Gamers Guide to Black Friday
It’s almost upon us. The one shopping day of the year filled with so much violence, betrayal and family drama, it could be a God of War game. Hit the jump to find out our run down of the some of the best deals for gaming this holiday season.
Below are a list of the finest deals I could find while scouring the internet. Obviously all deals won’t be available at the exact price for your area so check your local sales paper. Honestly though, for larger retail stores things are usually across the board when it comes to price. I’ve also taken the liberty to highlight what I feel are the best of the best deal wise. Keep in mind, I may not mean quality, but rather the price normally versus the price during the sale. Browse our website to find reviews to most of the games below.
All these sales papers can be found in their entirety with the highest quality scans on the internet at theblackfriday.com.
First off if your are looking for something nice, new and shiny to play games on you could do far worse then the console deals below.
PS3: Pretty much every store will have a bundle for $199.99. This includes Amazon.com, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, K-Mart, Toys R Us and Gamestop.
