    Still hoping for some good deals despite a slow start.

    Edit: GOG.com has FTL cheaper when featured on rotating flash sale at $2.99.

    And it's been $2.49 on Steam before...

    So far I haven't managed to buy anything so far. I've made $5.20 in trading card sales though - figure I'll get Fallout New Vegas GOTY if/when it goes 75% off (I just finished Fallout 3 last week, yeah I'm a tad behind... ;))

    It's a great game... I preordered it on Steam before it came out!

    Already spent about $40 on Steam today... This is going to be a long and expensive a nine days!

    Just wait for the dailies or flash sales...

    Also trying to decide whether I should pick up Talisman on iOS or Steam, and the same dilemma for Space Hulk on iOS or Steam...

    Man my wishlist is way too long.

    A couple of suggestions...

    One Way Heroics is a damn-nifty RPG/rogue-like-lite which is currently $0.87 with trading cards.

    and...

    Defy Gravity is currently $0.29 and will give you 3 trading cards that will sell for about that, you should make a penny or two. ;)

    Have made about $7 now in trading cards right before the sale, need to get Fallout New Vegas complete, but am about to dump it on Pac-Man Championship Edition DX+ for instant gratification. :D F:NV goes on 75% off sale so often anyways...

    What is this trading card you are talking about? Is it a game?

    As a petty enticement Steam offers digital picture "trading cards" as unlockable achievements. Some collect them but there is also a surreal micro-economy where trading cards are bartered or sold for Steam monies to other users. Many but not all games off trading cards as a feature in Steam. You can also combine cards to "craft" "rare" ones sometimes producing a coupon code or other perk (for example emoticons are unlockable for Steam chat).

    It's a group of four games that goes on sale in 8 hour cycles. So there're three groups of flash sales for every one group of daily deals. The changeovers are 1:00 pm EST (US Time), 9:00 pm EST and 5:00 am EST.

    32 games later and I've actually made more from the cards than I've spent, good sale for me!

    Edit: oh and I second the recommendation for One Way Heroics. Fantastic roguelike for a few pence with cards that pay for itself

    They're basically useless, like the badges that you can get from them, yet I'm inexplicably addicted :confused:

    32 games and it's 18 hours into the sale? Do tell us. Maybe I'm being too conservative or overlooking some gems.
