All the rumors Ive read are pointing to next Thursday as the start date. In the past it was around 4th of July, but not always. The rumors are mostly companies moving release dates back and forward around the week for "unspecified reasons".
The most interesting rumor I've heard is that it will coincide with the Olympics and be themed as such...
Like when Krusty Burger put out free burgers if the US won the Olympics in 1984.

That kind of promotion would actually be pretty cool! Get a free game for each Olympic event your nation wins!

So is the rule of thumb that unless its a daily deal/flash deal, don't buy anything until the last day?

"worth the weight"? Is that a jab at Gabe, or an extreme typo failure?

I loved that photo, dsheinem. :lol: I also enjoyed that video when I saw it last night.

So far the sale achievements are kind of weak, but hopefully Valve has more up their sleeves.
