2019 Black Friday/Cyber Monday thread: Go for Broke!

I’m really wanting to get this but I heard it’s balls to the walls hard if you play in single player. And not in one of those “fun” hards. One of the unfair hards for the sake of being hard.

I didn’t do much research on this game. Inti Creates had a booth at Anime NYC and had stations showing off the game. I liked what I saw and wait for this sale to buy it.

This was my first Black Friday where I was really able to do something. I grabbed about 6 games last year but nothing I’d call “Black Friday shopping”. So, thanks to all the stars aligning when it came to bills due and when I got paid + quarterly bonus I kinda went ham this year.

I’m still waiting on a few packages to arrive between tomorrow and Tuesday but heres everything I got overall:

PS4 (Digital)
Castle Crashers
Metal Wolf Chaos XD

Switch (Digital)
20XX
Azure Striker GUNVOLT: Striker Pack
Capcom Beat ‘Em Bundle
Castlevania Anniversary Collection

Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

Misc.
PS4 Purple Dual Shock Controller
10 ft. PS4 Dual Shock charging cable
Sega Genesis Mini + 6-Button Pad
6-Can Mini Fridge
Avengers Endgame (iTunes Sale)

There’s still games I’m eyeing too but I doubt I’ll get them as well as still having about $45 in iTunes credit too. So I’ve been looking at movies, music and tv shows.

Most of these I didn’t actually spend my own money on thanks to gift cards, cash and presents I received from friends and family for my birthday. So that’s hella nice.

Seems as next year is PS5 season I doubt I’ll be getting anything that’s not somehow related to that. Probably just digital shit

@mikeohara Grandson got good taste in movies. LEGO Batman is solid. I didn’t really like the final act but it is solid overall.

Bumblebee was a sleeper hit of last year. I went in with no positive expectations to speak of. So I was so pleasantly surprised with how good it was.

Dude, post up pics of the rose gold. I’m super on the fence and I haven’t t seen it in person. Every local store including my Walmart has been sold out of them.

My haul from Best Buy!!

My memory is fuzzy (it’s been a long week) did you get a switch for BF as well? Or just BotW+Expansion?

I may not like BotW but it’s always nice to see people excited about new games

Just the BotW+Expansion.
I had bought my Switch back in the summer.
I think it was just at the launch of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.

I ordered the physical edition of Dragon MFD…it said it includes all character packs and additional quests DLC.

Not sure what it meant…are the 4 characters not unlocked by default?

The additional quest is not on the cart as it comes with a voucher for it.

The 4 characters were sold as DLC packs for the digital version. They are there available from the start

Just picked up my purple DS4 from work as I was going to break. I haven’t opened it yet but I’m so excited.

I bought from Walmart’s dotcom store on my break. I got a card in the mail this morning from my grandma. It had $20 in it cause she didn’t know what to get me and cause she’s a grandma. So I put it on the Walmart gift card I got from my parents then purchased it online.

I only paid $10 out of pocket for it. So if it’s awesome than $10 well spent. If it sucks? It was only $10.

I tend get a new Galaxy phone every two years on black friday, and I bought an S10 yesterday.

Usual price is $899.99. Promotional discount with any carrier is $200 off. My Galaxy S8 got a trade-in boost value from $100 to $130. And using UniDays discount, I’ve got $42.75 off. So total was $564.15. Also got some free wireless ear buds.

@Stuart_Hayden - I plan on posting the pictures you wanted of the rose gold controller tomorrow. Been out of pocket most of the day today.

Jesus. You all went IN on BF.

I just got a tablet. I was thinking about a TV too, but chickened out because I realized for sure a new one is not going to up my usage of the TV overall. Now I’m looking at a phone.

For those in the know, is the Samsung Galaxy A50 good? I hear it’s pretty good for a mid-range, but I don’t necessarily NEED to replace my Samsung Galaxy J3 right now. It is getting slow though, like the tablet I’m replacing. I’m not only asking here; I’m googling too. But other opinions don’t hurt.

Here you go Stu:

https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Discovery-Season-One-Blu-ray/dp/B07G2D87C1?tag=bluray-052-20&linkCode=xm2&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I bought this last month, i tripped. Shouldve waited for BF to get that discount

So far I’ve just spent $200-$300 on Blu Rays that most of which I’m probably never going to watch.

Replace that J3. Check on Samsung site if you can trade in that J3. If you can, better to do it now before it keeps losing trade in value.
