360 will do awesome this holiday system. Tons of good deals on them. I would consider getting one, but I just spent 1000 for this new computer system. I think I'd just rather upgrade the graphic card and stick to PC gaming and using my PS3. But I really must give props to Microsoft for really taking the steps to get their machine out to users.

So I need some advice. Between credit and giftcards I have about $100 to spend in Gamestop on BF. I have two choices

1) A combination of 3 of the following (Valkyria Chronicles, LBP, Fable 2, Rockband 2)

or

2) A slim PS2 for 49.99 and getting back my Square PS2 games I have lost/let go in the last years including FFXII, FFX-2, FFX, KH2, KH and also my copy of SoTC

No my PS3 is not BC. It's truly old gen vs. next gen and i'm lost on what to do.

I thought Gamestop's black friday listings weren't really a sale. Why would you go buy stuff on Black Friday that wasn't on sale? Unless you don't have any other free time, I would avoid Black Friday to do normal shopping.

Uhhh...B2G1 starts that day. If you want any chance at some of the games I listed you would need to go early BF.

And the slim PS2 is on sale that day for 49. I don't get your post.

The ad listing I saw did not mention B2G1 free on used games (I'm assuming its used games). All it listed was the games shown in the ad and their price which was regular price so the ad seemed pointless.

Kotaku has scans of the ad up. B2G1 is go as well as some deal on systems. One of them being a slim PS2 for 49.99.

Well I was going to wait and get an x360 for my nephew right after Christmas, but this deal is just too good to pass up. The GameStop CEO stated this past week MS is having a tough time keeping up with the Arcade so it could make for a fun Black Friday to say the least.

I'm waiting for BF to buy Left 4 Dead, but I feel like I'm just setting myself up for disappointment.
Yeah, any mention of this? CC has it for $40 (again) this week, but I haven't seen anything for it for Black Friday.

Wow, that's a pretty good deal. Just go get a HDD along with it ;)

Oh and it only comes with A\V Cables... so if you play on a HDTV you'll need Component. :\

Yea, I already got him an HDD from Target when they put there 20GBs on sale for $20. So all that for $220. :D I happen to have an extra component cable from my 360 as well as I use HDMI.

Conan $9.99 - Circuit City

If anyone hasn't played this game and enjoyed god of war, i couldn't recommend it more. It plays exactly like god of war except with better combat and more gore. Story / presentation are awful and don't compare to gow but i came in knowing that. It's all about the fun combat and so worth the 10 bucks. Guaranteed...

got conan for $9 at best buy in the bargain bin for ps3. I'm finishing up dead space before I play it though. heard it was pretty decent. for that price i couldn't pass it up.

I've looked through a lot of the current scans released and so far my black friday looks like:

Dead Space PS3 $30 at Target
DS3 $30 at Radioshack
42'' Panny plasma $900 at Circuit City
and them hitting up GS's B2G1 for some recent games
 
What is the Gaf hive mind opinion on Sonic Rivals for $10? Seems like the sort of deal one could just walk in and grab mid day

On one hand its a Sonic game... but on the other its a Sonic game

To be fair I really did like the racing bits in Sonic 3

Not a single good PS3 offer. wtf is up with that?

$400 for a 80GB PS3, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, and Casion Royale on Blu-ray Disc seems like a good deal to me.

Can somebody post all sales on PS3 hardware or involving LittleBigPlanet? The CAG site is blocked on the computer i'm using (my damn college blocks all video game/porn/social networking sites). I finally have some money and figured I would get a PS3 (won't buy too many Blu-ray Discs since they are still at rip-off prices, but the DVD upscaling plus a few PS3 exclusive games I want sweeten the deal).

Anyone have any tips for getting the Amazon PS3's (500 units?)

First to do is hope they actually let you get a chance at them and then stay up all night with you finger glued to the f5 key.

Was trying to hunt down a 120gb hard drive and saw Conan for $59.99 at my Circuit City.
WTF?

Any Elite deals at all?
The only possible Elite deal that I know of is the 15% off coupon on the Dell website. Dell has been promoting that coupon for awhile though, so it's not really a BF deal, per se.

Other than that, I don't know of anyone else that's doing an Elite deal around BF.
 
Thursday Amazon will E-Mail the lucky people that get in the race to get the 500 PS3 packs on Friday.

If they let me in on 1 of the 4 good races I don't plan on losing. Refreshing ever 3 sec starting @ 3am until it pops up.
Last year was no fun with it being raffle like and those people had all day to get it.

or a spare HDMI cable from monoprice.com if your TV/receiver has a free slot.

That arcade bundle + GH3 should sell really well.
 
I wish I could see some of the actual ads. I'm hearing reports that Final Fantasy Tactics on PSP is going to be $9.99 at best buy, but I can't find anything to confirm that.

I remember last year trying to do something with the x360 deal. It was clogged and someone found a way around the site (mirror?) and got one =(
 
can anyone confirm that Ninja Town will be $15 friday at best buy? i saw it on CAG, but didnt see a scan.

will return my purchase to TRU if that is the case.
 
i was going to get that $199 circuit city deal but the CC in my area is closing so they are not honoring the black friday ads. :(

i guess i will wait until dell has some good deals again
 
DW6 360 29.99 & Armored Core 4 Answer 19.99 ...Hmmmm!

Add the buy 2 get 1 free on used games to that and damn..I'm going to be loaded for hopefully the rest of the year. :lol

You can find the adscan online but yes I saw the actual ad and its 9.99 at Best Buy.

Also it's been confirmed Gamestop is starting their B2G1 free sale tomorrow now.

No one around me has Valkyria Chronicles used so i'm going to shoot for Little Big Planet, Rockband 2 and Fable 2.

On a side note, I just got my Wal-Mart ad and it says here they are going to have a Blu Ray HDMI/1080p player with upconvert on DVDs for $129 (Magnavox). Wow, things are getting cheap. Select BR titles for $15 as well. :D

No way some other store can price match if you bring in the ad?

Yea I am going for the PS3 too but I have a question, Once the race starts at 12 Am EST, Is that the time I add them all to the cart separately? How will the race be? I know that if you don't add them before, it won't work.
