If you find any Package Prices on Steam, that are more expensive than buying those games seperately, you might wanna add them here.

I just noticed, that this game pack is a complete rip off, and that you save money, if you buy those games seperately!
Medieval II
Unfortunately, I am too silly to post a working link the the Pack, because I always get redirected to the main page. Thats why I just posted a link to Medieval II
Note: When the discount is over, only € will be cheaper in the pack

Individual Price:
$34,98 (with the current discount, it is $19,98)
€19,98 (with the current discount, it is €12,48)
£14,98 (with the current discount, it is £7,48)

Package Price:
It seems, there is no such package for $, but the price comparison script shows me $29.95
€29,99
£13.99

So what do we see?
- During the discount, the individual price is less the package price for this currencies.
- The Package is only worth buying, if you pay in £ or $. (when the current discount is over/not counted)
- If you buy the package in € you pay more for the package, than the games seperately (even if you do not count the discount, you pay 10€ less if you buy this games individually.

Medieval II Gold Package is a ripoff – never mind in what currency you buy it. I get the whole package Medieval II Total War + Kingdoms in retail here in South Africa for about $5! Cool

Quite a few of these type of combo packages available for different games. Eg. The Defcon+Uplink Package is below $5 – an absolute steal!

well check this out by yourself:
http://store.steampowered.com/…..460/?cc=US

Individual price $19.98
Package price $29.95

Cost to you $29.95

True, whats the point of buying the package? :D

But Total War Mega Pack has lower price than US!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/4760/

US: $89.99
UK: £39.99 (28% lower)
EU: 59,99€ (2% lower)

NB! Medieval 2 links will mess up the script (pointed out by ld13) because there is the same Medieval 2 Gold package that is unavailable in EU/UK. But script takes Medieval 2 Gold prices instead of Mega Pack prices.

To play or not to play – what question is that?!
