Hey everyone, I thought I'd start making a list of sales for digital distribution platforms. Included platforms are Gamersgate, Steam, Impulse, and Amazon.com (added later). These lists are posts on my blog, and I figured I'd post them here for all to see. I plan on doing this for weekend sales primarily, but I will also include special holiday sales. Please let me know about any game sale that you think should be added to the list, sites that you want added, or errors that have been made. All prices are in USD. I'll try to post what I can on Friday mornings and update the post on Saturday with sales I've missed. So, here's today's list of sales for the July 13th weekend: http://lpshowboat0099.blogspot.com/2012/07/showboat-sales-hunt-july-13th-weekend.html Steam Summer Sale is on! The other sites have sales on Paradox and Rockstar games. Now, on with the sales!

Unless it's a game I absolutely must have at launch, I will wait however long it takes for the price to drop to less than $15, preferably under $10. I bought 7 games in the past 2 days for $59.23, just less than the cost of one new release game.
Thanks for following! Goal for future posts: Direct links to the store pages. Also on sale through GameFly this weekend is Tropico 4 for $9.99 and Assassin's Creed Revelations for $24.99, added to the list. However, GameFly doesn't actually have a nice list of sales to go through, and their store page doesn't even say if something is discounted, so I have to wait to post GameFly until PC Gamer releases their sales list before I can add it.
