Still a rather expensive way to rent a game.

Was it cheaper renting the game from Impulse?

Pacov, if I can make a suggestion-because they have flash sales every eight hours, if you download the Steam app on your phone, you might be able to catch the flash sales while at work, without having to use your work PC. That way you won't miss any hot sales.

 

You can also put games that you really want on your wishlist and you will receive an email alert when it goes on sale.

 

Hope this helps.

Don't honestly know if this is accurate as I haven't checked. Just saw and thought I'd post though.  If you try this out and it works, please reply here - will let you know if I try 1st.

Yeah, it's accurate for the most part.  Bioshock Infinite was matched $30 on Amazon, and the coupon worked so I grabbed it there.

That app is great.  I have been waiting for the Borderlands 2 Season Pass to hit $10, and it did with the flash sale last night.  Just happened to see it on my iPad.

Doing a little digging from the Reddit link that Heavenfall posted, I found this site: http://steamdb.info/sales/

 

Using the filters 'Games' and 'US Dollars', I am able to sift through the deals that didn't happen to make the front page. They start off with the 90% discount sales, so you might find that little indie gem that you have been looking for.

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Heavenfall.

 

PS-I don't think Amazon will match Steam's flash sales. I was hoping to get Civ V's Brave New World for a 33%+15% discount (it is 33% off as a flash sale at the time of this post), but it was the regular $30 on Amazon.

Only a few hours left, but they have Civ 5 on a flash sale for 75% off.

All the DLC and expansions are also on sale.  If you already have Civ 5, you can grab the Gold upgrade for just $5.

Another very impressive sale at Amazon: Civ5 gold edition (base+dlc+gods and kings expansion) + X-com + Civ4 complete edition. All for 17$ at amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CPBZDPE/ref=s9_al_ft_g367_ir04?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=1MSCRVVF74XE7CPWB83Y&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=1582794462&pf_rd_i=1000716161

I am going to check if they are indeed giving the discounts in amazon.... Because I live in a different country from where my card was issued and am discovergin the shitty restrictions that brings for steam. 

However, they do not seem to be matching everything. I was curious about Heroes VI (a little more out of nostalgia for my teenage years that because I really trust it to be good) and, hell, for 10 euros... But in amazon they only have for 10 euros the normal version, not the gold one. And I have checked amazons of all countries, Germany (where I am now) included
