Yeah. Steam's holiday deals was pretty much the determining factor for me to get into PC gaming again. I almost bought the Eidos bundle ($200+ value for $50), but at the time I wasn't sure if I was getting a new laptop or not. By the time I confirmed I was getting it, the sale was over.

That pretty much describes my entire consumer philosophy. I don't have a lot of time for gaming, maybe 10-15 hours per week. So I usually wait and look for older game deals, unless I am excited for a new release.
