Valve launch yet another sale with some great deals on offer. And yes, we realise it's Spring here.
It's been only five months since the last significant sale on Steam, and already there's another running from Valve's popular digital distribution platform.
Though there's no additional mini-game with achievements involved as in previous events, the discounts offered are just as tempting and vie for your gaming dollars just as hard.
The sale will run from the 24th of November to the 28th for Australia, and the first day has titles such as Mass Effect 2 for $5, Duke Nukem Forever for $16.99, and Portal 2 for $10.19.
As mentioned in our earlier article we've got some tips for those buying off steam, as well as a reminder that this sale is likely a preliminary 'Black Friday' sale – the inevitable Christmas sale will run for longer, and cover a wider range of games (though the prices will likely remain similar).
For those lucky enough to have unmetered internet the world is their oyster; for those still on quotas you'll have to be more choosy. Here's a few tips on how to get the most bang for your buck:
Wishlist recent games in the catalogue and wait until the last day of the sale in case they're featured as a highly-discounted daily special.
Consider buying developer collections if you're buying a few of their games; it might not cost much more and you could score a gem or two you hadn't heard of.
Check SteamPrices.com and compare regional prices – though we're not going to tell you how to purchase from other Steam regions, in many cases you'll be able to shave even more off the price.
