Not having it on Steam may be a deal breaker for some, but for many it won't be given the extra bonus material you get, plus DRM Free. Plus, it is actually cheaper when you average out the promotion price over 5 games total.
To each their own though.
Wait GameFly has BF deals too? Only thing I ever got from there was PAYDAY for $5.

that sucks, then why is it praised so much?

I think no DRM is better than DRM, even if it's Steam.
It's bad and not fun. I bought it for $10 and it was a total waste. The way they designed the combat is really terrible in practice, and nothing like Frozen Synapse that they were cribbing from.
Because people are entertained by the plot.

You really do have to jump on those Amazon offers as soon as possible if you are interested.

Yeah my order now went through as well. Damn those cheap UK prices!
Because it is the closest we'll get to a Voigt-Kampff test

Jeez...stop playing Dota for a day, and finish The Walking Dead and To The Moon.

$19 for Dishonored? i just bought it for 22.50 from GMG 
Oh well...
using this: GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q + the 50% that GMG already has on it..

It was already at 50% off this sale. It was listed at 75% off for $2.99, but when I went to checkout, it was at 66% off for $3.39.
So it looks like XCOM is on sale on Gamersgate for $35. With IGN Prime discount and the G2PO discount the price drops to $28. The game is Steamworks, so you get a Steam code.
If you lack an IGN discount, I could probably buy and gift a copy for you if you paypal the funds. I'd offer to do the same for Dishonored, but UK GAF is getting a better deal on that one.

Trying hard not to buy Scribble.
How are you guys getting that price. I go to www.gamersgate.com and the coupon only takes a dollar off and it shows up for $28. Am I missing something?
You need to have an IGN Prime account, and you probably need to be from the UK. Game is $29.99 in the US. With all discounts, it drops to $22 and change.
You can use your GG even if you aren't in the UK. I got my copy from the UK site and I'm in the US.
So you can. Didn't know that.

I just bought it but haven't played it yet. I watched TotalBiscuit's video of it awhile back and it looked like a pretty polished and competent tower defense game, but I'm mostly interested in checking out the co-op and competitive multiplayer.
Yep so buy away at $19 Dishonored! Well if you have the IGN discount lol.

I know that feeling, only joined PC gaming last year. What's your rig and what sort of games do you like, maybe Steam GAF can give you some recommendations?
Use code g2po too and that'll make it £12.09 or $19.77.
Code must not of worked for you because £14.98 is the regular sale price. My price in cart (not buying since I already own Dishonored) is just under £12 with both discounts.
I did that and it just took a dollar off. Strange. Did I just pay 30 for it then? :/
Not that bad. Works out to $24 USD even if you payed the full £14.98.
EDIT. That's basically the same as the US price minus IGN and G2PO discounts

Alternatively, as someone else said, Dishonored is available at Green Man Gaming for $22.50 using GMG25-G4VDR-0ZL4Q.
I'm finding out that VPN's don't seem to work with steam anymore. This is a fucking disgrace, I'm not paying exorbitant mark-ups just because of where I live.
Sorry for the bitch, I've always been able to use a VPN to get fair pricing, and that seems to be no longer possible.
Maybe someone could gift it to you.
You conceded, actually.
I don't plan on buying much during this sale, though -- at this juncture, just the Star Wars Collection, Capcom's Dailies/Flashes, and the occasional indie. It's taking every ounce of restraint I have, but with the Christmas/Winter Sale around the corner, I'd rather wait for it and then go nuts.
Edit: I hope next year's Summer Sale also begins late July. The timing was perfect this year as I received my tax return in time for the sale.
Oh yeah.
Oh man, I spent so much. Jesus...
Edit: Wait, was your final count $519? I could've sworn I did more than that. Doesn't matter. Valve was the only winner from this.
There was a time when I was a big fan, but I fall out of love with the genre. I'm hoping with AoE and CoH, that it will rekindle that love affair once again. It seems like I picked two of the best games for the job. Thanks!

Where do you live?
Yes, It worked, amazing price. I paid 11 pounds for the game, which is 17$.
Australia. Possibly the most continuously fucked up region in terms of price gouging.
Thanks, I'll keep this in mind.

umm people can always gift you things and you pay them back with paypal.
I didn't say it was dead. Obviously there are still people playing it, but the previous Call of Duty games always fall to the wayside for the most recent release. Today's peak player counts (MW2 onwards):
Blops 2 MP: ~49k
MW3 MP: ~22k
Blops MP: ~5k
MW2 MP: ~9k

The sale has made Doom 3 BFG more expensive for those that already have Doom 3. Pretty sure it was 33% off before, now it's only 25% - not that I'm rushing to buy it...
Damage so far is Max Payne 3 and 2 copies of Critter Crunch. Was thinking about Dead Island then the flash sale ended much sooner than I expected.
