Wal-Mart Black Friday Deals
Wal-Mart's Black Friday catalogue has shown up. It's pretty good. Highlight is probably a $199 360 Arcade (the one with Sega Superstars Tennis bundled) that comes with a free Guitar Hero III game + guitar pack. There are also savings on the latest EA Sports games, a promised "wide selection" of cheap DS and Wii games and, for the impulse shopper amongst you, copies of Bully for $10.

Toys 'R' Us Black Friday Deals
Yup. More Black Friday deals. This time from Toys 'R' Us. Sure, they're not a blue chip games retailer, but if you're in the market for Guitar Hero or a PlayStation 2, they might be worth a look. Particularly for the PS2 deal, since every purchase nets you a DVD remote, a copy of...21 on DVD (OK, not so hot) and six free games. Those six are probably from a list, but hey, free is free.

Research Says 46% Of Shoppers Looking To Buy A Console On Black Friday
With Black Friday almost upon you (no such shenanigans in non-thanksgiving-giving countries such as Aus), research firm Consumer Reports have got into the spirit of things by publishing a report on projected consumer spending. In other words, what people will be loking at spending their money on come next Friday. Turns out they'll be spending it on Wiis, PS3s and 360s. 46% of those polled said that, when they hit the shops on November 28, they'd be shopping for a games console. 46%. Blow that figure out across the US (even accounting for the fact the total number must surely be slightly lower) and that's a ton of people in the market for a games machine. Hope the three platforms have their trousers pressed and their shoes polished, because with that kind of money up for grabs, they're going to need to make an impression. More »

Sam's Club Black Friday Wii Bundle Was Obviously Too Good To Be True
You didn't really think you were getting a Wii, three Wii Remotes, three Nunchuks, Wii Sports, Mario Super Sluggers, and King of Clubs Mini-Golf for $224 USD did you? Oh. You did? Well, shit. Sorry about that, because that mindbogglingly good deal from Sam's Club as part of a Black Friday deal sure isn't happening. Guess we should've paid heed to the official Walmart Check Out blog that "the information on those [Black Friday] sites was not entirely accurate." More »

Sam's Club Selling Wii For $224 (With 3 Controllers + 3 Nunchuks + 2 Games)
Now we're getting into the good stuff. Sam's Club's' Black Friday catalogue just hit these here internets. It's got deals. Wii Fit for $79 is...OK, if that's your kind of thing, but you may find their "Nintendo Wii Family Bundle" a little more appealing. For $224 you get a Wii. With two bonus Wii Remotes.

KB Toys Black Friday Deal
A little less than a week to go and the Black Friday deals are rolling in. This one from KB Toys. According to their circular, they are offering Buy One Get One Free on their entire stock of video games. The offer excludes hardware and bundles with a limit of four fee games per customer. I find it a bit odd that there are no next-gen games in the photo, but the ad clearly states "entire stock." If there is a KB in your area, you might want to give a call or stop by this week to see what the selection is like before you head over there at 6am only to find yourself faced with some crappy GBA games.

Amazon's Black Friday Voteathon - $79 Wii?

There are six rounds of products, and you get to vote on one from each round. Voters for the winning deal will be randomly selected to get that deal on purchase day. The first round consists of a Nintendo Wii for $79, a 40gb PlayStation 3 for $139, or an Xbox 360 Arcade system for $99. Right now the Wii is winning with a whopping 55%, so it looks like that will most likely be the deal come buying day.

Wal-Mart's Awesome Black Friday 360
Ah, Black Friday. I prepare for the day by scouring countless websites for information, mapping out local retail outlets to make sure I can be in line when each store opens its doors. Then come Friday morning I realize that the gaming deals on Black Friday completely suck and wind up sleeping in, but still. Ah, Black Friday. Take Wal-Mart's big gamer incentive for the shopping holiday. You can get an Xbox Arcade system with five bonus games for the low low price of $279.92! That's a savings of $.08! Take back what I said, that's a steal! It even comes with five bonus games! Of course, said bonus games are the XBLA titles that come bundled with the package in the first place, but you throw the word bonus in there and parents go crazy buckets all over the place, not knowing how inherently Black Friday sucks for gamers. Thanks Wal-Mart! More »
