Phew, looks like I'll make it through the first day with my wallet fully intact and unscathed.

Ditto. Nothing enticing at all for me.

Now is a good time to list all your trading cards for sale if you haven't done so already. By listing them for the current price, you'll probably sell all of them by the end of the day.

$5 for the Flight Simulator might be worth it if all the previous DLC is included.

METAL GEAR SOLID V: GROUND ZEROES for $13.39. Tempted. I forget. Do you go for the daily deals or wait for something else?

Daily deals, flash sales, and community votes are all fair game. Anything that's just "on sale" is a candidate for a deeper discount via one of the above.

Speaking of community vote, it seems like they cut the deals by 67% as there's only one vote every 24 hours instead of every 8.

It's $6.60 on Xbox consoles if you don't HAVE to have the PC version.

Cool. This is a deal of the day so I'll bite.

Being able to see everything on my wishlist on the main page is a nice touch.

"GMG"? What does that mean. A bit late for the $10 deal since I already bit at the current price.

Dun have an Xbox One or PS4. PC is the best option for me.

Nice. Got it on the One. Thanks for the heads up.

I bought way too much during the summer sale, so I'm going to take it easy this time. I'd like to see Alien Isolation get a nice sale, but that's pretty much the only game I'm looking for.

Most of the Rocksmith DLC is 50% off. The packs that are on sale are only 25% off, so it's better to buy the individual songs. I grabbed a handful of tracks, but if they get discounted more, I have about 20 more I'd like to get.

I was going to do the same, and started looking through the list of songs. I ended up only writing down two songs, and just didn't bother getting any.

If the packs had been 50% off, I probably would have spent $50+ easy. Ubi just doesn't seem to get that selling a bunch at a higher discount will net them more money than selling a few at a smaller discount.

Really tempted to get Game of Thrones now for $22.49.

Stan, it's cheaper than that right now for Xbox One.

Yeah, it's just something i'd prefer on PC since that's where I have Walking Dead 1/2 and Wolf Among Us as games that I see myself replaying down the line. I kind of regret getting certain games on 360 with no backwards compatibility, and feel like the One will be in the same boat even if that's years from now.
