It was on special Day 1 wasn't it?

I could be wrong. Its -33%, so that might be what I remember.

Yip, was and still is 33% off.

I am rather confident we shall see a 50% to 66% off on Portal 2 during the next few days.

Can't log in. Looks like Steam just crashed a bit:

Yep, its official. Seems to be mostly resolved though by now.

Yep, I bought that, couldn't resist such a good special. I didn't buy the complete pack for $27 as I am not even sure I would like Assasins Creed, so I just bought 2.

This is the first time I have ever bought games off of Steam and I must say this special is freaking brilliant! I've bought 5 games all for under R200 !! Damn, I just LOVE STEAM!!!

Has anyone run into the hassle where they try and install games and you get that little box that says - "Creating local game cache files" - the little progress bar then walks into the wall and just stops. Nothing more.

Attempting to cancel hangs Steam. Completely. Second time I've had this issue now

 

[MrG]

I haven't experienced that. Sorry.

 

[_Caboose_]

Only had that happen when im busy downloading already, pausing the dl seems to make it a ok

 

[Toxin]

Picked up 35 games for $72. Just over 2$ a game average. I ♥ Steam.............

Yep I've had the same problem. I think it's best to install one game at a time .
