| Valve wrote: | The Steam Holiday Sale is on now through Sunday, January 1, 2012. In addition to huge savings throughout the store, the 2011 sale features two special promotions that allow you to win like never before.
The Great Gift Pile challenges gamers to complete up to six objectives each day. Completion of each objective grants the chance to win a free game or discount coupons for select games available on Steam. If you don’t win, no worries, you’ll be given a piece of coal. But hold onto that coal!
Why?
Coal is the ticket to enter the Epic Holiday Giveaway. It’s called Epic because the top prize is every game on Steam. The more coal you have, the better your chance of winning. Players may alternatively choose to magically mix their coal into something shiny and new by “crafting” seven pieces into a gift from the Great Gift Pile. So this year receiving coal is a good thing.
Didn’t get what you want? Of course Steam allows you to trade coal and prizes with your friends. |
Daily deals with Xmas-themed achievements.
Get those themed achievements to earn gifts or coal.
A gift can be coupons or free games.
Coal can be traded for gifts or will get you an entry to the epic giveaway on 2nd January.
Oh and everyone gets a free gift to start off with (from the sale page I think). Mine was 33% off any Valve title.

This happened to me, I checked later in the day and I have a few vouchers. Steam servers are taking a beating at the moment.

Batman Arkham City is included in the Warner Bros complete pack for $75. That's an awesome deal along with all those other games.

After restarting Steam about 50 times just to make the inventory work... I found out that I got myself a free copy of Half Life 2.
Thanks Valve! I'll put it right alongside my launch-day collector's edition disc.
I'll end up giving the spare copy away at some point.

and so it has begun. O_O
Well for my free gift I got a 25% off token for any Valve game, shame I already have almost every Valve game, and the ones I don't have I don't want. 
So does anyone want it? Happy to trade

I got a 50% off Valve game token. I probably wont use it.
Also, now I have a job, I fear this sale.

$7.50 is an insane price for Portal 2!

There's sometimes a delay between getting the achievement and receiving your present. Steam's servers are busy.
