    Aaaah Christmas.

    That great time of the year when you buy the better product for yourself and the inferior one for your friends/loved ones....

    *tear* ....it's beautiful...

    L4D2: $34.99 @ amazon
    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.

    I have no photos to prove it, but my Gamestop was pretty mobbed, and i live in upstate New York...in other words, less people than say, North New Jersey or Southern New York.

    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.

    I went to Gamestop this morning hoping for the PC version of L4D2 for 30 bucks, as well as MySims Agents for the Wii for 20 bucks for my gf, and they had neither game. Thanks for those great Black Friday specials! (BTW I was in the store at 6 when they opened. They didn't have them to begin with, it wasn't that they were sold out.)

    The extent of my Black Friday purchases: $14.50

    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.

    That's some baaaad fashion sense in photo #8. (why the hell is a yellow outfit labelled 'Pink'? At first I thought it was 'Pika', which would have made more sense and been even more dorky)

    I blame the recession.

    No video games for me today, just a trip to SoHo for a bit of clothes shopping. Uniqlo had the best sale afaik. It was pretty packed, but when the hell is SoHo not packed?

    All the good game deals are online. Hardly anything worth your while in stores.

    @Altima NEO: That's very true, for the most part, nothing newish was at any sort of reasonable price at BB or Game Stop. Heck the only "sale" at GS was buy 2 get one free on USED games.

    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.

    @Skunky: Scratch that, got Valkyria Chronicles for 20 bucks and Left 4 Dead 2 for 30 from Gamestop. Also Dragon Age for 37.

    Ordered it online though.

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

    Bionic Commando is still on the shelf. All's right with the world.

    @Eternalbl:

    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.

    @njdevil: The ones that they set up in October are worse.

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