What have you copped so far?
What are you looking for?
What are you on the fence about?

Nintendo has Etrian Odyssey IV and V for $10 and $20 respectively on eShop, might dip into that series again with those two.

Might even get an XBox One S, going for $200 on Amazon...

Just Pokemon Ultra Sun. After the fact, was going to do Pokemon Ultra Moon but it had sold out (but they still had Ultra Sun >_>)

I really want a great deal on a Switch. Not really seeing one this year.

Otherwise probably cheap 3DS games. And cheap Switch/ps4 games if I get either system.

I was on the fence about that $199 ps4+Spidey deal, but it sold out when I was going to buy so that decision was made for me.

Was also once again considering a cheap 40" smartTV or whatever, half for gaming. I keep thinking about it year to year but I kinda just watch things on my laptop and I have a monitor for gaming so it's never been as vital.

I'm too poor to shop. Besides, I have already spent forty American dollars on my brother's gift, eighty American dollars on Kingdom Hearts III, and will spend twenty-five American dollars on my sister's gift. My mother doesn't like gifts, so I'm just going to give her fifty American dollars, or something. Anyway, this is very much besides the point. So to put it shortly, I've gotten nothing for African-American Friday, and don't plan to take advantage of any of the sales offered.

Or a Gamestop deal where you get a $50 GC, which is also somewhat meh.

Yeah, Nintendo thinks giving you MK8D for "free" with a Switch is a good deal lol

At least there's some nice deals on 3DS.

Why do you repeatedly specify?

How else will I artificially lengthen my post? I don't like making posts that are two lines. One line, and three or more lines are okay, but I don't like making two-line posts.

I got the best edition of Hitman 2 for 30 bucks. I don't really want anything else.
There's a suit coat I wanted but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna receive it as a Christmas gift so I held off.

Seemed like about the best we'd get, so I went for that. There's also been a Newegg Ebay deal for $260 for just the Switch, but I don't trust Ebay...

Besides the Switch bundle, I got Xenoblade 2 for $35 and a new laptop for my wife (both on Amazon).

Need to find some Switch accessories next I guess. Screen protector, SD card, and an actual controller or two.

Picked up Ultra Moon at Best Buy while trying to find that ps4 bundle in-person. Might pick up some cheap movies, etc, if I stop at BB tomorrow.

And it's digital rather than physical on top of it, isn't it?

Granted, $300 + a physical copy of BotW probably would have been enough for me.

I would have done that had I known. Newegg is generally reliable.

I apparently missed an insane ps4 Cyber Monday deal at Wal-Mart (system, extra controller, RDR2) -- because I wasn't just googling deals and hadn't checked Gamefaqs since I was starting s4 of American Horror Story -- but it looks like the best Nintendo Switch Deal thus far has become available. It's system for $300 with a $50 GS giftcard and a $35 e-shop giftcard (making it an effective $215). I think I might just pull the trigger, although I'm not sure how quickly I'll use that e-shop gc.

That's a really nice deal. Dunno if you're a physical only kind of person for video games, but you could always use the $50 GS GC and buy another eShop one.

I picked up Diablo III on PS4 for $20, with all the DLC included in that price. I don't get it. It's such a stupidly simple game but it's so much fun. I like Earth Defense Force and Borderlands, so the swaths of enemies and endless loot is really enjoyable.

...well, dragged my feet again and it seems to be gone >_> At any rate, wasn't 100% feeling getting a Switch right now because there's not enough discounted software upfront and titles I super want.

Don't worry Zeus, I looked at it as well and then I did a serious look at the games (that are not available on steam or Ps4). I do already own Zelda on my Wii U, and I have also already finished/played Super Mario Odyessy.

That left Octotraveler, and Xenosaga 2 (but I have not played the first 2 Xeno games for the Wii and Wii U even though I own them).

The conclusion I came to was there just was no games I really wanted to play on the switch. Certainly nothing worth spending over $300 for.

So yeah, it's a good deal, but it's a good deal for a system that STILL doesn't really have anything I'm dying to play. Even if it does get something, I have friends with a switch, so I could just play say...octopathtraveler or whatever it's called at their home probably.

Just not worth it.

Well apparently some facebook deals thing is letting people get the switch for only $180.

Now I feel kind of silly jumping at the $300 MK8 and $50 gift card bundle, considering I don't care about racing games and it's a digital code only.
But I don't trust doing financial stuff through facebook, so I guess it's the best deal I could've gotten.

$180 though.... Half freaking price just about, that's crazy.

Eh, in my case I kinda like to build a library (if I can't find a selection of games cheaply) before buying a system. In the case of the ps4, I have at least 5 or 10 games already so that would have worked out better. But yeah, the overall selection for the Switch was a bit of a headscratcher. When I was at Best Buy after work today, I saw a few interesting titles (some DQ builder game and a brawl-type game with anthros titled something along the lines of Brawlout) so there's stuff but.... honestly, the big draw was just BotW and a portable version of Skyrim. Skyrim I can just play on a laptop I guess; I own the PC collection, the Legendary ps3 version, and the vanilla 360 one already.

That is fucking insane. I would have jumped on that.
