is it out yet?

Not until this link gives a result: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=oddboxx

You're complaining about update sizes on a digital download service where people regularly download 10, 20, even 30gb games. I understand your pain being stuck with a slow internet connection, but a service like Steam by its very nature is designed for faster connections.

Actually I'm happy with the download speed for games, and even game updates (Since you can still play while updating, so it's virtually irrelevant). It's still faster and more efficient than actually getting to a store and buying it. The problem is the waiting time for each "playing session". People don't want to wait when there's no a good enough reason to. not 10 not 5 and not even one minute. I'm not even sure why the updates are so slow here, everything else I download at Steam is very faster considering my connection, I'll pay more attention next time it updates. But anyway, it's off topic.

Don't hold your breath. Steam has a very, VERY bad track record when it comes to releasing new games on time. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't released until like 3 PM EST tomorrow.

Hopefully that won't happen though!!!

It's Valve we'll be waiting for New year. Just joking I'm so excited to replay all the games from start to finish. :fuzgrin:

Man screw updating [software name], it takes like a minute to download and I just can't wait that long to [use software function]!

Steam seriously doesn't take that long to download and install updates, and if people are willing to wait however long for a full game to download a couple of megabytes of update isn't going to stop them.

From the OWI Facebook page:

Jesus, lay off LIJI. He's entitled to his opinion. Personally, I would also prefer a game service that didn't require a whole client just to launch a game, but there we go.

6pm GMT? That's another three hours. Hhmmmm how to spend those three hours?

Apparently you can listen to relaxing music:

DoW II took me six hours to download and alien swarm looks as if it's gonna take a while...I think it's my Wifi but I hope Oddboxx doesn't take hours.

The OddBox is out!I wish you all Good Escapes!xD
BTW the Oddboxx Soundtrack Sampler rocks!

i still dont see its out at steam

It ain't 6pm GMT yet that's why :P I'm glad I have a 20mbps connection at this point, I wonder how big the game is :D

And as for anyone bashing steam.. I don't see what your issue is, you don't need to screw around with cds/dvd's and if you stick your steam install on an external drive you have portable games with no reinstalling or other messing around.

Also if you are less tech savvy and don't know how to install updates and patches and things then no need to worry since steam ensures your game is 100% up to date. So if Stranger or Much has some weird annoying bug then its simple for JAW to fix it and have you auto updated.. if it was on a CD you'd have to google around for a patch and do it manually / keep checking for when its fixed.

well at me its 6,21 pm

Current GMT time is 5:23?

Can I ask how much the Oddboxx is? Also how much is each game seperately?
I'll wait for some reviews before I buy Stranger's Wrath. Won't bother with MO since I have that already and thought it was average :P

I'll be purchasing the whole damn thing. I don't really care that I have them all, I want them on Steam as well, just in case I lose the CDs or something. That and I feel it is worth purchasing all of them over again just to play MO and SW on a PC.:D

Might hold a contest and gift a lucky person the oddbox; that is, after I've bought it myself. Muhahaha!

ill buy them all

Alright well I'm going to plan something for my "contest for the Oddboxx" idea, don't expect it to be too easy, but expect something somewhat fun...and probably competitive.

I'm holding in so much pee right about now!

its out!!! i see munchs oddysee on the list!

EDIT:why isnt there a buy button? wtf happened to the buy button?!

I knew it was too good to be true!

*Loads Shotgun*

Whoops!

Stranger!

It should be out 20 minutes ago!

I must have angered steam with my searching for the games

How come there are people who have already gotten those achievements? unless there was some testing, which probably answers my own question

Fucking yes. Awesome, getting this the second it becomes available to purchase.

Also kinda offtopic but Super Meat Boy is £3, so that is also awesome; steam holiday sale = best one.

I have that too. But in propositions for searching (those when you type) there are 3 games.

Hey! Munch ir ready to buy!

I can't find it anywhere and it is dinner time for us in Germany today. ^_^

Munch's Oddysee is now purchasable!

Why is it HALF price? I thought they said 25% off?

Wow much is almost free at around £3:50 :D

For today it's -50%, tomorrow, and to 3rd January it's -25%.

is the oddbox up totaly

yarp!

No Oddboxx on steam JUST yet but I'm guessing it will be just as cheap.
