are we looking at the same thing? I don't see any sales notices. I do see in specials that they have game packs again, like all games by a publisher.

Holy Crap, look at the Strategy First Summer Package. A lot of older games, but there is a lot of them for just $50. And I don't think I have one of them.

Go ahead and hit the Specials button, even though it may still say 8 there are 130+ so far.

Hell I'm viewing most of the specials just by looking at my wishlist.

specials on the right side goes to a page with nothing. specials link in the middle goes to 30 specials.

I don't get how you guys are seeing this stuff?

Just wait a few, Steam always stumbles around a lot at the start of the sale putting everything up, wait for the dust to settle. Once it is all up and such I'll start a thread to keep it all updated like usual.

I also suggest not buying stuff till the end of the sale like usual either. They'll have daily deals up and the games you want might be a daily deal and be cheaper as well.

I'm sure everyone refreshing the page constantly is helping too. ;)

Yea the specials page is hit and miss but I had so many games wishlisted that I can see them that way. I really want to get Fable 3 for $37 but I think I'm going to end up burning all my money on $50 packs that have a shitload.

I see Oblivion is on sale. Might as well put it in my cart. Maybe I will actually be inspired to play it through before Skyrim comes out.

Bit-trip runner looks neat too and it's on for $2.50.

This thread sucks; is someone going to actually post the sale items and prices? I can't see any gaming sites while at work, but I'd like to know and plan ahead.

KT

Edit: oh, sounds like they are down anyway.

It looks like half the Steam library is on sale...or more...a fuckload of work posting it here.

Kaotik might be better off just posting the major Packages lol.

yeah seriously. there's 55 pages of specials right now...

what are you interested in. maybe we can let you know if it's on sale or not.

Or you can do a google latest search for steam + game name.
