There was nothing on sale, nothing! No games worth getting, no accesories worth buying. Nothing! :cry:

I suppose if you wanted a year old Guitar Hero II you could get it for cheap, but I don't care to buy that kind of games. COD4 was like $12 cheaper; big whoop! GameStop has makes you buy TWO "USED" games to get only ONE free. I don't even want TWO games that are USED! All I really want it COD4 and maybe Guitar Hero III. But I ain't paying $over $80 for no bogus guitar, arcade style game.

All around, I agree... but I did pick up the King's Quest and Space Quest Collections on PC for $10 a pop online. So that kinda made it better for me. I was really hoping for a Rock Band doorbuster sale or something though.

What is Black Friday?!

Jenova_Flare

the friday after thanksgiving is black friday, its the biggest sale day by retailers in the US. You will get better deals today than any other day and most people do holiday shopping today becuase of it. And for the topic poster COD4 came out the first week of november 12$ off is not that bad for less than 3 weeks ago.

your right. a lot of the sales were not for 360 games. If they were they were for launch title games. Gotta remember cod4, rock band, all the really good games just came out the last month or so.

Majority of the sales came with Wii games and I didn't have CoD4 or AC yet so I get AC with a $10 gift card and I'm using that to get Mass Effect next week. All in all I saved $22 bucks. I thought about exchanging my Xbox and getting the Xbox with GHII so I could resell it but it seemed like too much work. I'm sure are we get closer to Christmas they will start throwing out more deals and free gift cards.

They don't even have it in the UK and the Americans still complain.

I'd like to see them pay $90 for a 360 at normal retail price.

Yeah it was pretty bad this year. The only good deals were for TVs. I stopped by EB though and pciked up DOA4, DOA:XBV 2, and Ridge Racer the total was $47. Was gonna head to Best Buy to pick up Gun for $5 but decided it would be worth the trip.

Its all relative to your situation. Lets say I was someone poor but i loved video games. So I come to the library every few days to get online (because i cant afford Internet) to read up on games (because i cant afford a NEW console) I could say, $90 for 360 game? who cares Im looking for my next meal or at least you could afford a console to play. but im not just giving you another perspective.

As for black friday, i never find good deal on video games just electronics. So I am not surprised.

Yeah. It's really racist. They call it that because they have all the sales, and black people are cheap, so they try to get them to buy things.

There not cheap. Just many of them dont have much money.

no i didn't say that. i already have cod4 so it doesn't matter. but for the people that don't have it and want they think maybe they will get for a good bargain like 40 dollars. The game is to new. You might be able to get a gift card if even that. By christmas all the hooplah will be over and they will even have better deals for the games.

Agreed. The only place that had some decent video game sales was KBtoys. But lets face it, their selection of games sucks.

Video games sell like crazy this time of year anyway, retailers aren't going to lower prices on something they already make a very small margin on like video games when sales won't increase that much.

And BTW, 12 bucks off a 60 dollar game is 20% off, not really something to scoff at considering that you won't see new copies of COD4 selling below 60 bucks for a very long time. What did you want them to do? Sell em for 30? Yeah I'm sure you did, but could you even remotely expect that?

When you're on a budget, $12 off a game is really good. I'm going to buy an extra controller today, not because I'm expecting it to be cheaper, but because I need one.

They were selling GUN for $5 at Best Buy oe EBGames or somewhere but who the heck wants that? They were also selling Stuntman Ignition for $20 at Best Buy. Sell Assasin's Creed or Mass Effect at that price and consider me sold.

I got $50 in-store credit for buying an Xbox 360 Arcade system. The Wal-Mart I bought it at only had 6 Xboxes total and only two were Arcade systems. I used it to buy Halo 3 for $13.84. Oh yeah, I had to get up at 4:15 AM to get it. They sold out in minutes. It was a pretty good deal. It was for my girlfriend's son. We'll have to get him a 20GB hard drive for his birthday, but this is a start. It was either the Arcade system or nothing since we have to match whatever we spend on him with his sister.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, THAT GAMESTOP DEAL WAS AWESOME

Shoot, I got the Orange Box, Mass Effect, and the Marvel UA/Forza 2 combo disk all used in P-E-R-F-E-C-T condition. I have no reason to complain.
