Get ready to Black Friday: A list of this week's best videogame deals  screenshot

Black Friday is just three days away and all the retailers are offering some great deals. Dale brought you news of the Sams Club Wii Bundle deal yesterday and Nick showed off the new DS Bundles that are being released just in time for this sales event. But there's plenty of more deals at all the major retailers.

Hit the jump to see what I think are some of the best deals from all the videogame retailers. 

The best of Wal-Mart:
Guitar Hero I and II Bundle - $39.82
PS2 with two controllers and ATV4 - $129.00
All 2008 Sport Games dropping to $19.99

The best of Target:
Call Duty 4 For Xbox 360 Or PS3 - $48.00
Heavenly Sword (PS3) - $48.00

The Orange Box for XBox 360 - $48.00
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground for XBox 360 or PS3 - $38.00
XBox 360 Wireless Headset - $48.00
PSP with five UMDs for $169.99. 

The best of K-Mart:
Half Life 2: The Orange Box (X360) - $39.99
Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - $39.99
Guitar Hero II Bundle For XBox 360 - $59.99

The best of KBToys:
A bunch of the last-gen stuff is all 50 percent off. These are the only two that caught my eye though:
Beyond Good and Evil (PS2) Sale Price: $10.00
Madden NFL 2004 (Xbox) Was: $39.99 Sale Price: $20.00 [Editor's note: L. O. F*cking L]

The best of Best Buy:
Xbox 360 with Guitar Hero 2 bundle - $349.99
Sony 46" 1080p LCD HDTV with free PS3 80GB System with MotorStorm and Home Theater Installation - $1999.98
PS3 80GB with MotorStorm and five free Blu-Ray movies -$499.99
The Orange Box (PC) - $24.99
BioShock (PC) - $24.99

The best of ToysRUs:
All Xbox and GameCube games are 50% off
Playstation 2 w/3 Free Games - $129.99

The best of Circuit City:
Nintendo Wii - Super Mario Galaxy Video Game - $34.99
Nintendo DS Lite w/Zelda Game - $139.99
Nintendo DS Lite w/Nintendogs Best Friends Game - $139.99
Sony Playstation 3 40GB Console w/Free Controller & 5 Blu-Ray Movies - $399.99
XBox 360 Pro w/Free Wireless Controller & Two Games - $349.99

The best of FYE: 
Playstation 2 System $99.99 ($129.99 - $30 Mail-In Rebate)
Xbox 360 Premium System Bundle $419.97 ($469.97 - $50 Mail-In Rebate - comes with Forza 2 and Marvel: UA)
New Nintendo DS Bundle $129.99 ($149.99 - $20 Mail-In Rebate - The new bundles)

The best of Sam's Club:
Wii bunle with extra Wiimote, Nunchuck, and Mario Party 8, Brunswick Bowling and Super Paper Mario - Around $500ish.

This is just the ones that I thought were really good as far as the deals go. For a more in-dept list of all the deals, then check out BlackFriday.info and our pals at CheapAssGamer for a full list of everything. Also, check out Gizmodo for a list of all the good tech deals.

I may have to go to Kmart for the Orange Box, didn't know about that deal. I'm still debating if I should get a DS Lite, I hate looking at my old bulky one.

Walmart's Guitar Hero deal seems pretty nice, though I don't know if I really want to fight my way through the crowds for it.

I'm guessing these deals are only good for Friday, sadly.

Is that GH1+2 "bundle" just the 2-pack of games? I can't see them actually including a guitar at that price.

Would you like to go see a mooovie?

I am feeling fat...And sassy.

Anyways, Gun is available for Xbox 360 for 5 bucks at Best Buy Friday and Saturday only.

My purchase this year was a 30gb Zune for 100 bucks. It was listed at Office Max, and it's the brown one only but I looked it up and ordered it off the internet so I could wait in front of Best Buy instead of crappy Office Max. Now I just need a few cheap dvds and my Black Friday shopping is done.

Black Friday is a conspiracy. Destructoid, Microsoft, and Fox are all in on it. They're the reason why all reviews are wrong, stupid, and paid off. It also caused 9/11.

</retard tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorist>

Ah -- I'm getting memories of my Elementary school Christmases. You know, rushing that Christmas tree at 12 AM Christmas day. Oh, to long for the good old days.

P.S.
We didn't do the traditional White Christmas where you wait for Santa to come in the middle of the night, and open your presents in the sun risen morning.

I'm actually pretty let down of this years Black Friday. There really isn't too much. I think the Toys R Us thing is a pretty big deal but that's about it.

I also read somewhere that KB was doing buy 1 get one free via Cheap Ass Gamer. True or not, we hardly have anymore here. :/

Also, where did you find that all 08 sports titles are going to be 19.99 at wal-mart? As far as I can see, it's only going to be PS2 08 sports games.

If I'm not mistaken, I've read elsewhere that KB Toys is doing buy one get one on their entire game stock.

I got The Simpsons game from Shopko for 27$... Shopko needs to be on this, they're so cheap on games for some reason.

Does anyone know if Best Buy or Target still price match on Black Friday? I want to get Super Mario Galaxy for 34.99 but it's only sold that cheap at Circuit City, and I'm not sure they'd still price match. :/
