I'm not one of those crazy people that lives for Black Friday, in fact I feel like the deals for the past few years, on video games at least, have been mediocre for the most part. However, this year I am genuinely excited about a lot of the deals I'm seeing on various newer video games. So what is your Black Friday 2018 game plan this year?
Here's mine:
I am probably going to start at Walmart since they have they seem to have best deals on newer games this year. Specifically I'm going to try and snag the following from them:
Assassin's Creed Odyssey (PS4): $35 - this is one my GF really wants, I don't a have a lot of interest in this franchise
Diablo 3 Eternal Collection (PS4): $17
Dragon Ball FighterZ (PS4): $17 - this one is still a maybe since I'm 90% sure ArcSys will release an updated version soon
God of War (PS4): $25
Grand Theft Auto V: Premium Edition (PS4): $25
Street Fighter V Arcade Edition (PS4): $12
Depending what I can or can't find, I know that Best Buy and Target have a few deals that are equal or close to these. The real wild card is going to be Gamestop which has kept their ad under wraps (mostly) to this point, but they might get factored into my plans as well. I imagine they'll be doing their b2g1 or b2g2 deal like they have in previous years on used games, which means I'm probably be picking up some more PS4 and Switch games.
There is a local independent game store that does crazy Black Friday deals and will likely be hitting them up as well before the day is done.
