    I will definitely put that $299 PS3 bundle at the top of my list. I will likely trade LBP in, because I'm not into creating stuff to play; but I missed out on the whole PS2 era, so the GoW collection will keep me busy while I pick up all the other PS3 exclusives.

    @(Starman) Starman: The only reason I'm so excited for Black Friday this year is because I don't have to work it. I can enjoy my Thanksgiving and not have to worry about getting up at 3am and working 20 hours. Whoohoo!

    But yeah, I'll sit at home comfortably and order from Amazon--and get free shipping, and no tax.

    Do you know if it's true that Amazon matches all Black Friday deals?

    Advertising that you're bundling three games with the PS3 and only offering two is blatant false advertising and they need to be called out on it by the media or legally.

    I totally overlooked the fact that the god of war bundle was one game. It's still two discs right? I think they can still get away on a technicality because its two games in one package.

    @gordiehowe5: I noticed that too, and thought that it was particularly scummy. It's not false per se, but certainly misleading. I mean, someone actually took the time to photoshop 2 separate PS3 boxes for the GoW collection. They certainly knew what they were doing.

    This is Gamestop though. I don't think any of us are surprised, really. Just think of how many of those copies will be sold opened because it was "the last copy".

    @THEMISSING: Except you're only getting two games. They can't advertise a sale giving away 30 games with a PS3 and then give you Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, can they? Despite having two games on one disc, it's still a single game and should only be able to be advertised as one game. Just advertising them as separate games seems like a bait and switch.

    "Solid?" Try "underwhelming." I'm definitely not willing to go deal with a mob of crazed shoppers for $10 or $20 off a bunch of (mostly) older games. The Left 4 Dead 2 and ODST prices are good, but other than that...

    Fun fact: Page 7 blatantly lies about the price of the AC/DC Track Pack.

    Every year Nintendo has an exclusive Black Friday color or two. There's a good chance that that blue DSi won't be available in the future (unless you import, of course). #nintendo

    Clubhouse Games is the shit. Simple concept, it's basically a bunch of card games, board games (checkers, chess, battleship,), stylus versions of bowling, darts, etc. and some other cool, intuitive mini-games, all of which are great for multiplayer. The kicker is the in-game pictochat, which you can use for massive shit-talking. It's great if you have multiple DS's and perhaps kids, and can easily get you through a long car trip. #nintendo

    @buddhathing: I was most the way through your post before I realized you actually liked clubhouse games. I misread "clubhouse games is the shit" as "clubhouse games is shit"

    Don't use 'the shit' as a way of complimenting something, especially in text. #nintendo

    @Clarke: Sounds like it's just downloaded onto the SD card and there's no linkage to the account or does this batch of DSi come with a slightly different Manufacture number so if it's deleted they'll let you download it again?
    Unless there's a link to your account otherwise it doesn't seem likely to be able to redownload them. #nintendo

    @WhatTheFrag: True. I would have said that there was probably a download code in the box, but "pre-installed" doesn't leave much room for interpretation. Perhaps they are linked to your account if/when you register the DS? They could be tied to the serial number? #nintendo

    I'm surprised to see Kmart is still around. All the Kmart's in my area closed down some 5 years ago so.

    As for Black Friday, retailers nationwide will feel massive disappointment. #blackfriday
