Tow sets of three.
The first time they had them the times were all over the place.

Nope, nothing
I mean the three 6, 8, and 10 hour rotating flash sales. The ones now last long enough that I probably won't miss something due to things like sleep.

I know soon there will be people complaining that they got their games at a too high price since they didn't wait for dailies or flash sales. So let this image help you on your quest of not buying it instantly.
I have been waiting for Shogun 2 to get a discount for a month or so now. It's on 50% now.
Maybe it'll hit 75% in a few days.
The next few days will be torture.

There's too much to choose from when your steam library is barely over 40 games. I had a moment of panic when I bought the parts for my gaming rig last month, questioning whether I'd done the right thing, or whether the money was better spent elsewhere. This steam sale makes me warm and fuzzy inside, and tells me my money was well spent. I hear good things about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, so may pick those up. I just need to pace myself, otherwise I'll blow through my steam wallet in a matter of days.
Anyone looking at the Prince of Persia games, don't buy The Forgotten Sands or the bundle if you don't want to support Ubisoft's always-online DRM.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Good luck!

Somebody in the Steam thread noted that Capcom (yeah I should have known better) made a post about how they expected a lot of activity today. And to be fair 50% is pretty good for them. Still, I wanted to see how bad ORC is, but not to the tune of $35 for the whole package.

seems like the past few sales have had awful day 1 deals as well. might be a ploy to ride the sale hyped and get people to splurge on day 1? who knows.
wait until tomorrow i guess

They were patched out IIRC. The store page hasn't been updated.

Feel a bit underwhelmed.
Hitman Absolution is $30, but Amazon had it for $20.
Borderlands 2 was already $30 last month. Season Pass isn't on sale.

Oh, okay. I'll update my post.

Ah, bollocks. I was on the brink of adding it to my cart, but I really don't want to deal with draconian DRM, so I'll pass.
EDIT: Just read Karmacow's post, so I'm back on the brink again.
I asked this last page, but nobody answered, so I'll ask again; how does the SoT trilogy fare against the abysmal HD collection on the PS3?
That's my main annoyance with this year's sale. I feel a bit bad complaining about a sale because they don't have to do one, but up until now the Winter sales at the very least have all had a big differentiating feature from past sales. By comparison this year seems a bit lazy to be honest - it's practically the same as the summer sale but with less games discounted per day, so at the moment, it's worse.
Thanks for the tip. I've been thinking of searching through the attic for the game discs, but I think I'd rather just pay 2 euro's and be done with.
Now, if only Mark of the Ninja and Resonance would go down to 66-75%.

Steam sale plans.
Gift L4D2, Portal 2, and maybe the Orange Box. Gift a decent racing game to someone else.
Grab two or three titles for myself at most if they are exceptional bargains. Steam backlog has put me off buying much else.

On-topic: I'm a bit surprised at the fact that people at calling it a bad sale. C'mon people, it's barely the first day.

What are you trying to prove? Over the past months, Amazon has been consistently beating Steam in sale prices. Your few examples don't change that.
