Meh only thing I'm interested in is the PS3 controller.

They should have Black Friday deals on Wii U's.

Then again, I'm sure they like having space in their store not filled by customers.

I gotta say, the 360 deal is appealing. I already have Skyrim for the PC and I already have a 360 (I could sell it), but I want Forza 4 and I want to try a COD game for once. Gonna pass on it though, as most good wheels aren't compatible with the 360 and it'd require buying a new one exclusively for it.

Don't buy the PS3 controller. It's garbage according to Amazon. It's a third party product and the buttons really suck.

Most of these deals suck, and can be bought at the same price or cheaper year round. Disappointing.

360 is miiiiine.

*scans the list*

Bleh, bleh, and bleh.

All of that crap certainly isn't worth plowing through thousands of desperate shoppers >.>

I'm actually thinking about going black friday shopping with my sis this week actually. I've only been on the working end of this in retail. Never actually got to experience the shoppers rush viewpoint :D

Third party?

Oh come on man why'd it have to be third party.

Not sure what you mean.

Third party controllers aren't made by Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/whatever, so they range from crap to excellent. This one happens to be crap. There are really good ones though that I would buy over the official ones if I cared about console gaming.
