We have already seen the best gaming deals for Black Friday courtesy of Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, GameStop and more. Down below you’ll find a handy list pointing out the best prices of the year and where to get them.
This year’s hottest console bundles will be the PS4 Slim and the Xbox One S, as expected. There are several solid deals on both available from all of the major retailers. You’ll find the best options listed below, but be sure to hit up Amazon (and follow us on Twitter) from Thursday right through the weekend to make sure it hasn’t dropped some of its own bundle options. It will basically be a matter of add-ons when it comes to which option is best for you. If the specific add-on titles/controllers interest you then go for those bundles, but if there are particular games you would rather own, the gift card options are likely best. Outside of that, all console bundles will be at least $50 off at just about all retailers including Amazon, so you really can’t go wrong if the doorbusters go out of stock on you.
We are seeing loads of all-time lows on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One games (along with some Wii U and 3DS deals). We have listed some of the most popular titles of the season along with where to get the absolute lowest price next week. Keep in mind, stock will be limited on most cases for these deals and many other retailers will have the same games listed for just slightly more. You should also be sure to double check Amazon’s listing on the titles you are most interested in as we are expecting the retailer to be price matching on many of them. Head below for all our top picks:
