Better quality ad scans:

As someone who's gone the digital only route, I really hope Xbox has some great digital deals. I was pleased with their Black Friday and Countdown to 2015 sales last year, and I'm hoping for more great deals. My gaming time is pretty limited, but if the price is right, there's definitely a few games I'd pick up (Mad Max, Destiny, COD AW, RE Rev2, etc)

 

[Nokagi]

These aren't the deals I was looking for.

 

[kirblar]

Does Best Buy price match the BF deals? UD is something I definitely wanted to pick up and would like to get the GCU points.

I dunno, but they've priced matched absurd deals before, like the $25 DS4 deal that Sears was pushing for a while around Christmas 2014.

 

[SpaceHorror]

I'll probably pick up Destiny for $35.

Nope. I don't think you'll find anyone price matching on BF

 

[Barry Burton]

In for Splatoon at $25.

 

[Rickelodeon]

Transformers, GTA, Splatoon, Mad Max at $25 mmmmmm might have to cop those

 

[plutoknight]

Walmart has in the past!

Opening your store during Thanksgiving dinner is scummy.

 

[j0hnnix]

The games are in store only or can buy online at 3am? I might stock up.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

that fit bit flex sounds inticing!

Rare replay at 15 too! HOT DAMN

 

[dolabla]

This is what I want to know too.

What about the consoles (Wii U, PS4, X1)?

I want to get Splatoon for $25, but I'm not going in store to get it. No way, no how.

If only the same concerns existed for hospitals fire fighters police etc.

All those people still have work don't they?

Are you equating retail sales with emergency safety and medical services?

[cereal_killerxx]

There's a Roku 55" TV for $350 bucks in the ad as well. Thoughts?

 

[geomon]

Save us Cyber Monday, you're our only hope.

 

[sturgboski]

Just so I am clear, that 3DS bundle is not the n3DS correct? Ugh, cheapest BF for that is $180 and got excited.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Retail isn't essential.

To play Devil's Advocate - clearly there's a demand for the stores opening at this hour. Walmart sees profit from those customers, so it's ultimately irresponsible to shareholders to ignore that.

 

[RedAssedApe]

cyber monday deals usually aren't better than bf deals

 

[ubercheez]

Friday starts on Thursday. What a world we live in.

 

[Jon Carter]

Just so I am clear, that 3DS bundle is not the n3DS correct? Ugh, cheapest BF for that is $180 and got excited.

Yeah it's just the old normal 3DS XL. Nintendo isn't even trying with N3DS/XL bundles. That Youkai Watch 2DS bundle for $100 is great, they should make a $170 New 3DS Youkai Watch one as well. Happy Home Designer is not going to appeal to too many boys, they need new bundles. Plus the HHD bundle is a rip-off, even at $200.

Yes, but we're weighting human decency above responsibility to shareholders in this instance.

 

[lantus]

At least we know there's going to great prices on games this year still. I've been waiting for a good price on GTA V for quite some time. Probably going to pick up until dawn, destiny, rare replay and wither too. So I'll be happy with that.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

clearly there's a demand for the stores opening at this hour.

Demand driven by the stores themselves, not the market. The deals, which the stores control, are what drives the demand, so the demand would be there whenever the deals went live. The stores are CHOOSING to move the demand forward to Thanksgiving so they might get a leg-up on competitors who don't. Those competing stores respond in kind, and now Black Friday exists in name only since most of the action starts on Thursday. The stores did this. No one else is to blame.

 

[Tom Nook]

LOL, Not going to rush there, wait in line, fight the crowd, grab the games, wait in line to checkout, to save $30. Not worth it.

I bet you go to Walmart 8am on Friday, no crowds, and still get the games you wanted. Got the games I wanted last year. Last of Us and Batman

Why would you go to the store at all when all the deals are available online?

 

[ubercheez]

I'll take that bet.

 

[infinit777]

Do we have a black Friday gaming deals Google doc yet Like last year?

 

[tanooki27]

that wii u bundle is MADNESS. so much pure fun, so cheap

 

[Sagroth]

I'm sold on $25 Splatoon. Probably AssCreed Syndicate at $35 also.

 

[kidtamagotchi]

Is Splatoon $25 only on Thursday night, or it through Friday/the weekend?

 

[gypsygib]

As a Canadian all I can say is God bless America, because surely it doesn't bless anywhere else.

dem prices

 

[gogosox82]

Splatoon for $25 is tempting. Is this in store only or can I order online?

 

[Rocketz]

I'm in for Mad Max and The Witcher 3.

 

[Slayer-33]

This is one of the worst Black Fridays ever.

Yep, not even the rabid spending feels are felt in the air.

 

[overcast]

Feel like i should mention that Until Dawn I 20 at Best Buy. Late update about a few titles for 15 and 20 dollars from there.

This is new thread worthy..

 

[GreatNumber]

Splatoon for $25 and Destiny TK Edition for $30-$35 is tempting as fuck.

 

[Vaughngief]

Think these deals be online as well? Not sure if I'll be able to make it out to an actual store.

Edit: Never mind.

 

[whipihguh]

Both Majora's Mask AND Splatoon at $25? Oh man...

 

[WouldYouKindly]

In for Titan fall for 8 just got a xbone been wanting to try it out and also in for the handsome jack collection for 25 but for ps4 I knew Walmart wouldn't fail me

 

[Battlechili]

I think its funny that they still sell the PS2 GTA games at Walmart and still actively promote them. Didn't even Sony put the PS2 to rest last year?

 

[Maitiú]

Yes, and many of us in public service have to work rotating weekends too, because we are open every hour of the year, but part of the reason we do what we do is because we care about the people we are helping to keep alive. I would rather work thanksgiving than have someone die because there was no one there to work up their blood and find compatible units for transfusion.

Thanksgiving Day sales (let's call them what they are) are not a life or death issue - well, other than the consumer culture that leads to deaths when ignorant people fight over consumer goods rather than take the apparently much-needed time to meditate on how fortunate they already are. Retailers who force their employees to work Thanksgiving should be required to pay all their staff 5X their hourly wage. I'd love to see a law like that pass.
