Summer Steam sale is happening now and will run through July 22, 2013.

The servers are overloading, but I was able to see the initial selection and you're not missing much at the moment.

Flash sale on Bastion is pretty nuts. 85% off and that includes the kickass soundtrack. Grabbed the soundtrack and a bundle for my friend because holy cow is that game good.

I also picked up Dark Souls. Don't think I'll see that for cheaper than ~$7.50

Sale on Bastion going on right now? Was thinking of picking that up. Thanks for the tip.

Do it. That game is worth every penny at full price, and on sale you have no reason to hesitate. It's good stuff.

GRRR BL2 just went on sale for $10 on steam...

FML, would have loved to have gotten it on Steam over 360... even if you can't do the hotseat thing, which is kinda why I got it in the first place.

I have to second cid's motion regarding Bastion.

Don't know if that's still going but the Penny Arcade RPGs episodes 3 and 4 were on sale this week (not that they aren't already dirt cheap). I had read a little bit up on episode 3 and it had some interesting ideas. Any item you use is replenished after battle, so many encounters actually expect you to use items to win. Also you can see the turn order like in FFX.

Also, a friend just showed me this.

lol wtf....


Yeah so they're jerks on Steam. Borderlands 2 was down to $10.19, but it was for the 1 day only - it's back up to about $21 now. Still a good deal, but bleh.

And the DLC's not on sale like it was on 360 either (kinda sorry I didn't get Krieg now but oh well).

Re: Official "we make too many video game sale threads" Thread

You whine too much Mal. Borderlands 2 and the season pass are both on sale again today.

I'm just bummed that people passed over Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition in favor of Sleeping Dogs for a community choice sale.

Re: Official "we make too many video game sale threads" Thread

I already got the game on 360 when it went on sale for 9.99


Somewhat wish I'd waited for the Steam Sale, but I had no idea it was gonna happen. I like how on 360 I can hotseat with friends/GF too, though I like that on Steam I don't have to pay to play online whenever I want :/


Also, the season pass doesn't cover everything; Krieg and Gaige are separate.


EDIT: Damn, Krieg's on sale as well :O


So about $26 for Krieg, the game and the pass on steam right now (I don't see Gaige listed anywhere and she's not mentioned in the season pass - if she's included, that's a steal)


EDIT: Ok, so a friend of mine wants to split on the 4-pack for Borderlands 2 (sale ends in 20 hours) but we still need like 2 more people to split on. Just figured I'd ask here, as I've already posted on my FB page but no replies yet.

Also, a friend just showed me this.

I was about to post that myself.

I got XCOM for the equivalent of $10. Everything else I get from the summer sale is, as my American friends would put it: just gravy.

Luckily work and my current obsession with Dota 2 has prevented me from getting a good look at the sales. I think I'm in the clear.

Oh, hey, Tomb Raider's on sale.
