Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2024

Ugh, global entry. We had to use a scraper site to get an appointment at local facility vs one in a completely different state. Worth the $20 though—got booked after a day of use.

That official site is impossible to use otherwise.

Eh, NYC is only 2 hours away and we wanted 4 appointments at once. The Bowling Green location had plenty of appointments and they zip you through pretty quick. 3 of us already have our approvals, only my youngest who was under the age for fingerprinting didn’t get her approval email yet.

as a CAG veteran of over 13 years i can safely say that this is the worst BF in recent history and a large part of that is due to the death of physical media. my best buys had 0 movies on the floor and the sections for PS and Xbox were extremely limited. there were more games behind the counter but it was just the mainstream stuff like COD and whatnot. i miss the old days on here. the shelves are depressing. no discount bins 😞. disks will become as rare as the fabled barbie horse adventures game

Yeah feeling the same. My local Wally World, except for small stand of games, another for console controllers & a few TVs, had zero electronics. Gone where the pallets of movies that were a staple for every BF. In there place was 5 pallets of a 5 dollar pillow. While I need a new pillow it seemed overprice for the quality lol

Has anyone tried the budget tier of Gamefly? It looks like you get one game at a time that is over 30 days old from launch. Seems like a pretty good deal if you don't blow through games. I am considering it to play Rise of the Ronin, Star Wars Outlaws, Metaphor, Stellar Blade, and some other games I didn't buy this year.

just beware that shipping is awful. the good thing is they have added self return where you basically say you are sending a game back before you put it in the mail and they send another from your Q. I routinely have to wait 5-7 days for a game to get to me (pittsburgh to KC). obviously if you are closer to one of their warehouses it would be quicker but USPS is so bad now around me mail routinely takes 2-3 days just to make it through the 2 nearby hubs.

also to add, the games you listed are all "very low" availability except for rise of the ronin which is "medium". for reference I have never got a game shipped to me that was anything less than "high" availability

edit: not to pile on but self return is not available for the budget plan.

Yeah I've had issues with mailing in the past. I still do not understand why they don't have tracking information on all of their discs. I may try it for a month and see how the budget plan goes, but based on your feedback, things are still pretty rough. Unfortunate!
 
Any chance the complete edition of Cyberpunk 2027 drops back to $20? Still kicking myself for missing that earlier this week.

Fwiw we got global entry back in 2018 (easy for us since SFO is close-ish) and saved a huge amount of time coming back from Rome through Chicao the nect year. Renewal process is much much much easier (usually no interview to renew) and again saved us a lot of time coming back this year from Paris via Dublin.

Totally worth it AFAIK.

2018 GE is very different from 2023. Global travel went up exponentially after the pandemic, people wanting to move around desperately. When we use the site to find a Chicago location, you had a refresh fast as you could click the mouse, which was untenable; appointment windows would disappear as fast as they appeared and would’ve required luck (or a scraper alert system, like we used).

Even with three people, we found it impossible to book normally without the “cheat“.

Agreed -- but none of this should be surprising. The writing has been on the wall with publishers consistently pushing streaming and digital game downloads for years now ... and consumers more than willing to give up ownership for convenience. And unfortunately, whether consumers realize it or not, publishers are intent on driving customers down the digital path, so physical discs/carts are simply on the way out.

While Sony has continued to offer a disc option for PS5, its decision to sell the standard PS5 Pro without the drive is the clearest indication that the company has fully embraced the digital future. I can't see the PS6 (3-4 years away) having a disc option at all. Microsoft (if it's even in the console space come next gen) is obviously not interested in supporting discs so Xbox Two (or whatever it's called) won't have a drive.

All of this has culminated into what BF is now for physical media. Films/TV are experiencing the same issue -- though thankfully, there are still a variety of publishers willing to keep catalogs in-print. That said, the market for blurays/4k are contracting and that trajectory isn't going to change.

As expected, as physical games become more niche, they become more of an enthusiast product that commands higher pricing. It makes sense since they're selling fewer copies. This is what is happening for bluray/4k movies. New releases are far more expensive now than before and $20 steelbook releases now MSRP for $40-50. Games are all headed in the same direction.

It was fun while it lasted. At least we still have some physical games coming out but unlike with movies/TV, when the game consoles lose the drive, it really effectively *kills* the physical media market for that console. We're at the inflection point in generations where I think the end of discs is coming. Nintendo may be the real last player if it keeps the carts for Switch 2 -- but after that, we're almost assuredly looking at a completely digital gaming market.

Digital currency is on sale at Costco for $5 off on top of the normal 10% discount, so an effective 15% sale.

$5 savings is valid 11/30/24 through 12/2/24. While supplies last. Limit 3 per member.
I believe you also get 2% cash back if you have a Costco Visa card so this is essentially 17% off. Probably as close to 20% off as we are going to get this year.
 
All you complaining about the lack of deals on BF - it’s never going to go back to how it was. Stores used doorbusters to get you in the door to look for those & pick up other things as well. Those other items helped subsidize the doorbusters. Now most everyone buys online. You aren’t very likely to pick up other things. There just is less incentive for the stores to have doorbusters.
Nevermind the push for subscription services and digital games. That, of course, is also a factor.
 
We're definitely not seeing many $10-20 games, but I still picked up more than I thought I would, at least game wise. I'm not finding much for non-gaming gifts. But my family is horrible to shop for.
 
Silent Hill 2 and Spider-Man 2 for PS5 $30 at Walmart has been the biggest deals

And the Nintendo first party at woot with discount and 20% off in app Friday

And Bandai Namco larger sale

Otherwise eh

They offer a disc option for the Pro. Their decision to sell the Pro without one is all about dollars and sense. People already bitch that $700 is too much. Had they added the disc drive standard (which digital sales vs physical sales proves most of the marketplace don't care about) the price of the console would be higher. I'd bet a dollar most consumers appreciate the extra terabyte of storage more than a disc drive.
Also, I'd bet Sony is making more money off the sale of the $80 disc drive than they are the $700 Pro.

If a base PS5 is going to be $500, then I don't think a $200 tax for the completely optional more powerful version is out of line.
That said, I do believe a 4 year old console still being its launch price (let alone a 7 year old one, Nintendo...) IS completely out of line.

i'm getting bored hearing that over and over again but to each their own. for the past few years, inflation has wreaked havoc on everyones wallets for virtually everything - even for people to feed themselves and buy groceries.

and we've also already 'survived' one administration of orange man and that straight up did not happen like many other hyperbolic fan fictions, tariff threats are called negotiation tactics / tools for trade leverage.. I think we'll be ok in the end on being able to buy cheap consumer electronics and such as we always have.

sounds like it is time to cancel your CNN+ subscription and get back in touch with reality instead of basking in doom porn.

Strider Turbulence EX said:
Cancel CNN? Sounds like you should be watching CNN or digesting any of the multiple forms of media to understand WHY people are concerned about costs rising due to tariffs.

This isn't hyperbolic, it's OBJECTIVE REALITY that tariffs will raise prices. Be it 10% or 25% or 40%, and that's not counting the inevitable gouging that will occur if any given supplier or company thinks they can get away with it. But don't take my word for it, go read up on the soybean farmers devastated from Trump's tariffs on his first term. And then there was the coalition of companies who actively campaigned to block against imposing tariffs on their products. Hope that shit happens again, they have the most money and influence to actually pull it off again.

Enjoy your Black Friday guys. Hope we aren't paying $45 for Silent Hill on sale next BF.

I apologize for inadvertently bringing politics here regarding the Tariff talk. Personally, I don't care about Republicans/Democrats...just here for the deals or whatever passes for deals these days.

Go for it. Try it. That's when half of us stop buying Playstation completely.

We will just buy our games on Steam. Or somewhere else. Because they are not in the business in charging us for online multiplayer and other useless plastic. They have a superior digital library and access system.

"zomg There is no growth!!1" says the companies trying to screw consumers at every corner. So go for it, and watch your successful business fail.

Core gamers will always be the kingmakers. You can have your Call of Doody machines and in return we will show you where the best games actually lie.

Except the Pro is your luxury console aimed at your techy, hardcore niche audience who are not price sensitive (i.e., they'd buy it). Sony could easily have tossed in the disc drive and either bumped the price a few bucks or lose a few bucks. The very fact that it didn't shows Sony -- literally the one publisher who should care about bluray discs -- has accepted that discs aren't worth supporting that much.

Sure, Sony still supplies the option, but we all know accessories fracture your userbase and are far less likely to be supported. Sony dropping selling a disc version entirely when those drives cost it pretty much nothing says quite a lot about how much Sony cares to keep discs going.

Sincerely doubt PS6 comes with a disc drive. If it's entirely optional, watch discs pretty much disappear as support dries up.

I sympathize with your view and certainly would be one of the folks who are done when Sony (and let's face it, MS already has gone there) inevitably does it.

I'm not so sure, however, Sony would see the revenue drop off you think would happen. Content is king, after all, and Sony is also sitting at 75/25 digital-physical sales, with digital growing. At some point (if we're not already there), that physical revenue gap can easily be taken care of by selling on PC or raising subscription prices on your base audience.

And where else would gamers go, anyways, for AAA single-player titles? Sony pretty much owns the genre and with Xbox basically done (come on, no one actually believes Spencer anymore, do they? The man is a corp. shill), the platform market will likely consolidate one more step with Sony's next console stripping off a good number of Xbox gamers.

I just don't think core gamer and physical media gamer overlap anywhere near as much as folks think they do; add to this the fact that the number is getting smaller by the day as older gamers age out or "give in," and I think there is just no real scenario where dropping discs harms your revenue growth.

Folks also like to point out that there are customers who don't have good internet. Well, sad to say I don't think Sony (and def. MS) give two s$#ts about those customers. They're happy to leave them behind because whatever money they lose there can easily be made up from those with solid internet connections.

That's how it was at my store yesterday too they didn't have anything out for electronics. Even the TV's I didn't see displays with BF prices it was odd. On another note I thought I was done with BF deals, but I saw Dead Island 2 and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 for $15 at Bestbuy and ordered those for pick up. Hard to say no to $15 games when games hardly ever dip that low for physical copies now. I was looking at the Prince of Persia game for Switch too, but since It's Ubisoft I'll wait for it to dip below $15.
 
I know it came out recently, but disappointed there were no CoD sales. Heard good things about the campaign and thought about jumping back in, but nowhere near at full price. I'm sure it'll be $40 in sales by April though so no rush.

Yeah, if memory serves correctly, you could always count on the annual BF sales of EA sports games and CoD. Surprised as well.

My walmart did so with grand majority of the games too, with the exception of Sonic X Shadow Generations, they put all of them among the display set up with the Sonic plush and toys, and no copies got security cases LOL. I'd be VERY surprise if no shrinkage when they count the inventory.
 
Well I haven't been on other sties or feeds much lately. But I just googled it again, and just found out that the Hulu black friday deal is back. You can get Hulu (with ads) for $.99/mo for 12 months, or else Hulu + Disney+ (with ads) for $2.99/mo. for 12 months.

www.hulu.com

commercials suck. but there's not a commercial-free option for the sale. if it's only .99c a month you can't really complain. I signed myself up for the Disney duo. Will watch X-men '97 and some Star Wars stuff at some point.

I can appreciate and agree with most of the things you've said in both posts. But I don't believe you are giving enough credence to populism and cascading public opinion. i.e. Shifting polarity among console popularity. The status quo can change on a dime with a new console launch, in regards to popular belief and public sentiment. Like when the 360 came out. Or when the PS4 released.

You might be about to witness a new era of rejection, and consolidation. The market is perfectly ripe for someone to come out and blow everyone's expectations away. Gamers have less hardware brand loyalty than ever. They are not often spending 'new release' money on games either.

You're absolutely right in that's where Sony is leaning. I get it. I see what is coming next. Squeeze the current subscribers. They've already shown us. It's plain a day. Like I've said a hundred times already: Switch 2 INC. lessons will be learned. The next cycle is clearly setting up to become Nintendo-dominant. As long as they don't make any big missteps. The market really doesn't see what's coming up.

Wherever SquareEnix and friends go, because they are already in the process of leaving. Courting other console makers and industry players. Sony has done nothing to help them. Zero marketing. Just happily takes 30% cut of every digital sale. Sega/ATLUS are making fantastic games right now and they are having a tough time selling retail copies too.

The separation in classes between hugely successful AAA games and sales for everything else is massive. More games should be moving 2-10mil. full-priced retail copies in sales.
 
I'm sure this applies to no one but if you have the FutureCard (debit card), get $10 back if you spend $10 or more on the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, eBay, etc. That's $10 at each retailer. Added my funds and got the cash back immediately.

Was a surprise deal since I only have this card to get 5% cash back on utilities.
 
another thread, another Nothing rant about sony. I find it ironic that sony is doing exactly what nintendo does but sony gets vilified and nintendo is held up like a champion of the people. 3rd party games haven't sold well on nintendo consoles in generations but you act like everyone will leave sony because their inflated sales goals aren't met. where will square enix go? put all their games on gamepass and try to survive on the crumbs microsoft gives them?

and what exactly do you think Switch 2 is going to be? it is going to be a $400+, full generation behind console that will sell because it is the only place to buy nintendo games, that is it. third parties aren't flocking to it and away from everyone else, because nintendo consoles don't move third party games.
 
I'd have to see some data supporting where 3rd party sales are coming from the most. But from my understanding some of them are doing perfectly fine on Nintendo systems and especially the switch. But ultimately there's no reason for them to really avoid multiplat as the sales lost sticking to one platform/s only hurt.

Tales of, atelier, smt especially (persona excluded since those were never released on Nintendo platforms for whatever reason outside of the recent ports) sell fine on the switch. Trails and Ys as well seemingly going by how much harder it is to get switch copies usually.

tales of rant below


Symphonia being the kicker as at the time and still to this very day it's one of the highest selling entries in the entire series. and vesperia followed behind it securing second place in na sales for a while. And much later remains top 3 seller after its multiplat ports with arise-ia all being in the 2 million+ tier. Despite sales both end up being the only releases on both respective consoles with no follow-up releases (ignores dawn on the wii as that's a side game spinoff on a later console) While their then management kept releasing under performing titles on Sony platforms exclusively. and continued doing pattern of beta/vanilla versions then an enhanced release later further lowering sales and training an audience to not buy their games at launch.

There's also when they tried to soft reboot the first time. Xillia was the absorption of the teams from the former tales studio into one team and they intended to have it be an anniversary title as well as there being no longer any enhanced release crap. They also strongly built up interest and advertised it heavily as well as the teaser countdown for the anniversary and introduction of the first official female protagonist in the series (Farah was technically the protagonist of Eternia, Sophie is the obvious protagonist of graces) albeit limited to dual protagonist role sharing with Jude. Then they over stretched/ extended whatever themselves and rushed it out the door without expanding the routes between dual protagonists and judes side is essentially the definitive route while millas gets 2 bosses/dungeon areas exclusive to hers and just gets cut out of the Jude exclusive content.

Everyone has different feelings on the state of video game industry. If you are happy with where the PS5 is at, that is the only thing that should matter to you.
 
Looking at my tally of spending this year vs prior year and the year before (2022), it's been pretty tame this year. I think some of it is just due to me failing to keep track of my purchases for a while, which I finally caught up with this summer, and a lot of me buying niche games with the "ugh, I don't wanna deal with tracking this down if it randomly sells out everywhere" when it seems like the opposite has been happening- games are staying in stock longer (like Blasphemous II).

But my wallet is still pretty light, I found a few retro games on eBay that were too good for me to pass up.

Somewhat opposite for me. The last few months I went on a shopping splurge per se. the walmart clearance deals helped, and nostalgia kicked in too. Tomb raider trilogy, the classic 30th PS5 hardware, and now the PSVR2.

I started tracking just my PS5 collection using the gameeye app, and it’s now listed at 105 games. Of those, 6 have been opened and played. Most recently Kena on PS5, prior to that Ghostwire Tokyo.

This is the most I’ve spent on games during Black Friday week… maybe ever. I’ve been holding out for a proper sale on the Switch forever, and I’m pretty sure this is the first year the holiday bundle got a significant discount. Add in some record lows for first party Nintendo games and 20% off on eShop credit at Costco.

I guess I’m unusual in that I’m usually stubborn enough to just wait till something I’m interested hits the price I want to pay, no matter how long that ends up being, but all in all this was by far one of the best BFs I’ve had in the past few years.

There's been no deals in the NS Lite, right? I've wanted to get one for a while now but just can't justify the retail price vs just getting a regular NS.

I started tracking just my PS5 collection using the gameeye app, and it’s now listed at 105 games. Of those, 6 have been opened and played. Most recently Kena on PS5, prior to that Ghostwire Tokyo.

If you have a significant physical collection, GameEye is a great way to ensure you never buy duplicates. Saved me several times.
