I bought Super Mario Galaxy for 35 bucks, took advantage of Gamestop's Buy 2 get 1 free used games for Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I also used a special offer at Target to get a Wiimote+Nunchuck with a free game (I gotta go redeem that...)

All in all, around 170 bucks.

Splosion Man for $2 was pretty sweet, as was my restraint in September being paid off by getting Halo Reach for only $30 from Amazon. Although probably the most momentous for me was FINALLY buying World of Warcraft. The month of free time I'm about to have between semesters and getting a $5 gift card for buying vanilla WoW for $4.99 was what it took to finally put me over.

I got up at 4:30 and went and got a Christmas tree and a shop-vac at home depot. Haha. All in all a pretty uneventful Black Friday. I did call my mom up and had her get me Halo: Reach from Walmart for $35. Later, it was on Amazon for $30 but oh well.

I've been watching Amazon all day but most of the deals have been for games I already own or can wait longer for.

Can... can I level with you? Nothing really tickled my fancy this time around. The 3D Dot Game Heroes deal looked sweet, but I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to bridge the gap for Super Saver Shipping.

All I got was a present for my brothers. Won't say which on the off chance they find this post.

I tried getting 3d Dot Game Heroes but was too late. Still debating if Phantasy Star Portable 2 is worth it.

I just bought Defense Grid; The Awakening and the Indie Clever Pack on Steam mostly for World of Goo which I still haven't played. I also grabbed Turtles in Time Re-shelled and 'Splosion Man on Xbox. Considering getting Monkey Island 2 while half price but I'll wait and see what the week has in store.

I'm not American so this is a pretty sweet set of deals.

So, it just happened to be my girl's birthday yesterday, and I got her a Kinect. I went through he'll for it too.

I underestimated the sales of the damn thing, but finally, after about 10 stores, I found one - the last one too.

I personally go out for the little things on Black Friday. However, this is what I scored:

1-3 Season of Big Bang for 13$ a piece
Season 20 Simpsons for 13$
God of War 1+2 FOR ps3 FOR 10$
Uncharted 1 for ps3 for 10$
7 inch portable rca digital and analog tv for 59$
Halo Reach for xbox 30$
Dragon age complete collection for xbox 35$
New Vegas for xbox 40$

Not bad for only showing up at opening and standing in line for 10 minutes at most.

No hauls for me, just helping other people with their own hauls. Thankfully no one got mad or mauled me to death. Seemed it was all Nintendo and MS stuff in my region, though, very few people asked about Sony stuff.

And the DS section was totally ravaged, as per usual.

My sister prolly got one of the best ps3 bundles and she got it late like 10:00 am (any bundle is not a hot sale this long in the life of said console) However, she got a ps3 slim standard with uncharted 2 and blue ray karate kid(right such a sweeter), second controller and a 50$ gift card, from Meijer.

@johnnyreb - You'd be surprised just how many parents don't even know about the 3DS. No one even asked about it, so it was quickly put out of my mind and I just focused on helping people with what they wanted for it.

DS will stick around for a while anyway, its got at least two years of software left in it and look how long people have held onto interest in playing Game Boy Advance games on the DS itself.

Got a new play & charge kit, Borderlands, the add-on pack, and Risen from Gamestop, and a toy for my kid from Fred's. The rest was all Blu-Rays: season 2 of Terminator: SCC and a retarded amount of $5 and $10 movies from Walmart.

Haha @ The Silent Protagonist - I was in Gamestop the other day and a father who was getting his kid a DSi for Christmas (even though the kid was wayyy too young to be getting one...hmm). He asked if there were special games that had to go into the DSi. The employee kindly told him that all DS games will work on the DSi. Then the father proceeded to ask "Yeah, but what about the games you play on the TV?"

:D

@ Epic-KxDtoid -- LOL Can't argue there! : ) I'm loving it on the small screen with smoothing enabled. This and FF VII are pretty much going to be locked on the memory card for good. The PSP was made for this.
