    I bought a-10 at half price.

    Nothing else really interesting for me so far. Portal 2 was a good buy.

    Not sure about pants - the Warner Brothers pack was awesome value I think. You never know, there may be one day that you just want to buy everything!! That's the thing with the Steam sale, one day there's nothing of interest and the next day makes your wallet weep!

    You needed to work that into your sentence somehow... :p

    Well, I've been buying more than I planned to already. You have to remember it's not just the daily deals. There are a lot of good deals lurking in the bowels of the great Steam engine.

    I can see the WB pack is no more. Never got to see what it was in EUR but I bet it wasn't nearly as awesome value as in GBP.

    Haven't bought anything yet.

    Replayed lara croft & the guardian of light, forgot what a good little arcade game it is and I feel like replaying mass effect 2 after seeing it in the sale.

    If there's a bargain i'll get it but I still prefer retail for some reason.

    There are some things that I considered buying but didn't... mass effect 2... portal 2.

    Last month I bought the entire GTA collection at 4.99.

    That kind of bargain stands out. Not impressed with the christmas ones so far.

    I bought DCS A-10 because it's one of the few detailed PC flight sims remaining. Works well with my X52 Pro.

    I've only bought Just Cause 2 so far this sale. Nothing else from the daily deals has really grabbed me.

    I was very tempted by just cause 2 but couldn't decide.

    Train sim was a bargain I bought last christmas.

    Dirt 3 not enough of a bargain for me at half price.

    Wanted to see serious sam 3 for 5 pounds.

    Considered Duke Nukem forever but the game is so awful... I can't even justify the 3.74 it was at previously.

    Limbo is a great game I bought in a previous sale.

    Give it time too - still a good few days left and maybe something will float your boat!
