Steam Summer Sale
Anyone heard when it's going to be this year? (besides summer! )
Read an article or two that mentioned it might actually start later today to coincide with a trading cards feature that Steam are launching, although it was just guesswork.
Anbody got anything more concrete or heard differently? My wallet is ready!

But others say there won't be a sale starting while so many new games are being released, so when there is a 2 week gap, that is when the sale will be.
No offense but all I've heard is speculation for the last six weeks
I hope you are right though!
I read about it somewhere last week, something to do with some trading thing ending this week.
Cant find the link, sorry.
Edit: here are some speculation http://www.google.co.uk/#q=steam+summer+sale&source=lnt&tbs=qdr:w&sa=X&ei=SP7OUabaJOS74ATX9IEY&ved=0CBoQpwUoAw&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48572450,d.bGE&fp=5526d1c6ecf1fa63&biw=1600&bih=740 over the last week
Yep... July 12th until the 22nd apparently! :eek:
They've only just released a new trading card game system. It is essentially rubbish, but apparantly if you collect whole decks you can get further discounts, so they'll let people get a few of those so they get more sales at the sale I guess. They are earned through playing the games, and are tradeable.
If you craft a badge you get a coupon for a discounted game.
Can the coupon be used on any game or are they coupons for specific games or series of games etc?
It isn't a guaranteed coupon. It might be a discount, it might be DLC, it might be something else.
I can't see that the discounts are going to be that much, or worth the hassle in getting the cards in the first place.
Hmm yes so it seems, i've crafted 2 badges so far and got 2 coupons. I got 66% on Awesomenauts and 25% on God Mode, i don't think I have seen a 75% yet.
I think there are coupons for any game, but they are very rare.
I'd imagine there trying to gain sales before Steam get them. Personally I like Steam as all the games are right there, when I want them.
I just buy stuff in the GMG sale and activate it on Steam... sorted!
Thanks for the GMG info, didn't know they had a sale on. Just bought the Arkham Asylum/Arkham City double pack. With £2 GMG credit thrown into the deal, making it effectively £5.49 I'm well happy with that.
Cheers. Time to get earning and crafting.
