Apparently, it did not start today and I was kind of expecting it to. Any news as to when it begins? I want to pick up Fallout 3 for cheap and keep waiting for it to go on sale somewhere(is it cheap somewhere?). Anyway, it should be soon and I’d like to get in some deals this year. ---

Nothing official. A poster on another forum I frequent who claims inside knowledge said July 12. ---

While this list is by no means confirmed (and may never be), here is some strong speculation on what some of the sales and bundles will look like tomorrow. > **[Steam Community :: Discussions](https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/)** ---

[This](http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2799155) pretty much confirms it’s today. I’ve heard it’s in one hour and 30 minutes, actually…at 10 PST. ---

That time would make more sense. Everything steam does is based around 10 PST. We’ll see who’s right in an hour and nine minutes. ---

There’s reports of prices being lowered already…along with appearances of some [mega packs](http://store.steampowered.com/sub/13005/?snr=1_7_7_204_150_2)… ---

Haha. I can’t get to the store page. So apparently we aren’t the only one that thinks it starts today. ---

Virtually every game on my wishlist is on sale to some extent…I’m thinking every single game on Steam is on sale, even if just by a little bit (well, almost…I’ve seen two or three that weren’t but they’re definitely in the minority). They also have Flash Sales going on, that last anywhere from 8 hours to just 5 hours…and huge bundle packs (most for about 50 bucks each) where they stuff about 20 games in one pack. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > July 12: > > \*Terraria \*-75% $2.49 > > \*Portal II \*-75% $4.99 I doubt that there’s anyone who would be interested in either of these games who doesn’t already have them, but they’re definitely worth it at that price. ---
