Gaming Steam Summer Sale 2012 Thread

[Satangel]

Well officially over now :/
Managed to get hold of another copy of Skyrim for a decent price, but that's it.

 

[thegame07]

motherf******, was waiting on jade empire to drop to a decent price during the sale, bought it yesterday at 50% off due to thinking it wouldn't go any lower, and today they drop it to 75% off....sods law strikes again

Out of all the games to become a daily the day after the sale, I thought I had bad luck with steam until I read you're post. unlucky m8.

So now that the sales are over, what's the damage?

REPORT IN WITH YOUR NEW GAMES!

 

[Guild McCommunist]

My total purchases and gifted items...

• Magicka
• One of the Indie Bundles (the one with EYE)
• Just Cause 2
• Mount and Blade Collection
• The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
• TES III: Morrowind

Not bad considering I started the sale with like $16 in my wallet. Although now I have like... $2.

I planned to spend $50 and only get Arkham Asylum/City, Rayman Origins and Sonic Generations and ended up getting all these games. Such is life.

Total Cost: $68.26
Amount: 9
Average Cost: $7

Not bad, for about the price of a retail game, I got several stellar games.

And if it counts, I got The Last Remant for free on Steam from Green Man Gaming thanks to some credit I had. It's on sale for $3 there!

So what did you get?

 

[ShadowSoldier]

$35.40 CAD

Not bad. Would have been less but I really wanted Sonic 4 Ep 2

 

[Devin]

$24.36 worth of damage. Gifted someone Quake in addition to buying it myself.

 

[[M]artin]

Total Cost: $76.89
Amount: 10 (+2 DLC Packs, [12])
Average Cost: $6.40

(I also gifted Portal 2 and Poker Night to two separate people in exchange for some TF2 items, the first day of the sale, I believe)

I GOT EVERYTHING I WANTED

 

[Kwama57]

damn this summer sale sucked i mean the sale had good deals but there was no last chance day like last year and there was no ticket thing like last year(or coal during the winter sale)

I agree.

I was hoping for a last chance day, I missed many days of good deals when I was overseas.

Well they sort of countered this by launching their Mobile app. You could easily purchase games on the go with that.
Not ideal I guess, I'm disappointed by the last day too.
My purchases:

+ 2 x Assassins Creed 2 Deluxe + 1 x L4D Bundle (personal use)
Take note that just about all these titles are aimed at reselling with a profit, I've spent quite a bit on this sale but I'll get it all back + more.

 

[Joe88]

could have gotten the boxed retail version of new vegas for $1 more

You have buyers for them titles or you bought them assuming you will sell them?

 

[machomuu]

Steam
Mount and Blade Collection
Space Pirates and Zombies
Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition
Galactic Civilizations II: Ultimate Edition
Audiosurf
Green Man Gaming
The Last Remnant

All of which were well worth it.

Bit of both, the top titles will go the fastest probably. There are loads of people doing the same at the moment, so the pricepoint isn't ideal atm.

Also, is there a winter sale too on Steam?
