My son is somewhat of a gamer and here's what I've found out. Each brand of consoles have particular games that are only for that console. Halo for Xbox and God of War for Ps are 2 examples. So one of the first things is know the games you want to get. If your kid wants Halo you're looking for Xbox one/s. If Uncharted or God of War are the games that are must haves, PS is the way to go. The new games don't play right on the ps3. You need a PS4 if that's the console you like. Xbox One now that's it's been out for while has issues with the fan so it get's hot and cuts off. The old xbox 360's would freeze and you would get what they called the ring of death when it got to hot. The xbox one just cuts off. The xbox one s, as I understand it is suppose to have a better fan. You can address the getting to hot on the xbox one by hooking up a little fan and have it directly blowing inside the vents. Either way, PS4 or Xbox One S, there's suppose to be a new consoles out next year by each company which will out perform both current platforms. For me. I'm a Tetris and Mario fan. It's gamecube and Wii all the way.

"But, if you will go to the Amazon forum on this site, you can follow it a little easier." The question was asked in the Black Friday section, under store specific- Amazon, From the post perhaps there's another area on the site for Amazon?

Is there a lightening deal list? It seems like in years past, there was lists of say dvds and games and the days they would go on sale. Is it just me or is Amazon trying to make their deals more difficult to take advantage of?

Last year I purchased the Xbox 360 w/kinect and with the exception of 2 games, the Kinect isn't used. This year, I'll be purchasing the Xbox One for the Master Halo game and Forza 2. The kid has been playing the New Dragon Age game which was made for the Xbox one and PS4, but they did make a PS3 version. The game after playing it for a few hours causes the PS3 to screw up. The new games may come in the older platform, but they are made for the new.

Forza 2 $30 and Overstreet $40, I hoping $10 less for each. Should have done the Target b2g1F last week. I agree nothing to jump up about.

Target is the King of Black Friday. I'm one of those people who wants to make sure I have my must haves in hand. I've always had a good experience at Target on Black Friday/Thanksgiving. I like Target on Black Friday because Target will have specials like one year if you bought 2 bags of Hershey candy you got a Hershey ornament free, another year it was a teddy bear free with purchase and then another year a Hershey's candy dish. The items weren't advertised, but were available as in store bonuses. I like the extras you can't get on line.

I've done Black Friday at Target for years. They have printed maps that they hand out to those in line before the doors open. The employee normally asks you what you are looking for in particular and will point it out on the map. Normally there's many employees all over the place outside along with police. Once you're inside, an employee or 2 is with each of the special items handing them out. As things are sold and they have additional stock, it's restocked until it's sold out. Then they post a picture and sold out in that spot.

For sure 360 games do not work on Xbox One. The $379 bundle with the Halo Master plus another game is a good deal, but AC bundle for $329+ 30 gift card is also better. The Halo Master bundle is a .com offer. Target's AC bundle $329 plus $50 gift card is hot if you also have a Target red card which gives you another 5% off.

It says the ads rules. It would be nice if they listed, but I don't remember them ever listing. Could this be the year they offer on line? We can hope. There's no maps. The games are in cardboard stands on wrapped pallets. You have to get there early to walk around the store to find them. Then you stand by the pallets. I stuck up deals with other people so I would pick up the games on my side of the pallet they wanted and they would pick up the games I wanted on their side. Pallet was unwrapped I picked 4 copies of 6 games and they picked up the games on their side. We met around the corner and exchanged. If there were extras we just put them back. It worked.

Really! As if parking wasn't already bad enough. Sorry the place is congested and on Black Friday, people aren't interested in an agenda except getting what they are coming for.

Last year at the Walmart I went to, they had pallets everywhere. The pallets were wrapped and at each 2 pallets there was an associate assigned 30 minutes before Black Friday time. The door buster tvs, there was a line through the frozen food isle. I got there an hour early so I'm not sure what time they had started lining up. Not sure how the tvs were handled. I was at the video games. The opening time came and the associate started to unwrap. People started grapping, tearing the wrapping off and then grapping the games. It was a free for all. I was next to the furbie's which was a hot toy last year and it was the same as with the games. No way would I bring a kid to that. I was there for the games, but I'm not sure how it would work if you wanted different things. I have one of those smaller Walmarts near me, but I went to one of the bigger ones. When I was coming home, I saw the fire department and everybody standing outside at the smaller Walmart. They had so many people inside the fire department cleared the place. Must have been a zoo. Glad I didn't go there. I think Walmart being opened has made the whole Black Friday experience there worst. Now Target, they are the Black Friday kings. I go there every year. They are organized, have crowd control and all heads are on deck. No running or pushing. Great experience. I'm sorry, but in my opinion, kids don't belong out in the Black Friday crowd. Arrange something. It's wild for adults and no way should kids be in the mix. You are either standing outside in the cold and then people want to get in and get out. Please leave the sick, crying kids at home and if you hit me once with the stroller I'll be cool, but twice there's going to be a problem. It's not a weapon to clear the path.

I compose an excel spreadsheet of what I'm buying and the prices at different stores, print out the sheet and carry it with me to check it off. I see that might be good on a phone, but I don't carry one with me on Black Friday. No distractions, please. Although, I missed out on some alerts last year. I may have to rethink the no phone. I have the ads and coupons in my car. Unless I'm price matching, I don't take the ads in. Any price issue I may have, I'll deal with after the Black Friday rush and with customer service. Since the Thanksgiving openings, I'm do direct shopping. I know what I want, go in and get it and then move on to the next store. I'm up until 1 for on line shopping, up early cooking and then have just a couple of hours before I'm in line. I get the door busters and particular things on the list and call it a night. I'm up on the real Black Friday to do door busters and back by noon. There's 2 video games I'm after and if I can get them on line, I may skip Thanksgiving store shopping this year. I'll do the real Black Friday morning for things I haven't gotten on line.

Good to know. I'm hoping since the games are bundle into 1 release that means it has all the add ons included as well. The $379 Walmart Master deal includes another game, your pick, and 12 months live and it's a .com sale. The Black Friday ads so far are offering 3 months Live at 1/2 price, but no 12 months deals yet.

As I understand Halo Master, it's the past Halo releases plus the newest in beta form. Xbox One is not backwards compatible and that's their bread and butter game so they bundled their previous releases and the newest which is still in beta form into 1 game release- Halo Master Chief Collection. Although those past releases can be found for Xbox 360 as individual games, for Xbox One Halo Master Chief Collection is 1 game release.
