We kind of expected this would happen today and we were right. Online download sites are having some big Thanksgiving weekend sales and are breaking out the sales cutter and slicing down prices on a number of PC games. Direct2Drive's "All Killer, No Filler" sale takes $10 off the prices of Dragon Age: Origins and Grand Theft Auto IV and $20 off of The Sims 3. They also have deep 50 percent price cuts for Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Maximum Edition and Resident Evil 5. All sales end Monday except for Resident Evil 5 which ends on Friday.

Over at Impulse they have put over 40 games in their download library on sale. Prices are cut between 35 percent to 75 percent with some games cost as little as 79 cents to purchase. And that's not a typo.
