I think I have spent somewhere in the region of ten dollars. I got KOTOR and The Tale of an Item Shop. Sadly, those games have been put on hold because of Forsaken world and Crysis 2 (Yay, F2P and Amazon sale!!).

Until I get paid, it's sitting at a solid $5.00 for me.

Bioshock was a steal.

I've spent probably about £25. I also tried the Mann Co. store for the first time yesterday, mainly to get some extra hats.

I would have got the Valve complete pack but then I saw that you couldn't gift the spare games so I decided not to.

Dreamfall Double Pack, Assassins Creed Pack and Magicka Pack. Wishing I'd caught Just Cause 2 at a good discount, and hoping that I see Witcher 2 discounted by the end of things. Though TBH I've still not even installed about a third of my Steam library XD

Hehe - so far it's £1.50 for me XD Bought the original Half-Life for the multiplayer madness, may get something else if I don't already have it.

Somewhere around 12 bucks for the Half-Life bundle and Gary's mod. Probably still going to get a few more games.

I think I'm at a bit over $10.00 with Sniper: Ghost Wolf and Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis.

Another £18.50 on Day 5 after remaining abstinent for Day 4 o.o My running tally is now £65.50 on myself, £7.50 on a gift.

i was on steam last night and spotted a post with this address,
http://cdkeysdiscount.com/20_steam-keys not actually bought anything off there yet but some stuff is even cheaper than the sales
Hmmm....most of the prices aren't that great, but on some new releases they're pretty damned good. Witcher 2 is less than half what I originally paid, Dungeon Siege III and FEAR3 are also a very reasonable £15 after exchange rate.

However, the web site looks a little dodgy and I'm not sure I'd take the chance to see if it works. There's not only the risk of them being dodgy, but even if they aren't what if the game keys only work in the USA or some such? Hmmmm...just noticed they have Dark Messiah for $1.99...I'd spend that no problem to see if they're genuine or not. Now to find someone with a UK Steam account who doesn't already own it. Will work on it and report back. If it works I may just pick up FEAR3 for myself as well!

So I bought a Dark Messiah key, sure enough it arrived quickly and my friend activated it fine. It was worrying that it only had the multi player component but after a little head scratching I checked the site and sure enough it does in fact state in red that it's MP only. It's also now listed as out of stock so I must've picked up the last one.

So it seems legit. Oh and my gift tally is now up to £16 after I had to buy him Dark Messiah Single Player to make up for getting his hopes up when I told him I was giving it to him first time round!

All of the games that I really want are games that I would never get on PC because of terrible DRM, like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Sadly this means that when I do get them for console I'll end up paying almost twice as much for them than if I got them at this steam sale.
Brotherhood is a one time only internet activation on installation to play and I'm 99% sure that they replaced the previous constant connection on their other games with that, or just got rid of DRM on the ones with a constant connection.
Brotherhood is Ubisoft right? IIRC For those living in the UK Ubi has removed all of their 3rd party DRM from MOST of their steam titles. I might be worth seeing if the same is true for your country. Publishers seem to be backtracking on their stance with PC DRM which is a good thing. Capcom are still DRM nazis though. (IT should tell you on the store page if a game has 3rd party DRM or not)

I've done much better than in the past actually. I have spent $38 bucks so far, but will probably end up spending another $30 across the last few days. Luckily I get paid on wednesday so I can afford a few more cheap games. I am really only looking at games under $20, or stuff on my wishlist going 75% off, but i'm getting good games so I really don't care.
