The Official Steam Summer Sale Thread

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Supposedly going to start today. No idea what time or anything. However. I AM HYPED. Not got much money though. So guys. Are YOU ready?

[Pleiades]

Rumors are pointing towards a July 12th date, but if it does start today, it'll be in five minutes.

I really hope it's today.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Really? I thought all summer sales start on the last Thursday in June...

I guess we will see in 5 minutes ^^

[Daemon]

...and it's not today.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

and disappointment all round. Keep in mind that the mid week madness also ends today so it might be then too.

Nah, if it were today it would have started around 10 minutes ago.

So now we wait until the 12th, I suppose. Disappointment, but at least now I have more time to work through my backlog before adding even more games to it.

It gives me more time to get more money.

So now with this weeks Weekend Madness ending six hours earlier than usual, it seems all signs are pointing towards the 12th as the Summer Sale's official starting date. Anyone else looking forward to wasting money, or resisting temptation?

I'm hoping the Ys games go on sale individually, personally.

I've got $25 in my Steam wallet and plenty more money just in case.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Well, due to Midweek Madness and other sales, I only want one game from the summer sale. ARMA II. I wanted Just Cause 2, Killing Floor, Dungeon Defenders and ARMA II. JC2 was on sale on GamersGate, Killing Floor was on offer at the weekend and Dungeon Defenders is on Midweek Madness.

I just want to buy ARMA II so that I can play Day Z. I'll probably end up buying more games..

oh my poor backlog, when will I have time to play all these damn games.

The people at Steam's forums believe the sale will start in 15 minutes. And the bargains are amazing:

[Daemon]

I can't read that European mumbo jumbo. What's that amount in 'Murican dollars?

[swe 08]

You'll only save 2-3 bucks.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

30 seconds. HOLD ON TO YOUR BALLS.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

Steam Sale is a go!

[Necromancer]

30 seconds. HOLD ON TO YOUR BALLS.

Bitch please.
I'm ALWAYS holding my balls.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

It has begun.

[Daemon]

TOTAL WAR SHOGUN 2 AND DEUS EX!

[Pleiades]

Ys Oath is only $5.09, and it's not even a daily deal. Do you guys think there's any chance of it being one later on, or should I just buy it now? The temptation is overwhelming.

EDIT: Good lord, there's even community choice sales and flash sales. Valve really doesn't want you to look away from Steam for too long.
