Steam Summer Sale!

Whoa! Stop!

Before you spend any money, make sure to wait for the big Steam summer sale! Last year it started the beginning of July, but rumor is that it will be starting at the end of July this year. You will be able to get publisher complete packs like that for dirt cheap, sometimes as much as 75% off!

Cheers I will save my money and wait for the Summer Sale, Thanks IdolNinja.

PS . Does the Summer Sale also include all of the Steam Library or is it just selected games.

There's no way to say for sure. The sales usually last 1-2 weeks, and a huge number of games and publisher packs are discounted. There are also a different set of daily specials each day that are even more discounted. The general rule is only to buy a game/pack if it goes even cheaper on the daily, then wait until the last day of the sale to buy everything else you want (that's discounted but wasn't a daily.)

So basically what you are saying buy the Game Packs when its is the Summer Sale then come back everyday to see if the games you want is on a daily offer in the Summer Sale period.

So say I want Deadrising 2:
Current Price is: £19.99
In Summer Sale: £4.99
If in Summer Sale + Daily Offer: £1.24-£3.74

So is that how it works?

That's almost got it. I would also say to wait on the big publisher packs. They can also go on daily special as well. Last year the Valve Complete Pack was something like $40.

Are there any really good games that you reccomend that go on sale. Does Just Cause go on sale? Also, does Skyrim?
 
Skyrim has been on sale back in December/January.

It will probably be on sale here soon.
 
Looks like a lot of the upcoming summer sale info got leaked so you can figure out just how much damage your poor wallet will take:

According to the Steam registry update, the SRTT Franchise Pack contains the base game plus all the dlc expect genki girls. It likely means that all SRTT dlc will also be on sale individually during the summer sale.

I've personally got my eye on Lone Survivor, Tropico 4, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, Skyrim, and Arkham City.
