Question: Better than Isthereanydeal for tracking deals?

Open
Notabene

So, my question given that isthereanydeal has become completely unreliable for bundles given the now several days before information gets update, time by which some bundle may run out, and that the rest of the system regarding deal is unusable (never managed to be able to use to track deals some much it's messy).

Are there any alternatives?

if the op isn't up to date, check the last few comments as that's where the fastest info will come from.

Just do a text search in the OP for today's date or whatever. Also check the recent comments at the end to see what is trending.

There was always a delay on ITAD for bundles, but yeah I guess it may have increased.

while it's a great topic, it unfortunately doesn't indicate whether you own the games or not, which was the point of isthereanydeal

I remember seeing something here on SG about a userscript that will read the RAcharts and tell you what you own and such. Sorry that I don't know exactly where I saw it.

Edit: Oh, it was right at the bottom of the post D3m4n listed xD

Great, I forgot about this solution. I just installed it and seems to work great (minus maybe the fact that you can't put of a visual color for games you don't own.

Thanks

Use the RaChart Enhancer.

As others have pointed out there is that useful script for that. I don't really need it though, I can remember what I own.

You can use this URL to search, But not everyone always remember to put the Heart in.

When people put bundles into ITAD they go into a "pending" status until they get approved (and then they show on the main page), unless it is created by some site admin or official bundler account I guess.

You can see the pending bundles on here: https://isthereanydeal.com/specials/#/options:pending

problem is even in pending bundles, there's not information on recently released bundles

Yeah, I guess it is true. I will admit I don't check that site very often anymore either. ITAD depends on users creating the bundles just like we do here, I guess nobody is as interested in doing it there anymore. I did create one or two myself in the past but it was a hassle...

I usually check SG or Reddit

Must say that Isthereanydeal serves me very well. But yes it's good to have alternatives.

it was good before it was updated. although I could never use the rest of their deal tracking because it's too messy.

I like https://greenlightupdates.com/bundles.php to stay up to date with bundles; it can send emails when a new bundle comes out.

It'd be helpful if people left the Deals section for sharing deals.

GG.deals
It's pretty new but so far everybody seems to like it and it's from a SteamGifts user.
Awesome giveaways to celebrate the launch of my new site

Install ESGST and sort deal sections by created date, use puzzle marker for threads to mark the bundles you viewed/WTB/bought

and as others said use rachart

Edit: maybe GGdeals is as unreliable as ITAD, better stick to the SG deals sections, threads for new bundle appears pretty fast

The bundle section of Barter is very up to date and you can easily see what you already have or don't want.

I recently checked out gg.deals, and it's actually pretty good. It's not an ITAD replacement at this point, but it's a nice alternative to augment it. If you set alerts for your games, it'll notify you if they're in bundles or news or on sale.

I find GG.deals to have a very intuitive listing of current discounts. It's actually become my favourite tracking site lately.
