Black Friday 2017 is only a couple of days away now, and while it'll offer a wealth of great deals on some of this year's biggest game releases, many retailers will also have some slightly older titles at steep discounts. That includes The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, which you'll be able to pick up for cheap at various stores this Black Friday.
The PS4 and Xbox One versions of Skyrim Special Edition in particular will be on sale for half-off or more at some locations. You'll find the game for the cheapest price at Target, which will have it for $15. GameStop, meanwhile, will have the title for slightly more at $20, while Best Buy will sell it for $25. No deals on the PC version have been announced yet, but we'll update this story when they are.
If you'd rather avoid the crowds, you can also purchase Skyrim Special Edition at a discount digitally from the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Both have already begun their Black Friday sales ahead of the big shopping day, so you can download the game on PS4 right now for $20. Xbox Live Gold members will also be able to purchase it for $20, while those without a subscription will pay $24.
You can find the full list of Skyrim Special Edition deals below, which we'll continue to update as more Black Friday prices are announced. You can find the rest of our other Black Friday 2017 deals through the links at the bottom of this roundup.

Different retailers have their own sets of deals starting at different times and with varying bonuses--you have to do a lot of homework to keep things straight.

Below, you'll find a complete roundup of all of our big Black Friday coverage and some highlights from each. You can check out the individual posts for comprehensive lists of everything that will be on sale for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, 3DS, and PC. There's even a Wii U deal or two to be had.
More deals continue to be announced in the lead up to Black Friday, and some have already gone live. For instance, you can already pick up a $200 PS4 or a year of PS Plus for $40, $10 4K movies like Wonder Woman, and $39 PS4 or Xbox One controllers. Humble Bundle's fall sale has also begun, and we're expecting the Steam Black Friday sale to begin on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Xbox Live and PSN sales are ongoing, the latter of which will soon expand to include more games.
We'll continue to update these stories with the latest and best deals as we get more details. Expect plenty more, with Steam, GOG, Amazon, and other sales still likely to come as get closer to the big shopping day.

Black Friday 2017 Platform-Specific Deals
PS4
Sony's current-gen console will have a ton of deals this year--and a number of them are already live. You can already get a PS4 for $200, which is $100 off its usual price, but you'll want to wait for Black Friday if you're seeking the best possible deal, as you'll be able to get some bonuses for that same price. PS4 Pro drops to $350, DualShock 4 controllers are $40, and PSVR drops to as little as $200 (or $300 if you're interested in a bundle with a new game and the required camera). Some of the year's biggest games are also on sale, including Call of Duty: WWII for $40, Assassin's Creed Origins for $35, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for $20. And if you're in need of PS Plus, you can get it for cheap right now.
As with Sony's console, there is a wide variety of deals on Xbox One and its games and accessories. The cheapest options bring the console down to $190 with some added bonuses, depending on where you pick it up. Higher prices also introduce more bundles and free games, but (at least as of this writing) you won't find the new Xbox One X on sale. Xbox One controllers drop to $40 at their cheapest, while new subscribers can pick up a month of Xbox Live Gold and/or Xbox Game Pass for just $1. In terms of games, Forza Motorsport 7 drops to $29, Gears of War 4 can be had for $15, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus will be $25.
As a newer platform, Nintendo Switch doesn't enjoy quite as many deals as Microsoft or Sony's systems. The system itself will be in stock at many stores, based on its appearance in their flyers, but at a regular price. You will, however, find some accessories on sale, such as a $20 Joy-Con charging station. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's new Explorer's Edition drops to $49, while 1-2-Switch can be had for as little as $20. A variety of other worthwhile games, including The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Disgaea 5: Complete Edition will all be $20 each.
Nintendo's older platform doesn't get as much attention as it used to, thanks to Switch's dual console/handheld nature, but those in the market for one (or just looking to pick up some games) will still have some options this Black Friday. Nintendo will introduce a special new green Zelda 2DS system for Black Friday that comes with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for $80. Pokemon Sun and Moon will be available for $29 each, while Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia will go for $20.
Best Buy will have some of the best deals on games this Black Friday--but keep in mind that the 20% discount granted with Gamers Club Unlocked will not stack with Black Friday deals. That said, you can get an Xbox One S with Madden 18 and a free second controller for $230, or an exclusive Red Crystal DualShock 4 PS4 controller for $40. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard will be $20, while Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and The Evil Within 2 will each be $25. Additionally, Best Buy will have the best deal we've seen on Call of Duty: WWII, with a doorbuster deal dropping it to $40.
GameStop is often somewhat conservative with its deals, but it has some of this year's best Black Friday offers. It's throwing in a $50 gift card with the $200 PS4, and it's the only retailer we've seen (so far) to discount the PS4 Pro (bringing it to $350). It's also got some great prices on games, like Destiny 2 for $27 with a free Cayde-6 figure and Middle-earth: Shadow of War for $25. Additionally, it'll sell the Steam Link for a mere $5 and the GameStop-exclusive red Xbox One controller for $55.
Steam's annual Black Friday sale is underway in the form of the Steam Autumn Sale. There aren't any special daily or flash deals to worry about, instead providing about a week of PC game deals. You'll find Shadow of War and Nier: Automata for $36 each, Rainbow Six Siege for $7.49, Grand Theft Auto V for $30, Pyre for $12, and countless other games. You can also pick up a Steam Link for a mere $5 and nominate games for the upcoming Steam Awards.
Target has one of the best Xbox One S deals, throwing in a $25 gift card on top of the $190 price. Various Switch games are on sale, along with Resident Evil 7, Final Fantasy XV, For Honor, and Skyrim: Special Edition for $15 each. One of the bigger discounts on Call of Duty: WWII, dropping it to $45, can also be found at Target.
Xbox One and PS4 controllers will drop to $40 at Toys R Us on Black Friday, while Call of Duty: WWII will be $45. Destiny 2, NBA 2K18, and WWE 2K18 all drop to $35, and Persona 5 will be $30. The store will also be among those offering $190 Xbox One systems and $200 PS4s.
Walmart in many cases beats other retailers' prices, even if only by $1, which is still something. It's taking $50 off all Xbox One S bundles, so you'll be able to pick out just the one you want. Xbox One and PS4 controllers will be $39 each, including the Walmart-exclusive Crystal Blue DualShock 4. Walmart is also the only retailer we've seen with a deal on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, dropping its new Explorer's Edition to $49.
If you're looking for PC hardware, Newegg likely has you covered. Although GPU deals seem to be hard to come by, there are some decent options, such as the EVGA GTX 1060 for $180. The AMD Ryzen 7 1800X is just $320, while a 5 TB HDD is $120; alternatively, you can get a 500 GB SSD for $150. Other components and even game consoles and headsets are also on sale.
Amazon's proper Black Friday deals aren't yet live (nor have they been revealed), but the site has numerous games and accessories on sale already, along with virtually every other type of item you can imagine. Most notably, it's discounted the PSVR + camera bundle to $250, Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition and Civilization VI to $30 each, and WWE 2K18 to $36.
The Microsoft Store will have a variety of things on sale for Xbox One and PC fans, though in terms of specific games, we won't know exact pricing until Black Friday begins. However, there are a ton of different Xbox One bundles that are worth considering if you're in the market for the system. Many of these come with multiple free games of your choosing--and in many cases, those include new releases like Star Wars Battlefront II and Call of Duty: WWII.
The first portion of the PlayStation Store's Black Friday sale was fairly limited--it only included a select number of PS4 games, and it was only open to PlayStation Plus members. Non-PS Plus members gained access on November 21, when the sale expanded to include many more games.
Similar to the PlayStation Store sale, only Xbox Live Gold members had access to the Xbox Live sale until November 21. All of its deals are now live, and it includes a huge number of games across both Xbox One and Xbox 360 (including many backwards compatible titles).
Digital game sales are now underway on the Nintendo Eshops for Switch, 3DS, and Wii U. Deals on Switch games are fairly limited, and you won't find any on Nintendo's big first-party games, though you can pick up Puyo Puyo Tetris for $25 or I Am Setsuna for $24. On 3DS, you can grab Rhythm Heaven Megamix for $15, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for $12, or Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse for $30.
GOG has launched its Black Friday sale, which discounts hundreds of DRM-free computer games. That includes The Witcher 3's Game of the Year Edition for $20 and Oxenfree for $4, while Owlboy drops to $18.69. Those looking to really save some cash can pick up MDK for free, and by spending at least $15, you'll get a free copy of StarCrawlers.
EA's online storefront has its own Black Friday sale going on, discounting numerous PC games. Titanfall 2: Ultimate Edition drops to $15, FIFA 18 to $36, Battlefield 1 Revolution to $30, Battlefield 1's Premium Pass (for those who already own the game) to $15, and The Sims 4 to $10. The just-launched Need for Speed Payback is also discounted already, dropping to $40.
Those in the market for PC hardware have a variety of options at Micro Center, which has already taken its deals live. That includes both accessories (the G502 Proteus Spectrum RGB mouse is $60, while the MK270 wireless keyboard and mouse combo are $20) and components. RAM and storage--both of the SSD and HDD variety--are discounted, as are pre-built computers for those who don't want to deal with any of the fuss.
Kohl's may not be a store you think of when it comes to games or game hardware, but it may be your best option for certain things this Black Friday. That includes purchasing a PS4, as the $200 system comes with $60 in Kohl's Cash (which is basically a limited-time gift card). You can get $45 in Kohl's cash with a $190 Xbox One S, and PS4 and Xbox One controllers will drop to $40.
Costco has some premium bundles that me up your alley if you're interested in what's included. A $220 Xbox One S bundle comes with an extra controller and three months of Xbox Game Pass, while a $290 PS4 includes Destiny 2 and Call of Duty: WWII. Keep in mind that you'll need to be a member to take advantage.
Prior to Black Friday, the Humble Store has launched its big fall sale, which essentially functions as an extended Black Friday promotion. To start out, you can get Brutal Legend for free until November 22. If you're interested in something specific, there's a good chance it's on sale, with more than 1,000 PC games discounted. LA Noire: Complete Edition is $18, Project Coaster is $20, Resident Evil 7 is $30, and Hotline Miami is $2.50, among many other deals.
The Ubisoft Store's Black Friday sale includes not just digital PC games, but merchandise, too. On the game side, you can get recent games like South Park: The Fractured But Whole or Assassin's Creed Origins for $40 each, while Rainbow Six Siege goes for $20. On the other hand, you can get a South Park Mysterion figure for $40 or an Assassin's Creed canvas backpack for $48.
While we don't know what to expect from Amazon on Black Friday itself, the website's pre-Black Friday deals are already available. In the UK, that includes a £200 Xbox One S bundle with games like Shadow of War or Star Wars Battlefront II. The store is also among those to offer the UK's PS4 Pro deal.
As is to be expected from a store brazen enough to name itself Game, the UK retailer will have games on sale this Black Friday. Many of its offers are on pre-owned items, like a 500 GB PS4 for £150 and a 500 GB Xbox One for £130. In terms of new games, you'll find Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition for £25 and Divinity: Original Sin for £10.
Black Friday 2017 Retailer-Specific Tech / Movie / TV Show Deals
Best Buy
Best Buy has a lot of TVs on sale, though as always, you'll want to do some research before jumping on any deals (there's a lot to consider, especially if you'll use it for gaming). Numerous movies will be discounted as well, including 4K Blu-rays of Wonder Woman, Fate of the Furious, and John Wick for $10 each.
Like Best Buy, Target has a number of TVs on sale, although many of these skew toward being lower-priced models, if that's what you're looking for. A number of Amazon devices, including the new Echo Show, are on sale, and you'll be able to find cheap Blu-rays--including Kong: Skull Island, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man Homecoming, and Logan for $10 each.
Walmart, too, has a variety of sub-$1000 TVs on sale, as well as Google Chromecast for $20 and the Netgear Nighthawk router for $89. A variety of Blu-rays can be had for $10, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Baby Driver, and Logan. $6 Blu-ray options include the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Deadpool, and John Wick.
Black Friday 2017 is still a few days away, but you can already grab some retailers' early cheap deals. If you're in the US, check out all the PS4 Black Friday deals or a bunch of Xbox One Black Friday deals; otherwise, scroll down to see Amazon's early Black Friday UK deals--including games and console bundles for PS4 and Xbox One.
Amazon is also offering the new PS4 Pro deal--which bundles a 1 TB PS4 Pro with Call of Duty: WWII and FIFA 18 or Gran Turismo Sport for £300--as well as the current PlayStation Plus offer. That bags you 12 months of PS Plus for £37.50.
When it comes to games, Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition is £25 on PS4 and Xbox One, while Destiny 2 is down to £29 on both platforms. We also have our first cheap Nintendo Switch game, Monopoly, which is £20. You can also grab FIFA 18 Ultimate Team points at 10% off right now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Some of Amazon's deals are exclusive to Prime members, while others are only good for a few hours. The company is adding more deals multiple times per day; check out the sale page here or keep an eye on GameSpot, where we'll keep you informed of any great deals.
Black Friday is the best day of the year to find discounts on tons of games, consoles, and accessories, and this year, retailers will offer some very enticing discounts on many of 2017's biggest releases. Among the games that will be on sale at various stores is Bethesda's acclaimed new shooter, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.
Despite only launching a couple of weeks ago, Wolfenstein II for PS4 and Xbox One will be 50% off (or more) at various retailers this Black Friday. The best deal in terms of price can be found at Best Buy and GameStop; both chains will have the game for $25. Walmart will sell the shooter for a couple of dollars more at $29, while Target will have it on sale for $30. No sales have been announced for the PC version just yet, but we'll update this story when they are.
You'll also be able to pick up a digital copy of Wolfenstein II at a discount ahead of Black Friday. Both the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store have the standard game on sale now for $30, while the Wolfenstein II Deluxe edition, which includes the Freedom Chronicles season pass, is available for $40. You can also pick up Wolfenstein: The Two Pack--which includes The New Order and its prequel, The Old Blood--from both digital stores for $15.
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus launched in late October to critical acclaim. In GameSpot's Wolfenstein II review, critic Kallie Plagge awarded the game a 9/10 and said that "satisfying Nazi-killing action bolsters its completely bonkers storyline in a way that only Wolfenstein can achieve."
You can find the full list of Wolfenstein II deals below, which we'll continue to update as more Black Friday prices are announced. For our complete coverage of all the other Black Friday 2017 deals, be sure to check out the links at the bottom of this roundup.

Black Friday is upon us. The annual shopping bonanza is coming up on Friday, and one of the games that will be on sale is Blizzard's hero shooter Overwatch. The Game of the Year Edition, which contains extra cosmetic items, is going to be about half-off.
Walmart appears to have the best deal this year, offering it on PS4 and Xbox One for only $29. Best Buy, Target, and GameStop will sell the shooter for $30.

Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition Black Friday 2017 Deals:
The biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday 2017, is quickly approaching, and those in the market for new games, consoles, or accessories will find a ton of discounts across every major platform. In particular, a huge selection of titles will be on sale at various retailers this Black Friday, including some of this year's biggest releases, such as Destiny 2.
If you're looking to pick up Bungie's popular shooter on either PS4 or Xbox One, you'll have a lot of options to choose from. Based on the Black Friday ads that have been released, the best price offer will be at GameStop; the game retailer will have the title for $27 with a free Cayde-6 figure. Elsewhere, Best Buy and Target will both sell Destiny 2 for $30, while Toys R Us will have it for $35. However, no sales on the PC version of the game have been announced so far.
If you'd prefer to get Destiny 2 digitally, you'll also find some sizable discounts on Bungie's new title in the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store. Both services have already begun their Black Friday sales, though at the moment only PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold members can take advantage of them. The standard version of Destiny 2 is available in both digital stores for $39. If you're also planning to pick up its DLC, you can purchase the game and expansion pass bundle for $67.49. Meanwhile, the Destiny 2 Digital Deluxe Edition (which also includes the expansion pass and other exclusive content packs) is available for $75. Those without a PS Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription will gain access to the sales on November 21.
Sales on the PC version have come online through Battle.net. Each version of the game is up to 35% off, bringing its prices in line with the digital console versions. This drops the standard edition to $39, the Expansion Pass bundle version to $67.49, and the Digital Deluxe Edition to $75 right now.
If you're still unsure if Destiny 2 is worth picking up, you can read more about it in our full Destiny 2 review. The game's first expansion, Curse of Osiris, is slated to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on December 5. Bungie offered some new story details and a look at other content from the upcoming DLC in a recent livestream. Additional streams for Curse of Osiris will take place on November 21 and 29.
You can see the complete list of Destiny 2 deals for PS4 and Xbox One below. We'll continue to update the list as more Black Friday ads and prices are revealed. You can also find all of our other Black Friday 2017 coverage through the links at the bottom of this roundup.

It's almost Black Friday, that wonderful time of the year when seemingly everything is on sale. This of course includes video games. And if you're looking for the newest Call of Duty game, numerous retailers will offer Call of Duty: WWII for a discount next week.
Based on what we've seen so far in terms of Black Friday ads, it appears Best Buy will have Call of Duty: WWII for the cheapest, offering it for $40. Walmart ($43), Target and Toys R Us ($45), and GameStop ($50) are also discounting the game on Black Friday. Those deals may not sound so great, but for a game that only just came out a few weeks ago, and one that is selling quite well at full price, any discount is notable. Black Friday Xbox Store and PlayStation Store sales are now underway for Xbox Live Gold and PS Plus members respectively, dropping the WWII Digital Deluxe Edition to $90. Those digital sales will open to everyone on November 21.
Call of Duty: WWII is getting strong reviews, with GameSpot scoring it a 9/10. It returns to the franchise's origins in World War II, beginning with a D-Day mission. Some of the actors featured in the game include Josh Duhamel from Transformers and Kingdom's Jonathan Tucker. And in multiplayer, that means no more super-powers or exosuits, but instead boots-on-the-ground only. The game also includes a Nazi Zombies mode that we quite enjoyed, along with a brand-new, larger-scale multiplayer experience called War.
You can check out a complete list of Call of Duty deals for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One below. We'll continue to update this as more Black Friday ads are revealed. Amazon, for instance, has still yet to announce anything, so there's plenty more to come. You can also check out all of our other Black Friday coverage through the links at the bottom of this post.

Black Friday 2017 is right around the corner, and we've gotten a look at the deals many retailers will offer this year. And while it initially seemed like there wouldn't be any deals for Sony's 4K-capable PlayStation 4 Pro, GameStop's ad has revealed it will be on sale for $350.
This is your best bet for getting a PS4 Pro at a discount this year. Your only other options are the regular $400 retail price at other stores or $450 for the special-edition Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II models, barring any surprise offers we haven't seen yet.
If you're not sure whether you should make the jump to the Pro, you can read our full PS4 Pro review. Author Jimmy Thang writes, "If you have a 4K HDR TV and are looking to buy a console, I'd definitely recommend the PS4 Pro. Even if you have a 1080p TV and are looking to buy a PlayStation, I'd still lean more toward the Pro. Yes, it does cost $100 more than the Slim model, but you get more ports, twice the storage space, more future-proof hardware in the event that you ever decide to get a 4K TV, and some games can look slightly better at 1080p."
For a complete roundup, see our full list of PS4 Black Friday deals. There are sure to be even more deals to come, while others may be unlisted for the time being, so check back with us in the lead up to Black Friday. For more, check out retailer-specific deals breakdowns through the links below.
A range of games from other publishers are on sale, too, including The Lego Movie Video Game, Watch Dogs 2, This War of Mine, Far Cry 4, The Division, Farming Simulator 17, Inside, and The Witcher: Wild Hunt. Go to Origin's website here to see all of the deals and find out what they cost in your local currency. The sale ends at 10 AM PT on November 28.
The American metal band Origin, which was formed in the late '90s--many, many years before EA launched its Origin platform in 2011--has also kicked off a Black Friday sale. You can see a full rundown of the band's discounted items here on their label's website. To date, EA has not partnered with the band Origin, which seems like a missed opportunity.
Black Friday itself is right around the corner; you can check out GameSpot's in-depth coverage of all the notable deals through the links below. Other big PC game sales includes those on Steam, the Humble Store, Ubisoft Store, and GOG.
Not content to just let retailers provide discounts on its own products, Ubisoft has launched its own Black Friday sale ahead of the big shopping day. In addition to dropping the price of many of the publisher's newest PC games, you'll also find deals on its older games and a variety of merchandise themed around those games, ranging from South Park figurines to Assassin's Creed clothing.
As for merchandise, you can pick up a South Park: Fractured But Whole figurine of Mysterion for $40 (down from $50) or a Coon tricycle for $60 (from $80). A Wildlands backpack can be had for $30 (from $60), Rainbow Six Siege figurines are $15 each (from $20), and an Assassin's Creed canvas backpack is $48 (from $60).
These prices are available from now until November 26; you can see everything on sale here. At least in the case of the games, you may want to do some comparison shopping--there haven't been a ton of deals on PC games announced so far, although GOG and the Humble Store have both launched their respective Black Friday sales. Steam is expected to do the same on November 22. You can check out all of our Black Friday coverage through the links below.
Sony UK is also discounting PS4 Pro consoles for Black Friday. Until the end of Monday, November 27, PS4 Pro bundles containing Call of Duty: WWII and either FIFA 18 or Gran Turismo Sport will cost £300. The company is also running promotions on PS Plus subscriptions for £37.50 and PSVR bundles for £250. For more Black Friday deals, check out all our roundups below.

At this stage, deals for PS4 and Xbox One consoles are looking pretty slim. Your only options from Game are a pre-owned original 500 GB PS4 for £150 or a pre-owned original 500 GB Xbox One for £130.

As with the Xbox Store, Sony has kicked off an early sale on the PlayStation Store ahead of Black Friday 2017. The sale was initially only available to PlayStation Plus members, but it has expanded to everyone and features even more games on discount. If you're a PS4 owner, there are some notable deals here. [Update: Beginning today, November 21, the PSN Black Friday sale is now open to non-PS Plus subscribers as well. In addition to that, many new PS4 game discounts are now available in the PlayStation Store. We've updated the list below with some of the most notable ones. Be sure to also check out the UK's own PlayStation Store Black Friday sale on PS4 games.]
This PSN Black Friday Early Access sale focuses exclusively on a selection of games for PS4--this isn't as extensive as the hundreds of games in the Xbox Store Black Friday sale. As with that one, many of these prices are not as cheap as what you'll find at physical retailers--you can find a full rundown on all the PS4 Black Friday game deals in our roundup. But if you prefer the convenience of digital, you will be able to save up to 40% off these games' usual prices.
Below, you'll find a list of many of the PlayStation Store deals that are currently available, or you can see them on the PlayStation Store website. We've updated this list with more deals after the full sale went live, which features a much more extensive array of titles, including some for PS3 and Vita.

With Black Friday 2017 a week away, GameStop has finally joined the ranks of retailers releasing their ads early. An early leak gave us a look at the many games, consoles, and accessories that will be on sale. And although GameStop sales often are not especially great, this year's Black Friday offerings are, in many cases, the best that have been announced so far. A number of these deals are already even live (more on that below).
In terms of consoles, GameStop is the lone retailer we've seen with a PS4 Pro 1 TB deal--you'll be able to pick up the 4K-capable console for $350. Similar to other stores, it will have the standard PS4 1 TB on sale for $200, but it's also throwing in a $50 gift card. On the Xbox One side, you can get the 500 GB Xbox One S for $190, just like at many other stores. GameStop will also take $50 off all Xbox One S 1 TB systems; for instance, that brings the Middle-earth: Shadow of War bundle down to $300. Nintendo Switchis shown in the flyer and will presumably be in stock on Black Friday, but it'll available for the standard $300 price. GameStop will be among the retailers to sell the special green Zelda-themed 2DS bundle. Provided you're okay with a mail-in rebate, you'll be able to effectively get a used Xbox 360 for free. Additionally, the Steam Link will be a mere $5.
A variety of accessories are also set to be discounted, including the PlayStation VR Gran Turismo Sport bundle for $300; a standalone PSVR headset will go for $200. PS4 DualShock 4 controllers will sell for $38, and the PS4 Gold wireless headset will be $65. The GameStop-exclusive red Xbox One controller will be among those on sale for that system; it'll cost $55. Three- and six-month Xbox Live Gold memberships will be $10 off. Several Razer PC accessories, including the BlackWidow Chroma V2 keyboard ($130) and DeathAdder Elite mouse ($50) will be discounted alongside various Switch accessories.
Certain deals have gone live early, specifically related to Sony. Sony Black Friday Week runs from now until November 27 and provides early access to select deals. PlayStation Plus is $40 (matching a PS Plus Black Friday deal going on now at several retailers), a PS4 is $200, and the GT Sport PSVR bundle is $300. You'll also find a variety of PS4 games on sale, including Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Everybody's Golf for $20 each. You can see these offers here.
Below, you'll find our comprehensive list everything GameStop will have on sale; we'll update this post as necessary with any changes when GameStop officially releases its ad, or if anything changes with the delayed PowerPass program.

The Microsoft Store may not be the first retailer that comes to mind when thinking about Black Friday deals, but Microsoft's retail branch does frequently have some worthwhile offers. This year is no exception, as the store--like many others--has released its Black Friday ad in advance of the big shopping day. As you'd expect, you won't find any PS4 or Nintendo Switch discounts here, but those in the market for Xbox One or PC games or hardware have some options.
In terms of consoles, you have a variety of Xbox One choices, although you won't find any promotions tied to the newly released Xbox One X. But if you're interested in an Xbox One S, you can actually place an order prior to Black Friday; the Microsoft Store will roll out offers throughout next week. It has already taken $50 off the price of the special edition 1 TB Minecraft Xbox One S bundle (bringing it to $350) and throw in a pair of free games. One of these is from a limited selection of older titles (such as The Division and The Crew), but the other includes new releases like Star Wars Battlefront II, Call of Duty: WWII, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, Forza Motorsport 7, and Assassin's Creed Origins.
A similar but cheaper option involves the 500 GB Xbox One S Starter bundle, the primary feature of which is three months of Xbox Game Pass. It's $50 off (bringing it to $229) right now and gets you two free games, one from each of the aforementioned pools. Other Xbox One bundles are also $50 off. The cheapest option arrives on November 23; for $189, you get a 500 GB Xbox One S and a free select game: your choice of Watch Dogs 2: Gold Edition, Steep, Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection, Just Dance 2018, or Hasbro Family Fun Pack.
In terms of games, quite a few will be on sale starting on November 23, but exact pricing remains unknown in most cases. Forza Motorsport 7 will be $40, Call of Duty: WWII will be $50, and a month of Game Pass will be $1. There will also be a variety of games "up to" 50% off, including Shadow of War, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition.
On November 23, Xbox One controllers will be up to $20, making the cheapest option $40. A number of laptops will be on sale, while the Lenovo Explorer mixed reality headset drops to $299 (from $399) on November 19.
Below, we've laid out all of the deals we know about at this point. Due to the way Microsoft has explained some of these, we can't be sure about the exact pricing for many of the games, so we'll have to wait until the sales go into effect to know the specifics. You can see all the Microsoft Store deals here. For more, check out our roundups of Black Friday deals at other retailers:

There are a ton of deals set to be available this Black Friday at other retailers, a number of which are already alive. You can also see our full coverage of all the other Black Friday 2017 deals going on now via the links below.
A number of retailers have launched their Black Friday 2017 sales ahead of the big day. And, just as expected, Steam's Black Friday sale has begun. Officially dubbed the Steam Autumn Sale, it runs from now until 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT on November 28, giving you almost a full week to take advantage of sale prices on hundreds of PC games.
As is typical with big Steam sales these days, you don't have to worry about anything too complicated--there are no daily deals or eight-hour flash deals to keep an eye on. Deals are live for the full duration of the event, providing you with plenty of time to see what else you buy on Black Friday. It also makes it easy to compare prices with the ongoing Origin, Ubisoft Store, GOG, and Humble Store Black Friday sales.
Deals extend beyond just games. Select hardware is also on sale--the Steam Link, for instance, is a mere $5, matching the price that GameStop will offer for Black Friday. Alternatively, you can get a bundle with Steam Link and John Wick (the movie) for $19, or a Steam Link and Steam Controller for $34.63.
Coinciding with the Steam Autumn Sale, the nomination process for the annual Steam Awards has begun. You can nominate games during the sale in various quirky categories--things like the "The World Is Grim Enough Let's Just All Get Along" and "Mom's Spaghetti" awards. You'll earn a badge for nominating a game, and completing other tasks will allow you to level it up, as outlined here. The actual Steam Awards themselves will then take place in December.
You can check out everything on sale on Steam here. For more Black Friday coverage, you can check out our list of extensive Black Friday stories below.
With Black Friday around the corner, Walmart has also released its full flyer for the big shopping day. There are a ton of game deals to take advantage of, particularly for those with a PS4 or Xbox One, with these offers becoming available on Thanksgiving evening (November 23) or Black Friday itself, depending on when your state allows stores to begin opening. Nintendo Switch and 3DS offers are also available, although PC gaming fans unfortunately won't find anything. Some of these deals are live now; more details on that below.
In terms of hardware, the offers are similar to what we've seen elsewhere. Switch is in stock, but at a regular price ($299), while there's no sign of Xbox One X or PS4 Pro. However, you can pick up a 1 TB PS4 for $199, or a 500 GB Xbox One S for $189. Neither of these systems comes with any bundled games, although Walmart will also take $50 off "any" Xbox One S, so you'll be able to pick from other bundles that have what you want. Walmart will also be among the retailers to offer the special green Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2DS bundle.
In terms of accessories, DualShock 4 PS4 controllers drop to $39 each, including the Walmart-exclusive Crystal Blue color. Xbox One controllers are also available for $39, including some special edition versions. Third-party, wired Switch controllers will be available for $17, while the Gran Turismo Sport PSVR bundle will be $299. You can also get a wired PS4 or Xbox One headset, the Turtle Beach Recon 50P, for $25.
Walmart has launched some of its offers early as part of a pre-Black Friday sale. You can see all of those here; they include the $199 PS4 and $39 DualShock 4 controllers, among a variety of TVs and other items. You'll find a complete rundown of everything that will be on sale for Black Friday--or as much as we can glean from the flyer--below. You can check out the full flyer, and find out when your local store is opening, on Walmart's website. For more, check out our roundup of deals at other retailers:
We're days away from Black Friday 2017, and numerous stores have revealed the deals they'll have on offer this year. That includes Best Buy, which actually has an early, pre-Black Friday sale going on right now (more details below). But it's Thanksgiving evening and the day after where the full selection of deals will be available, and we've rounded up everything you can expect to see discounted across PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and 3DS--and even a single, solitary deal for those looking for something new to play on Wii U and Wii.
In a trend we're seeing at a number of retailers, there isn't a wide array of hardware deals. Switch will be in stock but at its regular price of $300. Neither the PS4 Pro nor Xbox One X will be on sale, with the sale prices instead coming on the older hardware. A 1 TB PS4 can be had for $200, but that doesn't include any free games. On the Microsoft side, you can get the Madden 18 Xbox One S 500 GB bundle for $230, and as a bonus, you'll receive a free Xbox One controller. A free controller is also available with another bundle, which swaps in Forza Horizon 3 in place of Madden.
Controllers and accessories will also be discounted. The PlayStation VR Gran Turismo Sport bundle drops to $300. All PS4 DualShock 4 controllers will be $40, including the Red Crystal color version that is only available at Best Buy. Xbox One controllers will also be available for $40, although some will cost more--presumably the special edition colors and designs. Those looking for a headset will have several options, including the Turtle Beach XO Three wired headset (which works with Xbox One, PS4, and PC) and Turtle Beach Recon 150 (which also works with those devices) for $40 each. Astro headsets will be up to 25% off, while a handful of Switch accessories (including a Joy-Con charging station) will be $20 each.
Ahead of Black Friday, you can take advantage of many of these deals (and those on non-gaming items) early. If you're a My Best Buy Elite or Elite Plus member, you have access to Black Friday Doorbuster deals right now by going here. Below, you'll find a comprehensive list of everything we could find on sale at Best Buy this Black Friday. Some specific pricing was not shared and the exact time your local store opens will vary. You can check out the full details on Best Buy's website. For more, check out our roundup of the details at other retailers:
Black Friday 2017 is approaching, and while much of the attention paid to Nintendo involves the Switch, 3DS continues to truck along. Its most significant game releases of the fall, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, recently launched, and although neither of those will be on sale (at least that we know of), there will still be a number of deals for both prospective and existing 3DS owners.
On the hardware side, things are fairly limited. GameStop will sell the basic Nintendo 3DS for $100 and the New Nintendo 3DS XL (which features slightly more powerful hardware that can play certain games the non-New 3DS systems cannot) for $140. Other than that, there's very little in the way of actual deals that we know of at this point. However, the recently announced limited-edition green Zelda 2DS bundle launches on Black Friday at several retailers. This comes with a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D pre-loaded on the system for $80. Among the stores whose ads reveal they'll have the system are GameStop, Target, and Walmart.
Below, we've compiled all of the 3DS deals we've come across so far. There are likely still more to come; Amazon has pre-Black Friday deals going on now, but its actual day-of deals have not yet been revealed. Nintendo's potential plans for an Eshop sale also remain to be seen. We'll continue to update this story as more deals are announced. You can check out all of our Black Friday coverage through the links below.
Black Friday 2017 is nearly upon us, and that means plenty of game deals are on the horizon. While more limited than those available for PS4 or Xbox One, that includes offers for Nintendo Switch games, as well as an opportunity to pick up the hardware itself--albeit without any kind of discount. Some discounts are even live early, ahead of Black Friday.
Nintendo Switch itself appears in a variety of the Black Friday ads we've gotten a look at so far, but this is seemingly only intended to signal that it will be in stock. All of them--GameStop, Best Buy, and Target--list it for its usual $300 price (except for Walmart, which sells it for $299). Likewise, we've unfortunately seen no discounts on Joy-Cons or the Switch Pro Controller, although Walmart will have third-party wired controllers for $17. Other accessories on sale include a PowerA Joy-Con Charging Station for $20 at Best Buy, and Mario- and Zelda-themed controller chargers (for both Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers) for $25 each at GameStop.
Nintendo's first-party games are known for rarely going on sale, and this Black Friday demonstrates that. There's no sign of Super Mario Odyssey, while the lone deal we've seen on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild features its new Explorer's Edition dropping to $49 at Walmart. 1-2-Switch, Nintendo's minigame collection, was deemed overpriced at launch by many, but you'll be able to pick it up for $20 at Toys R Us. In terms of third-party titles, The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, Disgaea 5: Complete Edition, and Puyo Puyo Tetris will be $20 each at Best Buy. The store will also sell Super Bomberman R for $25. If you're a My Best Buy Elite or Elite Plus member, you can take advantage of some of this pricing early by heading to the company's website right now.
We've compiled all of the Nintendo Switch deals we've seen so far below. One thing to note is that some Toys R Us prices may end up being lower, as its ad only lists savings, not specific prices (leaving us to calculate costs based on MSRP). There are sure to be more deals still to come, with Amazon's Black Friday offering yet to be announced, among other retailers. We also don't know if Nintendo has any plans to provide discounts on the Eshop, but we'll update this story as more deals become available. For our full Black Friday coverage, hit the links below.
With Black Friday 2017 right around the corner, we've gotten a look at the deals many retailers will offer this year. That includes a wide variety for Sony's PlayStation 4--and virtually none for its older platforms, PS3 and Vita. We've rounded up all of the deals for those with a PS4 (or those looking to purchase one) below, and we'll continue to update this as Black Friday draws nearer and we learn about more.
On the console side, things are very simple (at least at this point). Rather than bundling the system with a variety of games, you'll be able to pick up the standard, 1 TB PS4 Slim for about $200 at a number of retailers. (Walmart will offer it for $199, just because it can.) The best option might be at Kohl's, which is giving away $15 Kohl's Cash with every $50 you spend. It will also be selling the PS4 for $200, letting you earn $60 in what are effectively limited-time gift cards; this Kohl's Cash has to be used between November 26 and December 6. GameStop will sell the system for $200 with a $50 gift card. A number of stores are selling it straight-up for $200 right now, including GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy.
For those looking to pick up Sony's 4K-capable console, the PS4 Pro initially looked like it might have no deals. However, GameStop's leaked ad has revealed it will be on sale for $350. There's also this Amazon PS4 Pro Destiny 2 bundle for $350. Barring any other as-of-yet unrevealed offers, your only other options would be at the system's regular $400 price (or $450 for the special-edition Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront II models).
DualShock 4 controllers will see a pretty standard $20 price cut, dropping them down to $40 at many stores; that includes special colors which can only be had at Best Buy (Red Crystal) and Walmart (Blue Crystal).PlayStation VR will also be on sale--it will go as low as $200 at Target, but that only gets you the headset itself, and not the required camera (which you might already own). Elsewhere, you'll find the GT Sport PSVR bundle for $300 and the Skyrim PSVR bundle for $350. Various headsets will be discounted, too. In terms of deals you can pick up early, PS Plus is $40 at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop as of this writing.
In terms of games, there are a ton on sale, with specific pricing varying by retailer. Walmart frequently has the best prices, but that's not true in all cases, so you'll want to plan ahead if you're hoping to maximize your savings. These discounts include many recent releases: at their cheapest, you'll be able to get Call of Duty: WWII for $40 (Best Buy), Assassin's Creed Origins for $35 (Best Buy/Target), Destiny 2 for $27 (GameStop), NBA 2K18 for $29 (Walmart), Need for Speed Payback for $35 (Best Buy/Target), and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus for $25 (Best Buy). Some of the year's biggest PS4 exclusives also see discounts, such as Persona 5 for $29 (Walmart), Horizon: Zero Dawn for $19 (Walmart), and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for $29 (Walmart). Some deals are going live early; for instance, if you're a My Best Buy Elite or Elite Plus member, you can take advantage of many of the store's sales prices ahead of Black Friday.
Sony has launched the PlayStation Store Black Friday sale early, but only PS Plus members have access for now. The sale will widen to all PSN members on November 21, at which point it will also expand to include more games. There's a limited selection for the time being, and the discounts aren't as steep as those on physical versions, but the sale includes big recent games like AC Origins ($42), FIFA 18 ($36), and South Park: The Fractured But Whole ($42). You can see all of the digital games on sale here.
Below, you'll find our comprehensive list of physical PS4 deals. As noted above, we'll update this as we get the word on more deals from retailers. We don't yet know what to expect from Amazon, for instance. There are sure to bring even more deals to come, while others may be unlisted for the time being, so check back with us in the lead up to Black Friday. For more, check out retailer-specific deals breakdowns through the links below.
With Star Wars: The Last Jedi now only a few weeks from release, many Star Wars fans will be looking to get up-to-date with the unfolding adventures of Rey, Finn, BB-8, and the rest of the saga's characters. UK viewers can now do that on Netflix.
JJ Abrams's 2015 blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been added to the streaming service in the UK from today, November 23. Unfortunately for US fans, the film is not available on Netflix in the States. The deal between Disney and Netflix only covers US streaming of movies released from January 2016, and The Force Awakens hit theaters a month before that. As a result, while last year's Rogue One can be viewed by US subscribers, The Force Awakens remains unavailable.
The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15. There has been plenty of promotional activity in the last few weeks, including new trailers, images, and posters. Unsurprisingly, the movie is expected to have a huge opening weekend at the box office. Early first-weekend projections have predicted that the film will make $215 million in the US over its first three days. While that would be below The Force Awakens' first-weekend haul of $247 million, it would still be the second-biggest of all time, ahead of Jurassic World's $208 million opening in 2015.
Currently, this is your best bet for getting a PS4 Pro at a discount. Your only other options are the regular $400 retail price at other stores or $450 for the same bundle as Amazon but with Star Wars Battlefront II included. GameStop's ad did reveal the store will selling the console for $350 on Black Friday itself, but as far as we know that is without a game included. In the UK, meanwhile, Sony has officially discounted PS4 Pro consoles for Black Friday. Until the end of Monday, November 27, PS4 Pro bundles containing Call of Duty: WWII and either FIFA 18 or Gran Turismo Sport will cost £300. Check out the Amazon US deal here.
If you're not sure whether you should make the jump to the Pro, you can read our full PS4 Pro review. Author Jimmy Thang said, "If you have a 4K HDR TV and are looking to buy a console, I'd definitely recommend the PS4 Pro. Even if you have a 1080p TV and are looking to buy a PlayStation, I'd still lean more toward the Pro. Yes, it does cost $100 more than the Slim model, but you get more ports, twice the storage space, more future-proof hardware in the event that you ever decide to get a 4K TV, and some games can look slightly better at 1080p."
For a complete roundup, see our full list of PS4 Black Friday deals. There are sure to be even more deals to come, while others may be unlisted for the time being, so check back with us in the lead up to Black Friday. For more, check out retailer-specific deals breakdowns through the links below.
Now sources for Den of Geek, who are "close to both Whedon and the project", have confirmed that the movie is still moving ahead. The site states, "Whedon is currently writing the script for Batgirl and will also serve as both director and producer." The report also notes that no one has been cast in the lead role so far.
In an interview earlier this year, Whedon stated that he wasn't thinking about casting for now. "I feel like I'm creating this character, I'm going to dialogue with her, and then we'll see who joins that later on," he said. "I doubt it will be a name. This is somewhere where you go and find Batgirl and then you cast her. I'm not against movie stars, they're great, but you need somebody who's going to be just right. And a situation like this, the name carries a lot of weight so it's not as critical."
However, all of these films were announced before Justice League opened with the lowest first weekend gross of any of the movies in DC's cinematic universes so far. It took $96 million in its first three days, well below Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's $166 million opening haul last year. It has been reported that Warner could lose millions as a result, and it remains to be seen if this affects any of the DC movies in development.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is the sequel to 2015's blockbuster Jurassic World, and it is set to hit theaters in June next year. There hasn't been much news about the movie since the title was revealed, but now we have some first footage.
The clip has been tweeted by Colin Trevorrow, who directed the first movie and has produced and co-written Fallen Kingdom. It doesn't reveal much--it's basically star Chris Pratt with a baby Raptor. The creature resembles Baby Blue, the Raptor that Pratt formed a bond with in the first movie. Could this be a flashback? We'll find out next summer--in the meantime, check it out below:
Bryce Dallas Howard also returns from the first movie, and she is joined by James Cromwell, Toby Jones, and Rafe Spall. Jeff Goldbum, who starred in the original Jurassic Park, will also reprise his role as Dr. Ian Malcolm. Fallen Kingdom is directed by J.A. Bayona, who previously made the horror movie The Orphanage and last year's acclaimed drama A Monster Calls.
Earlier this year, Trevorrow spoke about working with Bayona. "It is by far my favorite creative collaboration that I've ever been involved in," he said. "Bayona is a completely different kind of filmmaker and thinker than I am, yet we do have a lot of things in common. I was able to craft something specifically for another filmmaker that I admire. I built a Spanish horror thriller with dinosaurs in it that I probably wouldn't have built for myself."
Jurassic World currently stands as the fourth-highest grossing movie of all time, bringing in $1.6 billion at the global box office. It was the first new entry in the series since 2001's Jurassic Park III.
The end of the month is in sight, so Microsoft has revealed the next batch of games that will be available for free to Xbox Live Gold subscribers. As usual, December's Games With Gold lineup consists of four games spread across Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Although there were few deals on PlayStation Plus memberships included in the early Black Friday ads that were released, this has turned out to be a good week to subscribe or extend your membership. Those interested in a year of PS Plus can currently pick it up at a nice discount--and you don't even have to wait for Black Friday to actually begin.
A number of the Black Friday offers for PlayStation 4 games, consoles, and accessories have gone live early. In addition to being able to pick up a PS4 for $200 right now, you can purchase a 12-month PS Plus membership for $40 (or £37.50 in the UK). That's $20 less than the usual price, and as cheap as you can ever expect to see it go at most retailers. This price is available right now at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. All three stores treat this as a "download," meaning you won't have to pick anything up or wait for a physical card to be mailed to you; a redemption code will simply be emailed to you.
That's good news, too, because being a PS Plus member right now gets you early access to a PSN Black Friday sale. This discounts a variety of recent, big-name games, including Assassin's Creed Origins ($42), Destiny 2 ($39), and WWE 2K18 ($36). The sale expands to non-Plus members on Tuesday, November 21, at which point the number of games included will also increase. We don't yet know what else will be on sale or if Plus members will receive steeper discounts, as is sometimes the case on the PlayStation Store.
For a full rundown on all the upcoming offers, check out our roundup of all the PS4 Black Friday 2017 deals. We also have extensive coverage of other platforms and retailers, all of which you can see through the links below.
A ton of games and consoles will be on sale for Black Friday 2017, including some of the biggest titles from the past year. Among the more recent releases you'll be able to find at a discount is Need for Speed Payback, which, despite only launching earlier this month, will be on sale at various retailers.
If you're looking to pick up EA's latest racing game at stores, you can find some good deals on the PS4 and Xbox One versions. Best Buy and Target will have it on sale for the cheapest price this Black Friday; the game will be available at both chains for $35. GameStop, meanwhile, will have it for slightly more at $40.
In addition to those retail deals, you'll also be able to find discounts on the digital version of Need for Speed Payback from the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store, both of which are currently offering their Black Friday sales early for Xbox Live Gold and PS Plus subscribers, respectively. You can download the game from both digital stores for $36. The Black Friday sales will extend to non-Gold and PS Plus members beginning tomorrow, November 21, so everyone will be able to download the game at a discount starting then.
PC players will also find some discounts on Need for Speed Payback from EA's Origin service, which kicked off its Black Friday sale today. The standard edition of the game is available for $40, while the Deluxe edition (which includes Payback's upcoming story mission pack and other bonus content) runs for $53.32.

It's almost Black Friday. The annual shopping bonanza is coming up this Friday, November 25, and there are going to be quite a lot of video game deals to be had. One game marked down nicely is Ubisoft's newly released Assassin's Creed Origins on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The ambitious, open-world game set in Ancient Egypt launched on October 27 behind a mostly positive critical reception. Best Buy and Target will have the title for only $35 on Black Friday, while Toys R Us will offer the game for $40. Meanwhile, GameStop will offer a discount on the game + Season Pass, cutting it down to $70. The Ubisoft Store's Black Friday PC game sale is now underway, dropping the computer version to $40.
While you have to wait until Black Friday for those deals, the Xbox and PlayStation Stores are selling Origins right now for only $42. If you're OK without a disc and want to play right now, that's a nice option to have.
GameSpot's Assassin's Creed: Origins review scored the game a 7/10. Reviewer Alessandro Fillari said the game reaches new heights in its Egypt setting, but unfortunately, the game "routinely runs into issues that bog down the overall experience." You can read our full review here.
A new Origins update released last week squashed some bugs and made other tweaks to the experience; here are the patch notes. You can check out a complete list of Assassin's Creed: Origins deals for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One below. We'll continue to update this as more Black Friday ads are revealed.
