Personally, the Humble Store rubs me the wrong way and has become increasingly less humble about how it gives 25 cents to charity when you buy a game, and the GOG flash sales were a bust for me last time, but I'll be paying attention to both when I'm not doing other stuff.
Also Battle World Kronos is 50% off and fully updated on GoG now (free DLC included):

The game has received quite some criticism because of its bad implementation, but a lot of things have been improved in the meantime.
May have to reactivate XBL just to get this. Games with Gold is really stepping up their game lately.
Still value in those physical copies though.
Another Star is now 33% off on Desura and IndieGameStand.
I really wish I had adhered to this in retrospect sometimes, but when I think about it, if I havent played a game in 7 years, what are the chances I am going to play it again? But posts like yours make me think I am wrong. I used to horde all my games, but I always ended up dumping them for one reason or another either cash or to sell to a friend. Darn it, I had a good Nes and Snes collection, and the last dumb thing I did was dump my Genesis collection which was of relatively good size for cash. (But i REALLY needed the cash).
Heh...I saw your first line and thought, "I'm both." Though, to clarify, I'm a collector that collects a library to own it (Some just collect to sell, hope the value goes up, and resell at a higher price).
I go back and forth at time, but ultimately, if I still own a system, I'm hesitate to sell games I have on it because I have regretted it in on numerous occasions in the past. I agree there are games that haven't aged well, older RE's in particular (IMHO). However, that have been times I have pulled an old game that I haven't played in years, or even altogether. For example, I got a hair up my nose...and thought, "I never beat FFV!" Luckily, I had it in my massive collection. I started playing FFV on the GBA a few months ago...and I'm almost done with that. This weekend I pulled out a WWE game that I bought a while back, and went through the 10 hour or so story mode in one setting. So, I have a lot of games I never beat...or even played...but I like having them on tap so when I do get the hankering to play a particular one, it's right there.
I do agree with you about physical copies. I have sold some high price hard copy version when I saw a PSN/Steam/etc version coming out down the pike
And on a whim, I'm checking out some past great console libraries, and DAMN the Saturn had some great games! What the hell Blockbuster? You guys must have shelved like 2% of these games *kicks BB's gravestone*.
With that being said, I totally respect (and even admire) those who buy just one game atta time, play the mess out of them and then buy another. I lack that level of self control...at least in terms of games. I do notice that some (though not all) people tend to have one thing that, if money permits, they tend to horde. With my wife, its clothes and shoes (Do you really need a dozen different pairs?). I can wear the same 5-10 sets until they wear out and be happy there.

Also on Steam, everything RPG Maker is 75% off, but it doesn't make the programs cheaper. What's good about it is all the DLCs are 75% off, including DLC not included in the Humble Bundle deal.

So, if you have that RPG story you been wishing to create, but lack programming skill. Then, this is the best week to get cracking.
Personal warning from an old RPG Maker 2000 user. Even though these game makers cut a lot of time that it would usually take to make an RPG game. You will still have to spend a lot of time just to make 1 hour of game play. But, if you are like me that you enjoy level editors and messing around with MS Paint, then you should have fun with RPG Maker. That's the most important part, having fun creating some fun.
Last tip: don't try to make your first game super complex. Try and make a simple game to get a feel using the software.
This topic is more suitable for the Cheap Games Thread, and has been moved here accordingly. This is the appropriate thread to announce any sort of deals or sales in the future.
I don't blame Blockbuster. The "surprise launch" and the lack of games at said launch pissed off lots of retailers, many of whom just refused to do business with Sega after that. Business practices didn't exactly get better under Stolar.

A discussion about cool Saturn games would have been more welcome, mind.
I got a Saturn pretty much at launch, and still have it. And there are several very good games for it. Fighters Megamix and Daytona USA were games that my friends and I would spend hours upon hours on. Working Designs had several fantastic games on there, including (but not limited to) Dragon Force and Iron Storm. The Shining games ranged from decent to outstanding, and I really enjoyed Nights at the time. There just wasn't enough games for it. At least, not ones that were released in the US.
ETA: Almost forgot the Virtua Cop ports. Loved those as well.
Dark Souls is now FREE on XBL!
