    We all know its coming, and we all know it is going to happen soon, very soon!!! :p

    So so far i have already ordered 256gb ssd just for steam, it should be here next week.

    So far i would really love to see these games to go on sale:

    Batman arkham city - the game i hold off and now its about time to get it, get it cheap that is! :D

    CIvilisation 5 +expansion - i was not a fan of it, when it came out. if its cheap i will get it this time!

    Jagged alliance - i am a HUGE fan of JA2, but the new ones did not made go "OMFG, jizz in my pants". If its dirt cheap then i will get it!

    Walkind dead - something i would get cheap

    Sins of solar empire - i am huge rts and strategy fan, but i never had this in my hands! shocking!

    thats just the top of my head! so what are you looking forward lads? :D i know few fellas building/upgrading their PCs, so they could get advantage of steam sale!

    Woot! My first steam sale with a high end gaming PC! I was so jelly last year as i only picked up Trine and Magicka and my PC had terrible FPS on the lowest settings making them unplayable :D

    This time im gonna buy all of them. All of them...

    Fallout and GTA, Valve. Just put those two series on sale, that'd be perfect.

    I am going to buy everything that looks cheap even though I already have a massive backlog of games to play from previous steam sales... :(

    Amature! Steam sales were never about playing games, it was about buying them and having bigger list of games :D

    Wait! You're meant to play the games you buy? Hmmm, that could explain all these unplayed games

    Shadowhearth knows the deal !

    You buy as many games as possible in case something ever happens that you can't buy games in the future.

    It's like going shopping on an empty stomach, you just buy EVERYTHING that looks good :D

    You mean when it's a massive 10% off? :p

    This might be the first Summer Sale that I'm not really interested, probably because I have far too many games already and have a couple of years worth of backlog. I'll most likely pick up a couple of smaller indie games but doubt I'll get much else.

    I got three games I'm interested in getting atm; two of them will never be on a steam sale (not listed on steam :/ ).

    Having said that if I get away with less then 5 games I'll be surprised! There are some indy titles there I'm considering purely on name alone...

    Well judging by the list of daily sales (5 games a day usually tied to the daily goals) I have about 4 of the 40. Saw that the Ys game might be on sale, may pick that up. Otherwise, not really much I want TBH. If its cheap enough, possibly Arma 2 to try DayZ.

    That list isn't a full list.

    Yup. That list was only for Indy games. Big boys haven't showed their stuff yet.

    Theres a nice looking Civilization pack , that if its priced properly I'll wind up buying (it'll be my second time owning civ5 but the download packs add up)

    Also the Batman pack , agin if its priced right.

    All this GOTY edition is nearly stopping me buying new games when they come out, just wait a while and get all the dlc for more or less free. Skyrim for instance , I havent spent half enough time with , by the time I get round to it there'll be tons of DLC.

    So what? Not like you need to install all those games you are going to buy and not play! I think I could fill my current HD thrice over just with what I bought last Christmas :)

    Especially when a few posts previously he expressed his distaste for actually playing the games he buys in Steam sales :pac:
