Well the 349$ X1 ACU bundle is not bad at all,my problem is that I am playing ACU on the PS4 right now...if they would have a SO bundle at that price,I would jump on that...

 

[RS4-]

Yeah, I see no value in the Xbox One ACU bundle because of the trash games packed with it. I'd go in if it was $250.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Does Apple typically do Black Friday deals? I'm looking into getting a retina iMac soonish.

They generally don't do deals of any kind, really. Best you'll get would be a refurbished item directly from them, a (rare) maybe $100 off sale at Future Shop or London Drugs, or a customer appreciation coupon for Staples.

I know my parents used one of those coupons for 10% off on an iPad, I assume you could use them on an iMac as well. No idea if there is a restriction, though.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I guess the deals are much broader than the FS/BB flyers indicate but I just have to wait until day of to see?

The flyer says things like "All Vizio TVs on sale" but then just shows the E model in the flyer even though there's an M model as well.

Yeah, not huge deals, but sometimes it works out about as well as the student discount.

Shoppers Mega Redemption has the Dualshock 4 at $40, the Wii U at $280, the 3DS XL at $170, and the XB1 with Kinect and Forza at $450 with a gift card (can't see the amount) and 10,000 points back.

Should've waited to get a Wii U. :-\

That's not bad. I'm happy I got my WiiU anyways. Lol

You want a video game console for $250 a year after it was released at $500.

OK THEN

 

[kennah]

YMMV but I saw the Mario and Luigi wii u bundle for 250 at Shoppwrs

 

[nobodyshero]

I just realized that the Ouya hasn't been on Amazon's top seller list for a couple months. Their contract must have ended

 

[zephervack]

Many have answered, but I will add a bit. First of all, Walmart is the one eating the cost here. Clearly MS is pushing the $349 price point for boxing day, and Walmart is kicking in the gift card as a differentiator.

Secondly, the $50 gift card does not cost Walmart $50, it's less. It's money that must be spent back at Walmart. They probably have analyst working for them that calculated the average profit on $50 worth of merchandise, and the average amount that people over spend their gift card and use real money. So while you see $50 in value, it may only be a $30 cost to Walmart. That's why you won't see a $299.99 console.

It's not MS that's dropping that extra $50, it's wal-mart. They're the ones eating the cost of the gift cards, and they're doing it to compete with other stores. If MS dropped the price to $299 then stores would still be offering gift cards, because the point is to make you choose wal-mart over something else. That's why you might see some stores, instead of offering a gift card, will offer a free game instead.

$350 is the sale price, and the gift card is the loss leader to get you into the store.

The GC has nothing to do with MS. If MS wants to sell the X1 for $300 they can, but then Walmart could still offer the GC if they wanted to. Plenty of stores do this, and it has nothing to do with the product they are packaging it with. They just want to give you a reason to come back to the store later.

MS can do whatever they want, maybe they just don't want to.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the responses, exactly the kind of insight I was looking into this stuff , you guys never disappoint.

So, with most of the Black Friday flyers out, it looks like Future Shop is the only retailer doing (questionably) extensive Blu-ray sales. Have I missed anything?

Walmart seems to have a bunch but it won't be clear till the sale starts I guess

I forgot the email associated with my Nintendo Network ID so that took awhile to figure out. Downloaded a few demos from the eShop (seemed quite slow, maybe it was multi-tasking) but just ended up playing 3D World haha.

Cineplex store has a countdown to Black Friday, so expect something. Right now you get 2 free movie tickets with a $29.99 purchase, if you can find something worth buying that's not overpriced, but assuming there's a good sale on Friday that could be very worthwhile. Also, you can pay with Paypal there for the 5% cashback promo going on right now.

 

[oreomunsta]

Does anybody know whether the XO Unity bundle comes with the physical copies of the games, or download vouchers? My gut says it's DL =[

Didn't a bunch of people here have a lot of problems with them during their last sale?

 

[Yaranaika]

$30 for Sunset Overdrive at Real Canadian Superstore this weekend.
NO TAX!

pretty sure they're DL codes. that's why you saw a rush websites offloading Black Flag and Unity keys for Xbox when Unity came out.

 

[The Elite]

Someone give me a Hyrule Warriors deal already.

 

[FonkyByNature]

Does anyone know how much the Kinect XB1 Ass creed gonna be ? My guess 450$ ?...

 

[Razdek]

Yeah, I see no value in the Xbox One ACU bundle because of the trash games packed with it. I'd go in if it was $250.

You can just sell the codes for them and probably get $50-70 for it to bring the cost down even further.

 

[oreomunsta]

Bummer. I won't be disappointed in playing Unity, but I would have rather put that value into MCC or SO

Buy an XO at Target this Fri, get gift card, buy HW, return XO, HW for $20?

 

[Cake Boss]

Do we know the Amazon.can black Friday offerings?

 

[zephervack]

So I need to buy a good power supply soon and was wondering what is the best day/place to get it?

Would it be this friday or next monday? NCIX or MemoryExpress or something else?

 

[Black Republican]

4k tv deals are cool. but what software /networks etc actually uses the resolution?

Pretty sure you would need to return the Gift Card too.

There's no way the reecently released Ghibli Movies will be part of that, will they?

 

[Lostconfused]

Hopefully Cineplex does another heavy discount + ticket like last year. Bought a ton of blurays that time, still didn't watch half of them lol.

Hope they do it again too

Amazon.com has Shadow of Mordor bundled with the Extended Bluray set of LoTR for a ridiculous price today:

http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_427060682_4?ie=UTF8&node=10339047011

It ships straight from Amazon, so the Canadian shipping is reasonable. I had neither, so I've officially made my first Black Friday season purchase. : D

Damn. If I didn't just buy Mordor I would have totally been in on that. Wouldn't mind a fresh book copy of the series too.

Any PS3 deals on Black Friday? My hard drive just crapped out and it appears that the console itself has a problem too.

Does anyone know if Target will pm Wal-Mart's $25 Evil Within on Boxing day? $25 vs $30 is not that much of a difference, but it will save me a trip since I plan to buy Infamous at Target.

 

[Lexxism]

Future Shop and The Source are not correct links.

Thanks for that. I didn't notice that the FS and Source BF flyers are not yet up in that site.

 

[bremon]

Was really hoping for a better deal on Mordor from FS. Oh well, relaxing at home isn't th worst place to be on a busy shopping day.

I only watched one of the 3 lol.

Nothing good for PS4 other than bundles, bundles, bundles.

I just want a sale on the basic console.
