One thing I will say is before you buy anything for a netbook check on google, as you can't trust the Steam specs to be thorough.
I bought Civ III to play on mine, only to find the minimum res was 1024x768 and there was no way (On W7 at least) to squash it into a 1024x600 space, which it made it completely useless (and it took me about an hour to even make it start to realise this problem existed).

Good advice - thanks
 The items already in my cart are games I would have been buying for the PC anyway but if I'm buying any games specifically for the netbook, I'll be sure to check the specs - especially resolutions.

They are doing deals every 24 hours (refreshing at 5pm) so I'd be careful on what you buy as they might turn up considerably cheaper in almost no time at all, unfortunately the id pack has already been on for £14 the other day. To the best of my knowledge the LucasArts pack hasn't been in a sale yet, so might be worth waiting to see if that one pops up.

yep don't buy the deals that end on he 3rd. See if they come up in the day sales. if they don't then buy on the 3rd before the offer expires.

Inc VAT. Prey is good for the money and if anyone hasn't got the orange box then that is a good deal.
