so i'm kinda new to this stuff, do you guys think that vampire: the masquerade - bloodlines, and kotor will drop more in price than what they already have?

Easy rule;
- If it's a daily sale, buy it on the daily sale.
- If it's not a daily sale, wait until the last day just in case. You can never be sure.

Yup. You people are failing the test before the 1st day even officially began.

WAIT for games that aren't on a daily deal. They'll be 25% or 33% or whatever they are for the duration of the sale.

Unless... they run out of keys!

PANIC!

A.R.E.S. is $5? I'm glad I skipped on the pack earlier, I think that'll be my first Steam Summer victim.

Or.. should I really wait on that as suggested? weneedtogocheaper.gif?

Why don't people seem to notice that they are on sale on GoG right now during their Summer “Staycation” Interplay promotion for only $2.99 each along with everything else??

Yes, that's been mentioned numerous times. I want Steam because:
a) everything is in one place
b) I don't backup any games and don't trust GOG about giving me infinite re-download availability after their "we're going out of business" stunt.

Have they ever discounted anything already at 75% even further though?

Is the Steam client fucking up for anyone? I keep getting a no results page when I look through the specials section.
Searches don't work at all right now. Too bad since pretty much everything links to a search.

Couldn't hurt. I have a text file with all my intended purchases so I can cross-check them with the daily specials.

I guess SFIV:AE is the only Unreleased game to go on a real sale. Capcom "does not understand sales", this time though to our advantage.

Really? The Indie Variety Pack was only $10 to begin with for all five games. I might have blown it by thinking that Steam would do another $5 pack during the sale.

A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda
Atom Zombie Smasher
Capsized
Machinarium

Salsa, can you do the Summer thread?

If he does the thread, people will bitch about how it was unnecessary it is. :p Salsa is cursed!

Princess Skittles said:
But this is like, set in stone, right? There's nothing to lose by waiting until the 11th?

Correct. :) At worst, you waited some days before purchasing the game/s.

The only time it was an issue was when they ran out of Prey keys, and never got any more.

You guys are getting too antsy. Wait for the actual daily deals to load up. Anything showing on sale right now for like 25-33% off will most likely be on sale later on for cheaper.

Magicka is definitely worth the price. Its really situational wether to go for the full package, the full package doesn't add too much SP content, so unless you plan on playing online or really like some of the DLC items, I'd say pass.

I only wanted A.R.E.S. which was $10 on its own.
