Cyber Monday sounds like a Virtue event.
When the City of Heroes Boosters go 50% off, the Party Pack will only be 50% more expensive than 50% of the population would pay for it!
---
Also, I've actually wanted a couple of the boosters for a while but am, frustratingly, at a point financially where spending $10 on something is "splurging". This will come right after my holiday bonus. Talk about a cash-based catharsis. 
I intend to buy all the Boosters I'm missing besides the Valentine's Day and the Party Pack. The Valentine's Day may get a reprieve for the veils and wedding themed characters I could make. The Party Pack will now and forever have "What were they thinking!?" knife-dug into its forehead by Bradd Pitt in a bad and overblown accent.

But we're both wrong, too... on Virtue, isn't EVERY day a Cyber day.

(I haven't bought the party pack either... but at half price, I'd consider it.)
Figures- just bought 3 boosters last week.
ah well, might get the Going Rogue collector's edition pack....
Hm. Looks like I might snag the party pack after all.

While many people whined about the Party Pack I have a sneaking suspicion more people bought it than you'd think. I'm not suggesting it was the game's best selling Booster Pack to date, but by the same token since it cost the Devs relatively little to produce I doubt they "lost" money on the deal. |

I have a growing obsession with low-cost high-quality games that come out. As long as games are coming out for the cost of the Party Pack, I can't honestly say that purchasing the Party Pack is an investment as good as or equal to one of those games.|

Now, I strongly endorse the Booster pack as a marketing strategy, as I support City of Heroes. My money's going to be thrown into this sale with wild abandon. I'm not trolling; I'm trying to make my opinion known for producers as they go forward.
Is there definitive word if that includes the Wedding Pack?
I know some of these things don't include all the packs... Not sure if there usage of "booster packs" here is all inclusive or not.
I have been planning to get the Wedding Pack for a long while.
It mostly only has parts for female characters that interest me (And I, somewhat surprisingly, have no female characters), but ever since AE came out... I haven't been able to properly make some friends' characters in there (due to the missing costume pieces).
I was actually planning to grab it this weekend, funny enough... Thanks for the word.
And... $9.99 for the Going Rogue Complete Collection... Hello... that includes a month's subscription.
Anyone and everyone who hasn't gotten Going Rogue... Grab that!!!

There's no word which packs are included. My personal and unfounded speculation is that it will be dang near all of them save for the more recent ones that are already doing well (Such as the Origin Booster).

On the other hand since this sale is only good for one day they might be more inclined to let them all go for 50% off.

On the 29th of November,
I will be grabbin my nuts
just like Michael
If the Party pack is one of them , I'm getting that one . Wedding pack as well . * digs in sofa looking for spare change *
I might just pick up the complete GR pack for my other 2 acts just for the goodies and the free month. I'm assuming you can just apply the code to an existing acct?

And on the plus side, since the sale is only one day, the cost of lost potential revenue in this venture is pretty low for the devs. I mean, the NCSoft store usually crashes when hits.. what... 50 transactions a day?

Heehee... Was just thinking how likely it is that the store would hold up to all the traffic that day... And the subsequent extension of this deal as a result... |

Emphasis mine.| On November 29th, Cyber Monday, Best Buy® Game Zone members can buy City of Heroes Going Rogue Complete Collection for $9.99 for one day only through BestBuy.com. Then go to the NCsoft store, where, everyone can buy some of the hottest City of Heroes(R) Booster Packs for up to 50% off. Cyber Monday is the best time to get your friends to try out City of Heroes, and get some cool Booster Packs at the same time! |
Looks like it won't necessarily be all the packs, nor all at 50% off.
We've not got the Wedding pack on one account, nor the Mac/Valkyrie pack on the other. And neither account has the Party pack. If these are among the sale items, and if they're cheap enough (read: if the Party pack is among the 50%-off items), then I'll snag 'em up.
Just curious -- I may be misremembering, but isn't there some weird security thing on the store where you can only buy so many items on any given day/month? If so, will that pose a problem?

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Bit of an unfortunate thing to call it, though...
Still, neato. 29th is my birthday!

I commented about that in another thread. As I read it, it looks like some will be 50% of, while other will be less. Likely the $10 packs will be 50% off and the $5-$8 will be less. Though until we see an official announcement clarifying the wording, no on knows for sure.|

Of course the store might let you buy one thing, maybe, after you tried 7 times.
