    No.

    No.

    Not even going to think about it.

    No.

    I bought the King Arthur games last time for Christ sake.

    Well maybe just some indie games then.

    I only just got around to playing Deus Ex the other week, which I got well over a year ago at this stage. Not going to bother looking at these sales. I never play half the games I buy :(

    I actually looked for some games to buy recently, anything for the PC that might be worthwhile, but nothing really interested me.

    I have far too many games and most I've never played, but the Steam Sale...it calls out to me !! ....I know there is gonna be a bundle of 10 average games for some low price...games I would never consider buying or playing...but just will buy because of it being an amazing deal :(:( ...I'm so weak

    Damn you Gabe Newell !!!!

    I wish I could gift the games I've never activated or downloaded in Steam

    I think you mean Star Wars: The Old Republic which is going to be an Origin exclusive game for digital downloads.

    They have some of the packs up already

    Valve 79% off
    Rockstar 67% off
    87% off 1C collection
    64% off Unreal Deal Pack


    Valve pack is €45 on it. For Portal 1/2,HL 1/2,CS,DoD,TF and L4D 1/2, that's great value.

    But then again, why wouldnt you have most of them?

    66% off Oblivion

    Why on earth do they have SecuROM included in the Steam version? the 4 machine activation limit has actually put me off buying it.

    Not really,but it could end up as a daily deal some day. Anything non-daily deal won't get more expensive so best to wait

    If they're included in a daily deal they'll be reduced more

    looks like today's deals are recettear, lead and gold, bit.trip runner and bit.trip beat.

    They might - daily deals tend to drop some of the already low prices ridiculously low.

    Not a Mac friendly sale so far. Tempted to pick up Recettar at that price even though I can't play it :pac: Damn you Steam sales!

    I'd say Portal 2 might get a further reduction near the end. Or is it too soon?

    Anyone played Bit.Trip Beat? Runner is OK but unfairly hard on Wii, so a bit dubious about the franchise.
