Thanks :)

Steam doesn't provide a public API for this stuff (or at least i didn't find one) and as far as I know the Steam client doesn't even know about packages and stuff like that so there is no other way of extracting the data.

As a side note, there are at least 5 game pages with invalid HTML that caused problems :)

For those unfamiliar, Steam has a growing number of game packages, each containing a number of games, at reduced total cost. If you want to buy a certain set of games, this app helps you find the cheapest way of buying packages that contain all of the games you wanted.
