GameStop, the United States’ largest dedicated seller of video games and video game consoles, is finally ready to reveal the Black Friday 2015 deals it’s planning to offer shoppers this year. You can save up to $200 off the Surface Pro 3 and $300 on the HP Pavilion 15, which will retail for $549. Probably two of the most compared gadgets are the PS4 and Xbox One. Over 100 titles including, Halo: Spartan Assault, the Gears of War series, Just Cause 2, and Fallout 3 are now playable on the current gen-console. US’ biggest online retailer, Amazon has started offering discounts on Xbox One and PS4 in preparation for Black Friday 2015.
Xbox, of course, is in on the holiday deals craze, and beginning Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 26th through Monday November 30th, you can pick up a select Xbox One bundle for only $299, the lowest price ever on an Xbox One. The bundle that appears to be promoted this year is the Xbox One 500GB Console – Gears of War: Ultimate Edition Bundle. These rumours place the prices of the Xbox One at least $50 below the usual selling price. That sits quite nicely alongside Rise of the Tomb Raider, as although that is coming to PS4 at a few point in 2016, it certainly doesn’t hurt to have one of the best games on modern hardware as even a timed exclusive. Games that are costing just 10 cents include Angry Birds, Hitman Go and Where’s My Water.
The premium 1 TB solid-state hybrid drive comes with this bundle, priced $50 off at $449.99 at GameStop all the way through Sunday of the holiday shopping weekend.
The button mapping appears to be universal for all Xbox One games; rather than having different control schemes on a game-by-game basis, it’s a hard preset that games will recognize, meaning you won’t have to reconfigure anything in-game.
