My appologies for the lack of updates on the site. I was hoping to move house without any interuption to updates apart from Friday and the weekend, but it appears TPG have other ideas. Not sure when updates will resume but when they do there won't be any time for me to do a roundup of the bargains missed over the week.

Prices have actually been reduced further, check the site again and post anything new to the article on the homepage: http://www.ecogamer.com.au/content/100-saleclearance/5140-myer-online-sale#comments

BTW nice post mumbo

Another zombie apocalypse is scheduled for September 9th. This one looks like a doosey.

Price round-ups are forum discussions that let the community track prices and trade-in offers for upcoming releases. It is an opportunity to share trade-in exploits, point out online sales, reveal broken street dates and helps reduce work for staff so that we can have more frequent round-ups.

Play out the events leading up to the famous Deus Ex in Human Revolution, due for release here on Thursday 25th.

Looks like I won't even have an opportunity to spend some time on the site until mid next week, then away for the end and weekend.

There's a LOT of good bargains right now, really bummed I cant get them onto the site.

Hi all,

Some of you may have noticed on the main site some sluggishness in the speed and consistency of the articles going onto the front page. Unfortunately I haven't been able to give the site my all in quite some time. I don't like to talk much about my personal life but some things are happening which are tying up a lot of my time and energy.

I don't think I can postpone telling the community any further, this is going to go on for several weeks longer. I wanted to assure everyone who hasn't been around long enough to have seen things bounce back in the past that I fully intend to recommit myself to the site when I have more control over my schedule. In fact a lot of effort has already been put into a complete reformat of the site, one that I hope will reduce moderation, increase speed and frequency of bargains and decrease time spent looking through pages we link to. Its a big build

This news doesn't mean the site will not be updated. Although you can expect there to be lapses in content going up and double checking. Feel free to submit content via the submit a tip form and to post stuff on the forums and bargain chat should time be of the essence.

Done and done. Let me know if there are any issues.

[Notice:]

This thread is for requesting changes in your display name here in the forums and on the website. Just politely leave a message here informing me what you would like your new name to be. This is a task that can only be performed by an administrator and currently I am the only one, so if I'm tardy in changing your name you'll have to give me a nudge as it's the only way its going to happen.

Your username (used to log in) cannot be changed, only your display name. We have disabled the ability for users to change their own due to limitations of the software application used to bridge the forum and website membership (it would update in the forum but not on the website).

Notice:
I cannot give you a display name already in use and suggest anyone sharing a display name with someone else (dating back before this policy was in place) to request a new unique name. Additionally, if you changed your display name prior to this policy change and your display name is different on the site to the forum I recommend having it fixed by notifying me here, as the integration between the site and forum can be glitchy when this is not the case.

What did you get last week?

The Weekly Haul is your chance to discuss and brag about your purchases during the last week. What did you buy? Where did you get it and most importantly how much did you pay? Share the information with others so that they might benefit or to boast about your ever expanding library of video games.

Mine was pretty modest:

Dreamfall: The Longest Journey - $4.99
Amnesa: The Dark Descent - $4.99
Deus Ex: Invisible War - $2.50
And Yet It Moves - $2.50
I-Fluid - $1.25

So the Steam Summer Sale finally ended and what a sale it was! Thousands of games on sale and daily deals that were each very tempting. We'd like to see what everybody's haul was this year. Lets try to find out how much we all 'saved' and if this year's sale was really the best we've seen from then thus far.

Drop by the forum and let us know what you hauled!

OC Remix soundtrack for NiGHTS: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?p=793629#793629

Back in January I created a thread discussing a very similar topic where GAME were sending out preowned titles for a sale they had on their website without any warning or notices to the purchasers. I noticed in the chat a few people (admittedly fewer than last time) who have received copies of Vanquish from their latest sale that were not in optimal condition.

I wouldn't mind centralising people's experience here. Does this look like its happened again (preowned titles sent out) or is this another issue entirely? There have been a few GAME sale since the one mentioned earlier and no news of preowned titles have come up until now.

Anyway, what was your experience?
