Ok I'm sure everyone here is aware of sales going on everywhere to help there 2009 sales. I am looking to buy Company of Heroes and the complete pack is $34.97, but if I buy Company of Heroes Gold (CoH & CoH: Opposing Fronts) $14.99 the last game Tales of Valor is on sale for 50% off only $14.99 which would make a total of $29.98. Puzzles me why the complete pack is $4.99 more, what's the point of this?

Why care? Just buy whichever is cheaper.

Well I was wondering if there is any difference - if anyone here might know... Is there a difference from a bundled game from a separate game in steam?

Usually a bundled "pack" is all the separate titles in the same purchase, sometimes during discounts buying all of them separately will be cheaper. (Normally as a single purchase to improve the tax costs or what it might be called.)

Yeah but on Steam there is no taxes. Looks like a goof up on Valve's part to me.

I'd like to know how the ID super pack doesn't include Quake 4. intel ultra 7 265k, 64gb ram, 3070

Probably because it was developed by Raven Software instead of ID, might be other things behind it as well like publishing rights and so on.
