The "Give & Get" Sale starts today and ends Tuesday, November 30. Each day during the sale there will be huge savings on featured games and large game packs that are perfect for gift-giving throughout the holidays. In the spirit of giving, each day of the sale, Valve will be awarding 30 users with the top five games on their wishlists. To become eligible to win, simply load up your own wishlist with ten or more items now.

Source

Just remeber to leave some money for the holiday sale ;).

Steam Store: http://store.steampowered.com/

EDIT:

If you are wondering if you can win unreleased games and/or preorders, the answer is:

If the game can be added to the wishlist, then it's eligible.

EDIT 2:

Day 1 Sales

Day 2 Sales

Day 3 Sales

(ARMA II: Combined Operations is also on sale for $22.50).

Day 4 Sales

Day 5 Sales

Day 6 Sales (Final Day)

Buy Alpha Protocol. If you liked Deus Ex, you'll like this one too.

I just picked up a second copy :)

yes! oh my god, there is such a gem of a game lying beneath the surface. It is also easy to get past the flaws.

Definately worth it imo

I just picked up Prototype, Borderlands, and Deus Ex collection. $29.97 well worth it! :D

But now that I think about it, I wish I purchased the Deus Ex 10 pack and then picked up Deus Ex: Invisible War separately. My friends would love to play this game.

Awesome, got Alpha Protocol, and thinking up my wish list right now. Gotta remove those cheap games from there and only add expensive premium editions of new games. :P

I got Alpha Protocol, I just hope it's good.

Also, I would skip on Borderlands if you don't plan to Co-op, that game is so monotonous on SP...

It's a crapshoot. I remember a few games that got cheaper and some never came back on the christmas sale. I'm feeling a Borderlands GOTY pack coming on sale though.

I think only games that you can add with the "wish list" are eligible, because I tried adding Empire Total War GOTY edition and there wasn't a wish list button for it.

Hmm, i'm considering sam & max, and Alpha protocol. Anyone have any input on these titles?

It's unfortunate that i'm only interested in 1 game in the indie pack.

You should pick up Alpha Protocol, very underrated game if you ask me. The stuff it dos right greatly exceeds its flaws.

I went ahead and got it. It's probably good, just overshadowed by Mass Effect. They tend to do that sometimes with reviews.

Nothing catching my interest today, but hopefully there will be something good in the days to come. The wish list contest is really neat; got my list all filled out with some games I wouldn't mind having. =P

might aswell cross off witcher 2. Doubt they will drop the price again even if it's on everyone's top 5 list.
