Steam Summer Sale.

How do you get tickets?

You had to complete the achivements/challenges from the linked page off the main sale page. Many of them related directly to the games on sale on a given day, but I managed to pick up my 13 tickets on games I already owned, were buying anyway (Worms Reloaded), and via the "Community" achievements--stuff like posting a screenshot and commenting on friend pages.

Aren't redeemed tickets eliminated from the giveaway drawing?

I bought the Borderlands GOTY to get the 4 DLC that came with it. Had to unload it from the HD this AM. Went to work and came home 10 hrs later.... 10% downloaded. WTF!!!

I had the same problem Johny took about 14 hours to DL Borderlands GOTY w/DLC

Yep, the download servers have been horrendous this past week. I imagine they're mostly back to normal now.

26 hours after start - 89%. In all fairness I am pretty sure that when my pc stands idle and goes to sleep mode the d/l pauses.

I found the same thing. I recently picked up a hard copy for ?13 delivered.

Heh... glad I waited and didn't get it during the summer sale. Civ V is 66% off on steam, this weekend. At €17 (or $17 / ?10.20) it's the lowest I've seen so far.

Now that is sweet. My magic price point for games that I want to play but don't want to go full price on is $20, which is why I didn't buy Civ 5 in the summer sale. Now? I'll have to add it to my games list this weekend.

Ah, me poor credit card. So many nicks and cuts this month.

Good things come to those who wait. After a day and a half to download the GOTY Borderlands I got to see how freakin" cool the zombie DLC was. One word: WERESKAGS!!!
