Was going to post this as well, these sales are good and bad at the same time. Do I really need to buy more games?

Yes. You can never have to many options.

I'm not sure if I've spent more money or less on games because of Steam. Probably more.

Disagree - the game is fantastic and with the Vietnam DLC coming out for only $14.99 (and getting fantastic reviews) this is an awesome bargain!

Here's a tip to help overcome the inevitable slow DL speed due to volume.
- Go to the "Steam" menu (top left) and select "Settings"
- Go to the "Downloads+Cloud" tab
- For "Download region" select something that's NOT in the US. Try one you think won't have as much traffic, e.g. Indonesia
- Steam will have to restart
- Watch your game download WAY faster

The amount of people BC2 online increased by a massive amount cause of the sale. This sale has more than revived any players lost over time since the release and to Black Ops. If your a veteran of this game there's a lot of noobs out there to frag.

I think you have a different definition of depreciated than I do. Depreciation refers to the price. Low price is for a good game is what makes it good value.

Lots of other noobs is also good if you're a noob.

Yep - I thought you meant the value of the game was equal to the price. My apologies.

Anyone know if that Aliens vs Predators game is any good? Mind you, for the prices they are selling some of these games at, it's worth the risk just to buy a bunch and hope one pans out.

It's average. If you're a fan of the series buying it for $5-$10 isnt that bad but it's not worth full price.
