The sale went live today and features 4 different types of sales.
The first are daily sales. These will change day by day from July 12-July 22 so make sure you check in to see if that game you have been wanting goes on sale.
- Indie Bundle 1(Lone Survivor, Cave Story+, Anomaly: Warzone Earth, Edge, The Baconing) – $9.99 [75% off]
- Crusader Kings II – $9.99 [75% off]
- Ridge Racer Unbounded – $24.99 [50% off]

- Terraria – $2.49 [75% off]
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – $29.99 [50% off]
- Might & Magic Heroes VI – $24.99 [50% off]
- Legend of Grimrock – $5.99 [50% off]
- Portal 2 – $4.99 [75% off]
The second are voter sales! This means that you can actually vote on whcih sale you want and every 8 hours the sale with the most votes will be available. This is one of the msot innovative selling ideas I have come across in a long time. Kinda takes the guess work out of mark downs.
The third are amazon-like “Flash Sales” that are only available for a short period of time.
The last are your standard 10 day long summer sale sales. These include games and bundles for as low as 75% off. This is a great time for gaming and I hope you all are finally able to snatch up all of the games you may have wanted but couldn’t afford. If you guys want us to get a certain game to play with you let us know!
One of the coolest things about this sale are the new steam badges. Everyone loves achievements right? And who doesn’t want a badge for buying a discounted game? I was awarded the level 7 Years of Service Badge. Man that’s a long time!

If your interested in a particular game, and its on a “normal” sale, I’d advise waiting until the very last day of the sale to purchase, just in case it does pop-up as one of those special “sales” or the flash sales.
