Well, not just on Steam, but they are pretty big. Like that past summer sale for instance.

Steam is the freakin' best. I got Mass Effect, TF2, and Border Lands each for 10 dollars. Hell, most of my games are from discount sales, and I have like 40+.

Meanwhile, my PS 3 stands next to my PC, mostly neglected, unless I wanna play a bit of Killzone 2...

Oh, it's just a free to play weekend.

That's a little disappointing.

I'm waiting for the next steam sale to binge on valve stuff (tbh I only recently discovered steam with the whole portal free thing)

So how often are the sales, and more specifically when's the next steam sale (end of year? when does that start?)

The sales don't have any rhyme or reason to them as far as I can tell, but some of the best ones come and go pretty fast. I recommend keeping a careful eye on it.

Picked up Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 earlier in the week for about 14 dollars total. I'd have to spend about 100 to get them in stores.

Life is glorious.

I think there's typically a weekend sale every weekend and a midweek sale every midweek.

There's a really big sale during the holidays, and there may be other big sales during the other holidays.

The Steam platform in general is awesome. It's a great way to discover games to drain my wallet and melt my computer that I never would have known about otherwise.

Arkham Asylum GOTY for $13.60?!

Hoooly crap.

Halloween sale at this weekend. Not as big as this past summer though, nor would it be as big as the holiday sale (which I am saving for). In case anyone missed the last Left 4 Dead bundle sale, it's back right now.

Other titles featured include: Amnesia The Dark Descent, Bioshock, Ghostbusters: The Game and Plants Vs Zombies to name a few.

I really don't have the hard drive space for L 4 D, but that sale is making me want it so.... bad....

There's now a Thanksgiving sale out there. Still likely savin' to the holidays, but this will go near all week, and they also include gifting bundles, including:

  • 10 gifting copies of Half-Life 2 for $20.
  • 8 gifting copies of Deus Ex for $12
  • 6 gifting copies of Borderlands for $40. (though it looks like the DLCs aren't part of it this time)
  • 6 gifting copies of R. U. S. E. for $150

EDIT: Oh! Forgot to mention that every day for this week, 30 users shall receive the top 5 games on their wishlist.

Yesterday I got Alpha Protocol for just $12.50. Score!

Today, I was a cheap bastard and get Recettear for $5. Along with 4 other games I don't really care about. I feel vaguely guilty about that (I'd have been quite happy to buy the game alone with a 25% or 50% discount) but nobody put a gun to the head of Carpe Fulgur and demanded they do something so bloody stupid.

Oh yes, Recettear for five euros. And Yet It Moves isn't bad either. It's basically a better (if not somewhat harder) version of the Gravity Duck-type games. Hell, even if I don't feel like puzzles, I can still strut about like I'm David Bowie in the climax of Labyrinth and that's something. Haven't gotten around to checking the other games in the bundle yet.

Anything that allows me to pretend I am David Bowie can't be too bad.

$7.50 for the Orange Box!

Now that's awesome! For those who didn't have it yet, there's just one hour left before the deal is gone!

And apparently there's gonna be the last part of the Thanksgiving event starting 10 AM Pacific today.
