    Looking forward to Zaga-33, a streamlined roguelike, at an initial asking price of $0.99 it'll likely be free with this sale.

    Thanks for pointing that one out. Never had heard of it and just took a peek. Definately looks promising.

    Because the sale doesn't actually start until tomorrow... Any showing up on sale now are just early.

    Since the description said every app would be heavily discounted I thought it was gonna be all apps free or a dollar. Most apps just went from 5 to 3 bucks. That's no bargain, I'm gonna wait for more substantial price drops. I blame the 7 day duration. If it were a 3 day sale or shorter there would be better bargains.

    Also, would anyone mind making a list with prices. Before and after? I'll get the ones who are discounted nicely still.
    (Already done by sladeums, awesome updated list on post 5.) http://forums.toucharcade.com/showpost.php?p=2268515&postcount=5

    ...40% off is not a bargain? Where do you shop where you get 80% discounts all the time?

    There's an enormous sense of entitlement surrounding the app store. I'm not sure where it comes from. I know a lot of people who complain about the prices of games which give them hours of entertainment think nothing of blowing six bucks on a fast food combo meal. It's very surreal.

    God, this mentality just kills me...
    The majority of these games are some of the best Indie titles you'll find on the App Store...personally I don't understand why people would pass on these games just because they're not free or 99c...This type of unwillingness to pay a few bucks is what forces devs to go freemium, imo

    Guys, don't derail the thread further. Remember this warning from the mods a couple pages back? (Emphasis mine.)

    A pricing argument on a thread about a sale whose emphasis is the freedom of developers to price as they please, is just plain stupid, ironic and out of place. Take it somewhere else, thanks.

    Thank you for that...people REALLY need to stop complaining about pricing.

    At any rate, I plan on getting Superbrothers, Edge Extended, Canabalt, 1 Bit Ninja, and possibly Fieldrunners...going to be a big week! Probably will also get Defender's Chronicles II as well xD
