Steam - The Future is Now
I'm debating it.
Getting a new PC in Q1, and it'll have a lot more horsepower than the one I currently have. Thus, I've held off on playing Duke, Rage, and several other games. So I have those waiting for me. Not to mention LoL.
I might wait and see if another sale drops the price further. I've seen several new titles drop from full price to $19.99 within 6 months. Although, I doubt that will happen to Skyrim.

But I just looked and I don't see it in Steam.
Probably delayed.
Look under View --> Inventory.
Just looked and I have two unopened gifts...Hmmmm...will have to investigate when I return from Costco.

Sent you a return gift that is still in my inventory, but under gifts pending, it's also there.
I have not received your gift.
Did you send via email or Steam?

Prior to everything changing at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday, there are a bunch of good grabs in today's deals.
Also, Dungeons of Dredmor is fantastic. It's "Rogue", but with graphics and a lot more comedy.

Regarding the 50% off coupons:
Near as I can tell, if you have a 50% off coupon in your inventory, then the prices you see when you click "Show eligible games" is the price with the discount already applied. It's a somewhat strange way to do things, since 3 of us who are arguably internet experts didn't know what we were looking at and couldn't figure out how to apply the coupon, and I only figured it out after researching the issue for 15 minutes. You'd think Valve would have some real-world examples of online shopping and shopping carts and the application of coupons from which to copy.
Also, one discount per item. They don't stack. I also learned this through googling, and not at a glance in the description of the coupon... also dumb.
Steam Store is nice, but still needs some polish.
