Reddit user <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/w6gxt/steam_summer_sale_preview_indie_bundlesmore/">Dweezy</a> gathered a list of the bundles, broken down over an 11-day period, along with a few other standalone collections.<br /><br />Titles include <em>Cave Story+, Botanicula, Splice, Braid, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, A Valley Without Wind, Superbrothers: Sword &amp; Sworcery EP, Qube, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner </em>and <em>Beat, </em>and <em>Waveform</em>. Other bundles, indie or otherwise, include Batman (<em>Asylum</em>, <em>City </em>and <em>Impostors</em>), the BioShock franchise, a Civilization collection, <em>Saints Row: The Third </em>franchise pack, Square Hit Collection and a THQ collection.<br /><br />These oodles of bundles have no release date nor price and are unconfirmed by Valve, but this could be a taste of the sweet summer sale to come. Check the entire list after the break, and put that ice pick <em>down</em>.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/08/put-wallet-in-freezer-these-may-be-steam-summer-sales-indie-bu/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Put wallet in freezer: These may be Steam summer sale's indie bundles</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/08/put-wallet-in-freezer-these-may-be-steam-summer-sales-indie-bu/">Put wallet in freezer: These may be Steam summer sale's indie bundles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 08 Jul 2012 13:30:00 EST.

Our wallets sighed in relief after finding out about a <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-17-71-2-74-1qs-49-en.html">Play-Asia sale</a>, and then ran away screaming once they realized that we were now tempted to import the entire store. If you import games as well, now's an opportune time at the online retailer, and if you don't, there's no better time to start. Play-Asia is currently having its annual Summer Sale, which started today and ends on July 20th. This means that every in-stock item is 25% off -- <em>beautiful</em>. <br /><br />Even after just one day of sales, many coveted items have already gone out of stock. There's still a lot to be had, though, so make sure not to put your importing off for too long.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.gemaga.com/2008/07/11/25-off-everything-at-play-asia">Gemaga</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/11/play-asias-summer-sale-makes-importing-cheap-well-cheaper/">Play-Asia's Summer Sale makes importing cheap ... well, cheaper</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:00:00 EST.
