Yes. You could always get it at the last moment for that price if it did not become cheaper.

Wait for the daily or flash, there's a pretty good chance it will show up!
I'm hoping it shows up.
AND IT'S ONLY THE END OF DAY 2.
THE GABE STRIKES AGAIN!
God damn it. I didn't realize that it's only the end of day 2 until you mentioned it. I'm so doomed.
Just re-quoting to find out about the ubisoft DRM, is it intrusive at all? Anyone with experience know.
I hear that trinity pretty much has all the content of the original plus more.
IDK about the older ones but I recently bought a new NON-"For Windows" wired 360 controller since they're USB anyway and did the whole few second plug and play goodness.

Yep, couldn't resist and bought Alan Wake. I'm hoping to see the Crysis franchise soon, just praying it doesn't turn out to be a flash sale that I miss...
I think this is the first time I encounter a difference between Mexico Steam and US Steam.
You can, but you still need the wireless adapter for the PC. I know you can get unofficial versions for cheap ($10) from sites like Deal Extreme but I'm not sure reliable they will be. I just bought the Microsoft one when they still sold it on its own. Now you can only buy it with a controller I think. If you need an extra 360 controller anyways, you can go that route.
Resisted the urge to buy a couple of Tomb raider games simply because I want to stick to my budget or close to it. 
I'll save some for the next sale in december. Think I'm about ready to jump on the following games:
Alan Wake franchise
Max Payne bundle (Alan Wake and MP 1 & 2 are done by the same developer, Remedy)
The binding of Issaac collection (a game I had no intention of buying, but plenty of Gaffers are praising it and it's fucking dirt cheap)
Only need Half Life and Crysis 2 maximum edition although I'm sure I will fail and buy something on impulse. XD

Besides Amnesia, what sort of offerings exist for Survival Horror style games? I need to watch sales!

Not going to make it unless I stick exclusively to the top of my wishlist.
That's not going to happen.

Welp. Going to bed. Guess there's no American Nightmare for me, still getting errors when I try to check out.

Half Life was just on a flash sale.

It is $39.99 for Australians. This is a half price discount until Namco realise their error.
Penumbra games are 75% off. It's from the Amnesia guys, I haven't played them yet but they're supposed to be really good.

How are these games? Worth it?
Spent $38.93 so far and I have:
Half-Life
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Payday: The Heist
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Saints Row: The Third
to thank for that. Steam Summer Sales are the best! (now all I have to do is actually put in time and play these games!)

YOu just need one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WFYZCY/?tag=neogaf0e-20
That's the $10 generic one (a bit of hassle with drivers but after that works great once you get it set up)
Here is the offical one for $22:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HZFCT2/?tag=neogaf0e-20
God damn, when? 0_0 Probably while I was at work...
-_- Bah, at worse I'll buy the Half life anthology on the last day of the sale.

I have a generic one. They work fine except that you hvae to install the drivers manually (windows already has the drivers on your PC or you can download them and then direct it to them). Other than that minor hassle setting them up, the generic ones work fine.
I thought they just raised prices to be in-line with retail. No retail, no price raise.
From the same team that made amnesia. They're older games and they're sort of like a tech demo for their engine but fleshed out. If you liked amnesia I think you'd like them and they're super cheap right now.
HAHAHHAHAHA, that's not how it works!
We only buy and never play.
It's a vicious cycle that the public should be aware about.

Yeah the wired controllers are really great. My brother has one.
If you live next to a Microcenter, they have "refurbished" wired PC 360 controllers for $20. They also have the wireless adapters for $15.

They're kinda rough around the edges, but they're definitely great survival horror titles. Dunno about the 3rd installment, as I never got around to it.

You have to have either a wired Xbox 360 pad or a wireless Xbox 360 pad and the 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows. If you have a wired USB pad you can just plug it in and play.

Alice is a great game, and worth the price its going for right now. Cannot go wrong for 4.99$. Sure, it runs a bit long at points but the atmosphere and art direction are aces. Totally would not hesitate for that price!
Also, the 360 controller+ receiver work GREAT. If you can get your hands on just the receive and you have a controller I totally recommend this. I've played through numerous games recently like this and all console ports/versions work flawless. At the moment Im working through SR3, Alan Wake and AC Brotherhood and all have flawless support. Cannot recommend it enough!

...sigh. bought.
Alice
Terraria (crack btw)
Portal 2
Half-Life 2
Not too bad. but like someone said, it's only the second day!
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
How is Alice: Madness Returns? I recall the reception being pretty lukewarm last year, but maybe I'm mistaken... or maybe these are the same sorts who hated Shadows of the Damned, too, and thus can't' be trusted.
Divine Divinity, which is like... the best CRPG ever, and it looks stupid good in 1080p.

Man I wish there are free games in Steam like before.

bad gameplay lol
I'm really enjoying DarkStar One and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. And Zeno Clash, if you don't already have it, is a really unique game.

150 minimum ping in Tribes it seems :/ Brazil region (closest to home)
Amazingly I was still doing kinda good, and it made me nostalgic hard. Love Tribes, but yeah that latency still bums me out. No custom dedicated servers also..
You guys think I should pick up that starter pack?

I plan on doing this, also. One of the bundles in the CDR includes Sins + GalCiv2 + Demigod. I am banking on there being a daily sale for the Sins Franchise one of the days. I am hoping for the newest Sins 75% off or possibly a bundle with all games. I have GalCiv2, already, but not on steam. I guess it depends on the discount. Right now, Sins: Redemption is 0% off and Trinity is 50%. Since Redemption includes all of the Trinity content, it would be my first choice.
