There's a simple solution here - buy games as gifts instead. You buy it, and it just sits in your Steam library for a year, while you scroll down the list and go "eh, not today." Before long, you've got a massive backlog. So a game goes on massive sale, and you're not sure if you are interested in it or not. You can import your Steam wishlist, set price and store alerts, and manage the whole shebang from a very slick web interface. **Comparison shopping doesn't have to be painful - Redditor Moter8 points out a very useful site called IsThereAnyDeal. You're saving money and getting the exact same product! To coincide with Steam Autumn Sale 2013, Amazon is running a "Black Friday Digital Games Sale".Īmazon even tends to offer Steam game codes when you buy from them - just check the page before you buy, and if you see "Steam DRM" there, you're actually buying a key to redeem on Steam. It pays to check in with the other retailers before you pull the trigger. Sometimes Amazon's offering a bundle or a "complete" edition for cheaper than Steam is offering the base game. Usually during the Steam Sales, other companies will get in on the discounts as well, and sometimes they undersell Steam.įor instance, Amazon has been running massive sales to coincide with Steam Sales recently. Another Steam Sale is just a few months away, after all.
STEAM SALE BLACK FRIDAY FULL
Of course, if you're already full to bursting with new games, perhaps it would be a good time to check and see if you really need it at a "normal" sale price. If it's the last day, and there aren't any more daily deals or flash sales, now's your chance to pick up games that are just on a "normal" sale. It pays to check in every so often, but don't stress if you miss a "flash" sale - chances are it will be around again later on. These sales tend to repeat, and sometimes there is a "best of" these flash sales as well. That way you're encouraged to check in with the sale periodically throughout the day. Recent Steam Sales have even offered shorter time period deals, usually a few games for a few hours at a time. The Steam Sale rolls over every day at 10 AM Pacific time, and each time it does new items go even further on sale. So, don't rush out to buy a game the first day of a sale if it's not one of the games that has a "special" discount for only a few hours or a single day.
Only buy "deal of the day/afternoon/hour" games, until the last day of the sale. Nothing sucks worse than paying for a game during a Steam sale, only to see it drop in price the next day. I'm putting these together just before the Steam Summer Sale 2013, these rules apply to pretty much every massive Steam sale, ever. Although good deals abound, following a few simple rules can keep you from major regret down the line. I love these, personally, since I can gorge myself on video games and store them up like a squirrel hoards nuts for winter. These Steam Sales usually come around in the summer (ie, mid-July) and a couple times in the winter (ie, Black Friday and Christmas). Periodically, Steam runs ginormous sales of practically every game they sell.
