Tips to Survive Major Steam Sales

Rule #1:
From now until the LAST DAY of the sale, if a game is on sale as a daily deal or flash deal, you can buy it. If it is only "on sale" through the entire sale, pass. Do not buy. Save your money (you may need it).

Rule #2:
Check each day for the daily deals, and monitor flash deals. As games come up that you want, you can get them. Just continue to exercise self control for games that are not a daily/flash deal.

Rule #3:
You can purchase the large packs, such as the THQ pack or Square-Enix/Eidos pack at any time if you wish. It is extremely unlikely that those bundles will be discounted any further, even though individual games in those packs may become daily deals. If you want a bundle, go for it. Lots of games, excellent price.

Rule #4:
On the LAST DAY of the sale, Steam traditionally makes its daily deals an encore of the most popular daily deals from the previous days. Go nuts. Buy everything you wanted. Other games are almost never on the daily deals during the last day, at this point, it is safe to buy anything else you've been waiting on.

Cheesenium, proof that I'm the only one who looks at first post; there are some broken links / code in your first post.

Could you point out please?

It seemed to be working fine for me.

If the games link are broken, i think sometimes it doesnt connect well to aussie store.

Rule #5

Extra URL on the Steam logo.

meanwhile on The Amazing Race, ALL TEAM GOES NECK TO NECK ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE RACE!!!!



WHO SHALL MERGE VICTORIOUS??

Thanks,

Something went wrong with the copy and pasta just now.

All fixed. Let me know if there are any other issues.

Thanks.

This is what the race should be in the first place, not rigging it and let certain team win each day.

Hhuhuh, second page...

These races looks like one of dem Mario Kart Races...in the end...who'll use the Blue Shell?

someone should start put this race on twitch and make live commentary on it

Still think it's kind of rigged tho.
Suddenly all same level of rich?
Or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Owh.. so fast :3

wa back to back quite equally match

Morning all!

Usually how many games will be in Encore Sale? And how long will it lasts?
I wonder if Rogue Legacy will have a chance to be in it.

crafting last summer badge got this...

to activate or to sell?

how many games - depends

how long - 24 hours

PURPLE PLEASE !!!!!

2nd page already? anyway 9 card is max we can get from voting right? I feel like I miss one vote.

Good Morning pipul

Dang, morning morning maybank block my account for too many transaction Sunday somemore

Ole Ole Ole!!

Just wake.., noo 3rd page adyy

just to add it to my steam library and to support the dev again
1st version is from GoG.

y u terbalik should be Steam version redeem on GOG..

why the summer card price keep increasing? feel like buying now. sked later price will jack higher.

last day, all want to use the card. and cards will gone after summer sale ended

previously PO from GoG instead of Steam as the purchase 100% will be direct to CDProjekt’s.

Did my part to help green today.

Was thinking of getting ME pack (1 and 2) for my Steam as well but on second thought, it will only benefit EA

Lucky me morning buy order at $0.18.

Maxis screws up big time by not implementing Pool Tool and Toddlers in The Sims 4, guess will wait for LGR to do his review and see how it goes.

I hope it doesn't come as a f*ckin DLC.

Inb4 why the hell am I tailing The Sims 4 anymore because it looks awesome that anyone can die for being extremely happy.

Now cannot ee who is leading?

bought 4 cards to craft coz I cant sell my 6 other cards due to hit 197 sales limit(200). Might as well craft the badge and trying my luck for rare item drop & I failed to get one lel.

The top 3 games that have been handed out are

x36 Dark Souls 2
x36 The Witcher 3 : Wild Hunt
x26 Wolfenstein : TNO

As I scrolled down I saw that someone won Xcom - Slingshot Pack. Oh the feel when he knew he won something

I did crafted something rare "Rubedo Played Galatine Skin", how to sell again after sales limit?

yay new thread

Switch off ubersampling and you should be able to play the game at the highest setting.

check here, still can see
http://store.steampowered.com/promotion/summer2014faq/

and race very intense now

wokie. and here i thought 780ti can easily handle any last year game well at extreme ultra.
thxs for the tips

How much did your Asus GTX780 TI cost?

have to fill in the IRS thing, it is on ur market page when u exceed 150 they start giving u@ ur market page.

The problem with me is summer card is probably gonna expire b4 they lift my sales limit. So instead of letting it go vanish, might as well craft & try my luck lol

Around 2680 iinm. from viewnet.
but got a lemon chip that can't oc well. very very lemon chip i mean
temp on WD or Witcher 2 gaming - 99% usage = around 77C.
kinda warm for me which i thought can be around 70C. manual fan here as well - 70C = 70% fan speed.
but its fking dead silent even at 77% fan speed.

^the warm gc cause by me sealing the front bay back to normal 5.25 in which previously i put a fan bracket, hence i think the decrease airflow from the front = increase the overall casing temp.

Hoho 2680 for one of those beast.. If not Asus how much ey?

zotac <2.5k or around 2.4k. depends on which reseller you go for.
msi not bad as well for its TF is good at cooling.
i wanted to get MSI, but xda bundle with WD at viewnet. so go for asus.

wonder what games will be on 2moro last encore sales

my up to date spending.



This post has been edited by DarkEmotion88: Jun 29 2014, 12:44 PM

Hmmm, new high end GPU price is increasing. I remember my MSI Geforce GTX580 cost about RM1.8k

Get the Artic Cooling Accelero for GPU, best cooler. Mine never went above 60c from memory and even at full speed it is silent.

Encore sales probably be a repeat of the popular titles of the earlier sales. I am looking forward for a bigger discount on Ikaruga, the top down shooter.

Nothing to say..

So encore sales will be tomorrow? I thought there will be 2 more days sales and then only encore

my bad, you are right. 4get we are in m'sia.
1st of july shall be the end of this nightmare and the beginning of another cold nightmare

Hahaha. I wonder why Amazon is so quiet. I think they are waiting steam to finish of the sales and pull the surprise?

I think the games bought on this sales is enough to keep most of you busy for few months

I am so failed..

You have spent approximately $1.93 USD in the store since the sale began.

LOL

Amazon got new rep but he kinda not active. Even the Amazon thread in CAG gone silent already, only those regulars talking stuff.

buy another 780TI and SLI setup 2 see how

btw, trying new getup for livestream, need some feedback
http://www.twitch.tv/memphiz88

Is it possible to check when the game is added into library, dunno how many games added into library during this sale

wait witcher 3 and 800 series to release 1st, then grab another cheapskate to sli

Previous was Tony right?

Amazon is great with the $5 coupon

not sure about date. but can check the activations at License page for reminder.

https://store.steampowered.com/account/

Anyone able to purchase TF2 keys from market?

Or is it buggy for you as well?

Keys at market shot up the price by $0.10.. Quite expensive already

still below $2.5 right? should be ok

http://www.greenmangaming.com/mac-games/

75% for civ 5, borderlands 2 and star wars.

Logically it wont be the same as store price or higher.

I need more friends come add me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/wingwp/

yeah, dunno why resigned. the new one kinda inactive. deswai less offer from Amazon except the Steam price match.

and just noticed the audio during livestream is not synced

Ya. Tony is so active around CAG and read people comments and propose many good offer!
