    I got nothing and wasn't that blue toads game the daily deal a few days ago?  It's also saying that it has 260 hours till it expires for me.  I'm hoping they had an error and the sale is suppose to start soon.

    The store usually looks weird at the start of these sales. Servers are probably being hit hard and not everything has rolled out everywhere yet.

    Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is 75% off. I remember the Bombcast going on about that ages ago... Sounded MAD. Might pick it up for £3.25.

    It's not working well at the moment, but I suggest everyone check their wishlist for sales that they're interested in. The sale prices will already appear there.

    Check the specials page. The list is growing rapidly. They'll have everything set up soon.
     
    @Skytylz: Wait until we near the end of the sale just in case they feature it in daily deal. If by the end of the sale they don't, I would still totally recommend it for that price. I paid a lot more and I have no regrets.

    LOL my friend just gifted me SSF4AE using HIS extra 10% discount from owning vanilla SF4, after he bought SSF4AE for himself
     
    so if anyone that has vanilla SF4 you can use the extra 10% (for a total of 43% off lol) to help your friends too

    You probably should have waited until the daily deals went up.  Last year in the 4th of July sale Recettear was part of an indy pack of 5 games for $5.

    Does anyone know that if I buy a pack such as the Valve Complete pack if I could gift certain games out of that pack? I already own Portal 2 and would gift it away if I purchased the pack.

    again guys, WAIT FOR THE DAILY DEALS, dont start buying stuf yet
     
    unless its SSF4AE, i think that might be a mistake to put the 33% off on a PRE ORDER (43% off if you had vanilla sf4)
