:lol:

I was broke like the first three days of the sale, so I passed on everything. Now, since I've had cash to spend, there hasn't been anything I've wanted, or I already own stuff on sale.

I'm really hoping Rocket Knight gets a daily deal at $4.99. I know it's down to $7.50, but I still think that's a little too much considering the game's moderately short. Also hoping for a daily deal on Trackmania.

EDIT

Updated with one of todays deals. I went ahead and bought Freedom force for $1.87.

Yeah, I admit, I want Rocket Knight, but, based on what I've read, the game clocks in around 3 or so hours. Steam has spoiled me just enough that I can't spend $8 on a short-but-fun game.

Sorry to go off-topic, Dr. B.
 
I was tempted to buy many games, but luckily I already owned them or somehow managed to avoid buying them. There are still games I'm hoping will go on sale, so we'll see if Steam manages to wrench money from my hands.

Picked up:

Gothic Bundle: $3
Borderlands (from 4-pack): $8

Total: ~$11 or ~$4 per game.
 
Compared to last year's holiday sale, I can't say I've spent all that much.

Borderlands: The Secret Armory - $3.40
Deus Ex Collection - $5.00

Total: $23.70
Average: $5.90

No purchases for me for the final 2 days of the sale, but definitely a nice haul. On the very first day of the sale, I went down my wishlist and bought every single game that was at a low enough price to meet my standards, and happily I can report that not a single one of those games went lower on a daily! (pats self on back) And it also got me The Witcher at the better price (double pat).

+1 to me for having both the highest number of games purchased AND the lowest per-game cost of anyone in this thread!! :D EDIT: wait, I just noticed SEH edged me by 2 cents. but I bought 24.3x as many games and still got that price! LOL
 
It would take me a lifetime to play all those game. I talked myself out of everything except the Tales of Monkey Island pack. What a steal.
