We have ongoing sales all the time anyway, this is just one more, maybe with more games. Don't expect that a lot of stuff will be cheaper next week than it has been recently when it was discounted last time.

The sale hasn't been announced yet, but the discounts are already visible (more than 6000 discounted items).

Thanks, both Halloween and current Black Friday sales added!

By the way – a nice sale we have. Some of my wishlisted titles have got deeper discounts this time – and quite a lot bargains out there for some old classics, some of them also at their historical lows (considering inflation, I haven't expected it may ever happen).

Ciemnogrodzianin,

Just a quick aside... which annual sale do you feel usually has the best prices / deals?

It depends! :D

After all these years I can say there is absolutely no obvious pattern. Many people think it's Winter or Summer sale, but it's simply not true. They're often flat repetition of discounts from previous sales. But it mostly depends what's on your wishlist.

By the way – this sale is IMO very good. I've purchased quite a lot of games, I don't remember such situation in the last year or perhaps even two.

By the way – you registered here a half year before me! So – what's your experience and opinion? :)

Yep, that's true. I'm going to tick a few titles off my wishlist, too, since discounts are actually good this time (though not as good as in the past, sadly). I wish the same could happen for Interplay games, for once...
And I've noticed that a couple other games on sale have gone up a bit in price, compared to the last months. Ups and downs, I guess... I hope they become cheaper again down the road.

Thanks for your perspective!

I haven't been able to make sense of the sales for awhile -- inflation and the price monotony discouraged my usual close inspection. But yeah, this sale has some interesting discounts (if only I was looking for those games ATM!). Gives me hope that the Winter Sale might be very good. ;)
Too bad no flash sales / insomnia deals this year.

Any opinions about this year's BF / CM sale ? Was it good ? ( i mean about the discounts )
Is it worth to wait for the winter sale ?

Nothing special, IMHO.

It's always better to wait for the next sale, if possible. Discounts rarely go down; they either go up or stay the same.

I see . I hope all of the games on my wishlist will go on sale during the winter sale .

By the way : when will this year's winter sale start ? On the 11th or 18th of december ?

My guess would be the 4th, because GOG often tries to begin its sale about 3 weeks before steam, and steam's winter sale begins on the 21st. I may well be wrong.

That would be great .

But i'm also worry about not all the classics titles would go on sale .

Can we bet games on that? Like,
each person is bringing a game and spelling forecast of the e.g. Winter Promo Day,
maybe 3-5-8 people at a time, and it needs to be well before,
Winner takes all but two, one for nearest earlier and one for nearest later Forecaster.
The... Forecasters Game or so, should you like it, fire up a topic I`m in : )

I predict the winter sale will start on Monday 11th. It's usually around that time.

Same, the 4th seems a bit too soon.
