IDPLAY: Depends on the game and the times it went through the rotation.

Example:
Lets say Planescape Torment starts with 600 copies at 90% off.
Once those 600 copies are sold the next deal with a new game appears. But missing that Planescape deal doesn't mean you can't still get it for that discount. That deal will re-appear around 2 times more any maybe with more than 600 copies the next time.

Of course the number of copies can also decrease with each rotation but that usually depends on the speed. Fast selling games tend to get more while stuff that stops the sale might get less copies available in the next rotation.

muntdefems: Are you sure about that? I only experienced first hand the last Insomnia sale (last year's Double Insomnia), and I'd swear the amount of copies of a given game was always the same throughout the rotations...
Fairly sure they were different, could be wrong I guess.

I guess we all know what that means :D

IDPLAY: He is coming.....
Actually, I'm in the middle of playing Jack Keane 2. ^^
And seriously, for all the fun it generated during the insomnia sale, as a game, it deserves much more than scorn.

Well, if anyone still needed further confirmation...

Habanerose: Thanks, was just wondering there was a fixed stock. But good to know they will appear more than just once.
Most of them do, I believe some don't return though.

Ah, I can think of a thousand things that are not coming! Does someone remember the method for invoking Konrad the Blue?

A gun could be useful though.

From the hints given by the blues over on the "No weekly staff pick" thread, it's an Insomnia sale (picked up coffee, yawn) and it might start at three? A blue counted three.

Breja: I'd definately rather have a normal sale than Insomnia. The only Insomnia I like is the one with Al Pacino an Robin Williams. I just don't like gimmicky sales. Let's just get all the deals nicely laid out, let's have time to breathe and choose what we buy.

If we get an Insomnia sale I might buy some stuff, it happens to be something I really badly want and it's on sale at the right moment, but I refuse to watch the site like a hawk because marketing gimmicks.
Have you seen the original Norwegian film? Much better than the Hollywood remake in my opinion. Really brought across the Insomnia aspect given the very short summer nights near the arctic.

As to the sale, I hope it closer to the last model where they have two streams and significant daily sales, so everyone has something to look forward to.

I didn't even know there was one. Interesting. However I'm pretty sure I won't find it in any store around here, and I'd need a copy with subtitles, as I don't speak a word of norwegian.
