The moment most of us have been waiting for has finally arrived! Steam Summer Sale has begun! June 19th-30th, Steam will be selling video games at outrageously low prices. This even includes pre-order games like Dead Rising 3 for 25% off.
Every 24 hours Steam releases a new group of nine games for sale. If you find a game you like you better buy it because its going to be gone after that 24 hour timer is up.
Steam also does Flash Sales that last for eight hours. However this is only four games at a time but generally a much better sale. Steam also allows you to vote on the next batch of games for the next Flash sale. This also helps you to decide if you want to wait to buy a game from the current Flash Sale or wait for the next one. Voting on Flash Sales also helps you get trading cards which can be crafted into badges. The badges can increase your Steam profile level. (if that really matters to you) and also help you to win free games.
Steam is also doing a new team contest this year. By clicking on the Summer Adventure map image you will be able to get added to a team. If your team wins you will be able to get games for free from your wishlist. This is something that I look forward too. It also encourages the use of badges and trading cards.
Just a warning if you are new to Steam and their Summer Sale, I would suggest setting a budget before you end up spending $50 on games that your never going to play and $10 on only one game that you will play.
If nothing in this sale peaks your interest don't worry, because Steam will do another sale around Christmas.
