So, the US Federal Reserve will likely increase their interest rate on December 13/14. I guess if I'm going to buy any from the US, I need to do it before that date.

concerns about the dollar and pricing of the 7700k might have me in Canada Computers on Friday trying to put my new PC together. $370 for a 6700k is real tempting.

Yep and yep. My kids, 6 and 10 love it.

Careful though, once you go down that rabbit hole of collecting, there ain't no coming back.

Edit: if you're looking for a PS4 copy, I've got a starter set for sale. I only bought it for Supergirl.

Thank you both! I am looking for a PS4 copy but since it will be a gift I think I'd like to get a brand new one.
How much actual Lego building is involved? Kid likes to build things.

Unless I'm missing it, I haven't seen any Black Friday sales yet for Uncharted 4. A bit of a curious omission.

Not interested in digital, physical only.

Deals look to be decent overall, planning on picking up Doom, Gears of War 4, and maybe Horizon 4 and Titanfall 2.

Great price for the best single player campaign they've put out in years

Agreed, it was a fantastic campaign and I enjoyed Infinite Warfare's campaign more than Titanfall 2's and Battlefield 1's.

I am currently replaying it on Specialist which requires the use of health packs (no health regeneration) and your helmet can crack so you need to find new helmets and swap them out. Also if you get shot in the arm or leg it can cripple your walking speed and even leave you unable to shoot. Bullets can also ricochet off your gun and cause it to fall out of your arms starting a QTE to grab it before it falls to recover quicker, otherwise you have to pick it up off the ground.

It is a lot of fun and I really hope Infinity Ward continues that universe. The story and setpieces were amazing. It is also IMO the best PS4 Pro enhanced game. 4K at 60fps locked and Digital Foundry agrees. They can't even determine the resolution it is upscaled from to 4K checkerboard because it is such a clean image with no aliasing/jaggies.

I might actually put money down for a PS4 GTAV copy for $30.
And they've got a good deal on a Skylanders starter pack I need to buy for Xmas.

I hope this is online too, I'd hate to fight and struggle at the brick 'n' mortars.

Well roughly half of their retail space is those shitty funko pops.

Yup. I went to one recently, and literally a full wall (and these aren't massive stores to begin with) was dedicated to Funko Pop (which I will NEVER understand the appeal of), hoodies, and toys and board games.

I mean, it's clearly a sign of them doing what they have to to stay profitable, but it still sucks.

DOOM for 24.99 is nice. Everything else seems meh or on par with other retailers.

Not a single store put any older PS4 first party stuff on sale, so disappointed. PSN Flash Sale is my last hope and the bar is set pretty damn low/non-existant, Sony pls!!

Edit: Also, what is that XB1S deal on the front of the EB ad? Something about 299 for 500GB XB1S and RDR?

Stopped by EB last Friday to pick up Pokemon Sun and noticed the same thing.

Legit half the store I was at wasn't even games anymore.

Hmmm Pro Evo for $49.99 is the lowest I have seen it I think. I'll wait for the MS Store deals to go up as I have a $10 coupon from them.

Seriously. They've moved Vita games to the drawer so they can squeeze in some Sailor Moon figures and more blindbags.
Click to expand...

Same target audience and one of them must be selling better than the other.

Edit: My gf enjoys Sailor Moon yet she doesn't give a shit about all the vita waifu garbage so I may be wrong. I do have to ask them every time I wanna take a look at the vita stuff since it's usually nowhere to be found :-(

I automatically like being in a store less if I have to see those hideous Funko Pops everywhere I look.

It made Fan Expo painful.
