As a general rule, if I'm even interested and it's under $5 I buy it. Anything over $5 has to be something I want--for instance, Rayman Origins is $15 right now. I'm interested, but not enough to bite at that price.
I'll probably pick up Legend of Grimrock, as other than that I've already got most of them. But if it hadn't been 60% off I'd have probably passed on it. I'm only just getting around to some games I picked up on sale months ago, like W40K Space Marine - I picked it up 4 months ago and only started playing it this week. There's no point rushing when better sales will come along later.
