600+ games discounted by at least 50%, bundle deals up to 80% off, daily personal deals!

It is here: 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale on GOG.com! The biggest, the loudest, the most varied, and the most exciting sale we've ever done begins now. How big is it? There are way over 600 games from our catalog steadily discounted by at least 50%. How loud is it? Let's just mention the fact, that we're opening with a triple nuclear blast, giving away Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics for FREE the next 48 hours. How varied is it? On top of regular discounts you'll have daily deals including games presented by YouTube personalities, hot thematic bundles chosen each day by our dear users, offered with up to 80% discounts, and--finally--daily personal deals where you pick one of the special offers available to you, and you only. How exciting is it? Well, you probably get the idea by now. So, there you have it: time to save BIG on the best games in history, available DRM-free for Windows and Mac.

This holiday season, your GOG.com Winter Sale experience include the company of Jesse Cox, Force Strategy Gaming, Dodger from Press Heart to Continue, and the YogsCast team. Each day we mash-up a classic game (or games) with it's modern successors and offer them with high discounts, while our tube-casting friends explain why they consider such a blend interesting and worth playing.

Section updated: Don't forget about your gamer friends that may not know GOG.com yet! Sadly, for the sake of unburdening what servers we have, we had to turn off the option for gifting free games. But you can always just let them know they can sign up with GOG.com and claim a free gift of Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics. On top of that, when they register to our service, they'll receive all the 12 free games we add to all the newly-created accounts. That way your friends will start their adventure with GOG.com with a collection of 15 great games total already on their virtual shelves! Be kind, share the good news! :-)

We'd also like to remind you, that all purchases on GOG.com are now covered with our new 30-day Worldwide Money Back Guarantee, so your holiday gaming shopping spree is safer than it ever was before.

Our 2013 DRM-Free Winter Sale will last until Sunday, December 29, at 1:59PM GMT. Happy holidays from GOG.com team, everyone! And again, sorry for the server issues in the initial hours of our sale.

Thanks GOG, I love you too. <3

( Well, except for the server hick-ups, but let's not dwell on that. )

TheEnigmaticT: Our highest traffic day ever was during the Insomnia sale--we ordered double the servers of that sale, and it still wasn't nearly enough. We're rolling out another order of the same size in the next hour or so, and then we should be good to go.

HypersomniacLive: Double and still not enough? Not really surprised, after all, it's Fallout we're talking about.

Fingers crossed that things will smooth out pretty soon.
Now I'm wondering just how many people signed up for a new account just to claim the Fallout titles. Also, do most people try to download their games right away? I bought most of the games I wanted already, but I'm in no hurry to download and play them. ( They'll probably last me most of next year, anyway. :x )

I might be wrong, but I think the spike is past us now. Two hours ago, I got Bears 80% of the time I clicked any link. And I struggled for two hours to get the Fallout games for my girlfriend. Everything seems to be working better now...though I'm still copying this text before hitting the post button, in case there are still some bears loose.
edit: haha, got a Bear after posting.

Is there anyone who can get the "gift box" options to work? Every time I click it just tries to load, asks me to sign back in, or just flat out reloads the main page.

One cool thing so far is that various Interplay games have been reported at 75% off for the personal deals. Interplay sales (> 50%) have been sparse since the big PWYW pack last October.

I thought it was gifting of free games they disabled, not the gift boxes. Those, I think, are just glitchy.

Would like to know too. Every time I try to do something, the website asks me to login and then fails. Sigh, hopefully it will be useful again soon.

No the spike is not past. I've tried to checkout several times throughout the day. And that's if the checkout page even loads. I will try again in a few hours.

I found earlier that the games got added to my cart and by closing the gog tab and coming back a bit later i was able to access the cart and checkout.
