    Aha! You almost got me steam sale! I was so close to buying the Call of Duty pack... then I remembered that COD3 wasn't released on PC.... then I realized I already played the COD4 single player... Then I realized I have no interest in any multiplayer in any of these games.... then I realized I don't want to play a WW2 shooter ever again... 
     
    And luckily I already purchased most of the deals.... 
     That rockstar deal looks good though..... must.... hold.... back.... 
     
    I have a bandwidth cap to consider.... and money is tight.........

    You clearly have some disposable cash, and i really wish i had the same amount. If i just had 500 bucks laying around with no use i would so buy everything on sale right now.

    So what you're saying is.  The steam sale almost got you.  But then you realized, that steam already had you.  So you couldn't be gotten anymore than you've already been got.

    I've always been one to save up money on the side. 
    Been doing that since I was five and then when I finally got a job(when I was old enough for that) I could save even more money. 
    Though I have to stop buying more stuff from steam about now, there are other stuff that needs a purchase too. 
     
    Next year though I'll only be buying one Steam Bundle. 
    And giving one away to some lucky person on my Steam Friendslist

    That is sort of true, but I could be gotten more.... And they almost did get me this time.  
    I already bought all the indie packs and THQ pack and a bunch of smaller games a long time ago...  
     
    Even though it's not on sale I almost bought the Rome: Total war pack... it's got such great reviews and I never bothered with it.

    Steam failed to remove MLB 2k10 (the game is not out in Europe) form the European version of the 2k bundle. They have now removed it but I still have it, too bad I don't like baseball.

    Sometimes I do wonder if Valve are on a personal mission to bankrupt the lot of us, every time there's a sale I just have to buy something, I nearly stood my ground today but that Shatter deal was too good to pass up, as was Flotilla, and Cryostatis, and Altitude, and... I could keep going! You win again Steam!

    What I am trying to figure out is what Valve gets out of supporting TF2 so well? They are selling it for under $15 and there is still plenty more updates on the way.... 
     
    WHAT PC GAMER HASN'T PURCHASED IT YET?!? 
     
    I almost want to buy it again. But then I think about l4d2 and my hard-on for valve goes away.

    Dude, that's probably one of the most "saled" games on steam. You could have picked it up for 2 bucks last Christmas.

     I am saying l4d2 is what l4d should have been with updates. That is why I pre ordered it because I looked at TF2 as an example. You can agree or disagree, but personally I don't feel like I got a good deal when I pre ordered l4d. I still am a bit sour about l4d2.

    yeah i think l4d2 should have an updated version of l4d1 as well. Also something about left 4 does didn't grab me as much as i thought it would. I mean i love coop and i love shooting things. So l4d should be awesome. but oh well. Killing Floor is where its at for me. i think it may be cause i'm a dude who likes killing every enemy possible.

    $4.99, what a deal.....I had gta4 in my cart and ready to go.... and then I looked at HDD requirements....

     I have 3 tb of space in my rig, but its my bandwidth cap that would be done for.... 
      
    You almost got me again steam.... and I would of happily have been got if not for a pesky ISP with no competition in my area.
