So looking for clarification...

BB has this on their site

What shopping events will Best Buy have this holiday season?

Black Friday isn't just one day this year — it's months long. This year's Black Friday Ad is a BestBuy.com ad, and we posted it on Thursday, October 27. You can find select Black Friday Ad offers every day at BestBuy.com/blackfridayadavailabletoday. Hundreds of deals from the ad will also be available on the dates below:

  • Nov. 5–8: The Wish List Sale
  • Nov. 11: The Treat Yourself Sale
  • Nov. 12–14: Our Coolest Deals Sale
  • Nov. 16–17: Early access to thousands of deals from the Black Friday Ad, for My Best Buy members only
  • Nov. 22: Nearly all Black Friday deals become available
  • Nov. 26: New offers available on Thanksgiving Day on BestBuy.com
  • Nov. 27: Shop online or in our store (limited in-store capacity) on Black Friday
  • Nov. 28: Cyber Deals kick off


----------

However the Switch deal they have is listed to be "Available on 11/22"


Lame :(

AhI see now. It's been tough to figure until now what deals where when. I'm waiting on Ghost of Tsushima's sale. If I actually get my PS5 at launch it's going to sit for a few days with no new game until that arrives. I know $20 is nothing but I just can't bring myself to buy something knowing a price drop is around the corner lol.

I have 5 Switch games that I got from other deals/discount certs/credit - oldest one being Super Mario 3D All stars and I don't have a switch - the wait is killing me 😫

No doubt! I was hoping Animal Crossing would be on sale but who am I kidding? My daughter's been playing that free AC Mobile Camp on mobile so I'm going to get her the real thing. Looks like Walmart at $50 is my best bet so far, but I'm still holding out just in case.

Damnit, just checked back to see if any sales were up yet and $20 Travis Strikes Again is already sold out at Best Buy. :(

For whatever reason Target doesn't ship Melody of Memory for switch to my location and Amazon doesn't have it in their B2G1 so I canceled my Valhalla preorder at best buy and re-preordered at Target. The Target preorder was about $10 cheaper and I used the B2G1 to get some Christmas gifts

Hopeful for some eShop card sales. Didn't see one in Best Buy's ad. Always nice getting a little discount on these. Got a few eShop only things I'm buying in December so I'm probably going to use up my remaining wallet.

I believe eShop cards are 10% off during Best Buy's Black Friday sale.

So in the last couple of days been buying/ordering stuff that I am planning to get for Black Friday.

I know some of the stuff may go on sale further discounts in the future possibly through other stores and whatnot but I just wanted to make sure I have everything in time.


This is what I bought so far.


-Fire Emblem Warriors (SW) - Amazon - $27
Paid $0 due to Amazon gift credit

-Pokemon Sword (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Paid $15 due to the mystery certificate that gave me $10 plus $15 of extra BB Certs

Super Mario 3D All Stars - Amazon - $60
-Technically not a BF type of purchase, bought this back in September but only paid $5 due to the combination of a $10 refund Amazon gave cause the game went down to $50 plus I had $45 worth of Amazon credit that I used at the time

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild - Amazon - $45
-Paid $38 due to some Amazon credit that I had left

-New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Yoshi's Crafted World (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu (SW) - Best Buy - $45
-Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (SW) - Best Buy - $45

-PNY 256 GB USB Thumbdrive - Best Buy - $25


Planning to get
-Fire Emblem Three Houses (SW) - Best Buy - $35
-Mario Tennis Aces (SW) - Best Buy - $35
-The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Luigi's Mansion 3 (SW) - Best Buy - $40
-Yakuza Remaster Collection (PS4) - Best Buy - $25
-Pro controller + Super Mario Odyssey (SW) - Walmart - $100
-Nintendo Switch + Mario Kart 8 Deluxe + 3 months of NSO - Best Buy - $300


Gonna be an expensive year, probably the most I've paid for a BF video game wise (excluding setting up my gaming PC last year and my 4K TV /w sound system and theater sofa set for my media room the year before that).

I've been checking here, CheapAssGamer, Slickdeals, Brickseek, Deku Deals and PSPrices whenever Switch games went on sale.

Man, doesn't look like 13 Sentinels is going on sale anywhere, does it? Very much want to play that game but it came out at an inconvenient time.

GameStop released their Black Friday Ad

So the deals are similar to Best Buy when it comes to Switch games

Except for Pokemon let's go but eh...I've had bad experiences buying from GameStop where they tried to sell me a used or open game as a new game so I don't mind paying what I did for my copy...

Debating Wonderful 101 for $25. Was hoping for $20, but if it's on PS4 as well & OP Pirate Warriors 4 isn't on sale for less than $30, may just get that.

I keep feeling tempted by Jump Force but then I remember not enjoying the beta.

For Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I'll be getting those new Sony Wireless headphones. I can't wait.

Not really familiar with price matching trends, especially in terms of matching GameStop, but I wouldn't be surprised if it got at least some kind of price cut, it's still at $60 over there apparently

Heh, I guess you guys already know but GameStop is out. I've updated the spreadsheet for the games, but I still have to do the accessories and I have to update the OP. But at least the spreadsheet has probably the most important info for now.

Thanks!

I'm guessing Target/Walmart's deals will be similar to BB/GS and not much different.


Edit: You have Super Mario Maker 2 listed twice.

Awesome thank you for the great work. Any digital game sales? Or nothing and it's all discs at all retailers? And any chance at filters on the spreadsheet? I can do a temporary one, but not sure everyone knows how to do that.

Also, live already, Costco has $100 PSN/Live cards for $90 digitally. In stores it is 2 $50 card bundles so you can gift them separately.

Okay, now OP is updated with the full list from GameStop. Let me know if I made any errors. I also updated the spreadsheet again with some stuff I noticed I missed while updating the OP.

There's a few, but they're only on Xbox One/Xbox Series S|X so far.

What kind of filters are you looking for? I just did a simple one where you can sort by platform and an automatic highlight of the lowest price.

Title and platform would be key for people looking for a handful of titles only, rather than seeing the whole list all the time. And disc/digital is important now that we have discless consoles. Like this:

It essentially lets you create a "wishlist" view of criteria given how giant the overall chart is going to be.
