    I wonder if the game selection is influenced by how many people take up the deal?

  • Lovemybargains on 15/12/2016 - 21:46

    Just Cause 3 is $15 on Steam on special now, may indicate that this will be one of the games.

  • zzyss on 16/12/2016 - 09:40

    I read somewhere that the Australia holiday box had fewer game(s) than overseas editions in previous years and that's why it's cheaper. Can anyone confirm, and if so, what was the missing game?

    • Mugsy on 18/12/2016 - 07:36

      Not that I know of. Reddit suggests it's the same content.

      It's the same content. Square Enix site is just cool and gives us better pricing :)

    Rise of the Tomb Raider on Steam sale again this weekend $29.99US so I reckon 95% chance will be in the bundle and also praying for Dragon Quest Heroes! I took the plunge so fingers x

    So we will find out by tomorrow what games are included?

    • iridiumstem on 19/12/2016 - 23:16

      Maybe? It's 12:14 pm Monday, 19 December 2016, GMT though.

  • teehee on 19/12/2016 - 23:29

    • nug0 on 19/12/2016 - 23:37

      Only from tomorrow, around 11pm AEDT. But they should be revealing which games are included tonight.

  • Mugsy on 20/12/2016 - 06:27

    Either someone doesn't know how to read worldtime properly at Square Enix or they actually meant for the games to be revealed and sent out at the same time as on the American store.

    Either way, I just found out about this game:

    https://store.eu.square-enix.com/au/product/402209/goetia-pc…

    Hoping it'll be one of the cheapie titles included.

  • masterjoda on 20/12/2016 - 09:08

        The anticipation is causing me a minor distraction.

  • Mugsy on 20/12/2016 - 18:39

    So in less than 6hrs we should find out if SE thinks we've been good little boys and girls or not.

  • Lavec on 20/12/2016 - 22:00

    Only 1 hour to go!

    I'm not holding my breath for a big £40 title with 7 games worth over £55. It doesn't leave a lot to pick from though: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Released_DESC&…

    So you never know…

    Not sure what others think but this is seriously disappointing to me. Furthermore, still no complete pack for Life Is Strange? Going to try that refund policy again.

    • hilman on 20/12/2016 - 23:16

      Yeah, the only good thing was Hitman for me. I pressed the 'cancel order' button so hopefully that refunds it quickly. :)

      • BargainQuail on 20/12/2016 - 23:32

        How do I cancel?

        • hilman on 20/12/2016 - 23:41

          It's under the manage order bit in the orders tab but I heard you can't refund it if you already unlocked the box.

        • Lord_Sif on 20/12/2016 - 23:42

          Orders page, Manage, and Cancel, got mine 'Pending cancellation'.
          Would have left it for at least one interesting game, but nothing there I can say I would play.

        • dreamstation on 20/12/2016 - 23:51

          @Lord_Sif: Already have the headline game on the PS3. Have cancelled mine as well. Major disappointment.

          @Lord_Sif:

          Same, cancelled mine as well.

          I'd have kept it just for the Soul Reaver games but I already had them. TBH, I was hoping for Rise of the Tomb Raider snuck in there though - probably unrealistic.

          Glad some people were happy with their purchases though.

  • Mugsy on 20/12/2016 - 23:17
    +2

    Well, I wanted Goetia… I got Goetia.

    Lightning Returns kinda completes the FF13 games though, I still don't have the first one and I don't play FF games.

    The other games are meh. Would have like Turing Test in there and Just Cause 3.

  • teehee on 20/12/2016 - 23:19

    ah well I was hoping for more RPGs

    Haven't played this FF but looking at the reviews it looks like it sucks

    How do I refund?

  • frostee on 20/12/2016 - 23:21

    Rubbish selection. Could have been way better.

    • HomeAlone on 20/12/2016 - 23:29

      I think your expectations may have been a bit too high.

      Can't please everyone, but FF XIII alone makes it worth it for me :)

      • frostee on 20/12/2016 - 23:40

        Very true I was just hoping for a few more newer games instead I suppose.

  • swalloweda on 20/12/2016 - 23:36
    +2

    Pretty happy, TBH.
    Hitman will keep me going till the price for the full game comes down, Goetia looks good.
    Never played FF, LoK not my cup of tea. Hitman:Go is a good time-waster on iOS… will probably give it away.

    But overall, for 9 bucks… can't complain.

          When I bought it 3 weeks ago I checked out with Paypal and used a US mailing address in Oregon so there's no sales tax.

        Could be ;)

  • arkanis50 on 21/12/2016 - 08:13

    I stupidly opened it before checking this page - I've emailed support for a refund.

    • zzyss on 21/12/2016 - 22:07

      Same here. Denied refund. Hope you had better luck.

      • ChillBro on 21/12/2016 - 22:12

        Did they really say that even though you told them none of the codes were ever used? I got mine refunded last time even though I used a code. The game simply gets removed from your account at a later date.

        • zzyss on 21/12/2016 - 22:22

          Yep, their exact words were "It seems you already unlocked the code. We regret but as soon as you unlock the activation key, you lose your right for a refund."

        • Aseeal on 21/12/2016 - 22:37

          This is the answer I got when I insisted a bit :
          "I am sorry, but you unlocked the keys and we cannot proceed with the refund. You can give the keys as a gift to a friend or a familiar, for Christmas :)"

          So I guess I'll deal with it…

  • jekel on 21/12/2016 - 08:54

    clicked cancel, not a great list I reckon…

  • ProspectiveDarkness on 21/12/2016 - 09:05

    Hmmmm. Sitting on the edge of a refund. Hitman and the discount codes are the only things that appeal to me, but even then the discount codes are probably worthless compared to other store discounts.

    • 76F on 21/12/2016 - 10:27

      i can give u hitman intro pack + discounts

  • c0balt on 21/12/2016 - 09:57

    What a crap list compared to previous years. I just put in the request to cancel the order, here's hoping I get the cash back or the chance to trade it for JC3 or something.

  • cheapskateasianchic on 21/12/2016 - 10:07

    Damn I opened the gift already, can't get my refund anymore? what a sad list.

  • freakatronic on 21/12/2016 - 12:48

    Tomb raider and Ff13 look good enough. It's a keep for me.

    I need the rest of the ff13 series though. Anyone got any keys they don't want?

  • Venison93 on 21/12/2016 - 13:14

    It is a bit shit, but I like Point & Clicks and Legacy of Kain so it has just enough for me to keep it. But I'll be giving away the rest.

  • Osiris7 on 21/12/2016 - 13:36

    Anyone want my discount codes? Don't ask for them unless you're actually going to use them though….

  • zzyss on 21/12/2016 - 14:16

    Pretty disappointing. Was really hoping for Life is Strange, and at least one big title (RotTR, Hitman or JC3) just not interested in FF games. Already got Underworld and Hitman Go on mobile.

    Hopefully they'll allow me to refund even though I already unlocked the box (didn't redeem steam codes though).

    • cheapskateasianchic on 21/12/2016 - 21:44

      nup, they wouldnt give me a refund.

      • zzyss on 21/12/2016 - 22:08

        Yeah, same here.

        Damn, and I had opened this page to see what was in the pack too, but SE page just happened to open first.

  • edfoo on 21/12/2016 - 18:50

    LOL, looks like half of people (may be more) who have bought this are now cancelling the purchase XD

    • zobragin on 21/12/2016 - 22:57

      Yep cancelled mine this morning!

  • zzyss on 21/12/2016 - 22:23

    And just to ride the derp train one station more, I didn't realise these weren't like Steam gifts, so when you activate a code it goes straight into your account without giving you the option of adding them to your inventory :-(

    • Mugsy on 22/12/2016 - 06:34

      Yeah, if you get given a steam activation code, activating adds to your library. The only way to gift is to send the code to the person you want to get the game.

      The only way to gift games directly without having to send the code yourself is to choose the gift option at the point of sale. Since the point of sale isn't at steam but at the SE website, you can't can't use steam as the avenue to gift.

  • huncho on 23/12/2016 - 00:31

    Anyone having issues with the 20% off next purchase coupon you got from the surprise pack? The 50% off hitman upgrade pack works. Trying to buy 3 games from the sale and use the 20% off, all 3 are pc downloads. Getting "This code is invalid for those products."
