Don't have anything to share as a Brit (still in its infancy) but curious to see what you fellow Americans have encountered so far!

Who was buying what? What was selling well?

Captainbojanglesiii · Nov 28, 2014

There was a baby crying. There is always a baby crying. Do not bring your young kids to Black Friday please.

Target wasn't too crowded at all. Went in, got my games, got my movies, got a soda, waited in line for 20 minutes and left. 3 games for half price, can't beat that!

Shadow of Mordor (PS4)
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (360)
Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition (PS4)

All for $95

Xbox Ones were all sold out. Almost no PS4s were touched. That $70 difference makes an impact.

Anon67 · Nov 28, 2014

I see people holding Xbox Ones and not PS4s! Omg Xbox is dominating!!

relax guys

And these people where holding the basic, non-models. I just went "wtf" since there were bunch of AC XB1 bundles sitting there, waiting to be picked up.

Oh, grabbed a 2 TB HDD for my XB1 for $80.

Bought 2 consoles...online. I'm not going out there!

Booker Dewitt · Nov 28, 2014

I just came back from Best Buy, saw a man buying a copy of Limitless on blu-ray.

Couldn't help but feel that his life priorities weren't straight.

Armaly · Nov 28, 2014

I bought:

Infamous Second Son $20
Drakengard 3 $20
Final Fantasy 2 $4
Kingdom Hearts 3D $12
1tb HDD $50
New mid tower case $120
Dualshock 4 Controller $40

Still need to buy:
new headset
year of ps+
mouse pad

Everything so far has been online. Might go to a store to pick up the headset depending on the weather in a few hours.

if you need a plus then this is the best deal right now but who knows tomorrow could bring a better deal even though it is looking unlikely.

I kinda wanna buy Shadow Warrior with that PSN deal.

That's about as exciting as it will get for me.

Steam sales have been crazy, I almost got trampled checking out The Wolf Among Us.

Next time I'm bringing cleats.

julrik · Nov 28, 2014

Bought Alien: Isolation (PS4) for ~£22 here in Norway. Relatively new games usually cost ~£50 here, so I'd say it was an okay deal.

Derpyduck · Nov 28, 2014

I just came from Best Buy and they had three sections of bundles - Xbox Assassins Creed, PS4+GTA+TLOU, and Wii U+Smash+Donkey Kong. The guy that got me my stuff said Xbox has been flying out the store, Wii U isn't moving many at all (evidenced by having the largest pile of consoles) and PS4 was doing OK. The cheap price must be working in the Xbox's favor (It was the cheapest of the 3 bundles at 329 to PS4's 399, and Wii U's 359). If I didn't own a PS4 already, I'd have snatched up that PS4 bundle. Great deal imo.

Mostly I was surprised by how civilized Best Buy felt during Black Friday. It had a lot of people, but everything appeared to be moving smoothly.

I also went to Target and it was a mess in comparison. One long line that went through the middle of the store. They had all kinds of TVs strewn about in the clothes sections. The iPad area was a dead zone. Cleaned out before I got there. They had no Xbox bundles left (they were including a 50 dollar gift card with it). They had PS4s but no bundles. And they had one Wii U+M3D.

ProjectBerkley · Nov 28, 2014

Went with my brother to Walmart. He got the MCC Xbox One bundle with $30 gift card. Store had about twenty of them in stock. There were a lot more than 20 people in line for it.

Vestal · Nov 28, 2014

Aftermath at target. Xbox ones gone. Stack of ps4s still around.

According to electronics guy, they had 65 Xbox ones and 40 ps4s

It is indeed crazy that the Wii U bundle cost more than the X1 bundle as bestbuy...

I didn't plan to stop by bestbuy since I bought everything I wanted already except How to Train your Dragon Part 2, but I will definitely check out my local BB.

Bowler · Nov 28, 2014

Bud at my best buy just texted me that they just ran out of all xbox ones. Still have asstons of ps4's and wiiU.

Looks like the deep discounts for the x1 may pay off.

Vaco6121 · Nov 28, 2014

I picked up Shadow of Mordor, Wolfstein, The Evil Within all for PS4 for $60 at Best Buy. A lot of people that I saw were getting Beats headphones and a HP printer. Seem like the PS4 and Xbox One were equal.

Officerrob · Nov 28, 2014

I should probably share my observations in here instead of the PS4 Black Friday bundle thread. I went to Best Buy tonight at 5 in Roanoke Virginia, and both PS4 and XBone bundles were right by the front entrance. On my way out the door I saw the XBox display was mostly gone while the PS4 display was still mostly intact.
