On The First Day of Christmas, My Dear Steam Gave to Me: One Incredible Holiday Sale

Not even a month removed from its penny-pincher friendly, yet – for us – utterly bank-breaking Thanksgiving sale, Steam’s back with more holiday deals than you can shake a stocking, jingle bell, or other holiday themed shakable object at.
As with last month’s sale, Valve’s elected to rotate in new deals each day until January 3, in addition to continuous discounts on nearly every game in its colossal catalog. So, what’s under the tree today? Well, in the “this would be a pretty decent deal under any other circumstance, but Mirror’s Edge is going for $4.99, GTA IV’s at $7.49, and STALKER’s at $1.99” category is Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising at $19.99. There are some other nice deals in there too, but for some reason, that one really stood out to us.
Now then, make with the buying. Not since the olde times when can-kicking was nearly an Olympic Sport could you purchase hours upon hours of cutting-edge entertainment for the price of a can of cola. Go live the consumerist dream.

For the price that these games are selling on Steam, you don't even have to like them to buy them. Too good of a deal. Purchased Mirror Edge and another game (mind went totally blank just now) for the price of a McDonald's Value Meal. Literally.

Is it possible there are people out there who still don't like Steam?!? I just bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Far Cry 2 for $11.98! Can't wait to see what they have for tomorrow. I know what I'm doing all weekend!

I find steam to be very buggy. And if you ever have to reinstall it you need to back up all of your saved files for any games you have installed. If not you will lose them when you uninstall steam. It will not give you any warning about saved games either, it just automatically gets rid of them. I'm still hesitant to put the future of my game purchases in steams hands. I've already had times when I wanted to play a game but could not because the steam service was down.

Wow, just wow. Valve, will you have my babies? Is that possible? All I really ever learned in health was not to tell my parents anything that went on during the class. Maybe I should tell someone... Hmmm.....whatever. I just nabbed so many games, assasins creed $10, audiosurf $2.50, Stalker: Shadows of cherynobyl $2.00.

Heh, I'm pissed because I bought GTAIV for 30 bucks last night to find it at 7.49 today. :(

Don't buy anything from Steam in December unless it's the famous holiday sale.

The usefulness of your advice is unfortunately trumped by it's tardiness.
