Great news for PC gamers! Steam's annual Holiday sale has just gone live, offering awesome deals on tons of great games, up to 80% off on some. Through January 3rd, you can get, among other impressive offers, 50% off the entire Ubisoft catalog, 50% off the Eidos Collectors' Pack, 33% off Rockstar's collection and all 2K games, 50% off all THQ games, 66% off the Unreal Pack and all Atari games, and there's a bunch of discounted indie games.

There are also daily deals going on. Today's include Mirror's Edge, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, GTA IV, Defense Grid: The Awakening, and STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl.

"This year's sale has begun earlier than years past so gamers can save big on last-minute shopping via Steam's Gifting functionality," writes Valve. "Gamers can save up to 80% on select titles, with daily and week-long specials running during the promotion."

STALKER for $1.99? Mirror's Edge for $4.99? GTA IV for $7.49? Seriously. That's outrageous. The world is surely ending and Valve knows it. Might as well spend all my clams then.
