LATEST FEATURES Being A Console Is Actually Xbox One's Worst Asset
Microsoft's newest console has lots of different features, but video games might hold the device back from the software giant's true intentions.

Everything I Learned About Call of Duty: Ghosts Last Week
I wasn't allowed to talk about the new Infinity Ward game last week when I met with Activision, and I don't have much to say now that Xbox One spilled the beans.

Tell GR: What Did You Buy On Black Friday?

Posted on Saturday, November 24 @ 05:42:47 Eastern by


Starting Thursday night at around 8PM, droves of deal-hungry Americans rushed through retail store doors, trampling anyone who dare stepped in their path of rampage, all in the hopes of saving some money.

Was that you? Did you trample anyone? See anything crazy happen? Score any good deals? Whatever happened on your Black Friday, Tell GR how it went.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

    For myself: XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Madden 13, Dishonored, and Forza Horizon. As a gift: LEGO: Lord of the Rings. All online. And mostly all with Amazon credit. I only really spent about $30 otherwise.

    I got Max Payne 3 and GT4 for 25 bucks. There was about a thousand people there and I saw people screaming at each other. I will shop online from now on during black Friday.

    I'm going to make PSLS, Anthony and everyone else who has a PS3 happy. I bought a great PS3 bundle (great so far) at GameStop. 250GB HDD and I got Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Infamous and Infamous 2 with a bunch of DLCs for the games. I also got a free month trial of PS Plus with the deal. It only cost me $200. I can now finally watch Blu-ray movies! Such a great deal for someone who doesn't have a PS3.

    You can watch my adventure here.

    Got Dishonored off Amazon should have it by Monday or Tuesday. I wanted to get that PS3 bundle that came with Infamous and Uncharted but alas, my funds are destined for lesser things like bills and food :(

    I didn't get any games myself, but I did buy a ton of PC components to build my own custom PC. 660Ti graphics card, 3770K Intel quad-core, Crucial 256GB SSD, and a ton of other stuff.

    All thanks to Jonathan. Now my wife is filing for divorce because I spent so much money.

    Black Friday isn't the only time of the year to get good deals. Anyways i stayed home and enjoyed everything people were standing in line for, big tv, Xbox etc. I can barely handle my own insanity let alone having to deal with everyone else's, no thanks

    I bought a vacuum. I was going to get Terraria for like $3 but i tried to reset my steam password which was on my old college email account that locked me out. Gotta wait til Monday to call the IT office to get it unlocked. I think the sale is over by then too. No other way to buy Terraria too...

    I'm mainly a soup person since Chinese soups last for days, but I can cook mapo tofu and a mean steak when I want one.

    No Black Friday here in the 'Pan. Friday was a national holiday though, so I just kept it real at home since I work 6 days a week and having one totally off like that is rare.

    I wasn't planning on getting anything but I decided not to completely miss out on the sale. I ended up buying saints row 3 the complete edition for 24.99 at best buy last night. Today it jumped right back up to 49.99. I was hoping to pick up spec ops for 15 but I missed that one. I also ended up getting forza 3. Never bought any forza games so I decided to give this one a go. Very impressed with it. Have yet to play saints row. Still sitting in the best buy bag wrapped up. Lol
