These may be the best black friday deals I have ever seen so far. Is anyone excited for any of these? :D
I'm hoping I can save up enough because I need and want so much of this. I want Rayman for switch, I want south park, I want assassins creed origins, and I especially want a PS4 slim. All flawlessly cheap. :).
Hope everyone enjoys their holiday season this year. :)

Im looking forward to seeing some of these upcoming ads. I usually do Toys R Us, Walmart, and Best buy. I went to Target last year for a special Skylander deal.
-
I'm actually surprised at how little my excitement is for those sales.
I know I want Assassin's Creed, South Park, and Shadow of War, but I can't even justify a $30 price tag with how cheap each of their predecessors dropped (Out of them, Syndicate was the one I paid the most for at $15 and that even includes buying two copies of Shadow of Mordor).
-
Between my GF and I we have a lot of PS4 games on our wishlists; sadly most of them are not at your big name retail stores anymore or they haven't been listed as being part of these sales, but who know. I'm really holding out for Gamestop's Black Friday ad, which will hopefully include more of the games I am after this year.

a Huge one for people who go to Kohl's
PS4 1TB hd 199.99 with $60 back in Kohl's cash. (Meaning its technically 139.99)
XBOX 1 S 500GB HD 189.99 with $45 back in Kohl's cash. (technically 144.99)
EDIT:
Is there any word of a switch black Friday deal?
-
There doesn't really appear to be anything worthwhile this year for the "big deal" but i do live in Canada... Im hoping for a sale on Arms or something though... and maybe the ps4 version of sp. :/
-
I'll wait to see if there are any special discounts at the Xbox Live Store, still want at least three games for the 360 and guess that's all, my priority right now is the 3DS 8)

I'm hoping for some good discounts on a few titles there as well. It really helps that Microsoft just randomly sent me a message over live with a $5 credit for the marketplace.

Crack Friday? Meh... Save 20$ here, 30$ there. Or just wait a month or so and buy it used for the same price without the five o' clock free crack give-away crowd.
-
Here's what I'm after so far this year. I'll likely add/subtract things as new sale ads are released.
Tekken 7 - $20 - Walmart
Neir Automata - $25 - Best Buy
There a local game store that is doing B2G1 on used PS4 games. I may get some stuff from there depending on what they have.

At least from my experience you only have to do that with the "doorbusters" which are usually home electronics like TVs, PCs, and sometimes game consoles. Actual games, movies and media in general usually lasts for most of the day since they typically have so much of it in stock. I didn't do Black Friday last year due to the stomach flu, but the year before that I started at like noon and got 90% of the stuff I was after. I definitely agree that the people who line up at 4am Thanksgiving to get a TV for half off are stupid as hell.

The past few years I have waited in line to get consoles lol. I actually enjoy it. It's more of an occasion for me as I go with my brother and we hang out with lawn chairs and discuss games. But I could see why it would look moronic to wait 3-5 hours to save 100 bucks :)
I'm hoping they give rain checks on the PS4 deal if you arrive before 1 like they did last year with the Xbox One. If not I'm going to have to camp early. Hopefully soon to be a happy PS4 owner. :D

I ask myself, what is my time worth? The easiest way of calculating this is how much I make an hour at my job. Essentially if I had to wait 8 hours for a $200 discount it would definitely not be worth it.

One year I waited near a crowd gathered around a display in that was mostly all movies and games. They had people guarding it up to the minute. As soon as the minute struck, they all dove in like a pack of wolves tearing into meat. Was pretty barbaric, but when the dust settled they had few Mario Kart 8 left. It was mostly Xbox / PS shooter titles they scavenged. I saw people carrying around arms full of the same game, even though the ad clearly stated 2 per customer. Just idiot re-sellers I guess, looking to make a buck off of the sale. Many seek to profit, or see if they can't flip some extra and get something for free out of these sales.
I just think it brings out the worst in many, so it's worth avoiding. GS usually runs holiday sales that last longer than just crack Friday and their stock on said items seems sufficient enough that anyone could walk in a probably get what they wanted.

The whole event around Black Friday sucks. Nothing I'm looking to nab deals wise for games, no modern consoles I feel I want that I don't have or modern games. I'll keep an eye on amazon's deals and other online retailers but likely won't set foot in a store, though I'll be working so won't have much choice in that case.
-
I'm going to be out of town for the good ole Black Friday this year. My lady, The Boy, and Myself will be making our way to Disney World. I'm going to miss the whole thing.
I'd like to grab a few of those Switch games though. I couldn't seen what all was listed in the Walmart ad.

My local walmart forces 1 per customer policy on consoles and 2 per person on games and won't check you out with any more. Which is awesome :). You also get served consoles one by one in a line instead of a choas of grabbing. Resellers don't really go. Target not so much. They open up the cabinets and let you go crazy they barely even guard the consoles and it's a free for all. The savagery is present but not as bad as what you've claimed in my walmart thankfully :D.
I'm hoping I can get a PS4 from the wolves den this year. Gonna be tough :(

Like every year, I'm not leaving my house. Doing all of my buying online. I have a list of what I want and where I want it from. I'll likely even pass on a lot of stuff that I want just because why spend the money.

Turns out for those of you who want to get the PS4 deal but don't want to wait in line, sony is releasing the deal all week for "black friday week" and it will start the 19th at retail outlets while supplies last. :).

So I apparently BS'd all of you the other week when I said I was too high and mighty for the crack. Well, I went to crack Friday. Just a few games I was feeling impulsive about. Almost couldn't find Horizon, but scored one at the last minute for $20. Also grabbed Agents of Mayhem for $20, and Bomberman for Switch.
Witnessed a fight almost break out in front of me over video games, and again witnessed people carrying arms full of the same thing. Heard some police sirens going off after I left the stores. One year someone was actually shot in my area on crack Friday at a sale. Hopefully it doesn't come to that again.
