How We Find the Best Video Game Black Friday Sales
It’s no joke that there are hundreds of games with sale prices on, before, and even after Black Friday, so how in the world can players sift through everything to find the absolute best deals? Simple: make someone else do it!
Game ZXC is run by gamers, so picking out the best Black Friday deals on video games is done the same way anyone would. We take into account a few key factors before deciding whether a deal is worthwhile:
Discount Amount
This is perhaps the most important element to consider. Is the discounted game really all that cheap? Or is the displayed percentage equal to just a few dollars off? For some titles, saving a few bucks is as good as it gets, but for the most part, players can expect to save at least $20 on the year’s most popular games. Holiday game sales are known to be some of the best prices of the year, so it should be expected that the discount being offered is significant. Not all video games can hit the absolute lowest price of the year, but it’s simply not worth it to save a few bucks on a game while others are listed at half off or more.
Game Quality
To each their own, but the overall game quality can’t be ignored. Sale prices that slash 70% or more off a game title may be alluring, but they can also be indicative of issues or bad reviews. The game deals included in this round-up are all for titles that are fun, engaging, and received decent reviews, if not glowing ones. Older games, while not as impressive as the latest and greatest titles, can be excellent deals during Black Friday and allow players to catch up on fan favorites they may have missed.
Platform & Format
Very often, certain games only go on sale for specific consoles. This can happen when a retailer buys way more copies of a game for one platform than any other, or if that retailer has a special partnership with a publisher. Additionally, digital games rarely get marked down, though their physical counterparts can see incredible discounts regardless. Though some players prefer digital over physical games, it’s sometimes prudent to get the version that’s on sale.
What Other Deals And Perks Are Available?
Prime customers can still score some deals before and after the event even begins. Those that have access to Amazon Prime can find sales right now for the following items:
- Prime members looking to try Amazon Music Unlimited can nab three entire months of the service here. Those that don't yet have Prime will be eligible for three months.
- Those looking for audiobooks can try the Audible service free for 30 days, on top of their free 30 day subscription to Prime, giving them a free shot at trying both services.
When The Cyber Monday Sale Begins & Ends
The sale itself will begin on November 28th at 12 A.M. PDT and customers will see savings for at least 24 hours, spreading into November 29th. There should be quite a bit for shoppers to peruse, with large brands on sale, making it the perfect opportunity to score some Holiday deals and knock out some of those wishlists early.
