tinyE: tomorrow I'm going to go ahead and buy Thief at 4.99 UNLESS it's bound to show up as my 'personal deal' for 2.99 over the next few days.
The worst that happens is you find out you could have saved $2.

If that'll ruin your day, then I say wait. If you'll shrug your shoulders and say, "oh, well", then pull the trigger. Maybe.

Another option is to wait until the 29th - Thief is going to be on sale until then, so you'll still be able to buy it at $5; no loss over buying it for $5 tomorrow. On the other hand, getting it over and done with so it's off your mind is a valid reason to pull the trigger. Or maybe you want to play it *now*. As long as you won't regret missing a $2 lower price possibly showing up before the end of the sale, then go for it.

The sale itself is a game.

tinyE: What are the odds that over the course of the sale everyone gets a chance at everything? It's not a huge deal but tomorrow I'm going to go ahead and buy Thief at 4.99 UNLESS it's bound to show up as my 'personal deal' for 2.99 over the next few days. The same goes for a few other games actually but that one happens to have been on my mind and I know it's part of the sale.
Check the OP for a link to a classifieds thread dedicated to the personal box deals - you might be able to find someone who has Thief at 2.49 and wants the deal you have on a given day!

I actually had Thief as my deal yesterday - if I could go back in time to help you, I would. :)

JMich: My guess/deduction from these 3 days is that the items in the daily chances are games that are/will be part of a bundle in this sale. I do believe we will have a thief bundle, though you'll probably have to pick everything if you want to get the -75%, or you may be lucky and get it in a mystery box for -75% on its own.
In other words, patience my young padawan.
Whats the likelihood either mystery boxes or community deals will have higher discounts ie 85 or 90%?. Seem an awful lot of 70-75% off stuff (indies a lot less)

Personal opinion, slim to none. Seems we again have a 50% blanket sale with individual and bundle deals being higher, usually between 66% to 80%. Alan Wake seems to be at 90% off in the boxes, and Trine has a 90% discount, but I don't think we'll see that many really high discounts.

On the other hand, I'm just a customer here, and even if I can make a few lucky deductions, I am mistaken often as well.
