Best offers of 2012

So the year is coming to a close, we've seen hosts come, we've seen them go, we've seen plenty of drama, lots of animated gifs & plenty of community spirit 
But getting back to what the community is all about, lets hear which offer you loved in 2012 & why. I anticipate there'll be a few more offers before it closes out. It can be LEB or LET, must fall within the normal price guidelines.
My favourite offer: RAMNode 512MB SVZ
Price: $4.66/month
How: Paid yearly, with 31% discount coupon.
Why: Fast nodes, great network & the central ATL location offers good latency to East/West coast.

Obviously my quarterly offer...
More to the point, I love @Nick_A's (RamNode's) because
Incero.
Our 2GB TX Incero deal isn't that bad either :P
If it's Incero then it's good!
Lets keep the thread about offers from other providers, not your own please
Sure was! http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/stormvz-6-80month-2gb-openvz-vps-in-dallas/
Sold out quickly though so may need to get 2-3 more nodes up there
Urpads black friday deal.
My favourite offer: ChicagoVPS 2GB OVZ
Price: $3.50 first month, $7 afterwards.

Oh, and the free 3-month Media Temple 16GB trial if you count that as an offer.
I will be honest though, after this thread ends, I am going to be really Jealous.
Thanks guys!
Before any newer clients start requesting it, we no longer off Dallas/Incero
Was about to say that...
:O where are you now?
Atlanta--we haven't offered Dallas for a few months now.
Ah right, OK :P Can't remember where I was when with you, haha. Thanks for clearing that up.
I have a few favourites, but if I had to single one provider out both for their offer and their friendly responsive support, then its @george_fusioned
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/fusioned-3-50month-256mb-kvm-vps-in-netherlands/
I have the KVM 512 SSD LEB with solid uptime and good network speeds. George takes good care of his clients and is the kind of provider you see yourself sticking with long-term.
@craigb George has been getting a lot of great reviews lately ^_^
And none for me
:P
My favourite offer posted all year was the one last month on Low End Box for the company Fusioned.net which is owned by @George_Fusioned
http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/fusioned-3-50month-256mb-kvm-vps-in-netherlands/
I picked up a KVM 512 SSD LEB to host a few websites on. I've had the box a few weeks now and it runs awesome, great network, had zero issues with it, and the performance is phenomenal. With that offer, George also provided free R1Soft backup for the server which makes it a killer deal, and I purchased an upgrade to 1GB Ram and 20GB SSD storage.
He deployed another node last week so I picked up another vm to use as a development box. It's all setup and has been running great all week. I was already planning to write up a full review in a few weeks time.
George is a stand up guy and runs a great company, the support is above fantastic and I've not had a single issue he's not taken care of for me promptly. Definitely my favourite European provider.
My favorite was probably EDIS's 11.95 euro a year for 128mb KVM.
My second was probably @FRCorey's 1.87/mo KVM (256mb)
For me it's a tie between (a) anything from RamNode because they just Get It Right (tm) (I have two VPSs with them that are superb), and (b) BuyVM. I was never a BuyVM fan -- mainly because they were on the wrong side of a very large continent. That changed with their new Buffalo location. I got one, and it's simply stellar.
woot a mention!
I lol'd. Interesting way of putting it.
It's true! Imagine if I had to drive there!
LiquidHost has the best yearly deals

@Alex_LiquidHost
My RamNode VPS and Front Range Hosting VPS are the best offers I've gotten by far
I have to say my favorite deals this year were:
Cheers!
I believe Uncles's recent SSD offer with 1 GB Ram was an awesome one. And the best one of the year for me.

Thanks
Unfortunately we have some problems with one of the nodes in the offer. It rebooted twice in the last 2 days, kernel upgraded and keeping under observation. Logs say nothing, there was no load either.
I really hope node 22 problems are not back
I'm waiting for Christmas offers
For better or worse: CVPS's "winning" offer.
That aside: FRH's Black Friday deals, all 10000 posts.
