Walmart’s Black Friday Deals Are Live Now: PS4, Xbox Bundles Get Big Discounts

/0 Comments/in /by

Walmart has a ton of great Black Friday 2019 deals running this weekend, from games to tech to entertainment. The retailer has slashed prices on the usual fare, such as TVs, laptops, and PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch deals.

Walmart’s Black Friday deals went live November 27, and there’s a lot to sift through. The first thing you should know is that you may want to make your purchases quickly. Walmart’s online store has already sold out of some of the bigger gaming deals, including the excellent PS4 Slim holiday bundle. A ton of Xbox One bundles are still available, and we happen to think the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Xbox One S bundle for $199 is the best deal.

Walmart also has a lot of great game deals, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $38, Madden NFL 20 for $27, NBA 2K20 for $27, and Super Mario Odyssey for $30.

Xbox One S All-Digital Edition Hits Lowest Price Yet For Black Friday 2019

/0 Comments/in /by

The Black Friday 2019 deals continue, as Rakuten has announced one of the best offers we’ve ever seen on the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. The retailer is selling the console for only $115 USD.

That is a huge savings, as the console–which does not have a disc drive–normally goes for $250. It’s also below Microsoft’s official Black Friday discount that drops it down to $150. In addition to the console, the bundle comes with copies of Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Fortnite: Battle Royale bonus content.

To see the lower price, you must use the discount code THANKS20 at checkout on Thanksgiving Day, which slashes an additional 20% off the price. Assuming the deal lasts until Black Friday, you’ll be able to use promo code BF20 on Friday to claim the offer.

Xbox One S All-Digital Edition | $115.79 ($250)

See at Rakuten

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition launched in May in the United States before coming to other parts of the world later on. It’s the same model as the Xbox One S but without a disc drive, thereby appealing to those who prefer to consume their games and entertainment digitally.

This isn’t the only special offer that Rakuten has on Xbox hardware this Black Friday. The retailer is also selling the Gears 5 Xbox One S bundle with a stereo headset for $260 USD by using the same promo codes mentioned above. This bundle also includes the previous Gears of War games.

Black Friday 2019 GoG Deals: Disco Elysium, Witcher 3, And More

/0 Comments/in /by

The Black Friday 2019 deals are beginning to come out in full swing–with several of the digital distributors like The Epic Games Store and Steam joining the fray of massive discounts. GoG is also hosting a Black Friday sale this year, which is going on right now and is scheduled to continue until December 3.

There are several notable PC games on sale on GoG for Black Friday, including Disco Elysium–a game that GameSpot gave a 10/10 score to. In GameSpot’s Disco Elysium review, David Wildgoose wrote, “Disco Elysium is a mad, sprawling detective story where the real case you’ve got to crack isn’t who killed the man strung up on a tree in the middle of town–though that in itself, replete with dozens of unexpected yet intertwined mysteries and wild excursions into the ridiculous, is engrossing enough to sustain the game. Rather, it’s an investigation of ideas, of the way we think, of power and privilege, and of how all of us are shaped, with varying degrees of autonomy, by the society we find ourselves in.”

Normally going for $40, Disco Elysium has been discounted to $32 on GoG for Black Friday. It’s one of the better prices you’ll find for Disco Elysium this Black Friday–though Steam is offering the exact same discount if you prefer to shop from them. Other noteworthy GoG sales include A Plague Tale: Innocence (discounted from $45 to $22.49), Blasphemous (discounted from $25 to $20), Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (discounted from $20 to $6), and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition (discounted from $50 to $15). Every discount is listed below.

Black Friday Hours 2019: When GameStop, Walmart, Target Open On Thanksgiving

/0 Comments/in /by

The long Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2019 weekend kicks off today, with plenty of stores opening later today and having their doorbuster deals all ready to go. Plenty of deals are live online already, but a few places are saving their best deals for when their physical stores open. Store hours and deal vary by retailer and the best deals go quick, so if you were hoping grab a good deal on a Switch Lite, PS4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, or whatever other item has caught your eye and just wanted to head to the nearest store, you might be missing out.

Quite a few stores will open Thanksgiving evening, shut their doors later that night, and then re-open on Black Friday proper. However, you’ll definitely be waiting until Friday to do in-store shopping if you live in Rhode Island, Maine, or Massachusetts, where opening on Thanksgiving is illegal. Of course, you can always head online if heading to a store isn’t an option.

Please note that some stores haven’t released the exact time their deals will be live, only the date. We’ve included the information available below and will continue to update this story as more retailers announce their store hours and start times.

Amazon

While Amazon has opened a small (but growing) number of brick-and-mortar stores across the US, the bulk of its Black Friday discounts will be available on Amazon.com. Because Amazon is primarily an online store, it’s not waiting until the end of the month to start offering its Black Friday deals. Instead, Amazon launched its Happy HoliDeals sale on November 1 with discounts across gaming, tech, entertainment, and other categories. And in the leadup to Black Friday 2019, deals will be available on Amazon at all hours, including a wide range of smart devices. Basically, Amazon will have deals going live all the time, so check back often.

It also had some of the best deals around during Prime Day 2019, so be sure to keep your eye on Ebay during Black Friday this year.

Ebay is offering a series of “Black Friday Drops” every Friday leading up the major event. So far, they’ve offered nice discounts on expensive tech like the Apple Watch Series 5 and Bose SoundTouch 10 wireless speaker, and we even saw a great bundle with the Nintendo Switch Lite and Pokemon Sword and Shield. Each Black Friday Drop goes live at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET every Friday now through December 13. The spotlight deal for Black Friday itself, November 29, hasn’t yet been revealed.

Steam

  • November 26-December 3: Steam’s Autumn Sale

Newegg

Online store Newegg is another great source for tech and gaming deals year-round, and the website has been gearing up for Black Friday all month long. Newegg has opted to celebrate “Black November” rather than limiting its deals to Thanksgiving weekend, and you can already find great discounts on gaming laptops, desktops, graphics cards, and more.

  • Available now: Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals at Newegg

Costco

If you’re someone who has a Costco membership, there are plenty of Black Friday gaming deals awaiting you this year. However, Costco will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, so there’s no beating the Black Friday rush if you plan to shop in stores. If you prefer to shop online, deals are already available.

  • Available now: All Costco Black Friday deals

Costco store hours

  • Thanksgiving Day: Closed
  • Black Friday, Nov. 29: 9 AM – 8:30 PM (may vary by store)

Plus, the store is offering $15 of Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend from until November 29–an excellent deal if you shop there regularly. On top of that, select products are eligible for an additional 15% off both in stores and online with promo code THANKS15.

Black Friday 2019 Gaming Deals: Stores Open Thanksgiving, Biggest Discounts, And More–Complete Guide

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Friday 2019 is here. If you’re a gamer or are shopping for one, expect to find a ton of deals on gaming consoles, games, accessories, tech, and more over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend. Not every deal on a PS4, Xbox One, Switch, or gaming headset is a big one, however, and you shouldn’t always snatch up the first one you see–you can usually find a slightly better deal if you’re willing to shop around. Not everyone has the time to do that, though, which is why we’re here to help you find the best price on whatever gaming gift you’re looking for this Thanksgiving weekend.

Whether you have a long list of loved ones to buy for or a personal wishlist, it’s best to have a plan when shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Typically, ads from all of the big retailers leak weeks in advance, but this year, things are slightly different; many brick-and-mortar retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, and Target published their Black Friday 2019 ads well in advance, giving us a closer look at what deals will be available and when. In fact, we already know most of what’s to come, with some exceptions like Nintendo Switch’s Eshop. Nintendo of Europe announced its Eshop deals early, but we’re still waiting to see which digital Switch games will be on sale in North America.

There are sure to be new deals that pop up or new items you might decide you want–the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx might suddenly have you in the market for an Oculus Rift or other VR headset. But it’s time to start planning your Black Friday shopping to ensure you get the best deals and don’t miss on the things you want most.

Read on for everything you need to know to prepare for this year’s Black Friday, including the best deals to be aware of at different retailers across gaming (including PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch hardware and games), tech, and entertainment.

When is Black Friday 2019?

Well, it’s tricky. Black Friday is technically the day after Thanksgiving, of course, so it falls on November 29 this year. But many retailers have begun offering deals already, and the schedule is all over the place–some retailers are closed on Thanksgiving, some are open as usual, and some are open for a set number of hours during the long weekend. While the schedule varies from store to store, most of the best deals seem to have already dropped. Other deals won’t be available until Black Friday itself, however, which can make things tricky. Once Black Friday kicks into full gear, the deals will mostly like continue through the weekend and pick up steam again on Cyber Monday.

Because the schedule of Black Friday deals varies so widely from store to store, here’s an overview of when we know deals will be available for Best Buy, Target, Microsoft, Ebay, and other major retailers for Black Friday this year. Please note that start times often differ based on whether the deal is online or in brick-and-mortar stores. As more retailers release their Black Friday ads, we’ll include that information here.

Black Friday Deals 2019: Oculus Quest And Rift S Deals In Time For Half-Life: Alyx

/0 Comments/in /by

Oculus released one of the most exciting VR headsets this year–the Oculus Quest–and while there isn’t a discount, there are some really awesome deals currently available for the Quest and its other headsets during Black Friday 2019. The VR company has announced several deals on its headsets, including the Oculus Go, Oculus Rift S, and, of course, the all-in-one Oculus Quest headset. They’re not quite as meaty as the PS4 PlayStation VR headset, but with Valve recently announcing Half-Life: Alyx (a new, VR-only game set between Half-Life and Half-Life 2), it’s a good time to get into PC VR. And guess what? The Oculus Quest and Rift S are both ready to play Half-Life: Alyx when it releases. With these deals, it’s the best time ever to pick up a VR headset.

The Oculus Quest Black Friday deal isn’t much, but it’s a good starter pack. It comes with the headset, the latest Oculus Touch controllers, and all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, and you can get it until January 31. You’ll need to activate your Oculus Quest within 30 days of your purchase to get Vader Immortal for free, with March 2 being the last possible day to redeem the offer.

While the Quest doesn’t receive a special price, Oculus is discounting the rest of its VR headsets for Black Friday. Starting November 28 until December 2, the Oculus Rift S and both versions of the Oculus Go will be discounted by $50.

Facebook also plans to discount its Portal devices, which are touchscreen displays that let you video call your friends and family, display photos, and control your smart home with built-in Alexa support, in addition to a lot more. The Portal, Portal Mini, and Portal TV are all discounted by $50, while the Portal Plus sees a price cut of $30. You can see the full list of deals below.

Oculus Quest 64 GB or 128 GB + Vader Immortal bundle | $400 or $500

Oculus is bundling all three episodes of its Star Wars VR series, Vader Immortal, with every purchase of the Oculus Quest headset until January 31. The Oculus Quest is an all-in-one, completely cord-free VR headset–no PC required–that comes with 64 GB or 128 GB of storage. There’s no discount, but you save $30 getting the Star Wars VR series for free. On top of that, Vader Immortal is a great way for Star Wars fans to experience virtual reality.

Oculus Rift S | $350 ($400)

Oculus Rift S is the latest revision of Oculus’s PC VR headset. You’ll need a PC with the hardware specs to run the VR headset and its software, but everything else comes with the package, including the Touch controllers. Starting on November 28, the Oculus Rift S will be $350.

No Caption Provided

Oculus Go 32 GB or 64 GB | $150 ($200) or $200 ($250)

The Oculus Go is a completely portable headset that’s better used for movies, shows, and other media than gaming. It’ll be available for $150 for the 32 GB version or $200 for the 64 GB version on Black Friday from November 28 to December 2.

No Caption Provided

Portal | $130 ($180)

Facebook’s Portal is a 10-inch, touchscreen display that lets you video chat with friends and family through Facebook’s Messenger and WhatsApp–thankfully, they can use any device they want to communicate with you. The cool thing about the Portal is that the Smart Camera automatically follows your position by panning and zooming to get you in the frame. On top of all that, you can control your smart home and listen to music with Alexa support as well as display photos while you’re not talking to anyone. For Black Friday, the Portal will be $130 from November 28 to December 2.

No Caption Provided

Portal Mini | $80 ($130)

The Portal Mini is exactly like the regular Portal–except it’s mini. The eight-inch Portal does everything the 10-inch does, including the Smart Camera movement, Alexa support, and photo display. From November 28 to December 2, it’ll cost $80.

No Caption Provided

Portal TV | $100 ($150)

The Portal TV plugs into your television, turning your television into a Portal device. It also gives you the ability to watch and listen to streaming services like Prime Video, CBS Access, and Spotify. Like other Portal devices, it features the Smart Camera, Alexa support, and more. It’ll cost $100 during Black Friday, from November 28 to December 2.

No Caption Provided

Portal + | $250 ($280)

The Portal Plus features everything the other portals do except with a much bigger, 15.6-inch 1080p screen. It also comes with two 20w speakers that offer richer sound than the other Portal devices. For Black Friday, it’ll cost $250 from November 28 to December 2.

Overwatch 2: Campaign Leveling Will Be Separate From Competitive, And Other New Details

/0 Comments/in /by

Overwatch 2 was revealed earlier this month during BlizzCon 2019, and it’s coming to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Its major new addition is a single-player (and co-op) campaign that will bring all of the heroes together to battle a new threat, and fans are hungry for more details. Now lead writer Michael Chu and assistant game director Aaron Keller have spoken to PlayStation Blog about the story they’re working on, giving us some further information about this new mode.

Keller states that Blizzard wants players to experience more the Overwatch’s world than they have previously, and that the campaign missions “tell an engaging narrative about how the heroes of Overwatch respond to a new global threat.” These missions are “deeply replayable,” apparently, and will shift players between “a wide variety of locations all over the world.” He mentions the leveling system, and says that “players will level their heroes and use different elements to modify their abilities and power levels.”

Keller also says that Blizzard has “lots of heroes in the works” beyond Sojourn. This matches up to earlier reports that suggested that Blizzard has internal concept art for at least four other heroes that are being worked on. “We can’t get into who they are exactly, or what their gameplay might be like,” Keller says, “but they will help round out the world of Overwatch and give us new gameplay mechanics we have not yet seen.”

Michael Chu’s early answers reflect earlier comments about how Overwatch 2 will follow up on the threads established with the original game, but he has more to say on the game’s structure here. “With story missions, we’ll have a more traditional way to tell a story in the Overwatch universe,” he says. “A complete story with beginning, middle, and end. In addition, we’ve finally moved the story forward after Winston’s recall, and we hope to continue to push events into the future in the stories to come.”

Keller notes that the maps added for the campaign are about twice as large as the multiplayer maps we’re used to, stating that they’ve “got way more advanced technology to show dynamic weather, lightning, explosions, and more.” Every mission will have its own opening and closing cinematic, Keller confirms. He also says that, at present, progression between the campaign and standard multiplayer is planned on being kept separate, so that leveling up in one mode does not affect your progress in the other. “Our goal is to make a robust meaningful progression system that feeds into our Hero Missions where players can play and replay for many hours or as their main mode of play after they complete the Overwatch 2 story.”

Overwatch 2 does not yet have an release date or window. Work on it has slowed updates for the original, but once it releases the two iterations of Overwatch will share all PVP content.

Xbox Boss Responds To Criticism Of His “Nobody’s Asking For VR” Comments

/0 Comments/in /by

Xbox boss Phil Spencer recently said that one of the reasons that Xbox Scarlett may not have VR support is because “nobody’s asking for VR.” He also said the VR market is progressing slowly, with none of the major VR platforms racing up the sales charts. Some remarked that Spencer’s comments were dismissive to the wider VR community, and now the longtime Xbox leader has commented again and clarified his stance.

A fan remarked on Twitter that Spencer was speaking dismissively about VR and suggesting it is a novelty. This person said Spencer might have been wiser to acknowledge the successes of VR so far and leave the door open for Scarlett or other Xbox platforms to support VR someday.

Spencer replied that this is “fair feedback.”

He added that he has personally played great VR games, noting that he got to try Half-Life: Alyx over the summer before it was announced. Still, he reiterated that VR will not be a focus for Microsoft’s next-generation console.

“I’ve said publicly, I love how our industry has pioneered: AI, physics, 3D, RT, VR/AR etc. For us, it’s about focus on our innovations right now. I’ve played some great VR games, I got to play Half-Life: Alyx in the summer, amazing. It’s just not our focus with Scarlett.”

In his earlier interview, Spencer said he has “some issues” with VR as a platform, one of which is that he thinks it is “isolating.” Spencer said he prefers gaming experiences that are more communal and shared.

Companies like Sony, Valve, HTC, Facebook, and others have invested in VR in a big way, but according to NPD analyst Mat Piscatella, it hasn’t paid off yet. He said the revenue from VR games spending so far has amounted to a “rounding error of [a] rounding error.”

In other recent news, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red said VR is a teeny tiny niche of a market. Valve is only releasing Half-Life: Alyx as a VR game because it wants to boost VR hardware sales, according to CD Projekt Red.

PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida seemingly took a jab at Spencer’s comments about VR by saying Sony creates things that customers aren’t asking for.

Xbox Scarlett launches in Holiday 2020 with Halo Infinite as a launch title.
