Gaming-related Black Friday deals you're eyeing most?

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I know there are a number of retailer-specific Black Friday threads, but I was thinking it might be nice to combine some of the best deals into one thread. Just wondering what everyone plans on jumping on in the coming week!

Also, please be specific by posting the game or peripheral, the retailer, and the price.
 
I'm mainly looking at the deals for Uncharted 3 and Batman: Arkham City. I was looking at Assassins Creed, but I picked it at Walmart during their $39.99 price thinger.

I was hoping there would be some sales for Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D, but I'm not seeing many for Zelda and none for Mario.
 
Uncharted 2
Yakuza 4
scriblenauts
and a few other small things.

a 3ds if I can find the Zelda SE bundle. I think Gamestop is the only place that has the SE. can anyone confirm?
also thinking about a 360

I thought I saw a rumor getting tossed around that it will be $37 the day after Christmas (from a forum post on CAG IIRC). That's obviously not black Friday , but still...

I can't wait that long for the game. Any rumors about the lowest price during Black Friday?
 
Nothing really.. if i see the new AC for $29.99 or Skyrim CE under $100 ill jump but i pretty much have all the games i want.

I do wish i could find a DSI XL for $100 maybe $120 though.

Im sure amazon will throw up cheap $10, $15 and $20 games that i will jump on but in terms of eyeing nothing but the new AC and Skyrim CE.. maybe the MGS collection
 
Mainly Batman: Arkham City and RAGE, but I'm hoping to get lucky and score Battlefield 3 Limited Edition as well.
 
I don't have much money, so the only two things I'm willing to buy are deals on Saint's Row 3 or Rayman. I'm not sure if there are any deals on these, I'm just hoping that one pops up at some point
 
I'm hoping Amazon price matches Walmart on the 4GB Kinect Bundle and Dance Central 2. My OG white 360 has locked up 3-4 times in the last few months so I'm looking to finally upgrade to a Slim. :)
 
FIFA 12 - $28 @ Walmart
Forza 4 - $28 @ Walmart
Canopy 600 Threadcount Sheets - $19.96 @ Walmart
Emerson 40" 1080p LCD (for my mom) - $248 @ Walmart

Looks like Walmart is going to be my stop for Black Friday.
 
Uncharted 3 for $30 at Best Buy
Yakuza 4 for $10 at Walmart
Skyrim for $28 at Walmart if that picture ends up being true
Sonic Generations for $30 at Gamestop.
 
Infamous 2 - Wal-Mart $28
Dark Souls - K-Mart $39.99
Batman: Arkham City - Wal-Mart $28
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception - Best Buy $29.99

Gonna keep an eye on Amazon all week to see if any of these prices are matched.
 
I'm risking life and limb to get the Skyward Sword bundle at Walmart, because it's basically my last chance to do so while paying a decent price. It's $60, but I'd buy it full price if that's what it took.
 
The 360 Best Buy bundle is pretty nice.

$200 for the 250 GB model, controller and headset, Fable III and Halo: Reach, and a 3-month Xbox LIVE Gold Membership card.

Don't really give a shit about the two games, but would love all that other stuff for $200. Everyone else seems to only have deals for the 4 GB systems =( if Amazon matches Best Buy on the 250 GB model I'll be a happy man. I highly doubt I'll be able to grab one of those in-store at BB.
 
Hmmmm....mostly just the 2011 PS3 titles I've missed out on. I'll buy Yakuza 4, Motorstorm 3, and Infamous 2 at the right price.

I'm more interested in the Steam BF sale, though.

Going for this from Sam's Club online so I don't have to deal with crowds, or hopefully amazon matches it. Also hoping to nab some Live cards from Gamestop.
 
GF is grabbing me the PS3 bundle w/ R&C: All for One and LBP2. Being my first Sony console ever, I'll have a lot of catching up to do. So a DS3 controller and any of the following:

Uncharted series
God of War series
MGS series
Demon Souls
Ratchet & Clank series
Warhawk
Motorstorm series
GT5
Valkyria Chronicles
Sly Cooper series
and anything else I'm forgetting.

Also, I'd love to snag:
Dead Rising 2
Vanquish
Catherine
El Shaddai
Red Dead Redemption
Battlefield 3
for whatever platform

Of course I'm not going to get nearly all of these, I'm just looking for deals.
 
Might trade in my old 360 to Gamestop for the extra $50 value promo and use it towards a new Slim model for $149 and then just swap out the hard drive (Youtube vids make it seem really easy). However if there is a new Xbox next year I'd kick myself if I bought another 360 now so I'll spend the next 4 days really thinking about it.

Other than that, I only really want Toy Story 3 for $7 at Wal-Mart. I've read that it's surprisingly good. I wish there was a deal on Deus Ex and Super Scribblenauts. Maybe Metal Gear Collection at K-Mart.
 
I'll be picking up the 160gb ps3 with ratchet all 4 one, lbp2, and a 30 day ps+ membership for $200. That one's being sold everywhere though so I'm hoping Amazon tacks on a $20 or $50 gift card.

Then I'll be promptly trading those games in for something I actually want.

How'd I forget about Steam? lol

Any idea when that's starting? Will it begin earlier in the week and go through Black Friday and beyond?

Toy Story 3 is pretty damn awesome. It's worth it alone for the toy box mode. Picked up along with midnight club LA complete and pinball hall of fame when walmart had a b2g1 for $30 sale.
 
I'm receiving a $25 Amazon gift certificate from my credit card's points rewards program. What I do with it depends on what deals Amazon has. If they have some ridiculous deal on Resistance 3, I will apply the coupon to that since I've been wanting to try that game for a while. Otherwise I will just apply it to a Mass Effect 3 pre-order to get it for $40, which is phenomenal as well.

I've already bought Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Modern Warfare 3, and Skyrim, and I'm getting Gears of War 3 soon, so there really isn't much I'm missing out on from this season...
 
hopefully amazon price matches most of the ads so i can have a back up in case stuff sells out.


looking to get:
forza 4
dead island
yakuza 4
metal gear hd collection
an extra zelda skyward bundle


some maybes include:
kinect
PS3 bundle- if i sell mine and decide to get it again
 
That Zelda 3DS bundle will be mine, even if I have to wait for hours.

Yes.. my precious..

(one question, if anyone knows.. when I trade-in my DS Lite at GameStop, what do I need to include with the trade-in? I have the charge cord and the stylus that it came with, but not the box.)

Where is this on sale at? Must have missed it.

As for me, I'm picking up Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Dance Central 2, and a Kinect at Best Buy. Might hit up some other places as well.
 
Ass Creed for $35 from either BB or if Amazon pricematches. Newegg pricematch on that would be even better (no tax in WA and faster shipping than Amazon super saver).
 
The only recent games I'm still looking to buy are Dead Space 2 and Crysis 2. They're usually hovering around $30 each, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Hoping that they might show up at $20 or so on Amazon, although I haven't seen either for cheap in any ads from other stores.

It started on Thanksgiving Day last year.

The great thing about the Steam BF sale is that you don't have to go to walmart and risk getting trampled by a stampede inbreds to take advantage of it.
