Do it.

Does to me, too. I also recommend adding L.A Noire plus the expansions for another $8. That's a whole bunch of game for very little money.
And on that note, with my recent purchases of FO:NV and L.A.N, I've spent my allotted $20 on this years steam sale. I WILL BUY NO MORE!

IMO you shoulda spent some of that dosh on The Walking Dead, but oh well.

Is Thief: DS worth $1.76? I'm debating getting the first two for $5 or caving and getting all three for $6.74... this may seem quite inconsequential but I've already spent a few moneys on the summer sale.

Of course it's worth it. It's not just about the Cradle, which is one of the series' lofty high points, it's a thoroughly decent game with some unfortunate limitations that you may or may not be able to get over, depending on how much you expect it to live up to the two genre pathbreakers that came before it.
If you don't already own the first two, though, the pack is a no-brainer. I'd say get T1/2 from GOG if you can, however, because I'm pretty sure Steam's patched .exe's are probably gonna cause you trouble when it comes to using DDfix on them. Can someone chime in on whether an alternate fixed .exe can work with the Steam versions?

Thanks for the reply Sulphur, I already own CD versions of the first two (that I have gotten to work previously with a little effort), and I just liked the idea of having steam versions so that I didn't have to lug the CD's with me wherever I might feel the inkling to play.
I think I'll spring for the pack, I already almost got it when it first became available, and the price is really too good to pass up.

I believe that (

The only issue I'd predict is that you might need to move the game directories to a location out of Program Files if that's where your steam games live.

My current game is this sort of ARG/point n click adventure game called "Getting fucking Metro 2033 to actually fill the screen with it's picture"
I think it's one of those obtuse ones from the eighties with no actual solution.
(seriously, it started working fine, then decided it didn't want to any more. No actual solution exists. Any of the things that worked for other people do not work for me)

Limbo and LA Noire with DLC. These sales are great.
