Today, my friend made me a deal, but I don't know if I should get it..

He said he has the Valve Complete Pack, which has basically all the current valve games, past and present, ranging from Deathmatch Classic to Left 4 Dead. I checked out how much it was and it was being sold for like $99.99 (presumably USD?). My friend is selling it to me for $80 CAD. The thing is I'll only be using like four or five of the games from the package, and my friend said it doesn't come in a form of a CD or anything, only software that's transferable (is this true? I haven't bought any valve games in the longest time, let alone anything online).

Long story short, something that is sold for 99.99USD with like 20 games is being offered to me for 80CAD. Deal or No Deal, that is the question.

Yes, the VCP(Valve complete pack) is only software no disc, and i wouldnt go for it because hes jsut selling you 10 dollers less and your only going to play 4 or 5 of the games. But thats my opinion.

You didn't take in the account for the currency conversion from USD to CAD. 99 USD would be around 124 CAD(not including what ever tax you have to pay on it.).

As for buying stuff over steam you can buy stuff as a gift or you can give other people copies of a game you got multiple copies for.

You can buy games as gifts through the steam store. If his friend is going to do that then all he has to do is select you as the recipient.

I got the Valve Complete Pack for 75$ US. That deal was a long time ago though back in December to Jan 2nd. So far I played all Hl2 and episodes, got some mods. Haven't played CS:Source yet. I play a lot TF 2 and L4D... (But I'm sure I was supposed to have an extra copy of TF2 because i bought a Copy for 20 bucks before getting the complete pack...) And its disappointing that the complete pack does include Garry's Mod 10 :(
