There are way over 600 games from our catalog steadily discounted by at least 50%. How loud is it?

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.

TurnipSlayerr: That's strange, I'm not sure why the pricing wouldn't carry over, especially if it shows that you own the games. I'll look into this, see what the problem might be. Apologies for the inconvenience.

xenxander: I submitted two customer support request about this (one in one category, then when I read this, another in this requested category).

I have the issue where the price won't carry over to check-out (asking me to complete the order for 11.97 but then asking 19.97 for the remaining three :\

Sorry for the double customer service request
The problem should be fixed now. Try again and let me know if you still have some problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Confirmed, worked for me now as well. Price carried through from bundle pages to checkout using both methods, from home page using the 'complete this bundle for' link and from the bundle page itself where just the unowned items were selected and clicking into the check out now link. Thank you TurnipSlayerr and the support folks who fixed the issue!

I picked up Rogue Legacy over the insomnia sale, the problem with it is that I am unable to advance to other games because it keeps pulling me in. I am stuck on the fireball boss, and determined to get the bastard. Rogue Legacy is a great game but can be difficult, become repetitive, and difficulty aside could use some more variety in enemies and classes. My love/hate relationship with Rogue Legacy says it's worth $4.50+.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit is a gem, I love that game and am glad to get the expansions for dirt cheap. With the Strike Suit Zero deal today was expansion upgrade day for me.

FTL is a new classic.

I think the Roguelike bundle is GOG's strongest one yet this sale.

Games picked up so far:

-Fallout Pack (from the freebie that clogged up the servers)

-Earthworm Jim 3D (from the mystery gift thing a couple days ago, Classic Games category)

-Re-Volt (from yesterday's racing game pack discount, only picked that one and not Race the Sun)

-Some gifts for the GOG Secret Santa program that shall remain undisclosed

-Oh, and of course, picked up some Theme Park/Hospital gift codes for my giveaway, which ends tonight at 10:00 PM

Picked up the remaining two rogue-likes I was missing from this deal: Spelunky and Rogue Legacy. Figured that even though my backlog is fast approaching the size of Mount Everest a sale is a sale, and I would be hard-pressed to get these two for this price in the next year.

Looking at the one to vote for tomorrow, another one where i have all of the games from both so will abstain from voting.

I keep hoping that La Mulana will get a bigger discount than the 50% it is now... If that one can get to or below $5.00 price point the threshold for me to buy it will have been reached. I suspect that if that happens at all it will be part of the Community Deal.

Chose the Brave New Worlds Personal Deal and got Botanicula; going to pass on it.

Got "The Swapper" for 4.99$ as my Daily Surprise, and I've never even heard of this game. However, it has a 5-star rating on GOG and some stellar but rather generic reviews, so I was wondering whether someone would be willing to pitch it? In what way is it different from and/or better/more unique than other puzzle platformers that would warrant a purchase? (Considering that I like my puzzle platformers to be more bright and colorful, like Braid or Trine)

I can't buy so many roguelikes at a time since I am not really into them, I'll wait to buy Spelunky later. And since I own the entire Ultima and M&M series, I guess nothing for me unless I get a lucky box tomorrow, today was Thief 2 and I own it.

So far on the sale: Gabriel Knight:sotf

Lucky lucky...

I must say, I've been impressed with the support team here. This sale is the first time I've had problems with GOG, so I never had occasion to interact with them before, but they've got some quick turnarounds going on. I submitted a ticket for a double billing, and within two hours I had a refund on Paypal and a friendly note from the support team. As problems come up with the servers, and specific game deals, they've found ways to deal with them quickly. This goes a long way to inspire trust.

Bravo, guys and gals.

I got Shadow Warrior on day 1 and the SSZ DLCs today.

Wishlist is getting somewhat short. >_> Here's hoping for the Kyrandia games to get a deal, as well.
