I made the mistake last year thinking some games would be on sale after Xmas, I was wrong. People had new systems and want new games, they are not cheaper after Xmas, buy your games now. Peeps have Xmas giftcard money and they don't put games on sale after Xmas. Buy now thru Xmas. This is a PSA (what ever that means)

I don't understand, serious PSA? The best deals don't come for a week or two, specifically whenever stores begin their Black Friday deals.

To hell with this. I brought all my games last year. AC unity was half off the next month. Little big planet 3 too, the others weren't half off, but were cheaper. Both of them were broken. Will never do that again.


Oh yeah, MCC as well. Was also broken. This is terrible advice.

Maybe it happened for a few holiday seasons, but a lot of games will go on sale.

I guess in a way it's sound advice if you have plenty of money now and the games are ones you REALLY want, but if you're not that hyped up to play Fallout 4 or whatever it's fine to wait. At worst you miss out on some of that launch enthusiasm I guess?

That PSA is just straight up incompatible with my brain. What are you on?

He's just saying buy before Christmas (not literally now) as there would be sales during this time and not after Christmas.

I was trading in some games at target and the guy at the counter told me to buy games now with the gift card and if they get cheaper by black friday i can just buy them again and return them with the older receipt, i was like "dude... can't you get fired for saying this?"

Why would you wait until after christmas time is over to hope for a sale?
Aren't games usually on sale during christmas season instead of after it?

Like, I mean, most of the stores are closed now. I guess I could go in the morning though. Would that still be okay?

What the heck are you talking about?
Arkham Knight is £25 in GAME this week in the UK. Too many bomba's this year, the sales have already begun.

If there's even a 1% chance something will be even $1 off then it's obviously better than a 100% chance something will full priced. No matter who you think of it it makes sense to wait, particularly with Black Friday being only a few weeks away

So last year you decided to skip Black Friday and Cyber Monday for the hope of deals the next year? How much were you expecting to save?
