Yeah, I thought so too, but it started on the 14th or so last year. I'm guessing it will be next Friday.

I'd wager either Thursday (they've always started on Thursdays) or Monday (which is when all the current sales end).

Unless the unthinkable happens and there isn-

No, we don't speak of such grim possibilities.

For Valve NOT to do a summer sale would be inconceivable. I think they make most of their money from teh vastly increased pool of buyers during their sale periods.

There is a Playstation (One) games sale on PSN. Among the games are Syphon Filter, Metal Gear Solid, Crash Bandicoot, Castlevania: SOTN, MediEvil, Silent Hill, Tekken II, the Spyro Trilogy and several other games.

And I mean the Spyro Trilogy. Not the single games. There is a discount for the first game too, but not the other games. PSN seems to have trouble with the concept of making sense.

Also, the sale ends on the 10th July.

Well, Steam summer sale isn't starting today. I know some people thought it might, since a bunch of deals were ending. Thursday is normally when their big deals start, right? It's definitely this week.

By the looks of it, this year's Steam Summer Seal will be this Thursday. In the meantime, the Midweek Madness is the Need for Speed franchise (70% off)

A reminder, courtesy of onyhow who pointed this out to me:

When you want to get a game, especially if it's an indie game, check the developer's website first. They might be willing to sell you both a DRM-free copy AND a Steam key for deeply-discounted prices! (FTL was doing this earlier, at the same time it was on sale on both Steam and GOG.)

Also part of Midweek Madness are two Half Life deals: you can either get Half-Life 2 for $2.50, or a bundle of all things Half-Life related for $10.
