Kind of tempted to get Dead Rising 3 at that price, but I fear Green Man Gaming might beat that price.
Also Dark Souls 2 is just over $30 right now, but probably best to wait until it's featured on the store page at a larger discount.
With other competitors like GMG, G2Play and GetGamesGo, Steam's recent sales have been very disappointing. It's only really good if you want the games IMMEDIATELY or if they are Ubisoft/Telltale games, since they do not allow other sellers to sell Steam keys for their games.

Always wait for a Daily / Flash sale on a game. If find something like Dark Souls 2 never goes lower, just buy it the last day of the sale. Why throw away money to have the game you've already been waiting on a few days later?
And yes, pretty meh sale thus far. Opinions on Divinity seem very divided. People either love it, or thing it's another Early Access pile of rubbish. The developer walkthrough on Twitch yesterday made the creation tools look lovely.. a lite-solid modeling program, even, but I'm not sure for that price. Speaking of Early Access, don't buy DayZ unless you really just have money to burn. It's a broken mess of a game, and you best have a few friends to play with at least if you want any enjoyment out of it.

This is true. I bought 2x $50 yesterday at EB. I live in Alberta, so it came to $110. That said, it's redeemed on Steam as USD. I'm not sure how much you're saving if you choose to use your credit card instead. I know when I bought SSFIV:AE last month, my credit card charged me in USD so I obviously had to pay a bit more - I believe 8% as the CAD was at $0.92.

Oh damn. should've stalked up before then. Well in that case I don't see why I should go out of my way to get the steam cards again.

Our terrible dollar is really making us suffer on a lot of stuff it seems.

maybe you might help me with this question. or someone else here. I am going to the States next week and i was wondering. if i bought Steam Cards there ( USA ) and put them on my account ( Canadian ) . can i be charged Tax ? or Conversion Rates ? or do i just get games for actual price that is listed on site. that's why i hate buying on steam cause of the conversion ( at least i am positive were not charged tax on our end, i hear it was just the state of washington that is charged taxes but no where in Canada **maybe except Quebec which i don't live in ** I just wanna be charged prices like PSN charges me the number that is mentioned and nothing more. )

Solid daily, especially considering the amount of DLC Borderlands 2 has. If you haven't given either a try, I highly recommend Outlast and The Wolf Among Us. Tomb Raider is also worth a look at $4.99.
Sleeping Dogs is $3.99 in flash. Metro: Last Light, Lone Survivor, Slender, and Betrayer are all reasonably priced in community's choice at the moment.
It would be doubly beneficial for you all to cruise the Steam Buy/Sell/Trade thread because a lot of the deals you are looking at people are selling at US sale prices which should be slightly less than what you all are seeing. Feasibly if the game is ROW then you shouldn't have an issue. Unless you all know something about Canadian region restrictions that I don't.

Thanks... Seems interesting, except it's a bit of extra work. And not all games have packs.

Hopefully not: Microsoft says it isn't shutting down GFWL:

If you want to play Diablo III, then buy Diablo III - but if you're short on cash, then you should get Torchlight II instead. It's just as good. Brothers is a really great game, but requires a gamepad/controller. Metro: Last Light is good, too, but isn't optimized well, so expect to have your GPU run hot.

As good a time as any to pick up GTAIV if you haven't played it before. Alan Wake collection is $5.99, aswell, in flash. Don't get Payday 2 unless you have buddies to play it with. Trasnsistor is a fantastic game well worth any asking price, IMO, but if you're looking to seriously save, then wait until the Fall/Winter sale. System Shock 2 is only a $1.49 in community choice.
