Welcome back to year two of the annual Gaming Nexus Black Friday Round-up. This year we are dealing with the worst economic situation we have seen in almost 20 years as a result, gamers are looking for the best deals on the best gear and the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) can provide you with everything you need. The one caveat, you have to brave the long lines and early hours in order to get the best stuff. That’s why we are providing you with a quick synopsis of the best Video game Deals from the largest retailers so you can get a head start on making your plans.
The basis for this article comes from the good folks over at
www.bfads.net, as their hard work is what makes this article possible. Despite their tireless work, threats of lawsuits, last-minute switches and some cloak and dagger stuff by the retailers can lead to some differences vs what is posted. Regardless, here are the best deals on Video Games, Video Game Hardware and Video Game Accessories from the top electronic retailers such as Sears, Gamestop, Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Toys R Us.
The biggest “deals” I see involves older Guitar Hero games such as Guitar Hero III, Guitar Hero Aerosmith and GH II. Some are early bird deals, some are all-day deals. The best can be found at WalMart, where for $50 you can get multiple Guitar Hero discs.
Wii Deals:
The best deals for the Nintendo Wii software are at Best Buy, where they have four games for $9.99 as doorbusters.
Xbox 360 Deals
The single best Xbox 360 hardware deals at Target, where they are offering the Xbox 360 60GB Pro System Bundle w/ LEGO Indiana Jones and Kung Fu Panda along with a FREE $60 Gift Card.
Playstation 3 Deals:
The best Playstation 3 deal can be found at Best Buy, where for the normal $399 price you get the 80 GB bundle, Casino Royale on BluRay and Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction.
Circuit City Deals:
Circuit City has some decent deals on software, but I would steer clear of the company for any hardware deals or anything that promises a gift card. Unfortunately, despite their recent attempts to shore up the company, they could easily close their doors at any give minute, especially if the Holiday sales are weaker than expected. This could leave you out in the cold with no way to return your products or use the gift cards you received.
Check out all the deals below from the major retailers broken down by Software, Hardware and Accessories.
