Left 4 Dead 4-Copy Deal

Zxanphorian · 4th Dec 2008, 10:49 PM

I was going to make a post in the other thread, but I think it would be more appropriate to make a new thread for this.

This purpose is for people in the community who want, but don't already have Left 4 Dead to get together while saving their money. There is a deal on Steam that allows you to do that. From the page on Steam:

Quote:

Buy Left 4 Dead - Four Pack $149.99

Includes four copies of Left 4 Dead - Send the extra copies to your friends

The regular price is at the time of this post $49.99, and with the deal, it would be about $37.50 per person, which is a $12.49 savings.

In #fragbu, Zer0, hyrulian, BobTheBeheader, and I were going to go in on the deal on Steam. This pact hit some snags, some being payment issues. I'm wondering what will happen with this pact, before I decide to go on by myself or go with other people.

I'd go share with somone from BuF if i had an online-capable debit card.

Is it available worldwide? If so maybe some of us aussies can go splits on it?

FaT CaM · 5th Dec 2008, 02:07 AM

I would be more than willing, Matefi.

Matfei · 5th Dec 2008, 02:11 AM

Awesome. Lets hope avatar, latent, mons, or peccavi hasn't gotten it yet.

I'd be up for this, especially if I can avoid Steam's ridiculous $-to-£ conversion rate.

hyrulian · 5th Dec 2008, 05:54 AM

If I remember correctly, I think Zer0 went ahead and bought it for himself today, Zxan.

Target has it for 39.99

Anyway, I will go in on it, if you guys are throwing the money in my direction.
I wouldnt mind making an easy $100 or so.

With talking in IRC, Warden wants in on one of the groups. I need 2 more people who can definitely pay for it now, to go in on it.

For my group, this is how I want to run it:

I get the names of the people who want to be in my group.
I will give them my e-mail address for PayPal.
I request them to send me $37.50, with their Steam ID, e-mail address that you use for steam, Friend ID, or whatever, and putting L4D somewhere in it. (Eg: "Zxanphorian - L4D")
After I receive the money, I will then proceed to purchase the 4-copy pack, and then respectively distribute the copies.

The main reason why I request the money first, is to know that you are actually serious about this deal. I don't want to be left with 3 extra copies and out $150 if people bail out after I get the pack. I WILL follow through with this offer.

If you object to my method, I will be willing to reasonably compromise with you.

He's going to take your money and buy a weather balloon.

Trust me.

dotnetbeast · 6th Dec 2008, 06:57 PM

Once I get my hard drive fully working, then I will get that.

Ok, so who will be in my group?

Zxanphorian · 7th Dec 2008, 11:56 PM

Anyone serious about this?

Crowze · 8th Dec 2008, 04:34 AM

Afraid not, despite avoiding the tax they shove on it over here the exchange rate (plus PayPal's cut) is so poor it's better to buy the retail box. So I'm out.
