Price?

nukkus · 07-09-2011, 10:07 AM

Wtf, the main page says the whole franchise is on for $4.99, you click on it and the price jumps to $9.99.

Just came here to post the same, except it's £4.99 and £9.99 for us here in the UK. I knew there was a euro=dollar thing going on with Steam, didn't think it applied to the UK pound too.

You miss something.

Yeah, I was going to bite on that deal, but not at twice the price. There have been a few deals that say they're 1/2 price on the main page, and then they're different when you go to the game's store page.

What, exactly? The main page clearly says "X Superbox for this price" while the store page says "X Superbox for a different price".

I mean your first picture. It only shows the steam top bar.

Edit: Ehh now I get all the picture. How weird. I even refreshed it a few times so sorry about that.

I'm only ever going to play Terran Conflict, but if the entire box goes for the same price as just TC, I'm getting them all. I'll wait until tomorrow to see which way they fix it.

Indeed - I triple checked, but it's definitely advertising the superbox for 4.99 - not just one of the games as happens with a lot of the other franchise sales.

Ah, I see. No harm done. =)

Main page says that something in the franchise sells for 5$ with 75% discount. That is normal behavior in every Steam sale so be ready for the future.

And how could Superbox possibly cost 5$ with 75% discount if it cost 20$ with 50% discount? Just do the math.

dancingcrab · 07-09-2011, 10:23 AM

Figure it's Steam making a mistake with its choice of pic - Superbox is actually $10, it is X3:TC that's $5. They should have used the TC pic on the sale page.

halororor · 07-09-2011, 10:23 AM

Well, if they don't change it asap I'm buying it and demanding a $5 refund for false advertising. :P
