If you'd (wisely) prefer to avoid the stampeding, budget-obsessed crowds sure to storm the Walmarts and Best Buys this Friday, why not stay home and get your video game savings digitally through Xbox Live and PlayStation Network? [More deals added]
Sony and Microsoft are holding digital sales this week on a ton of games for the PlayStation 3, PSP and Xbox 360, including bike 'em ups Joe Danger (PSN) and Trials HD (XBLA). Savings on Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker will give you good reason to fire up the PSP and no one needs to know you downloaded Sex and the City 2 via Zune Movies because it was only 720 Microsoft Points.
Of course, if you'd still prefer to head to the nearest retail zoo this week, Microsoft has slashed prices on Fable III and Halo Reach to $39.99 USD at "participating retailers nationwide."
Deals on PSP minis, original Xbox games, Xbox Live Arcade titles and more await you. Offers are good November 23 to 29, so stock up!
