Interesting. Just logged into the website (I'm at work) and there is a game that says, "This game not available in your region".

Not in canada? Odd.

NM. Refreshed the page and it's the indie bundle.

Wonder why they waited til now. They normally did the sale over the 4th. Maybe to allow for vacations? Well, better late than never I suppose.

I just about bought it too and then had the same thought as you two. If it goes on a daily sale, great. Otherwise I'd happily pay $18 for it on the last day. I've waited this long, I can wait another few days one way or the other.

[jpublic]

it appears they updated the CK2 Complete to be $12.50, only $2.50 over the base. Purchased at that price.

So, think there will be anything cool for acquiring the highest level of the Steam Summer Sale 2012 badge? Seems fairly easy, just have to vote a lot, join the official group, and buy one discounted item.

Maybe they finally realized that putting it too close to the beginning of the summer term cuts off a lot of student shoppers.

I bet they get more sales by waiting.

[MagGnome]

Yeah, I think waiting was a smart idea.

Now I just need to wait and not spend any money. Maybe I should unsubscribe from this thread and uninstall Steam for the next 10 days.

[MagGnome]

The 48.9 KB/s download rate that I'm getting right now is so awesome. -_-

[Arphahat]

Back to the Future is a Flash Sale now, for $6.24. I played the demo, which is the first chapter, and had a blast. Tempted to get it, but not sure I need to yet.

[Ink Asylum]

These flash sales are devious. Staggered so you have to check the site a dozen times a day.

Oh shit, Duke, what are you doing? You buy all that shit on the last day after you're sure they won't be daily deals.

[Abyssion]

I'm gonna keep a look out for the Ys games and maybe some other wishlisted games like Binary Domain. My goal is to not spend too much money, especially with all the games I currently have and the ones that are pre-ordered.

By the way, are the Steam Badges new, or have they always been there?

They're new. Introduced today.

[maharahaj]

I grabbed Grimlock, Heroes of Might and Magic and Terraria, for $10.XX.

I held up on grabbing The Walking Dead season pass, as I feel that will be a daily deal in the coming days.

Most of that list is just the Telltale Bundle... I learned the lesson about daily deals during their first winter sale. I jumped the gun and both games I wanted later became daily deals. I could've saved about 12 dollars, but the lesson was definitely learned.

I raged when I played the first chapter of that game. They completely ignore the sequels, and as far as I'm concerned, BttF2 is the best of the series. Also, I've read spoilers for how the story goes, and it really doesn't fit the theme of the franchise. Feels more like an episode of the cartoon or something.

Citizen Brown, derp derp.

[Xerxes]

Just went to Gamestop for $100 in steam wallet dollars. I still have a lot Gamestop credit. I'm hoping a hundred holds up.

[J Arcane]

Well, I've bought three games already...

Alien Shooter 2 Conscription, M&M Clash of Heroes, and Warlock, the latter two of which were flash deals of simply unignorable prices, and the former of which was a mere $2.50.

I couldn't resist.

I don't understand why there is no mention of them on the front page.
