Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2024

I'm rarely disappointed by BF... even when there are no deals. There's nothing more cheapass to me than not spending money and letting it build up. As a CAG, I have more than enough games anyway. Still, if there are good deals on stuff I legit still want... add em to the backlog.

Either way I'm happy. :cool:
 
My friend is looking to buy a switch pro controller so hopefully it goes on sale. I've seen it for as low as $50 before during the holidays.

that is just the early "black friday" sales they do now. they will have real deals (not necessarily good, but better than this crap) closer to actual black friday.
 
Series X was at multiple retailers throughout December. The PS5 disc was only at Target and it was because they were trying to clear out the old model.
 
Not sure what I am looking for this year, not expecting too much on Switch (I have like 90% of my wants already) but PS5 could potentially have some good bargains. Hoping for something like: $10 Callisto Protocol, $25 GoW Raganarok, $45 Dead Space Remake, and maybe even $50 Silent Hill 2 among others.

Gamestop had Callisto Protocol for $10 last year for that price on the ps5.

Wasn't the Dead Space Remake just a free game in the lowest tier of PS+? If they're giving it away there it ought to be a hell of a lot cheaper than $45.

I do want some cheap PS5 games.
 
Ouch, inflation seems to have hit hard this year. Usually, Walmart has something video game related I want on Black Friday. Figured there would be Switch hardware deals since the new model is being released next year. Same with Xbox, not even a Xbox Series X slim; figured there would be better hardware deals or even bundles.

This isn't the actual black friday sale so we should still see switch games

I wouldn't hold my breath on there being all too many physical retail game sales. Those days have mostly past.

May be we'll see some sales at BBY and Walmart -- but remember the big difference from last year to this year is that retailers have really scaled back on having physical media in-stores ... so offering may be pretty narrow and mostly online.

I don't think that's going to cause them to not put physical games on sale for BF. Now physical movie sales might suck.
 
Game Pass makes it just so easy to ignore game deals anymore. Have no idea how I'm going to get through all the games coming soon on top of what I'm already playing.
 
I'm honestly expecting garbage deals this year. Most of the stuff I want will be much cheaper next year (looking at you Sega published Atlus stuff) and I have a bunch to play already.

Given the bracing a bunch of companies are doing for the next US presidential administrations proposed tariffs, I would bet a lot of places are hedging bets and not going for broke on deals.

Would love to be wrong,...

Retailers simply aren't ordering and stocking their stores with as many physical games anymore -- they may not have abandoned them like blurays and dvds, but the scaling back does likely mean most deals, if any, will be online. Selection will also probably be pretty narrow.

This is exactly how physical game prices will creep up (or rarely go on-sale); as production dwindles down, cost per unit will go up.

So there will be less margin for retailer profit, meaning less chance for sales.

As digital takes over more and more every year, the joy of digging through filthy dump bins of marked down games will be long behind us.

Retailers already decided on what are the BF deals long before election day. Stuff was on container ships long before that. They are not going to hold on to that stuff for another year.


Besides anyone fucking around in the stock market or Bitcoin have gotten much richer since the election.

lol wut?

Ya'll just say the most random things on the internet.


I don't even remember last year's black friday sales and we are two weeks out and barely have any news on what is being offered. I'll probably do something crazy like not really buy anything this year.

The biggest advantage (or value) of Bitcoin/crypto currencies is that it's not traceable as it's not government-backed currency so yeah, it's perfect for criminal activity. This is not some sort of conjured fiction--it's frequently talked about and reported on. Why do you think the billionaires love it?

You're moving the goal post every where now and just committing safeties.

You linked a news story reporting on money laundering that just says what everyone knows: That there is money laundering in crypto. It does not assert, nevermind demonstrate, that bitcoin " literally exists for money laundering, human trafficking, and all sorts of other vices."

Marvel Rivals is currently at the center of a money laundering case and we all know that it's far from the only Live service game to get in trouble for it. That doesn't mean all, or even the majority of live service games exist as laundering schemes.
