    Games will be on sale up to 75% off with even relatively new games being 50% off but the kicker is each sale only lasts for 8 hours and you have to keep checking in to see when a game you want goes on sale. Right now I'm thinking about picking up Endless Space (a 4X space game where you fight space battles and build an empire) for just ~$12 with all the DLC included.

    I know you Star Trek nerds love space battle games. :twocents:

    Playstation Network is having a pretty good sale too. I just got LEGO Batman 2 DC Superheroes for $5, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II for $7.50, and the entire Prince of Persia HD Trilogy for $8.

    Playstation Plus is getting into Steam territory!!

    I picked up GTA IV when it was on a flash sale. Elwood might like the Liberty City, First Responder modification for it where you're a cop and go on calls.

    Also picked up Just Cause 2 and it's DLC as the whole thing was like 4 bucks. Then I purchased Anno 2070 for a buddy's birthday present.

    Kind of regret not picking up Tropico 4 when it went on a daily sale, but I'll be able to purchase it again during the last day encore. Probably not if I hop off the fence with Civ V.

    I almost bought Just Cause 2, but I have enough games to play, and I don't know if I want another fuck-around simulator.

    Just can't pull the trigger on a ton of them. Thinking of getting the last 3 Bit.Trip games I don't own yet for 5 bucks apiece and I almost went in for 5 dollar Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

    I do love all the cards they've added though. So many games that I already owned have been getting the Steam trading cards treatment and it's been cool.

    I got Just Cause 2 for free on Playstation Plus last year. I also got Saints Row III, Sleeping Dogs, Warhammer 40,000, Uncharted 3 and a dozen more on Playstation Plus just for being a member.

    I'm starting to think PS+ is an even better value.

    I bought Civ 5 last time steam had a sale on it. And it take the damn game 5 - 10 minutes load every time. The fucking online cloud save shit has turned me off to the game. I've played it maybe 3 times since I bought it because of that.

    I ended up buying:

    Bit Trip: Core, Void, and Fate
    Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution plus all DLC

    I was also gifted terraria which is pretty cool.

    Speaking of gifting, does anyone want a code for Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery or Indie Game: The Movie? I have an extra of each and have no idea who to give them to.
