[url=http://www.gog.com/x11]Our holiday sale is here! You’ve been waiting for the chance to pick up all of our great classics at incredible savings, and that time is now. Virtually the entire catalog is 50% off from now until 2 January 2011. While most of you have probably clicked through and are getting games now, let’s let you know about the fine details of the promo.

Activision games are on sale until the 26th of December, so be sure to pick them up early. We’ll do our best to remind all of you via or [url=http://twitter.com/#!/GOGcom]Twitter about that, so be sure to follow us there if you aren’t for updates and reminders. Further, The Witcher 2 will be 40% off during this holiday sale, but the Witcher: Enhanced Edition is 50% off. Finally, there are a few games that are not in our holiday sale: in particular, Codemasters games and Gothic 1 are not included this year.

Our holiday sales are the best time this year for you to pick up all of the classic PC games that you have been waiting to get since you joined GOG.com; Santa also appreciates you picking up games on GOG.com, because that’s less for him to fit in his sleigh. ;)

Happy Holidays to all, and we hope all your gaming wishes come true!

Well, it seems I'll be spending no less than $50, no matter how I try to pare it down. I don't even want to go back to the main promo page for fear I'll add more.

With all the potential issues with payment and whatnot, I'll wait a few days when a cooler head may prevail. Either way, this sale is both wonderful and grim.
When I go to game catalog, none of the titles are shown to be on sale. Kind of annoying.

keeveek: I can't even buy anything. When I'm on game page I cannot add anything to cart because I'm logged out.

That's bad.

Aningan: I'm in the same situation. When on the game page (any game) it shows me as logged out. Yet, it's obvious I'm logged in since I'm posting this...
I had the same problem and figured out that NoScript and AdBlock both caused it.

I don't run any additional plugins in IE.

hunvagy: Which I probably will. Might be "just" 30 bucks, but I'm not used to a crucial service that handles money dying off. Especially not when my end of the bargain was fulfilled, and they indeed made a transfer off my account.
I hope GOG staff will get your problem solved (if you posted support ticket ofc)
Bought myself:
Stronghold
Patrician 3
Ultima™ 7 The Complete Edition
Populous™ 2: Trials of the Olympian Gods

A very poor shopping tour, especially compared to last year's.
But well, what really matters is that I love each single one of those games!

Even better so if my wallet remains a bit stronger to handle other sales elsewhere, hehe.
Well, I'm going to buy Demon Stone and Heroes Chronicles today, and mayber more will come until the end of Christmas.

Probably I'm going to buy Dungeon Keeper 1, Ultima 7 and Vampire: The Masquerade too.
\o/
Got The Longest Journey, Freespace 2, and Broken Sword 4, three games that had been sitting in my wishlist for a long time. Need to spare my wallet now, since I'm visiting relatives overseas over winter break. Anyway, thanks for the awesome deals, GOG!
very good! I am very very very interested in BG and BG2. Maybe planescape :D
I will surely buy Crusader No Regret and I'm tempted by LBA 1 & 2, Ultima VII, Lands of Lore 1 + 2. But I already got quite a backlog and I wonder if it wouldn't be a smart thing to do to wait for next year...

cymrean: Just wait some time, it's natural there will be problems with payment when the entire server is chocking.

keeveek: Such things should not happen anytime. When big sales like this start, lot's of new customers arrive. If they experienced such huge problems with payment in their first contact with the company, they would never buy anything from gog again.
Have you tried the Steam service on a Holiday Sale ?

Kind of annoying to me, too. Plus not everything on sale is on the holiday sale list page, I have troubles opening my wishlist on here and when it does open, it also doesn't show what's on sale, plus I get 404s when trying to post to the forum sometimes.

I attribute most of this to site traffic. I doubt the "sales aren't highlighted" is caused by traffic though.
There went half of my wishlist, many of them EA titles!
thank yoooouuu!
Gothic should definitely be on the promo :/

bought Fahrenheit, Two Worlds (despite the reviews again), Far cry and Ultima 1+2+3...

Maybe later I'll will buy more... :/
