If you are like most of us, then you are a cheap, money-grubbing bastard looking to stretch a razor thin budget to fuel your crippling gaming addiction. For us, Black Friday not only marks an opportunity to recover from a turkey hangover, but it also serves as a day to save a mint on our favorite consoles, games and accessories.
This year’s Black Friday winner appears to be Walmart, which is offering three major hardware deals at significant discounts. Leading the way, the retailer will tempt hardcore gamers with the best Playstation 3 bundle offered to date. The deal includes two titles, Infamous and Batman: Arkham Asylum, and a Blu-ray of critically acclaimed The Dark Knight, all at the standard PS3 MSRP of $299. Other deals include a Nintendo DS Lite for $98, and a pitiful Xbox 360 Arcade bundle that includes the Madagascar 2 game and DVD.
On the software side, Target has a nice promo where select new titles will come with a free $10 gift card good for use on a future purchase. Titles in on the deal include Assassins Creed II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, both for the 360 and PS3. Rounding out Target’s list of offerings, the company has marked down the new Need For Speed: Shift to $37.
Finally, parties willing to endure the angry masses chasing Best Buy’s TV and laptop deals can snag PC copies of Bioshock and World of Warcraft for just $4.99.
Not man enough to brave the crowds at the crack of dawn? Don’t fret. You can always cruise Icrontic’s Newegg and Amazon
