Tips:
Search other regions of the Steam store by adding'?cc=uk', '?cc=us', '?cc=fr' at the end of Steam's address.
You can spread the payments over multiple credit cards by adding money from each card/ account to your steam wallet:
1)Log into the client
2)Click on '.... account' at the top right corner of the page
3)Click 'add funds to Steam wallet'
If you are charged twice for a purchase, DO. NOT. FILE. A. CHARGEBACK! Work with Valve directly to fix the issue.

LovingSteam's (RIP) corner:

What is Steam:

A digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. Steam also has community features, automated game updates, and in-game voice and chat functionality.

As of 2011, there are over 1,500 + games available through Steam. In January 2010 Valve claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts. Although Valve never releases sales figures, Steam is estimated to have a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.

Many major publishers have catalogs on Steam, including Electronic Arts, Activision, 2K Games, Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, Codemasters, id Software, LucasArts, Capcom, Rockstar Games, Square Enix, Microsoft, and Bethesda Softworks.

3. Fishing Attempts- Valve will NEVER email you with sales or include a link that requires you log in. Its a phishing scam. Don't fall for it.

Useful Sites:

SteamPrices.com compares game and package prices from the Steam Store. At the moment, USD, GBP and EUR for a bunch of different regions are supported.

This site was created in order to show the huge difference in Steam Store prices for single games and packages. You can choose one of the supported currencies and compare "your" price to the ones in the other countries and regions. By and by, some comfortable comparison features and other stuff have been added, especially for registered users.

By the help of SteamPrices.com, you are able to search for games and packages and access multiple listings. Additionally, current spotlights and Steam news are also displayed.

For better browsing of every game on sale at the moment I recommend using SteamGameSales (great to find the cheapest sale-long discounts)

Spoiler

Like I said in the other thread, Endless Space is finally on sale! $15 right now, hopefully it's a daily/flash sale later on in the week.

 

[Zombie James]

I guess this explains why their Halloween sale was so terrible.

 

[ShaneB]

This is the real thread!

You know what I liked? Sleeping without worrying about missing a Flash Sale.

With the negativity out of my system let's buy games!

 

[kharma45]

[GAMERG0D]

Going to wait for Castle Crashers to be cheaper.

 

[MRORANGE]

Awesome!!!

 

[Salsa]

Stump doesnt seem to be around

Nirolak pls

 

[Necrovex]

Going to wait on Dark Souls and Revelations. All I really need from this year's Steam Sale.

If AC3 goes on sale, and it is low enough, I may consider getting it.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Better than mine I suppose Salsa

 

[Red Blaster]

Is X-Com going to be cheaper than that?

Winter Sale

 

[Miker]

Going to wait on Dark Souls and Revelations. All I really need from this year's Steam Sale.

If AC3 goes on sale, and it is low enough, I may consider getting it.

Dark Souls will be $15 from Amazon soon. Check the thread for details.

 

[Zombie James]

Hopefully Arkham Asylum and Arkham City go on sale. These two have been in my backlog for way too long, and I finally have a PC good enough to actually play them.

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Is X-Com going to be cheaper than that? we're all thinking it

Will probably be -33% to -40% during Christmas sale.

 

[Acosta]

I vote to keep this one (sorry fluffly )

In other order of things: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

This isn't a summer sized sale so there won't be any meta stuff.

 

[Harbinger of War]

Just in case the other thread gets closed in favor of this one, I'll post it here too: Zeno Clash for $1

[dreamfall]

Here we GOOOooooo! Exciting times! Will FC3 pre-order be on sale!? Does Steam do this for pre-orders? Whoawesome!

 

[kswiston]

Is X-Com going to be cheaper than that?

[Ikuu]

Picked up Payday, probably grab Gemini Rue and Hotline Miami if they go on daily deals.

So there are hidden sales again lol glorious

 

[LuuKyK]

Quoting myself from the other thread:

Chances of Borderlands 2 being a daily deal? Its already down 25%, but you never know right? What to do?

 

[Stumpokapow]

Kingdoms of Amalur only $59.99!!!! EPIC SALE

 

[Cramoss]

Just in case the other thread gets closed in favor of this one, I'll post it here too: Zeno Clash for $1

Now that's a deal.

 

[Nibel]

Finally the real thread is here

LETS DO THIS

 

[TheFightingFish]

I mentioned this in the other thread as well. But just to note several of the Steam applications are on sale as well, so they seem to be in the same "big holiday sales" bucket as Steam games. Going to pick up ArtRage Studio (50% off) myself probably to go along with a MonoPrice tablet.

Bought! No daily/flash will beat 90%.

 

[Salsa]

Quoting myself from the other thread:

refer to "real FAQ" on the OP

 

[Kingbrave]

If you keep hitting next 20 in the top selling part my prices change from dollars to euros to something else...

 

[RetroMG]

Oh, damn.

I had no idea a Steam Sale was incoming.

 

[Dennis]

Bought Walking Dead at -50%

Better be as good as GAF says.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Finally the real thread is here

LETS DO THIS

Gabe is turning into a twilight vampire.

 

[xenoflux2113]

Thats better.

 

[Uthred]

Pretty poor deals compared to Amazon and GMG (not least because Euro customers can pay in dollars with the former two)

 

[JaseC]

Glad to see LucasArts' catalogue is on sale. Now all I need is for the Star Wars pack to go up as a Daily/Flash Sale and I'll be done, for the most part.

 

[Megasoum]

How's the steam version of Kotor 2 as far as mod goes?

 

[atomsk]

BRING BACK THE WISHLIST BUTTON ON THE HOMEPAGE UGH

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Amazon.com has Borderlands 2 for $30. Steam will likely match.

KOTOR II for $2.50. Highly doubt it'll get cheaper than that.

 

[Des0lar]

Gimme Hotline Miami pls

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

Is the Age of Empires III Multi still functional/there still a player base?
