tempting.. Its not all that old is it? I guess the sales figures were disappointing.. probably a result of the reported bugfest that it was upon release! Anyone have any thoughts on that one?

Can you install Steam on a different drive in your PC?
I want to have the games I play often on my main drive (120GB) and the games that I dont play often on my second drive.
Can that be done and how?
TIA

Hmmm, I think I've read about people doing that. Haven't done it myself though.

Yes,

You can install steam to another drive on your rig.

And the steam games you play the most you move them to your SSD for the speedy goodness. (I'm assuming that's your plan TJ)

I use Steammover after a suggestion from StillFunkyB if I remember correctly.

O-Dog made a post about doing the Symbolic Link thing, but Steammover does all the commands for you

Thanks Matt, So I guess there is no other way to change the download location? Its either Uninstall and reinstall Steam on the second drive and move my favorite games to the SSD, or continue to download on the SSD and move to second drive after?
Darn you Steam, I hope the competition from Origin will inspire Steam to fix all their little customer unfriendly quirks. These are issues that they need to fix but it seems that they have been ignoring them.

see my post above get the GOTY edition for $2.50 more to get all the DLC. 3 of the 4 DLC packs (general knoxx, claptrap and dr. ned) are absolutely worth that much (moxie's underdome not quite so much). I've really enjoyed the game and its a steal at these prices. If you have the base game I'd still say that $7.50 for the DLC pack is totally worth it. those DLC's easily add that much value to the game

EDIT: forgot about claptrap's revolution. edited to change my statement

I was somewhat surprised that I enjoyed the game as much as I did. For $5, yes its worth it. But I would agree to that you should get the GOTY edition.
