I had so much fun watching that video. Fantastic.

I think both those videos are probably more fun that actually playing Roller Coaster Rampage.

I thought Totalbiscuit's video was a rare miss. He was just obnoxious (but not in a hilarious way like he usually is). I couldn't even finish it.
But I'd be lying if I said I didn't watch that Giant Bomb Video 3 times today...

July 2nd, 2012, 10am PT seems like a legit date for the start of the sale.

Coming from what? I've been gone for a bit, but I haven't seen anything convincing in this thread lately.
One must wonder what'd happen if there was no 360 version/controller support and instead it was just the DualShock officially supported on PC.Oh wow, I pity the PC Steam players without controllers that bought this game.

They are all guesses and hopes and dreams. No one here will really know until it actually starts.

Weekend sale ends, summer sale begins. Seems legit to me.

Don't weekend deals always end at 10 AM PST?
They do so.

There is no way that website would have any kind of information like that. They are clearly guessing.
EDIT: And yeah that weekend deal means nothing.
Let's not get crazy
crazier

Only gaf could turn "sometimes it's fun to play video games all day" into "omg steam sale confirmed Monday July 2nd alert everyone"

On the one hand, that guy must be thinking about how crazy it is that people took that one line to mean he has some kind of secret information on when the sale is.
On the other hand, he must be loving the hits.

I think everyone is being very tongue in cheek with the whole sale thing. No one here is serious. Though they are excited for the sale.

This is truly amazing

At this point the only really plausible date is the 12th. There haven't been ANY registry updates/changes yet, and there's always a bombardment before the sales.

Actually, there were some packages added to the registry last night or early this morning. Don't remember which.

Haha, holy shit. ESC is B and X & Y are just the X & Y keys (not even anywhere close to each other on the keyboard). It's like "Here's the X360 controls and oh btw, if you only have a keyboard, literally go fuck yourself in the ass."

I don't see it yet, but it says "New Discounts All Month Long" so maybe later.

Tony from Amazon said in another thread that it'll be soon.
This week or the next.It's coming up later this month. Tony gave an eta of week 2 but besides that we have no clue when exactly it'll be up.

Well, I bought Max Payne 3. Got everything I wanted, pretty much. Good sale this summer, see you guys again at Christmas.

I wonder whether Modern Warfare 2 will be even cheaper...

I doubt it. Amazon must have had Bobby Kotick by the balls just to get it this cheap. He's probably in a corner right now, whimpering "50% off....*sniff*"
Yeah, I'm probably gonna spend 100-200 bucks on this Amazon sale and not even half that on the eventual Steam summer sale.
So really it's looking like the winter sale all over again. /snark
But we'll see, hopefully the Steam summer sale will have some surprises.
Jables Swan

I doubt Amazon will have better sales than Steam.
Last winter they either price matched or undercut steam during the winter sale. And they had 75% off MW2. They're easily capable of beating steam.
Also right now the Paradox Packages are ridiculous value. I got it when the first time and it was $12.49 for like 5 games including CKII Magicka Sword of the Stars etc (CKII was $12.49 by itself on steam for reference) and they even gave $23 credits for 2 other Paradox titles and I got Europa Universalis III free when it was discounted to PM steam. O and to top it off they even managed to send us original buyers steam keys for Victoria and Sword of the Stars 1 since they didn't get steam keys until this sale.
Yep, amazon will have at least the same deals, not to mention bundles. Their current CK2/Paradox bundles are dirt cheap.

Fair enough. I'll check it out.
Someone was faster.
Awesome, thanks
No worries.
Beaten by a bloke with an F1 avatar, no less, haha.
Yup it's downright larceny some the deals they're pulling. MW3 likely wont be 50% off durin the summer sale and same goes for Spec Ops and Max Payne 3. Spec Ops isn't even a week old yet! I'm personally waiting on the Binary Domain sale and others since I'm still considering the Tribes starter pack and SSFIV AE on GG.
