today is the encore finale. if you missed any of today's daily specials the first time around, pick it up now. if you've been holding off on getting something, today is the day to purchase it as well.

it's been a crazy holiday season this year. i hope you were able to pick up and even gift some nice items. if you're like most of us gamers, you have way to many, many you don't need, most you won't get a chance to play and will still be looking for more. here's to hoping we find time to enjoy these things, even just for a short while.

Ack. Beaten to it by 14 minutes.

Portal Bundle is $8.74! That's less than what I paid for Portal 2.

Okay, so I posted a deal direct-linking to the Portal Bundle twenty minutes ago, it was getting lots of upvotes and it got deleted. Why? Because it is a tiny part of this deal? Where should I ask this question? I'm a little bit peeved.

Anyway, yes, as @zvwang posted, it's a great deal. Here's the direct link: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/7932/

@dxdn: You could try emailing a mod about it, or venting in the questions area and hoping a mod notices.
The general consensus among wooters seems to be sublistings aren't duplicates: http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/af22e206-2da3-44a5-8efc-2fbcf72c5f1b/does-is-count-as-a-duplicate-when-the-entire-store-sale-is-listed-then-people-pos#7

@dxdn: I had the same thing happen to me a few days ago. From what I gather, they don't want the site cluttered up with 10 posts for the same thing.

Since the deal you posted(and 3 other people listed after me) are included in what I posted they were all deleted.

Do people get anything out of posting deals?

@hailfire753: a sense of well being, lots of friends, women but most importantly, it increases your reputation on deals.woot if people thumbs up it

I already got Portal 2, but I might pick up another copy for an obsessed friend.

vote-for1vote-against

In for way too many!

@zvwang: The only difference I can see in a regular event/sale post and this one is that I specifically listed some of the games? Maybe someone could post one of the games I didn't post? I would but am afraid of the judgment hammer of woot deleting it as a duplicate.

@justincredibleg: Yeah. Just took a nice nap and now with that bit of rest, I finally realized that you had listed Portal and Portal 2. I only read this list like, I dunno, five times, and missed it every time. Now I'm totally certain why my post got deleted. Shoulda just added the price as comment here like I did. Thanks for your feedback.

Well that stinks! I just bought Skyrim for the full $60. Got LA Noire at its really good deal, though, so that's a plus.

i hesitated on Skyrim when it was $40 a few days ago... I am in for one today~

Still debating whether to purchase the Valve Complete pack or just piecemeal finish it out... I save money by just getting what I don't have, but the dupes are giftable, right? NEway, the most outstanding omission in my collection is L4D1. I can use their sale and the 25% off coupon to cut it to $7.50.

vote-for1vote-against

Booya. I missed Skyrim when it was $40 before, and I am certainly not going to pass it up now! Thank you muchly.

@pocketbrain:
I just bought the Portal pack.
I already had the original through Orange box, and it told me the extra license could be given as a gift.
