Man, I do not see how some of you people get around to playing all these games... So far on this deal I have bought theoverlord 1 & 2, RE5, Lara Croft, and torchlight. Igave myself a $30 dollar limit for this whole sale. So far I believe I spent $23. So I prob have 1 maybe two more games I will get. Some of you are going over board tho.

Some of you guys r buying 4 or more games a day. Sheesh to me that is a waste of money. I could never get around to playing all those games. For today I am interested in red faction and tropico 3, but I am being realistic with myself and realizing I will never get around to those games. So why buy em? I think some of you are just buying simply to add to your collection lol.

Hell, I bought Just cause 2 and Batman for the thanksgiving sale. I am starting to forget the games I have lol. Time to look in the mirror and admit it. You are a steam sales addict. :o

F.E.A.R. Pack - $10

Super Meat Boy - $3.75

Mass Effect 1 and 2 - $20

Borderlands GOTY Edition - $25

Overlord Pack - $3

I'm trying to limit my sales to $100, but with 8 more days left I may end up going over my limit...

Im pretty sure some people only buy games during the Steam sale. Im certainly like that. I think about 85% of my Steam library was purchased at better than half price, and the rest is stuff I got at retail or gifts. If you spend $100 on the steam sales and get 40 games, thats20 times more than you would get if you bought games at full price (...ish) .

So I say buy away fellow PC gamers, and have enough games to last until the inevitable summer sales!

As for this christmas, Ive got myself Super Meat Boy, Overlord, and Im about to get myself Splinter Cell Double Agent. I still need to convince myself to buy Dragon Age. but I have a few more hours to decide.

I'm guilty of purchasing 16+ games. I know it'll take me a lifetime to play most if not all of these games but I wanted them. :P

I snagged the Square-Enix-Eidos pack, the Valve Pack, the Rockstar collection, the Oddbox, the Prince of Persia collection (including the 2008 game), The Witcher, and a couple other games. I now have 137 games on Steam... Now that I think back, I may have overdid it. :?

I bought the FEAR pack, Fallout: New Vegas, and the Tropico 3 Gold Edition.

Not much, really. Nothing catches my eye, and I'm already running out of possible games to buy, since I've bought so much during the sales last year and this year. There are few games left that I actually want to buy.

I missed the last few sales (think the summer one) and Black Friday one... so made sure to have a bunch of money stashed away for these xmas sales hehe, glad I did to because there was some great sales on variety of sites.

Super Meat Boy - $3.75 Bad Company 2 - $6.79 Mass Effect 2 - $9.99 The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom - $0.49 Total = $21.02 I think I've done pretty well so far. I am considering Batman AA for $7.50 but that is kind of expensive to me, I don't usually play those kind of games, but I hear great things...

I'm investing in my future, :P. 16+ easily... I bought a lot of packs though, like the TellTale Holiday Pack, Sherlock Holmes pack. Adventure games are fun! ;) The amount of games I purchased will cover my gaming needs for the next year easily, as well as make it fairly easy to skip new releases until they are on sale at the next Steam sales.

Only 1 so far. I'm exerting a little control over myself... I know if I go nuts I'll put all my money into those indie packs, but deep down I know I'll NEVER touch them. Those puzzle/platformer games don't do it for me. Full game or nothing :P

Other than that though, no sale has been *good* enough for me to jump on blindly.

I realized I shouldn't buy any new games that just came out cause there on sale cause i did that with just cause 2 and metro 2033 and have yet to play like 2 hours of each lol. Now its was only 7 bucks and i payed 25 for it this summer.. *sigh* curse you steam, curse you..

So far I've spent just barely $30 bucks on 4 games, which is just half the price of COD BlackOps and more than likely will keep me occupied for far longer than that game ever could. So I feel pretty damn good.

this is the first year i actually had the foresight to remember to save money for the Holiday Sale so I definitely splurged and am buying well over 20 games. I don't see myself buying nearly as many games during next years sales though since this sale is only so great because of the ammount of games I don't have but had saved money for months knowing that the holiday sale would be terrific. I've only spent around $60 so far.

so far almost all the games i bought are from the first couple days of sales. I've showed restraint these past few days not buying any huge expensive pack waiting to see what comes up in daily sales

Nothing this year. I haven't really come across anything that I want or I don't already have. Not a good year for me, but I still have a bunch of games to finish.

Only, like 4 so far. I've had to scale back since I spent quite a bit during Turkey day. It's only the super around 5 buck deals that I know for sure I'll play now. Got some good ones though: BFBC2, Borderlands, Burnout Paradise.

Damn right I'm a Steam sales addict! :lol:

Most of the games I bought were gifts for my friends though. Still, I also snagged nearly a dozen titles for myself:

  • Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded (a.k.a. Alien Shooter: Vengeance)
  • Battlefield Bad Company 2
  • Blade Kitten
  • Ceville
  • Clive Barker's Jericho
  • Darksiders
  • Ghost Master
  • The Path
  • Puzzle Bots
  • Sid Meier's Pirates!
  • Star Wars Republic Commando
  • Super Meat Boy

Grand total: $52.30 :shock:

I'd say it's been a good holiday season. :D

There is no limit for me. As long as there will be great deals, and it's the game I want or have considered buying in the past, I will buy it if the price is right.

*nods guiltily*

err... :?

I broke into the highest category on that poll on day 1 if you count the games in indie bundles :)

Now just hoping my ISP doesn't complain about the unusually heavy amount of downloads the last few days - wasn't banking on FEAR being 17GB and FEAR 2 another 13+

I do just about all of my game purchases during Christmas on Steam.

This year I have purchased so far:

Assassin's Creed II

Bioshock II

Fallout 3 GOTY

Just Cause2

Lara Croft and the GOL

Mass Effect 2

Risen

All3 STALKER Games. The STALKER Complete 2009 mod is a must for STALKER SoC

Sniper Elite

I still have to play The Witcher: Enhanced Edition from last Christmas.

Spent a little over$100.00. Pretty cheap for gaming for a year.

At this point it is zero because I forgot Monday was the start of the holiday sales since I was still studying for a final exam. I can actually control my spending very well because I only buy games I genuinely want, not because the are cheap.

I've only gotten Mass Effect 1&2, I was going to get the Witcher, but I didn't realize that the sales ended mid-day, so I missed it. But hopefully there will be more that I would want.
