I decided to start a thread, in which we can speculate / discuss upcoming Christmas deals.

What kind of GOG Christmas do you suspect is coming? Will there be a calendar / free gifts?

I'm pretty eager about this, since it's my first Christmas here on GOG. :D
I think last time it was a developer sale for 1 developer for the duration of it.

Edit: Guess I'm remembering wrong:
The GOG.com Christmas sale kicks off on 8th December.

The headline act is The Witcher 2, which will be bundled with the Enhanced Edition of Witcher 1 for £14.99 - a saving of 40 per cent (not to mention the free game).

This Witcher 2 sale starts at noon on Thursday (8th December) and expires shortly before midnight on Saturday (10th).

GOG.com will give away more than 400 game codes for various old PC games on Saturday (10th) and Sunday (11th). Included in this giveaway are Master of Orion 1 and 2, and Realms of Arkadia 1 and 2. There will be "lots" of codes given out for games costing $5.99 and $9.99, too.

On Monday (12th), GOG.com will host a 48-hour giveaway of Empire Earth: Gold Edition. Anyone with a GOG.com account can claim the game for free.

Monday also marks the beginning of the "50% Off Holiday Celebration" sale. This will apparently span "virtually every game in the catalogue", and lasts through to 2nd January 2012.

I'm guessing we'll have a mostly store-wide sale similar to last year.
It's anyone's guess at the moment, the guys who already know it (GOG employees) are also the guys who know how to keep their lips sealed. ;)

My personal guess is that we won't see a store-wide sale, but more daily offers like the "vote the game" offers in summer. These were pretty good in directing users' attention to the store each day, giving an incentive to people to spread the news (vote this game, and we'll get it at 60% off!), and GOG probably still sold some other games without needing to put them on sale (especially those that can't be bought elsewhere).

For several months now, GOG has tried to do things a bit differently than the other stores during the big sales periods. They still provide great sales during these times, but they try to do it in a way that's less ruinous (in the not-so-short term) than competing with Steam's or Amazon's prices catalog-wide would be. I think that this trend will continue.

But as I said, it's pure guesswork at the moment.
