PSA: Want The Steam Controller? It’s On Sale (And Discontinued)


The Steam Controller is on sale for 90% off as part of Steam’s Autumn Sale. If you were looking to pick one up but for some reason still haven’t done so, you’ll want to take advantage of this sale. The Steam Controller is going away.

Presently priced at $5 plus shipping (your mileage may vary), Valve has confirmed that this batch of controllers will be the last. After that? You’ll need to go to the second hand market. The store page also notes that due to high demand, shipping may be delayed. The controller should ship and arrive within 4-8 days once the order is processed.

Steam Deals: Good Stuff Cheap

With all the hubbub going around on Thanksgiving in the United States, and more importantly World of Warcraft hitting five years old alongside a slew of giveaways from Wow.com, it is understandable if you missed Stardock’s nod last week to Steam holding 70% of the PC sales market. Unsurprising, as many PC gamers you ask today will tell you that they make much of their purchases through the digital distribution system.

That share is set to go even higher, as Steam announced a sales extravaganza with Thanksgiving on its way. Each day brings new sales to the table, and what better to focus on for MMO Fallout than, say, MMOs on sale?

Day 1 of sales brings in 50% off of Champions Online and Fallen Earth. Champions Online is now $19.99, while Fallen Earth has been reduced to $24.99. Other non-MMO titles such as Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age, and Grid are also on sale today. Remember: Each sale lasts only 24 hours, and then it is gone. Think of it as a Black Friday sale, but it’s Wednesday and there’s no risk of being trampled by a mob of angry shoppers.

If you have not picked up either Fallen Earth or Champions Online, both are certainly worth a look.
