Steam Holiday Sale 2011:
Well its that time of the year again, time to stitch shut your wallets anus for the absolute rape-train Steam is sending its way!
Duration:
This sale looks to be going from December 19th to January 1st, or in FUTURE LAND (Australia) Thats December 20 to January 2nd.
Tips:
The tickover for new daily deals seems to be 4am AEDT, so if you are a night owl, thats how hardcore you must be to wait for the new bargains to tick over!

There will be items that are on sale the whole duration, and then there will be Daily Deals, and on the last day, there will be a "Best Of" Daily Deals where the most popular games from the previous Daily Deals will be back up for round 2.

The way to get the most out of the Steam sale is to not buy ANYTHING but Daily Deals until the last day when you know the game you want is not going to be a daily deal and is just going to be whatever price it has been for the duration. The reason for this is you'll see say GRID for example as 25% of now, but later on it might be a daily deal and be 80% off. Items on sale already i go more on special for a Daily Deal, so be patient if you want to get the best price possible, and if you are new to Steam sales, you will be surprised by how cheap some shit gets!

Considering how little money I have left and how little I can actually download, I think I'll just bring this year's sale to a close with Super Street Fighter 4.

E: Gah! Servers are overloaded and I can't checkout my basket! It's a sign!

Dead Island is cheaper on Amazon for $19.99. I heard it's a buggy game so I'll grab it when it gets even cheaper.

This year didn't have a great selection, it was mostly indie stuff, I think the lack of EA might have had something to do with it.
I bought Terraria, thats it; to even want that was a stretch for me.
