The 2K collection is 77% off. The Ubisoft collection is 50% off. Yeah, overkill. LMAO

I would, except it took me literally 32 hours of solid downloading to get Starcraft 2, and that's not even one of the biggest games out there

I'm about a month into the whole PC gaming thing, and the Steam sale is amazing. I regret some of my recent PS3 game purchases because I'm staring at the Steam sale and I could have saved 70+ dollars easily if I had waited. But in the past few days I've already got lots of great deals on Borderlands, Fallout 3, and the Witcher games, so I'm still happy. And the savings continue!!

It's good that you've been enlightened. I have never "limited" myself to just one platform, I started PC gaming a few years ago. PS/Nintendo/ PC FTW!

When a new console comes out I usually do two years of pc gaming and then go back to sony when the console price drops. I have been doing this ps2 with counterstrike and ps3 with WoW.

Ive pushed back my WiiU purchase as well.

Whats your Steam user name i'll add you!

Well, what I most commonly run into, is that games run pretty flawlessly at 1600x900. But I want them to run at 1080p and still push 60fps, therefore I tend to spend a lot of time tweaking settings, and not all games have the settings available that you need to tweak. But in most cases, with some help from others and some trial and error, I can generally get a game to run and look the way I want. Most of this is due to the i5 I have. If you have a decent quad core CPU and a good Nvidia or AMD GPU, you'll be able to run most games on the highest settings without much effort on your part. But if you want to run all the fancy Dx11 options, then you definitely want to do some research to make sure you can power that stuff.

In general games are cheaper on PC, but you have publishers like EA and Activision who charge $60 for their titles. Max Payne 3 was $60 too. There are more opportunities to get the games you want at cheaper prices on PC, but if you want a title day 1, it may cost the same whether for console or PC.

And as far as games running smoothly, it really took some time playing on PC to make me realize just how well console games do perform. They are incredibly well optimized and it took some time away from the consoles for me to see that.

It sounds like I'm arguing in favor of one, but I'm not. PC gaming is an incredibly deep and varied experience, it's amazing. But the consoles still hold their own. 

Steam is terrible.  It compels me to buy games I'll never play.  I own around 45 games through Steam, and haven't even started like half of them.  =(

Lucky for me I am picky. They have most of the multiplats we play on consoles are there for ten dollars or less. You can save what you're playing for a rainy day when theres a gaming drought. We've all spent compulsively but truth is truth and Steams sale is unbeatable. It makes Xbox Live and PSN Summer sales look severely lacking.

To be exact, you've only played 16 of your 52 games. 

I've only played 2 of my 11 games. :)

It's because Terraria is so addicting.
