Video games to not buy any time soon
I've just spent far too long scouring D2D's games catalogue for games which will possibly be in their £5 sale over the next few weeks. Essentially, games in the categories listed here which are currently more than £5.
My advice: If you are thinking about getting any of these games any time soon, wait to see if they are in the D2D sale, as you will be able to get them for a fiver. I thought I'd do my bit to prevent you buying a game now when it is possibly going to be much cheaper in the near future.

Your guess is a good as mine as to which games exactly will be on offer. I'll be sure to post whenever the offers do get posted.
Garry's Mod, PC - £2.99
Garry's Mod, PC - £2.99 delivered
Requires you to already own a Source engine game on steam from the following list:
Left 4 Dead
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Half-life 2: Deathmatch
Team Fortress 2
Counter-Strike Source
Portal
Day of Defeat Source
Although how anyone would have a steam account and not own at least one of those is beyond me.
Direct2Drive £5 game sale: Week 2
The next round of games are up on D2D, and it's another pretty good selection.
Sadly, USA folks get Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena, we don't. We do get Serious Sam Gold and Manhunt though....
Special tip for this week: Saints Row 2 serials can be registered on Steam if you want to avoid using D2D. Also - If you recruit a sympathetic yank, you can just get them to buy it for £3, and give you the serial for Steam, saving you £2, and bypassing 'the man'.
Cheeky lil' GAME scam v2
Update: It appears that it is not the order you add items to your basket that matters, but the item number, IE "339837" for Modern Warfare 2, that matters. The item with the smaller number will receive the £5 off. If MW2 is no good, just look around the site for an item expensive enough that has a bigger number than whatever you are after.
GAME.co.uk have got another £5 off off £50 voucher, this time it is "lastminute09".
Like last time, this can be exploited for nefariousness means.
First, go to GAME.co.uk and pick something that you want to buy, then add it to your basket. It is important you add the item you want first.
Then add a game preorder that pushes the total to above £50 (Modern Warfare 2 will work).
Then go you your basket, and apply the coupon "lastminute09", and you should get £5 off the first item in your basket.
Complete the order.
Then go to your order history, and remove the preorder. You should then have the original item with £5 off, without having to spend a £50 total.
Some suggestions of to good items to get discounted, and the price you'll end up paying:

Direct2Drive £5 game sale
Direct2Drive have been doing an OK job of selling games via download for 5 years, and to celebrate, they are selling a bunch of games for $5 £5.
I wouldn't mind the fact that they are have a bunch of games that are USA only, and have the gall to charge UK folk roughly 1.67 times as much, but their web site also tells you that the games are $5!
Currency shenanigans aside, some good deals to be had here.
