These things are planned and set well in advance. So there really isn't still time. I think the difference with Spider-Man is Sony is pushing the bundle, so that's there's that focus on Spider-Man. Plus Target just had it on sale 5 days ago for $40. My point was there has been precedent in the past that games released at the end of October/early November have gotten a modest discount during Black Friday. It doesn't always happen for everything, but there is precedence of high profile games getting discounted still. That's why I said RDR2, while unlikely, still had a slim chance of it being a part of the ads.

I don't know what other major vendor, other than Gamestop or Amazon as aforementioned, would be dropping the price on it. When I said it's still time, I meant in the sense that not every retailer has been accounted for yet, so I articulated what I meant poorly. But, we already know that Target, Bestbuy and Walmart haven't and you'd 'figure' one or all of them would have. Which circles back to my point that I expect something like COD, or Assassins Creed, or your dime a dozen 2k sports title to be discounted. They're regurgitated every year. There isn't a Red Dead title popping up every year for everyone but day zero diehards to basically say 'meh, another Red dead title. It'll be $40 on BF' like the aforementioned games. We'll see soon enough, I suppose.

I don't think it's happening given who is left. I'm saying before anything was unveiled, I think there was a slight chance like 5% probability that it could happen. Highly unlikely, but not out of the realm of possibility given the precedent of the past. Now that Target, Walmart and Best Buy are out, that probability is about 0% now given who is left. I'm not arguing someone may still do it. Here's another example; when the PS4 Pro launched, it was assumed there would be 0 chance of there being a deal on Black Friday which was like two weeks later. However, there was a deal on it.

I'm figuring that Red Dead 2 is likely to end up going the GTAV route. It's gonna hold price for a loooong time( more than your typical AAA) before you start seeing any respectable deals on it. GTAV only now has reached that $20 price tag but it's already made an Everest-sized mountain of profit.

Kind of sad I don't see any Ni No Kuni 2. Was hoping that'd be a discount this year. Ah well

Wow, this year is, actually kind of terrible.

It's actually been a struggle to find games that actually came out within the past year, and even then, said games are $20 off at most.

What gives?

Amex has a "Spend $300 get $30 statement credit" offer for Best Buy.
Solid deal if you're getting an Oculus or a bunch of other things.

Still waiting for a Kuwami 2 sale. I bet either gamestop or PSN will have to be the one at this point.

I bought all other games I wanted already. Going to go big on 4K blu rays at Best Buy though, lots of good stuff on sale.

Well it seems there won't be a PS4 pro deal on this BF. XBX deals look good but is a system that lack exclusives as most of them I can already play them on my PC.

Thinking on picking the Switch though. That Kohl's deal look good. I can sell the headsets to get some money back, and I can use that 90$ Kohl's cash toward some Christmas gifts.

I've never seen anyone demand a turn based jrpg hit 60fps but anyway you prob cant go wrong with waiting on the Steam ver if your machine can hit full 4k/60fps. I have a powerful PC and PS4 pro but since I use my PC for other stuff I normally game on the ps4

Newegg is going to have the Asus Strix z930e for $199 on BF. I might grab that one if I decide to go with a 9700k/8700k instead of the ryzen.

Which store has better shipping between Walmart or Best buy? I'm planning to purchase the PS4 bundle but I have never purchased anything on neither of them.

What's the best price on 200+ GB SD Cards? I know someone mentioned Best Buy has 128 GB cards for $19.99 right now, but I'd like to upgrade from 128 GB to 200+ if I can find one at the right price.

$40.99 on Amazon right now for 200GB. Looks like the 256GB was $54.99 but has gone up to $59.99. 400GB is $110.

I'm kind of tempted by that Astro Bot PSVR bundle, except that I have the launch bundle. I was thinking that the cost of those games separately are $80, which brings the cost down to $120 for the headset. Other than the new breakout box and the headphone jack, is there anything different with the hardware? Does it drift as bad as the launch version?

For everyone that has bought tv's around Black Friday, if the model I'm looking at isn't listed in any ads, am I better off just going ahead and getting it or holding out just in case there's some random deal for $50-100 off? I'm looking specifically for the TCL 6 series since it's got really good gaming reviews.

So tell me Era, am I better off trading in my PS4 now or waiting until BF? Gamestop will take about 2 hundo for my old ass PS4, and I'm not sure it'll get much better than that. But I haven't kept up with deals on PS4s at all since I got mine at launch.

I stand to be corrected, but I'm guessing if Gamestop hasn't announced any BF trade-in deals you may as well trade it in now. $200 for a non-Pro model is a hell of a trade-in considering Sony is bundling a slim with Spidey for that price.

after selling my Xbox (GameStop had a promo in March that netted me $250 for it) I kinda want one still for BC and FH4 but $199 idk.

I saw OG Xbox One for $150 in GS Pro Day sale and that's almost there.

I don't expect it until 2020 but I'd buy a used OG model Xbox One for $99. I'll hope for that in GS's BF ad but not hold my breath

The best way to defeat your enemy is to learn everything you can about them

So I looked at last year's black Friday deals to get into the mind of these distorted souls

https://blackfriday.com/ads/black-friday/gamestop

Compare and contrast to the current market

The biggest take away for me is that I'm gonna go trade in my X1S tmrw for $175 since it doesn't appear they do any trade in deals during BF.

I'll be banking big time on them offering a switch bundle, and for the love of God I hope I can get it with gray joy cons

So is the Target B2G1 deal still on? Because it seems like the only kind of savings I can get out of buying RDR2, Civ Vi Switch, and Spiderman or Diablo Switch on Black Friday.
