Batman: Arkham Asylum: $39.99 @ kmart.
Considering that I purchased all the games I wanted prior to black friday, those 2 were a great deal and I got them on black friday.

Anyway, I won't argue that this Black Friday was as busy as previous years (there is no way) but Gamestop and the rest of the mall seemed to be doing absolutely fabulous today. I actually went to Toys R' Us to avoid any lines.*
*Note: Toys R' Us in upstate New York has a video game section that is, every time I go there, empty. No one besides me seems to go there. Today, there were like five people and two cashiers. Madness.
On a side note: my mall makes Black Friday awesome. The people in this area are pretty friendly, there was a live keyboard player with a guy on a mic in the food court, Christmas decorations everywhere...if I wasn't sleep deprived and out of my mind I would have been so very happy. I picked up Little big Planet on PSP and that really warmed my heart. Game is stellar.

Three DVDs from an outlet store for $3 each (Groundhog Day, a French/Canadian copy of Slither, and a copy of the Bloom County Christmas special), and two games from Steam (Madballs for $2, and KOTOR for $2.50).
Probably not overly impressive, but I didn't have to deal with a single mob of shoppers on the way.

I blame the recession.

I did find a few cheapies in the old games bin at the Santana Row Best Buy, but still nothing to go foaming at the mouth about.

Ordered it online though.
Steam's sales have been good so far. That THQ pack is a steal

What's intriguing is that it's where the copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 originally were.
I can't tell what game that is behind that copy of Bionic Commando, but it's not that, and it's not Modern Warfare 2.

My K-Mart began moving Halloween merchandise around about 2/3rds of the way into the month to make room for their Christmas items.

Got good DVD deals on Amazon, though.
- 30 Rock season 2 (13 dorra)
- Mad Men seasons 1/2 (14 dorra each)
- Curb Your Enthusiasm S.2/3 (15.49 dorra each)

Dorra? What country's currency is that!

At both Gamestops there were more staff members than customers and this was at 8-9am. At EB Games though it was packed from wall-to-wall and I barely made it across the store to grab copies of Dark Cloud 2, .Hack//Link part 2, and the Final Fantasy XII Collectors Edition.

RPGs and Tactical Espionage Games, nice! That's sure to be the biggest bang for your buck ever. It's like paying 5 cents an hour for all those games combined :P

It's $40 now, don't worry. It's just sitting where the copies of Modern Warfare 2 belong.

It was a little chaotic in front of Best Buy, though, when a bunch of people for no apparent reason started congregating in front of the store, naturally forming a second line. In the end I got everything I wanted and probably had the most fun you're allowed to have on such a dreadful day.
