Not sale news, but Steam are introducing refunds. You can get it on anything bought in the last 14 days that you've played less than 2 hours of. So bought the wrong thing, or find it doesn't work on your machine? Get your money back. This is huge for digital sales, and hopefully it will end up on console marketplaces too.

Pretty sure a toaster can handle Super Meat Boy and FEZ.
I highly recommend holding off on those for now, though. Those are two of the most popular PC indie games ever, and as such, they tend to go in daily sales/flash sales quite often. You'll be able to get them for about half of what they are now. If they don't get put in an extra sale, just buy it on the last day possible.
What does this mean? Do you mean the waiting game? If so, then yes. I've only tonight bought one game for full price on Steam, and now I'm waiting for the DLC to go on sale. (The game is Skyrim.)

Don't think they will ever make it worth your while to get that as DLC. (The Legendary Edition will always be priced less than just the DLC's on their own).
“30fps Is Not a Good Artistic Decision, It's a Failure”
Freedom of the press is for those who happen to own one.
Can a Macbook pro handle super meat boy and FEZ? I know this is noobie as heck but I know nothing of PC gaming lol.
Easily. Problem is whether it can handle it in Mac OS X or not. (And whether they have been updated to support controllers and how that works).
If you are going to get Super Meatboy get it from the Humble Bundle anyway. (That has loads of the best indie games and most ? (All ?) support Mac OS X).

There's a free cookie-clicker-esque game on Steam's front page. That's this sale's gimmick and it's how you get cards/badges for this sale.
P.S. @Retro_on_theGo ,
The games I listed don't run on Mac OSX. However, I can vouch that, at the very least, Cthulhu and Breath of Death work great even on old Windows PCs. Even if you can't run them at the moment, I'd still recommend getting them, though. It's not even $1, and if you have a spare computer running Windows, or plan on getting one in the future (definitely so if you want to get into PC gaming), you've got even more games to play...
Eventually.
Yeah; if you hate having a backlog of games you haven't even touched, getting into PC gaming might be a challenge. It was for me, at least until I had enough to feel like I had a digital collection (currently at around 90 games). Big Picture mode is great when you have letters pop up because it's been scrolling for too long.
However, I spent less on those 90 games than I spent on the 10 3DS/DS games I have on my shelf. It feels awesome when you're buying a game as acclaimed as Portal for $3.
PC gaming is super cheap because of not only Steam sales, but the fact that the internet itself its a market there are dozens of sites to buy games each oke with their own sales or even prices, its not like consoles where its pretty much a monopoly.
