Finding the best PS3 deals on Black Friday

by Andrew Yoon { Nov 21st 2007 at 12:00PM }

Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in America. Coming the day after Thanksgiving, it heralds the beginning of the Christmas shopping season, and the biggest sales of the year. PS3 fanboys, as you start getting ready for Thanksgiving, let's look at some of the best deals for you to take advantage of:

Buying a New PS3:

Don't forget to check out Blu-ray Savings to get five free Blu-ray movies by mail.
Wal-Mart is offering ten free Blu-ray movies of your choice with the purchase of an 80GB PS3. Deal begins at 8AM on Saturday, November 24th.
BJ's Wholesale Club is giving a $100 instant rebate on all their PS3 bundles from Friday-Sunday.
Meijer is giving a free game with purchase of any PS3 and any wireless controller.
Circuit City is giving away an extra SIXAXIS controller with purchase of the 40GB PS3.
Best Buy is giving away a copy of NBA 2K8 and Open Season on Blu-ray with purchase of the 40GB PS3.

For the rest of you that already own a PS3 system, the best software deals are after the break.

Best Software Deals:

GameStop has Virtua Tennis 3 for $20.
Best Buy has Madden 07 for $10.
Circuit City will give you a $10 gift card for buying Assassin's Creed or Ratchet & Clank Future.
Target is offering NBA 2K8 and Pirates of the Caribbean (the game) for $28 each; and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground and NCAA 08 for $38 each; Call of Duty 4, Skate and Heavenly Sword for $48 each.
Sears is offering Spider-man: Friend or Foe and Transformers for $40 each; Skate and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for $50 each.
KB Toys is offering buy one get one free on all video games.

We'll provide another update later in the week as more deals become apparent. So far, this year's Black Friday isn't offering very good deals. Our pick? Target's cheap prices on Call of Duty 4 and Skate.

great deal in kb toys...too bad they don't sell ps3 games (nor 360)at least from where I'm from.

Amazon also sells PS3 for about $129, if it gets the highest votes, but there is only 1000 units available:

anyone know of good game deals?

OMG, I've just noticed that stores will open earlier than last year in Black Friday! Have you watched this news which show the stores' schedule for Black Friday? http://www.weshow.com/us/p/24241/earlier_black_friday Very useful... They also say
that 25% American will spend even more than last year in Black Friday. I'll certainly do! I can't wait to this day.

Count me in for the CC deal.

Question: The CC ad says that the bundle is an extra controller plus 5 blu-ray movies, are these in addition to the mail-in movies shown above?

alienclays @ Nov 21st 2007 4:16PM

gamestop is also doing the sixaxis for $20 and the blu-ray remote for $10

Anyone know if those deals will be available online? KB Toys is ~40 miles away from where I live...

EDR229 @ Nov 21st 2007 3:20PM

Most Wal-Mart stores don't even have 10 different Blu-Ray titles in stock, so how is that going to work?

Galley @ Nov 21st 2007 4:54PM

@EDR229
They're supposed to be bringing in a bunch more BD titles for the sale.

How about specials on games I can somewhat care about?

For those in Ontario:

Real Canadian Superstore is offering NO tax after 9pm on Friday and Saturday

So a $399 machine is effectively $347
and a $499 machine is effectively $434

PSP core would be effectively $146
Starwars/Daxter pack $173

To answer my own question, the five movies in the CC deal are from the mail-in deal. So the choice comes down to extra controller (CC) vs. NBA2k8 and Open Season (BB). I'll still probably go with CC.

I am definitely with you on that one Jeremy, I have finally decided to jump ship on the Ps3 40gig version and the extra controller would see lots of use with my friends for multiplayer games. I just wish that the movie selection was a little bit better...
