If you're in the U.S., after you blow through your budget on Black Friday sales, and you warm up again after waiting outside all night to save $100 on your new HDTV, you might want to check out what's on sale today.
Main Sale:
Skyrim - Finally there is a decent sale on this, though for a title to only reach the 50% mark over a year from release is pretty rare. If you've been holding off on this one, you're not likely to see a better deal for quite some time. It's yet another game I've been holding off until a GOTY or otherwise complete edition comes out, but Bethesda is one of the slowest companies to drop their prices (in case you're wondering, the other is Activision, which still sells Black Ops 1 for $29.99 on a 25% sale). For the next several hours the game is $29.99. Don't forget the two DLCs, which are also 50% off, at $2.49 and $9.99 when discounted. Yep, one of those DLCs is $19.99 full price, to which one can only exclaim WTF.
War of the Roses - A recent game, less than two months old, which is currently $14.99.
Saints Row III - If an over the top sandbox style game is more you're thing, you'll find Saints Row at it's lowest price that I can recall since release. Similiar to another recent release from the troubled publisher THQ, Darksiders II, there is a ton of DLC packs for the game, and while they are also all 75% off, the total for all of them is apparently $20.55, or more than double the $9.99 for the base game. Thankfully, the full package, the complete version, is $12.49, making for quite a deal.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron - I'll admit this one doesn't interest me. The number of posts on the forums about hacking in multiplayer does nothing to change that either. $29.99 today.
Crysis 2 - I haven't really heard anything good about this. Actually, most of what I have heard are laments that it isn't more like the groundbreaking original. That, and the fact that someone forgot to add the 5 at the end of the 70% off today means I'd be willing to wait a while longer.
Farming Simulator 2013 - Okay, so if you've followed the comments in other postings you'll have learned about my background, which includes that I am a farmer. So much so that when I originally got the announcement that this game came out, the first thing I noticed was the Case IH Steiger 600 on the cover. Personally, if I had to pick a tracked tractor, I'd got with a Cat MT-765C, rather than anything articulating, but that's just me. So I'm speaking honestly when I say I'm not at all interested in this game, since I use my time playing games to relax or escape the day, not just do more of the same. If it's for you, or you think farming is "cool" (in which case, consult a physician, you have something wrong with you), you can get it today for $14.99.

Anna - $3.39
Inversion - $9.99

Also, about the flash sales, they do seem to last 12 hours for each wave of three, expiring at 2 am, 8 am, 2 pm, and 8 pm, all pacific time, so plan out when you want to check back, so you don't miss an otherwise great game.
