Assuming it begins on Monday after the Dawn of War sale ends, I'll most likely be out of town when it starts, so I gave my mother the URL for the main site and a few things I'm hoping will drop to -75%:

-Prototype (not normally into sandbox and particularly not 'being a dick sandbox', but Alex's brand of parkour looks fun)
-Hard Reset (since Painkiller doesn't work properly, might as well play a game that does work by the same guys)
-Rayman Origins (played the demo and it looks pretty sweet, and plays pretty sweet too)
-Thief 2: The Metal Age (not normally into stealth but I've heard a lot of good things about this one)
-The two Ys games (I just love action-RPGs, but not Western story design so much...)

If any of those drop (specifically to -75%) between the 2nd and the 5th, I'll have someone ready for them - and I'll be ready to catch them myself once I get back. (Some of them might not reach that low, but I can hope for it...)

I'll be getting ARMAII combined operations so I can finally try out DayZ.

Also, the Civ V Gods and Kings expansion. Been salivating over that for a while now.

Apart from those, most likely a game or two from my wishlist. It'll be a good summer.

This seems appropriate:
Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas: Ultimate Edition for sure, and then whatever Steam uses to pique my interest.

I went out last night and lost my card in a club. Steam sale starts within the next 2 days most likely. Replacement card will not arrive for 14 working days.

go to gamestop and use cash to buy steam cards.

EDIT: OT, Nuclear Dawn, part FPS part RTS, sounds badass, one person on each team is the general that commands from the RTS perspective. the rest are FPS people.

Definitely Arma 2 Combined Operations, and the Binding of Isaac dlc (I know its only 3 bucks I'm being cheap :p).

Can't you get a temporary replacement card? That's what happened to me, but I got a temporary card that stops working after 2 weeks while I waited for my final one.

Pff, there won't be a Steam Summer Sale this year. If they did it would be the 3rd one. ;)

OT: No idea what I'd buy if the sale started honestly. It would probably being something at the spur of the moment.

I'm afraid I'm of the ruggedly handsome and British persuasion. No Gamestops or Steam cards in the Isles of Britannia.

Bank didn't mention anything when I called.

Now that I look at Steam's list of payment methods though, there seems to be a direct banking thing which needs no card.

Hallelujah!

It doesnt matter when its coming, we all know that no matter what most of us here will be fairly less rich than before the summer.

What I really want... hmmmm...

If they're on sale, I'm going for Dead Rising 2, Dead Island, Red Orchestra 2, and Fallout 3: GOTY (I already have the disk for the vanilla game, but I want it on steam :l)

Or any of the Call of Duty's, WaW and up. But fat fucking chance those ever go on sale.

Hoping for at least 33% of Max Payne 3 and something on Arma II, I own Ara II but I can't justify dropping $20 to buy the expansion just for Dayz.

The Amazon Summer Sale has Max Payne 3 for 50% off, I believe it Steam Activatable as well.

I have $200 reserved for the Steam sale. $200 is by far nothing in terms of money but I figure with such great sales it will go very far. For now I only have two games I know for certain that I wish to purchase. Total War: Fall of the Samurai and ARMA II: Combined Operations. Any other purchases will be done mattering what goes on sale and if it attracts me.
Two HUNDRED dollars? :O

Dude, I budgeted $75 last year and got like 15+ games. Are you looking to build an entire library in one full swing?

OT: I have no idea what I want to buy, all I know is that I'll probably end up buying too many...

Thanks for the head's up, it looks like they have both a steam required on and a non steam one, I hope they have the steam one up for sale.

This'll be the first Steam sale that I might participate in. Still, I have no idea what games I would want. It seems that at the moment I have all I want from Steam. Maybe if Defcon gets a good discount, I'll pick it up, but there is nothing else I can think of.
