Black Friday. Otherwise known as the day you stand in line for four hours, in the freezing cold, only to be trampled by hundreds of people as the store doors open and be man-handled by a desperate soccer mom over a $20 item.

To help quell your troubles, PSU.com has compiled a useful holiday list detailing some of the best games and hardware sales currently in effect at retail stores, so you’ll know exactly where to hunt for the best bargains this side of Christmas.

Some of these items will be for sale on the retailers website, so be sure to check the link provided for more details. Keep in mind that the door buster items are limited in numbers so you’ll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on them.

(Updates may occur to the article as the week progresses)

  22. legol38

    • 8:03pm GMT - November 24th, 2008

    If Bioshock is really 28 dollars, I will do a victory dance... But the source doesn't even have Bioshock listed as a product, and all the Black Friday websites I checked don't even list any video games for CostCo... This is my main thing I want, Bioshock, but I am worried it won't be there. :(

  23. hawkeye00 | boatwizzle

    • 8:25pm GMT - November 24th, 2008

    • 12:22am GMT - November 29th, 2008

    I went to every Radioshack in the Kansas City area and all were sold out of the DS3.  Wasted $25 in gas just to save $25 on a controller.  Irony?

  40. GOD_OF_CHAOS_KRATOS | GrimDarkling

    • 5:58pm GMT - November 29th, 2008

    Do ya think the Dualshock 3 for $30 deal would still be in effect.

    • 12:23am GMT - November 30th, 2008

    Most of these are no good.
