If you still want to buy some games for cheap, I think the best time is now. Regardless of the platform; Xbox Live, PSN Store, and Steam is showing awesome sales this week. If you have the spare change to buy games/add ons online, check out what's on sale.
Why are there big sales happening? well because it's Black Friday in the states, and Xbox Live PSN and Steam is no exception. We don't have Black Friday, and I'm okay with it because I really don't want to fight for specific 50% off games over a 12-year-old.
Xbox Live
The marketplace is having this Fan Appreciation Sale that started on Tuesday with special one-day offers on Fridays and Mondays.
The week sale will happening from 22-28, it's 26 now so you better check out what's worth buying, especially the friday only and monday only sales:

One-Week Sale Page 2
Friday only sales
The one's worth mentioning for me is Super Meat Boy which is on sale for 400 MS Points($5) down from 1,200 MS Points(I bought this game without hesitation) The Baconing which is now half the price(600 MS Points) if you want a Diablo-ish style of gameplay, and Marvel vs Capcom 2 down to 320 MS because MvC 2 is never a wrong choice.

Steam is the one to check out ASAP compared to the rest. The Autumn Sale, for only on November 23 to 27 has amazing huge discounts on full games, like full games being cut by 50%. the Catch? they are day-one only sales that change each day so better check it out. Like today Dead Island is now 50% off only happening today on the 26th. How I wish I new about this sooner...
Head over to Steam NOW to not miss out on these discounts. They also have one-week only sales from other game developers also check out each publisher, one might catch your eye.
If you're looking for a downloadable game similar to games like Gradius or Type- R, Sine Mora is the game for you. Metacritics show that this Xbox Live arcade game is doing well with the critics. Of course it will do well, when's was the last time you've seen a game like this? It's good to see that some game developers keep games like this alive.
