World of Goo (PC Download) - £1.39 @ Steam
World of Goo is on sale for £1.39 on Steam. Brilliant indie puzzle game, has 90% on Metacritic. Cheapest I've seen it outside of indie bundles.
World of Goo is a multiple award winning physics based puzzle / construction game made entirely by two guys. Drag and drop living, squirming, talking, globs of goo to build structures, bridges, cannonballs, zeppelins, and giant tongues. The millions of Goo Balls that live in the beautiful World of Goo are curious to explore - but they don't know that they are in a game, or that they are extremely delicious.
Mysterious Levels - Each level is strange and dangerously beautiful, introducing new puzzles, areas, and the creatures that live in them.
World of Goo Balls - Along the way, undiscovered new species of Goo Ball, each with unique abilities, come together to ooze through reluctant tales of discovery, love, conspiracy, beauty, electric power, and the third dimension.
The Sign Painter - Someone is watching you.
World of Goo Corporation - Congratulations! World of Goo Corporation is the Global Leader in Goo and Goo Related Product, including World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Soft Drink Beverage and World of Goo Corporation Trademark Brand Facial Exfoliating Lotion. Succulent!
Massive Online Competition - Human players around the world compete in a living leaderboard to build the tallest towers of goo in World of Goo Corporation's mysterious sandbox. World of Goo Corporation is contractually obligated to state that everyone is a winner and is enthusiastic to celebrate everyone's tower building opportunities equally.

Please contact Steam Support."
I've had that 4 times on two different payment methods. Steam then won't recognize my account so I can't log into support, genius.
UPDATED with Steam advice (it worked for me)
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
Are you attempting to make the purchase through Steam or with a web browser using the storefront webpage?
If using Steam, try the following:
If using a PC
-Exit Steam, then go to the location that Steam is installed to. By default this is C:\\Program Files\\Steam directory (this is the default with a Steam installation - if you set a different installation directory, you will need to browse to it).
-Delete all of the files except for:
Steam.exe
And the folder \\SteamApps\\
If using a Mac:
-Exit Steam and go to the folder Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam
-Delete all of the files in this folder except for SteamApps.
Restart your computer and test the issue.
Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games.
If the issue still persists, try using a web browser (Internet Explorer 7 or higher, or Safari or Firefox if on a Mac) to make the purchase using http://store.steampowered.com/
If it still fails, try logging into your Steam account and making the purchase directly through the Store interface.

Thanks OP
Working abroad at the moment and recently discovered steam make you jump through hoops to open an account in your native currency. They charge 3.5% to convert their prices to Euros too.
Heist is 69p currently and the free copies of Goo were limited to 25,000. This was back in April so it's a risk they've run out now and given both prices probably less hassle to just buy Goo

True, I got a free copy of Eets and World of Goo a month ago from my free copy of The Heist though so it might be worth checking.
