I think the Christmas mulit-packs were listed a few days before the sale went live to everyone during Christmas.
Click to expand...
Yeah, it was a few days. Unless all the packs are the same price with the same content, I don't see this sale happening for at least a week.

Not taking into account that there could be no packs at all. In which case the sale could start right now!

Looks like Virtua Tennis 4 is on the way, along with some more Killing Floor DLC:

Odd, I thought I said that before.

With it already having the billing type "Bill only once", it may be coming really soon.

Edit:
Oh, looks like Gods and Heroes, a MMO that should come out Today according to Wikipedia, is going to go up on Steam.

Daily Deal

Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! Double Pack
$1.25 USD
Click to expand...
Yay! I've been wanting to get those, even though the demo for the second one spoiled the first game's ending. At least I think it did, it was so long ago that I think I forgot the actual spoiler! Yay!

Would anybody know why I get a windows error saying "HL2.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close" after I quit out of TF2? It doesn't occur for any other source games, and it's only started to do this recently, some time in the last month or so.

Perfectly able to grasp the inherent value of the fishing game.

Every time these damn banners start loading I get really excited, only to see "Fear 3 now available" :(

But no midweek sale is nice. We're getting close people!

if you could double dip on Steam, I would!

You can do what I'm going to do, which is gift it to a friend.

You help the developers get some money out of it (as little as it is with a sale) and somebody else gets an awesome game.

To feel extra good about it, gift to somebody that's either too young to have a credit card/paypal account or can't for some reason. Like, for somebody that doesn't have Steam.

So, where are we at now on our confidence scale that the Summer Sale is coming this week? I'm at a cool 86%.
Click to expand...
74.5%

No Weekly deal shot me up from 48.9%.

33% Chance it happens this Wednesday. 44% chance it happens on Friday.

76% chance it happens this Thursday.

I say it begins on Friday.

Can't see it happening on Thursday (or even Wed) since the massive TF2 update is coming then.

Don't see it starting on the weekend either? Could it start on Monday? Possibly. But that's really cutting it short if you want to end it on the 4th.

Friday or bust. I'm positively 8 percent certain on this.

Added $80 to my steam wallet, will add more if something really crazy pops up. Now to pay a bill or two and see what's left :p.

Trying to decide how much money to put in my wallet...$60? $80? Never had a steam sale, so I figure I'll be spending a good bit.
Click to expand...

I like going with $60 so I can compare how much I get during the sale to the price of a single game at retail.

It's less about the money, more about cluttering up my backlog with more games I think I'll eventually get to...

is today's daily worth playing? Not is it worth a snickers bar or whatever, is it worth the time it takes to finish them?
Click to expand...
Apparently the games are really fun and tongue in cheek.



I have yet to start them. (backlog) :(

I'm at least 95% sure the sale starts this week because of the lack of a midweek madness.

I can't think of any other real reason why there wouldn't be a sale.

I hope so, the 24th cannot take any longer to get here, this is worse than the Glados ARG rebooting sequence, at least we had a counter there.
that lied.

So GAF what's the cheapest game and most expensive game you bought from steam? (not including free)

Cheapest: The misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom £0.39

Expensive: Call of Duty Black Ops £39.99

and just to put in comparison: for 1 copy of CODBLOPS I could have got 102 copies of Winterbottom.


Is having summer sale withdrawal symptoms.

Sorry, just saw it in the registry today and thought it was new. Didn't realise it'd already been posted :)

As for there being no midweek madness, I wonder if that points to a sale happening at the end of this week?

I think I'll stick with $100. I really do need to set a limit on myself, I spent almost $200 last time.

I spent about $250 last time :(

I could spend almost another $200 before I was satisfied but I can really only afford maybe $50 this time around.
