I'm surprised by how much fun Burnout Paradise is. A shame that you can't get the DLC island, though. 
I'm pretty sure I got BP for free on my PS3 (thanks to PS+), but it seems I cannot force myself to go back to an inferior version of the game...

Voted for Rayman Origins for two reasons!
1) It's awesome
2) It's a UBISOFT game with no additional DRM!
Two reasons it has my support!

Yea its been on sale for $5 at least once.
It's been up at least twice. Keep an eye out on the last day wrapup...there are also some folks that may have stashed a few copies in their gift collection that you could work something out with.
Yeah I think by now its hit all 3 types of deals already. There's only 2 days left so who can say if it'll show again.

Here's a quick recommendation for one of those "hidden" cheap and lesser known games:
Tobe's Vertical Adventure
http://store.steampowered.com/app/105700/
A fun and irresistably cute (seriously, the pixel art is just gosh darn adorable) little treasure hunting platformer with a neat premise and some pretty damn clever level design. You descend down a cave while collecting various treasure in the form of coins and little treasure chests and you'll be rescuing tiny pixel animals as well. Once you reach the bottom of the cave a big chest will be waiting for you. Unlock it and the cave starts to crumble. Now you need to be quick and escape the cave before the timer runs out. With everything falling apart, some blocks and walls have now disappeared, changing the level design ever so slightly and opening up shortcuts and new paths to previously unreachable treasure. So even on the way back up you will have to keep an eye out for collectibles. But thankfully you can plan for this during your descent.
It's a cool idea that works surprisingly well. It strikes a great balance between careful exploration and frantic platforming. It's fun to explore each cave first and find all or most of the collectibles without being pressured by a timer, and then finally having to speed-run the hell out of there once you've reached the very bottom.
Collected treasure and rescued animals unlock health, extra lives and gadget upgrades (the latter are rarely used to begin with). The game has two separate story modes for the two main characters plus a co-op mode. It also has native controller support.
I have only played up to the last world of Tobe's campaign so far. It doesn't seem to be a very long game, that's for sure. I suspect you can play through both stories in about 3 to 4 hours total. No complaints here though, especially at the current price point. I'm not sure if the co-op mode is an entirely separate campaign.
The game's two major flaws are the somewhat stubborn and difficult to master controls and the all too frequent physics and collision glitches. The good news is that you'll eventually at least get used to the former.
Summer Sale Price:
Europe: 1,12€
US: $1.24
Although the bit about two different campaigns is not really accurate. The game advertises two different "stories", but the levels are the same, just two different characters with some different controls and abilities. So, it's a short game, you'll 100% it in under 3 hours. If you wanna get all the achievements you need to play both characters' stories though and beat some time trials. That will probably add another 2 hours. Still, I think it's totally worth it at the current price tag.

Even though I've barely played it, I think I regret picking up Dead Island...

Don´t. Find a friend who has it also and play it in co-op. Even though it has its bugs and glitches, its really great fun.

It depends on the game you are playing

I tried to download Fallout NV while playing Dead Island and it didn't work.

And so it starts
If they added it I imagine it could be a game-by-game thing. IE single player games let it keep going because, really, why does your bandwidth need to be locked down during Half Life or Ys?

Either way, you can just alt+tab out and pause, then start download to keep downloading while a game is active.
I was playing Hot Pursuit multiplayer. I have decent internet though.

In light of Dupy's kindness and the overall good vibes of this thread, I'd like to pay it forward. The first five people who quote me will each have a chance to win a copy of the PixelJunk Eden Soundtrack Bundle. The person with the avatar that I most prefer wins. If you quote me but don't have an avatar, then I will give you a chance to pick one before deciding on a winner

Worked completely fine while I was playing Alan Wake's 'The Writer' Episode while downloading Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
Just curious, does the Sale end on the 22nd or is the final day with the recap of the sales on the 23rd?
