Happy Black Friday!

Here are Steam's deals for day three of their pre-holiday sale.  A list that allegedly contains everything that will be featured during this five day sale has been leaked, although it does not say which day these sales will occur.  This list does not include individual game deals, just indie packs and gift packs. Keep in mind that this is not an official list, and it may be inaccurate or it may change.  However, if it is correct, then you can plan to watch for these deals.

A neat thing that Steam is doing is keeping a list of all the "wishes fulfilled" so far in their daily giveaway.  If you need some ideas for games to put on your wishlist or to give as gifts, this is a great way to see the games that most people are wishing for.

One more thing that many people may not be aware of: Valve's merchandise store is also having a Black Friday sale.  If you want some t-shirts, Team Fortress 2 holiday cards ($5), or some other Steam-gaming related gift, give it a look.  Some items are 75% off, including Portal t-shirts that are $5 each, and a Half-Life 2 hat that is $2 (90% off).

Here are day three's sales!
