While forum members are always nice enough to let others know when some store (usually digital) or other has sales, I thought it would be easier if we had a dedicated thread for it.
I'll start with the sales on GetGames for Leap Day. For 24 hours you can get a number of popular games at 60-75% discount.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is 70% off, as is the only available DLC to date, The Missing Link. Bundled, they cost 19.50€. I am not familiar with GetGames regional pricing policy, but if as per usual they assume a 1:1 conversion rate, that's 20$ as well.
Dungeon Siege III is 75% off, also along with its DLC, total cost 12.50€.
Bear in mind, these are digital downloads, and as both games use Steamworks, they just send you Steam activation codes.
I have never used GetGames before, but I bought both of the above bundles for 32€. They send me the email with the activation codes immediately, and they worked flawlessly. Steam is downloading Deus Ex: HR as I write this (9GB
, it will take 3-4 hours even with my fairly speedy connection).

Remember that some sites also offers anyone who links to them a small bonus (I know that Gamer's gate does at least. They require you to add a small tag at the end of the link for this to work)
For an example, this link to "The Next big thing" (which is 66% off right now):

Strange that they would exclude the entire north American market. It would seem like most of south & central America plus Europe were allowed to buy KoA & Syndicate at 50% off.
Drat it, I have a ton of RPG's to play as is, but I don't think I'm going to be able to resist Legend of Grimrock any longer. It's a an old school style RPG designed with a new engine and is being sold at budget pricing. In other words, it's irresistible to someone like me.
And that RPG bundle looks tempting as well, for once I don't own half of the games already like I often do with these bundles.
I added my tag to the link, so if anyone buys from it, I'll (hopefully) get some blue coins. I just thought I would let you know, if someone dislikes it when you do that.
Also The Amazon sale is on now, I grabbed the Darkness 2, for 12.49 it can't be beat. THe game literally came out like a month ago and got fairly good reviews. The main complaint being that it's short (around 6'ish hours sp), however for 12.49 that can be overlooked.

I just want to point people towards the 1C pack again, because they just added more games to it. Now it is up at 89 games for 18€ (I think it is 18€, my currency conversion skills might be a bit lacking). Sure, there is a lot of junk in there, but you also get quite a few interesting games, namely:
A Farewell to dragons
Alien Shooter Gold
Cryostasis
Death to Spies+expansion
Faces of War
Fantasy Wars
King's Bount The Legend/Armoured Princess/Crossworlds
Men of War original/Assault Squad/Red Tide/Vietnam
NecroVision+Stand alone expansion
Pathologic
Planet Alcatraz
Reign: Conflict of Nations
Space Rangers 1-3
Star Wolves 1-3
Theater of War 2 + 2 Expansions
Theater of War 3
UFO Afterlight/Aftermath/Aftershock
XII Century - Death or Glory/Blood of Europe
Real Warfare 1-2
Borderzone
So in terms of game for your money, this is actually an even better deal than all of those indie bundles.
I think its worth noting that the 70% off discount also applies to every game in the 1C pack if you buy it individually. Very useful if you are interested in just 2-3 games, like me. I got Pathologic, a game notorious for its weird atmosphere, with a strong cult following. I wanted to try it for years, but it will have to wait until I'm through with Legends of Grimrock.

Not all games are 70% off, some individual games in the bundle are currently more expensive than the bundle itself.
And yes, Pathologic was one of the things that really cought my eye. It is by the same people who made The Void, and seem to have got a similar cult following. Once I'm done with Grimrock, I plan to play through that game.

While I have not played them myself, I've heard a lot of good about Star Wolves and Space Rangers (more about Space Rangers). Apparently Star Wolves 3 can be a bit frustrating though.

This is a bit entertaining actually. Do a price comparison:
You can get the 1C RPG pack for 22€ (I guess, GG shows prices in SEK for me, might be off by a euro), or the complete pack, which contains 84 more games (including the ones in that pack) for 18€.
