2. Which is a great deal seeings Dirt 2 is retailing for about $59 on 360 in stores. I suppose fuel is meant to be pretty bad but its probably worth a try.

Fuel is not too bad, enjoyable for a quick romp every now and then. It's very good for that price.

Bought the entire pack.

ToCA is quite awesome, even though the graphics haven't stood the test of time.

You could also include the entire Rockstar Collection in there too, I guess. Half price until Wednesday, I think, coming to about $50AU. Only on US/UK stores.

GTAIV is US$7.50 at the moment too.

The US/UK stores have the entire RockStar collection (inc. all GTA's + Lib City Episodes, both Max Payne's & Manhunt) for $42US. You just need to find somebody in US/UK happy to gift it to you.

G'day fellow PALGN members!

I purchased the Rockstar collection myself by doing the following steps using my VISA debit card (note these steps are not guaranteed to work).

1. Log in to the Steam client programme and go to 'Manage My Account'.
2. Make sure any saved payment details are deleted.
3. Close down Steam client completely.
4. Open your internet browser and delete all history and cookies etc.
5. Go to http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=us
6. Find the Rockstar collection and add it to cart
7. Log in with your Steam details.
8. At the payment screen, choose VISA and enter in your card's details (including security code).
9. Type in all your normal address details except country and state.
10. Country should be United States and State should be 'MN'.
11. Have the box ticked saying you live in the current country.
12. DO NOT tick box saving payment information.
13. Proceed to pay for the bundle.
14. Log out of the site.
15. Log into Steam client programme and start downloading.

As stated above this method worked for me however it may not have success for others or those that have Mastercard debit cards.

Also you can do the same method for the UK store (http://store.steampowered.com/?cc=uk) but choose United Kingdom as country and have the state as NSW or something. Sometimes due to our exchange rate or Steam prices, games can be cheaper from the UK store or even exclusive. The Rockstar collection is however cheaper from the US store.

Codemasters racing pack was great value. I was quite surprised to see Dirt 2 give me XBL achievements as well, not to mention run just fine on my 4 year old pc box at 1920 by 1200.
