A while back I posted a list of PC games along with their Datablitz prices compared to their online digital distribution prices. It hasn't been updated in a while, and it looks like there'll be even less of a reason to go back to it thanks to this website.
IsThereAnyDeal.com aggregates prices from digital distributors all over the Internet (including Steam, Origin, UPlay, GOG, GamersGate, GreenManGaming, Amazon, the Humble Store, and more) and puts it all on a single webpage. It'll show you all the current deals (if any) of a game, when the deals were found, and the known duration. If you click on a title, you can see more details including the presence and method of DRM, any DLCs that may also be on discount, and - something sorely missing on the Steam client itself - the game's price history.
You can import your Steam wishlist - or any other publicly available Steam wishlist - and receive notifications on when those games go on sale not just on Steam, but on other stores too. If you want to be informed of a game on your wishlist that goes on sale in another website but only if it can be redeemed in Steam, you can do that. You can even specify the price at which you'd like to receive a notification; I've set it so they don't send me an email about Payday 2 until there's a deal that bumps it down to less than $5.
With the upcoming Steam Autumn and Holiday sales (the dates were leaked on Reddit: Nov 27 - Dec 3 and Dec 19 - Jan 2) and the inevitable competitive price matching and undercutting among all the digital distribution sites, I know what website will replace Google as my homepage for a while.
