So far what have you gotten?
I picked up Darksiders II for $10, Faster Than Light for $3.50, and Solar 2 for $1.50 or so. Me personally, I'm looking for super cheap games and tend to vote that was also on the community voting sales. There are still 4 days left, I'm hoping to catch Volgarr the Viking on flash sale.

I've been slaughtered by it. I've managed to get Hotline Miami, Killing Floor, Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, 5 Counter Strike games, Rogue Legacy, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Trails Evolution Gold Edition and Contagion without breaking £30, which is nice.

I have not taken advantage of it, due to a still existing phobia of PC games.
However, I did buy Starbound yesterday. It wasn't on sale, but it's a very awesome RPG thus far, even though it's only in Beta.

Let's see.... so far I have picked up; Long Live The Queen, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Pool Nation, Steam Marines, Sanctum 2 Season Pass, Call of Juarez Gunslinger, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Tower Wars, NBA 2K13, Devil May Cry (the new one), Trials Evolution Gold, Saints Row IV, Kingdoms Rise, Shelter, Shadowrun Returns, Eldritch, Surgeon Simulator, La-Mulana, Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gold and Brave New World. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut, SpeedRunners and a Metal Gear Rising pre-order. Managed to pick up Lego Marvel, Castlevania: LoS Ultimate and Injustice in other site sales. Got Resident Evil 6 and Shadow Warrior as gifts from friends. All in all I did pretty damn well and the sales aren't even over yet. However, I did buy Starbound yesterday. It wasn't on sale, but it's a very awesome RPG thus far, even though it's only in Beta. Don't get too invested, there's a character/world wipe coming soon, though they claim it'll be the last one they ever need do again. Just figuring out the game in the mean time is worth doing though.

Thanks for the tip, did they happen to say when it would be? Just sometime in 2014, I'm sure.

Morrowind GOTY Skyrim Legendary Garrys Mod Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum
There's loads on my wishlist, but just plonked down £430 on a new computer and am now saving up for a decent graphics card (using an ancient 8400 gs I found in an old computer) and despite seeing so much I want to splurge on, saving up for a graphics card to play them with is more important (plus I have 50+ unplayed games from various sales on my Xbox 360 hard drive)

The only thing I got from the sale so far is the free copy of L4D2. Saving all my money for something that's not on sale.

By the way, a question for PC gamers. I have Bioshock Infinite and was wondering if the Season Pass is worth it?
So help me out people please!

I sat by helplessly as my broke ass was unable to buy anything.
I did stare longingly at it though.

Just a quick PSA. Do not buy The Dead Linger because it is a bad, unfinished game. If you want a zombie game then get State of Decay which is legit awesome and runs far better on the PC than the 360.

Only games I got so far are The Stanley Parable for $8, Left 4 Dead 2 for free, Spec Ops: The Line for $7 (though I haven't installed it yet) and World of Goo for $1. Only other games i'm holding out for are XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Walking Dead season 2. Though I can probably wait till Summer sale before picking those up for cheap.

Remember Me Alice Madness Returns Beatbuddy Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing The King of Fighters XIII Blade Symphony Bioshock Infinite Season Pass (was a pricing error and got it for like 3 bucks) How do I make this Bioshock pass happen?! You can't at this point. When the sales start each day (1pm EST), sometimes there are pricing errors and you have to jump on them immediately. Every year there's a few. This year they seem to have caught most of them, but the ones I've noticed were the Infinite Season Pass (was like 90% off) and when Don't Starve went on Daily Deal last week it was 92% off (1.09) for about 10 minutes. I already had Dont Starve though. During the Autumn sale, I got Dishonored GOTY for 3 something as well. Easiest way to get these is be on there each day when the day's sales are posted and buy immediately. Don't stop and think. Don't wonder. Just get through the checkout. They wont charge you more if the price changes, but they change quickly if the price is marked down too much. And if anyone think Im BSing, just google "steam price error winter sale" or something like that. It happens to a few titles every major sale.

Could someone please explain to me what Steam is? I've read about it, but I don't really get it. Is it a program I use to run games? Is it free? Can I run it on a normal (Windows) computer? What else should I know? I bought a game, but I don't really know what to do with it.
