Steam sales budget

VIPER258 · 11 Jul 2013 at 23:58

I don't really spend on games I don't play but I have £70 in my steam wallet just in case.

heavy load on steam - taking ages to get through to store page

Jackaby · 12 Jul 2013 at 00:16

Already got all the games I want as I tend to pre-order...

Have yet to be raped by a Steam sale!

robin66 · 12 Jul 2013 at 16:13

Well, a total spend of just £2.96 so far so looking good.

I'm sure I'll still go over budget thou.

as others have said no need to budget just don't go crazy if I see a game like a fps I have been thinking about buying if its only a few pound its a buy anymore its a no.
I have been liking the look of deadpool but we wont see that down that low yet

tbh im same as puppetmaster

IRLeetly · 12 Jul 2013 at 21:14

Got about £20 stashed away in paypal in case something awesome comes up, not spent anything yet.

Jasseh · 12 Jul 2013 at 21:26

My budget: £0.00

Spent so far: £36.94

I think I'm going to have to stop looking at the sale...

In all seriousness I do on occasion wonder whether I would be better off just paying full price for games I really want rather than stocking up on 'bargains' the majority of which I'll never play.
So in other words if I spend say £300/year on games maybe I'd be better off buying 12 games for £25 each than 60 games for a fiver each.
It's an issue not just related to games, I seem to be more concerned with getting good value and maybe missing out on something that would make me really happy.
On the plus side I never run out of money, but it means I sample less of the high life compared to people who are living it large and just buying everything they want rather than something almost as good for a lot less cash.

No budget, just buy what I fancy

Xordium · 13 Jul 2013 at 00:11

Nothing this time still not finished the last lot and GTA5 and Rome 2 are on the horizon coming in fast.

jamiehavok · 13 Jul 2013 at 00:30

got the walking dead for a fiver, glad i did, great game.

robin66 · 13 Jul 2013 at 01:29

Spent about £8 so far.

Lots of games are calling to me with there great discounts, I must resist.

elmarko · 13 Jul 2013 at 09:11

No games out I want actually, but had it come a few weeks earlier I'd have saved some £££'s.

Can't believe X-Com was 75% off!, some great deals (on games I paid full price for!)

Rome 2, Star Citizen, X4 (soonish) are the only things I'm waiting for tbh.

XCOM got discounted really quickly, I got it for free with a Bioshock Infinite preorder and it's been in a few other sales.

peterwalkley · 13 Jul 2013 at 09:24

No budget, but a maximum of 3 games so I don't get a disk full of stuff I've never played.

Didn't notice as I pre-ordered!.

But some great games at real discounts, just a shame I've got em all already! (owch, 160+ steam games).

Diplexbullet19 · 13 Jul 2013 at 09:36

If its a bargain i'll buy it, Id buy defiance if I didn't already own it as that is a real bargain!

Wildgoose123 · 13 Jul 2013 at 13:02

i've got so many games still to play... but i can't stop myself. Feels almost like the south park episode 'Something Wall-Mart This Way Comes'... can't resist the bargains.

PlatinumLiam · 13 Jul 2013 at 13:54

Not got a budget and don't think I will get anything
