Well it won't be released until the 24th so there haven't been a ton of discounts yet. Usually you have to wait a couple months to start seeing the good deals on PC. If you just want the best deal you can get on a day one copy I would use Green Man Gaming. Use the promo code U9OULG-XRTO1V-4VMUGZ for 20% off. Plus they are running a deal where you get $10 off your next game when you spend $35. I think that is the best you are going to do if you want the game this week.

Just a heads up. That 20% promo code expires at 16:00UTC today whatever that means. They almost always have an active promo though so it won't be the end of the world if you miss it. The game still requires you to activate with Steam even if you buy it from GMG.
Interesting Humble Bundle Flash deal going on. Bunch of indie games as well as DLC for various F2P games, along with month access for Twitch Turbo and Reddit Gold. And if nothing else, as a party game, you can NOT go wrong with $6 for the You Don't Know Jack Classic Pack.

Big Sale of the Dead on PSN over the next two weeks. Though I'd hoped to see TWD s2 for Vita, I may grab Dead Nation for Vita at that price. And no, your eyes are not deceiving you. The Sale of the Dead logo is done in the exact same font as the official Sunset Overdrive title. lol

Gamefly is having a Halloween PC sale. I just picked up Darksiders for $2.69. I already had the sequel on my Steam account but there is a nice franchise pack for $8.09 that includes both games and all the DLC. I also already had Darksiders on PS3 thanks to PS Plus but I'm much more likely to actually play it on PC and for less than $3.00 I was willing to buy it again.
Just make sure to activate anything you buy on Steam or another service because you won't be able to download from Gamefly after November 7th.

I've never downloaded via gamefly. There's no real point since you need to activate in Steam anyways, so you may as well just take the code and use Steam's lightening fast servers. Of course, I remember back when it didn't use to be like that and you'd have to tell Steam to connect to different servers.
Deep Silver is having a publisher sale this weekend on Steam. The biggest standout is you can get the ENTIRE Saints Row Franchise for $13.74. That's an unbelievable deal for the complete editions of Saints Row 3 and 4 (it also includes 2 but its such a bad port it's not worth playing.) There's other games from their franchises as well, but for some reason Ride to Hell: Retribution isn't on sale. Can't imagine why.

The Metro Redux bundle for $24.99 in that Deep Silver Steam Sale is a pretty good deal. Another option is to buy the original Metro 2033 for $3.74 and then buy Last Light Redux for $14.99. The original games already looked great on PC so I don't feel that paying more for the Redux version is necessary but unfortunately they no longer sell the original version of Last Light. This Redux bundle was mostly made so they could upgrade the games for for PS4/Xbox One but like I said, the originals already looked great on PC.
I just grabbed the weekly Humble Bundle. Type Rider looked pretty cool, and I can justify sitting at my home office work desk while playing games like Influent.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is on sale for $3.74 on Xbox Marketplace for Xbox 360.

Speaking of Influent, it's on sale this week on Steam, as well as all the language packs. So if you want to expand on it's offerings you should get them on Steam.

Even more tempted to switch platforms this gen. Seriously researching the pros and cons of both systems now. I'll be interested to see how the multi-plat releases this fall compare graphically. I'll also need to try an in-store demo of an X1 to see how I feel about the different controller with asymmetrical analog sticks. Not that I couldn't get a PS4 as well down the road, of course, when prices drop and Uncharted 4 comes out.
If you just go by graphics, more often than not the PS4 will win because it has better hardware and doesn't have the bloated OS constantly running as well. Benefits of a PS4 vs One come down to what you want in a gaming system and what exclusives you want.
