Been awhile since anybody has posted. Guess I might as well put something up here. Well, in case you haven’t noticed the holidays are right around the corner. And of course, since it’s that time of year again, that can only mean one thing: Absurdly good deals on the day after Thanksgiving. Now personally, I’m a pretty big Black Friday shopping guy. I tend to get up early, and see what I can get without camping out (I actually had to just recently do that for the Xbox deal I mentioned a few weeks ago…). Generally, I’m able to score a decent amount of cheap games and DVD’s, as well as picking up a few things for friends/ family members for the Christmas season.
So anyway, since I’ve been wasting countless hours scouring the Internet for shabbily taken phone camera pics of Black Friday ads, I figured I’d save you the pain and anguish, and post some of the better deals right on here.
So sit back, relax, and make a note or two of the deals that interest you.
Note: An “*” means this is a hot deal, and will sell out FAST. Also, the more asterisks you see, the hotter the deal is.

Okay, that’s all for now. In a few days I’ll post more deals on some other stuff. In closing, here’s a quick tip that you should all know:
READ THIS: Wal-Mart, Target, and if I’m not mistaken, Best Buy all price match other ads on Black Friday. So basically, if you don’t feel like camping out for something, there’s a chance you may be able to get the same item for the same price, at a different store. Just be sure you have the actual ad for the item you are wanting to price match. I’m not for sure on this, but a lot of times stores won’t match ads from online, and they NEVER price match Internet prices. So just to be sure, pick up a Sunday paper on the 22nd to be prepared.
I’ve just been informed from multiple sources that this weekend (starting Saturday), Walmart will be selling an Xbox 360 Arcade edition for the normal price of 200 dollars. However, they will include a 100 dollar gift card along with the purchase. That’s almost like getting a brand new Xbox 360 for a 100 dollars. Now of course, the Arcade edition of the Xbox 360 doesn’t come with a hard drive, but if you really wanted to, you could take that 100 dollar gift card and purchase a 60 gb hard drive for 89.99 plus tax. Or if you wanted to be really thrifty, you could look online for a refurbished hard drive, as those will only run you about 30-50 bucks. Either way you are virtually getting an Xbox 360 Pro for around 150-160 (compared to the normal 300 dollar price tag). This is an awesome deal for Christmas, and if you have been thinking about picking up an Xbox 360, now is definitely the time to do so.
TL;DR (too lazy; didn’t read) version: Walmart is selling an Xbox 360 Arcade for 200 dollars, and will also include a 100 dollar gift card upon purchase starting this Saturday until some time next week.
