Black Friday Snowball Effect

By wubb November 29, 2010 2 Comments

I wasn't really planning on buying any video games this Black Friday/Cyber Monday... But a bunch of deals popped up I couldn't resist.

Everything is Xbox 360.

$13

1. Splinter Cell: Conviction $13 from Gamefly. This one popped up a bit before Black Friday and it arrived in the mail Saturday. I feel like I'm already 2/3rds or more of the way through the single player game, but it's fun. Might do a bunch of the side goals/achievements afterward. Really enjoying the style and presentation of this game.

$29

2. Red Dead Redemption $29 from Amazon. Had my eye on this for a while and couldn't resist at this price. Probably inevitable that there will be a GOTY edition bundling the DLC, but I couldn't wait.

$14

3. Mass Effect 2 $14 from Target B&M clearance. Was planning to use this as a gift idea for a kind relative, but I think finding it on clearance was fate. :-D I loved the first game and read a few reviews that say this sequel has everything that is great about the original and fixes the flaws. Sold!

GOTY edition - $30

4. Borderlands GOTY $30 from Amazon. Just bought today, guess they are price matching Gamestop's Cyber Monday deal.

Also picked up Halo: Reach for $30 from Amazon, but that is a gift for a relative - I already own a copy.

I'll probably use Assassin's Creed 2 as a gift suggestion now. I hate having someone buy me a video game for $60 when I can usually find a deal to bring it down to at least $50, it not $40, so using a game that is easily found for $20 as a gift idea works for my thrifty nature. And I have it on good authority that Fallout: New Vegas will be under my Christmas tree.

Also hoping to get a surround sound headset! If the 8 year olds who consistently pwn me in Reach could only see my setup...
