I'm on the search for deals on laptops that can play most games at low or something.

Looking to play games like The Witcher 1-2, Bioshock Infinite, and a ton of 2D games.

Couldn't find a black Friday PC thread so why not here? Any help would be appreciated.

15 minutes.

10 am pacific fam.

 

[Heysoos]

I bought a 960gb SSD for less than 200 bucks. I'm pretty happy so far.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Always Black Friday on PC. Sales a majority of the time.

 

[MrCunningham]

Its in 1 hour 15 minutes.

hmm... I guess the timer is messed up. shows 15 minutes for me. But I guess Valve starts their sales at 10am PST and it is only 8:48am.

10 am pacific fam.

Whoops yeah, I forgot about that. I'm in BC, so I am on "Valve time" as well.

 

[Tertullian]

We used to have Steam sales, until just now when they've gutted them by eliminating dailies and flash sales.

In addition to the massive volume of digital sales, there are also hardware deals to consider if you're looking to upgrade.

Link? I'm in the market for a CPU/Motherboard upgrade.

Saw the thread yesterday in OT. I lost my shit. What an incredible deal.

Check Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon...you know. The usual.

 

[MaxiLive]

All the BF deals I'm seeing are for console systems and console games. It's a great time to buy a PS4 or XB1 if you've been waiting to jump in, but as someone who's trying to focus exclusively on his PC library I'm not seeing any good PC-centric deals. What am I missing? There's got to be some deep discounts on PC titles out there.

Black Friday is all year round for PC gamers with Humble Bundle, multiple platform sales (Steam, Origin, GMG etc) and PC hardware supplies flash sales for components!

But yeah, Steam sales, Origin, Amazon etc are all available for PC as much as they are for consoles but the saving aren't usually as dramatic for new AAA titles.

Well, unlike digital deals buying physical goods is generally very location-bound. I don't know how much deals in Austria will help you.

High Five! Mine just got shipped. Stacking with Visa Checkout + AmEx promo was killer. I so badly just want to build an entire new computer right now. But patience...

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Well, the DA Inquisition DLC is on sale. That's good enough for me.

Yeah, I picked up the last one, already had the other two

That's a cold, cold joke, friend.....

Years, some of us have waited

me too. If there's nothing by Christmas I'm just going to treat myself and buy it all.

Is the Mass Effect 3 DLC on sale or is that still locked behind Bioware points?

Mass Effect 3 DLC on sale

Spoiler

no.

lol fair enough

Check Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon...you know. The usual.

I've checked the usual suspects, nothing very interesting for an enthusiast.

 

[Psychoward]

Steam sale and cyber monday

damn I got a 6700k and G1 gaming 7 mobo combo for 50 bucks off via visacheckout at Newegg-last week

 

[RedlineRonin]

Bold move. I would, but $70 of dlc on top of a $20 trilogy seems criminal. And I wanna play with controller support, which I know you can mod in, but don't know first hand how well it works.

Still beyond me, in this new age of remasters, how that trilogy wasn't item one on EAs list. I'd pay 80 bones for all three games with all dlc. That's prolly 150-200 hours of content.

I was looking for a 6500 or a 6600(k) with a Z170 board lol

But alas I can't seem to find any sort of discounts or 'deals' for anything like that online. :'(

Apparently they've said they don't want to do it when resources could be spent on new games. Seems a shame though as I would definitely go all in on a PS4 collection.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

PC gamers could just spend Black Friday playing their backlogs.

 

[Panda Rin]

Treating myself to a 970, but other than that, not much. Steam sales, and playing through Fallout 4. Gonna give some time for my PS4 with Bloodborne DLC and Until Dawn.

[REDSLATE]

Get drunk.

 

[marlowesghost]

As has been noted steam sale starts in 16 minutes, origin and uplay sales are up, as is GOG.

On the hardware side newegg and amazon have nominal price drops on some hardware, with better sales on Friday and Monday respectively.

[exmachina64]

PREPARE FOR DISAPPOINTMENT, O MY PC BRETHREN

I'm ready.

PC gets great deals all year long.

And yet we always want more.

 

[Neo_Geo]

Be happy that you get better than Black Friday deals all year long due to the extreme competition on the platform and watch OMGWTFBBQ deals roll through through the beginning of next week?

 

[MadClacker]

Aaaaaand nothing..

edit: whoops, there it goes!

 

[exmachina64]

Aaaaaand nothing..

edit: whoops, there it goes!

Every time.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Is the xb1 wireless dongle on sale anywhere?

 

[Chris R]

Wait for Just Cause 3 to unlock

 

[Mr Git]

Steam sale is the only good thing about this time of the year. As others have mentioned there's plenty of hardware sales too.

 

[Tain]

what a silly question

why wouldn't you keep playing Mushihimesama

 

[Hidden One]

lol Hardline is 11.99 on PC.

 

[Xplatformer]

lol Hardline is 11.99 on PC.

And still not worth it? It's not on my radar at all.

 

[Hidden One]

And still not worth it? It's not on my radar at all.

I damn near wanna buy it just to check out how it plays on PC since I have the PS4 version which I actually enjoyed a lot but the player numbers on PC are so pathetic that it's not worth it.
