You would think, for all the hype, that the sumer sales would trump all.
My first steam summer sales, so maybe i was expecting too much. There was a 20+ page thread about it so was kind of pumped for it.
Just be patient. Strategy is, don't buy anything unless its on a Daily/Flash Deal as that is as low as it will go. Then on the last day sweep up anything you have on your "wish list" that didn't appear as a daily.
