All day today Meat Bun shirts are an insane $10 and the sale ends at midnight on Black Friday or when they run out. The best part? The first 20 orders get an extra tee thrown in for free. (Meat Bun's choice.)

So if you're in the market for a swank t-shirt, or a cheap present hit that up.

<![CDATA[Game Crazy's Black Friday Ad Elicits Thrills, Chills]]> As a part of our ongoing quest to provide you with Black Friday deals from every store in the entire country, we give you Game Crazy's four-page Black Friday ad, bursting with delicious savings.

As is often the case with Black Friday ads, you may not find the freshest games on Game Crazy's list if you poke about there are some rather nice deals, especially on early Friday morning, when you can get Far Cry 2 for the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 for only $39.99. Otherwise it looks like a nice shop for picking up on some older games you might have missed. Assassin's Creed and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for $9.99 is nothing to sneeze at, and if you've never played The Darkness, $4.99 is a completely insane price.

Hit the jump to browse all four pages, oddly stylized to look like blown up comic strips from the 1950's. Marketing people are so crazy.

<![CDATA[Even Nexon America Is Doing Up Black Friday]]> Black Friday deals don't have to be limited to actual physical items you can hold in your hand. Nexon America proves that even fake things can benefit from post-thanksgiving shopping madness.

The online game operator has just revealed plans for special deals going on over Thanksgiving weekend in their popular MapleStory, Mabinogi, and Combat Arms titles. The adorable MMO platformer MapleStory will be discounting different items every hour during the course of their event, with limited quantities available per server to help simulate being trampled to death by housewives. Meanwhile, in Mabinogi, they'll be doing that same thing every two hours, along with a 5% discount on everything in the Item Shop during the event. Finally, Combat Arms players will enjoy various items at 20% off, including the Golden Mei female merc package, complete with gold-plated AK-47.

Black Friday - It's not just for real crap anymore.

<![CDATA[Red Octane Starts Black Friday Early]]> Red Octane is kicking off Black Friday a few days early with several amazing deals on older Guitar Hero products, which make perfect gifts for your friends and family who don't know any better.

The deals are mainly PlayStation 2 oriented, with Guitar Hero III wired bundles going for only $29.99 and the wireless bundle only $10 more. Along with the PS2 deals there's a PS3 bundle of GHIII for only $39.99, and a two pack of Guitar Hero On Tour for the DS ringing up at $69.98. I suppose you could call it a clearance sale, but that would ruin the spirit of the holidays.

Make sure you use the code BF2008 for the wired bundles and BF2K* for everything else, or you bargain hunting will have been for naught.

Red Octane's Black Friday Sale
[Red Octane - Thanks Stephen]

<![CDATA[Black Friday 08: Sears' Limited Edition DS Colors]]> The Black Friday ads are starting to roll in, and over at GottaDeal.com they've just posted the one from Sears, which features two limited edition Nintendo DS Lite bundles. Choose from the Ice Blue DS Lite with Brain Age and color-coordinated case, or the Mario Red DS Lite, similar to the normal DS that came with Mario Kart DS, only thinner, sexier, and packaged with the New Super Mario Bros. Both versions will only be available between 5AM and Noon on Black Friday, and I doubt they'll even last that long.

Not a bad start to Black Friday 2008, though the price doesn't exactly scream bargain to me. I suppose things can only get better from here.
