@AhmadMetallic: nope, they have new deals everyday, on pretty much all the games on steam, expect the indie ones

I'm wondering, Isn't steam going to earn less money this year since they are taking ages to begin the summer sale, and now amazon is doing a huge summer sale aswell. I mean, alot of people are already buying the games they wanted on sale on amazon, isn't steam going to lose with this? think about it

There are a couple of million people logged in Steam at any time. So I don't think the changes will be of any significance.

Aren't they doing maintenance on the server today? They posted something about that on their Facebook probably getting it ready for the summer sale but who knows.

Yeah I'm trying to wait for the sale, this will be my first one...

Borderlands GOTY is $7.50 on Amazon, but I will wait for the Steam sale (eats hair).

Looks like it's starting to roll out. Right now Codemasters games are 25% off until the 12th, but it's not listed in the spotlight and just now appeared in the 'specials' area (15 minutes ago). I bet it'll start tomorrow. Keep an eye on http://www.steamgamesales.com/ to see the games as they go on sale.

@MrKlorox: Maybe the 5th? Deals usually change on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Midweek Madness doesn't change until....wait no...

4th of July is totally a great time for the sale to start, Midweek Madness and Weekend deals coexist, so I could totally see the proper summer sale coexisting with midweek madness.

It has got to be this week. I'm tearing up here.

Oh gawd i am ready for this!!!!! I have a list this year of games I denied buying right off the bat. Good sense anyways because I really have enough to fool with, but now my tv is down, so it is strictly PC. And I have a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro crt Moniter all ready for it. love this moniter, it is so easy to go back to....

I'm shaking already.

Well, I hope it really is tomorrow; this sale is starting to become Steam Sale: Episode 3.

@BeachThunder: It is the third Summer sale...guess Gabe really can't pull the trigger on anything more than three times.

awwwe yeah CAN'T FUCKING WAIT, got a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 Laptop getting ship to me tomorrow (was blown away of how good the specs on that thing are and how cheap, 1.2k Canadian,it was). I haven't had a decent computer for like 6 years so I'm super excited.

This Summer Sale is gonna bankrupt me!!!!

THE SUMMER SALE IS A LIE

Steam sales aren't the best thing for those who memorized their credit card number + CVV code.

More than two times. Doing something for the third time would be an impressive feat, to say the least.

Penny Arcade 3 just updated; have other games been updating too?

I'm installing a bunch of the F2P games. Maybe there will be updates for those.

@Lunar_Aura: Paypal is good for that.

Hmm what's up with all the -25%?

wonder if anyone at valve is just sitting there swearing at internet for expecting sales and being angry when there aren't any.

I was unemployed during the huge sale around Christmas last year, so my purchasing abilities were limited. But now that I have a steady income stream...

I'm actually not going to go crazy, but I am looking forward to picking up a few good titles.

I just want some more coal

Hoping to see L4D and L4D2 go on sale... I know I'm really late to the party on those, but I think my computer MAY be able to play them okay. It runs TF2 well, at least, so I hope so.

WHERE"S MY STEAM SALE????? I FEEL A SURGE OF ENTITLEMENT WELLING UP THROUGH MY LOINS.

Make no mistake, I am half serious too!!!

What the fuck. Codemasters games are back to normal again and the rest of the sale never started? I guess somebody pressed the wrong button on the Codemaster's page last night. How long does the sale normally last? Would the 4th through the 12th, that was listed on the Codemaster's page, have been be longer than normal?

@MrKlorox: Last years sale was a week and three days.

The steam summer sale comes when you least predict it. It can not be fortolled. It is without reason.

@Dagbiker: *Foretold

heh. Though, I agree. It is a sly dog indeed.

Still... tomorrow would be fantastic...

Crazy sale happening at amazon now, for those itching to fill your steam library. Got the square enix pack that has just cause 2 ,sup com 2, kane and lynch 2 and two tomb raider games for $7.49. Serves as a great appetizer to the steam summer sale.

Amazon

I'd like it to be the 5th ( today for me i guess) but it's most likely going to be the 12th. The codemasters thing was supposed to run until the 12th which would be followed by the summer sale, the cdr isnt active enough for the sale right now, and there was some indie dev that said it started the 12th and then quickly backpedaled saying that he wasn't sure. Seems like all signs point to 12...

Yeah, I'm sure it is; it's just so far away D:

I can't help but feel sick of this Steam sale already...and it hasn't even started yet...

They have a Total War pack that has basically all of the Total War games for $30. If I didn't already have most of them I would be jumping on that deal.

Cool. Good enough to hear that. I can wait a bit longer, especially how internet hearsay is the best I got. Suprisingly it's often better than nothing.....

advice for u guys that want to buy arma 2: co on the sale to play day z, make sure u have an awesome pc, cus that's crap takes alot of you cpu to run. I have a pretty good pc, can play everygame without lag, crysis 2, mass effect 3, all that. And when I try to play day z it gives me 10 - 15 fps, for a crappy graphical game like that -.- I was tired of waiting for the sale so i bought it a couple of days ago, think it's one of the things i regret the most in my life so far lol

Dear Santa Gabe,

Please by the time i wake tomorrow, grant me the pleasure of rolling over in bed and checking the steam app to find that the summer sale is going full steam (get it? hurr durr) ahead. Take my money, i beg you, show me the best deals you can muster and leave my bank account bone dry and my steam list filled to the brim with games i will never play.

Love, KonigKei.

P.S i want that pony game..

Won't happen til the 19th. Calling it right now.

Could be today? All of the Midweek Madness sales end today, and oddly later than usual (4PM PT rather than 10AM PT)

6 minutes until I get to figure out how many more knives I'll be helping Gabe add to his collection.

edit: well start to figure out anyway, the sale goes for a week or two? I forget how things went last year besides all those goofy achievements.
