Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2024

Was able to snag Tears and Epic Mickey right after Walmart+ early access ended. I was curious and just checked website again.. Copies of Tears at $30 still available
 
Don't know if its been asked yet or not but anyone know if gamefly is having a sale? I looked at their site and it has a deal on gamefly vouchers and 10% off everything on site.

I believe that IS there BF sale. (non-members now pay shipping). Prices are terrible, imho.
 
I found Gran Turismo 7 for PS5 at Walmart today for $20. Didn't seem like a clearance price, but I thought the sale price was $30.

So far I'm disappointed definitely with Amazon I thought they would price match with other retailers. Maybe they would add more over the week dk. Also weird thing about Amazon is that I had a certain game in my cart for ps5 but later I looked at it changed to the switch version for some reason.

Figure thats why ive been risking the waiting. Its been years since I bought anything from BF and year buying on Amazon. Still its been weird on it with games from other countries to multiple games tagged of the same game on one page. It feels unorganized and a headache.

Worst you’ve seen so far

Black Friday is going to keep getting worse. Between less competitors in the market, retailers all but abandoning any emphasis on getting shoppers physically into their store, the impending tariffs, and the increasing move toward digital-only media each year Black Friday is going to be less and less of an event. Sure there’ll always be sales but the deep cuts of the past probably aren’t coming back.


Surprisingly Walmart still had some $30 Rise of the Ronin copies left this morning so I grabbed one. Didn’t care enough about it to subscribe to Walmart Plus but not a bad deal really.

When it comes to games and movies, Amazon just price matches the competition so unless Target, WM, and Best Buy have new deep cuts planned for later this week, you've already seen all/most of the BF discounts.

Unfortunately, I think we all know the ones that are either coming/gone. Retailers like to strike early so we saw a lot of cuts/deals already happen. Skeptical we'll see much, if anything new sale-wise.

Just thought about this, will the tariffs affect digital games? too lazy to look up and too stupid to understand 🙃
 
Is that new/legit? Haven’t seen before. Happened to notice on the Silent Hill 2 copy I got today from Walmart. Then also noticed my Elden Ring from Amazon is the same. Odd to only see on the 2 games that were decently discounted.

Expect to say that every year going forward. Walmart's deals were pretty good this year, if you were able to take advantage before they sold out. As gamers buy more and more digital, less physical games will be made making less games on sale in retail. With less physical games on sale, there is no reason to give big digital sales anymore.

Must be from Canada? Europe has their own rating system (PEGI). Fench-Canada is the only thing that makes sense to see ESRB with both French and Engllish on it

my launch version of silent hill 2 is like that as well, also dragon age and a few others. seems to be a publisher thing, probably to save costs by making a version for all of NA that includes the french.

Interesting. The silent hill example, I can at least see on different sites with it depicted; however, the few I’m finding for Elden Ring don’t depict it. Anyone order Elden ring and can report on your copy? Or really old copies as well I suppose.

In the past, games sold in Canada had both English and French ESBR ratings (since French is the dominant language in some Canadian providences vs English in others) versus the ones sold in the US would just have English. In recent years, it's changed to where a lot of games (if not all games?) just have Eng and French ESRB since it's easier to just print one cover and not have to worry about logistics of whether they'd be going to Canada or the US.

Stock images might depict just English ESRB still, even if there are no copies with English only ESRB.

EIDT* I should say the above is not an expert take on this, just what I've gathered over the years from collecting some older games/noticing the difference. Also here's an old example of Mad Max on the PS4.

I ended up canceling my order since I found it for the same price at Walmart with delivery this week. It is OOS online at Walmart but you could get it for that price if you found one physically at Walmart in the wild.
 
FF7 Rebirth is $39.99 at Amazon. Any chance I could get it cheaper or is this likely the best price we'll see for it this week?
 
My 2024 BF haul:
-Silent Hill 2 ($30)
-Phantom Liberty Cyberpunk DLC (rarely on sale)

Everything else on sale, either: I already have, or just aren't deep enough discounts.

It seems that prices just don't wanna drop, and considering that the quality of some games aren't high enough to warrant even the sale prices. We are seeing a higher "floor price", but are not getting the same increase in minimum quality. And if tariffs keeps this games prices high (or goes higher), I'm fine with skipping some games entirely and work on my backlog.

The price / quality curve is really at maximum divergence; where it used to be prices were low enough, that you could add that $20 middling game to your backlog. In a way, I'm glad consumers are being more selective with their money; devs and publishers will need to understand that we expect better if games prices got raised to $70. Gamers will look to the second-hand markets and eBay to find the better deals in the coming months, if the pricing stays inflated (or rises). I know I'll be selling SH2 on eBay once I'm done with it for ~$20, so I'm sure others will do the same and push the pricing down ourselves.
 
My BF Haul (so far):
Armored Core 6 - PS4 ($20)
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengence - PS5 ($25)
Balatro - Switch ($20)
Gran Blue Fantasy Relink - PS5 ($30)

Unless something earth shattering comes later in the week, I think I got everything I want. P3 Reloaded has my interest, but I'm gonna hold fast for a probable "Re-Reloaded" edition pending that DLC they're doing.

I found it this evening in store at Walmart. GT7 and RE4 had rollback tags for $19.97 (in the regular game cabinets). They had most of the BF shippers in the main aisles wrapped in shrinkwrap with signs saying the sales started Friday @ 6AM. I didn't see the video game one that someone posted on here, maybe waiting until later to put it on the floor?

Sam's wants to charge $8 bucks to ship it, negating the deal. Evidently QVC is out of stock, as I couldn't find it on there this afternoon.
 
I was able to get Armored core 6. Silent Hill 2. Kirby Forgotten Land and Star Wars Outlaws.. i been waiting so this worked out as much as i hoped. Is Avatar Frontiers of Pandora worth it?
