Wow, GS must be pissed!
So, YAY for Zelda 3DSXL! I wonder if anyone will have it cheaper?
So, no Luigi Limited Edition XL in the states then?
Also, I see the Skylanders Wii U Bundle. Wonder if this is the replacement instead of the Mario U double pack the rest of the world is receiving...

In for that $10 8GB Vita card and $30 PS Sub. I'm buying a few of those 8GBs haha it's nice to have extras ya know, just in case.
Also grabbing a Wii for a buddy since I'm a Powerup member and he isn't. His dad wants one lol
Edit; Holy shit, Soul Sacrifice, TWD, Killzone and LBP will be mine too. I'm gonna drop a few hundred at gamestop alone lol

Black friday is around 2 weeks after PS4 comes out, less for XB1. You didn't honestly expect many sales for those games right?
I didn't but they already have stuff like AC and BF4 on sale i figured put the Next gen version on sale too.

I don't understand that trading your 3DS in for the Luigi's Mansion bundle thing... Am I misreading or or you basically just buying Luigi's Mansion for $95 if you trade in a reg 3DS or $70 and you downgrade your XL... what?
Thats.... a great question...

So is BF4 on PS4 on sale(anywhere) or regular price?

I know before they used to open around 4 AM on BF
Wouldn't it be possible to buy BF4 for $30 (gamestop/amazon Black Friday price) and then use the PS4 upgrade for $10, ultimately making PS4 BF4 $40? If that upgrade deal is still available...idk.
Ask your local store(s). The flyer says right at the top that many will open at midnight, but some will open at 4,5..or just regular 9AM.
The $30 PS+ might be all day since (I guess, since the ad doesn't mention it) that if they ran out of cards they also sell digital codes printed on the receipts. Kingdom Hearts, depends on the amount on stock the store had. Since they received some extra stock for some items (mostly hardware and big sellers); for many other things if they had 3 at the moment of closing today, is what they'll have on sale during Black Friday.
So no way of doing this online?
Amazon.com?
Same price?
Really shouldn't be crazy lines. I know it depends on your local GS, but call now and ask. I just called mine and was told they have tons of PS+ cards that will easily last all day.
Or amazon.com. (Yes, same price)
Yes
You guys are awesome. Thank you.
Planning on picking up Metroid Prime Trilogy, a DS Lite, and maybe some used games. I really am not sure yet if I will be up for going at midnight or if I'll go the next morning. I'll be in Saratoga Springs so I'm not sure how busy they will really be there on Black Friday. This probably sounds silly but--I'd rather not get stuck with a feminine color of DS, but for that price I'll take it if it's all they've got.

Dude you are awesome, thanks for the heads up! SAVER didn't work for me though.
Saver didn't work for me until I made an account, so maybe try that.

EDIT: Nm, just did this, THANKS! No waiting for me!

anybody who is gonna pick up a 3 month xbox live card might wanna know it's 16.99 on amazon (online game code). instant gratification vs physical item comes into play here lol. with tax the 14.99 card will total about the same as amazon's code.
Whew! Just got back from gamestop to grab a PS4. First gamestop i went to at 1030pm for the Black Friday Gamestop midnight opening had a loooong line of people..some were there since mid afternoon and had "pop tents" up lol. Anyways..after standing in the long line for an hour ..at about 1130pm one of the gamestop employee's came out and starting asking each person in line what they were wanting to buy...he got half way through the long ass line and yelled out...anyone else wanting a PS4..they are all taken now but he says xbox one are still available as he continued down the line. My heart sank and i started walking to my car but luckily i have another gamestop like freaking 2 blocks away on the opposite side of this busy street.
So anyways...i figured i might as well go try there as it was already 1140pm and i was already convinced the line was long and i would hear the same thing there. I get there and yup the line is even longer and i drove by and yelled out asking did any gamestop employee's come out yet and take note of PS4 quantities yet? Someone shouted back to me "NO" and i quickly drive around desperately try8ing to find a parking spot as this strip mall is huge and almost EVERY PARKING SPOT IS TAKEN since there are a ton of stores having Black Friday Midnight openings...I finally find a spot and by the time i get in line...the line is even longer now. I tell myself ..Let me try anyways even though things look bleak! Midnight hits and Gamestop opens their doors and i stood inline as the line slowly moves on into the store...tons of people and with 3 Gamestop rep's at their own checkout so 3 customers at a time are purchasing their items..the line was moving at a decent rate. No gamestop employee's taking count of who is wanting PS4's and X1's so things were looking good... about 30 minutes later i finally get to a gamestop rep at the checkout and asks what item did i need and i said PS4..another gamestop employee comes by and says hold on...let me see if there are any left...my heart sunk because the guy before me just got his PS4....finally he comes back and says yup...we got a few left...and BAM! I WAS ONE FREAKING HAPPY CAMPER!!!
I am sooooooooooooo happy right now..i cannot wait to open this baby up. I put the PS4 still sealed in the box in front of me on the floor so i can just look at it for a bit to soak in all the joy lol...i am now about to finally hook my brand spanking new PS4 right now!!
After i paid and he handed over my PS4 in the all black bag..i started to walk out the store and i happen to look back at all the people in line and the line was still snaked all around the store to the outside doors...i felt kinda bad knowing that some of these people waiting in line are NOT going to be getting a PS4 or X1 tonight and none of the GS employees at this particular store are even going through the line asking who is wanting a PS4 or X1...some of these folks are going to be heart broken by the time they get to one of the three checkout lines.
I cannot believe i got ousted at the first gamestop near me at 1130pm and i drove to the other gamestop with a much longer line and i still got a PS4. And just to think..after they ran out of PS4's at the first gamestop i waited i line for 1 hour in the cold...i was just going to go home and wait til after Xmas to try again to buy a PS4...lol man i cannot believe how this night turned out. I also scored a 1 year PS+ card for 30 bucks and a few weeks back i nabbed Target Store's Buy 2 PS4 Games, Get 1 PS4 Game Free...so i am good to go now...TONIGHT IN THE EARLY MORNING BABY! Just bought a brand new Panasonic 55 inch Plasma a few months back as well...sooooo stoked!!
By the way...it was great to see all walks of life standing in line tonight...mostly 30+ and 40+ year old gamers waiting in line which is nice to see a lot of adult gamers standing out in the cold to get the game on!!
