Rumor: Best Buy's 2009 Black Friday deals
by Richard Mitchell 
{ Nov 13th 2009 at 3:00PM } 
Several recent Xbox 360 and PS3 releases will be on sale for $34.99, including Brütal Legend, Left 4 Dead 2, Dragon Age. Many older titles will be $20 or less. Meanwhile, several Wii titles will be reduced to $14.99, while certain DS titles will drop to $9.99 or less. Hit the source link for the full (and still rumored) set of deals. We've contacted Best Buy to verify the ad.
Update: Best Buy has responded to Joystiq about the ad, saying, "As a matter of company policy, Best Buy does not comment on rumor and speculation and so we are unable to confirm if our Black Friday insert has leaked."

Damn, Dragon Age and L4D2 for $35 each is fantastic. Unfortunately I'll be traveling to the middle of nowhere for Thanksgiving and can't cash in unless this is good online also.
NaeemTHM @ Nov 13th 2009 3:12PM
Indeed! Dragon Age GET!
roger @ Nov 13th 2009 3:16PM
I wasn't going to buy L4d2 unless it hit $30, but I guess $35 is good enough for me.
Jeramy @ Nov 13th 2009 3:39PM
amazon usually matches everyone's black friday deals, so check into that
D-Whizzle @ Nov 13th 2009 4:04PM
its not worth waiting 400 hours in my book to save $15.
skitchbeatz @ Nov 13th 2009 10:04PM
you'd be saving $25, not $15. Almost 50% off

It might be about time to pick up that second ps3...
GiggMan @ Nov 13th 2009 3:23PM
Say true.... My son is hogging mine all the time and he wants R&C and LBP for Christmas.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Nov 13th 2009 5:40PM
Are you saying that you're going to pick up a second PS3 or kill your son?
Michael K. @ Nov 15th 2009 7:52PM
a ps3, r&c, and littlebigplanet... wouldn't that be three birds?
Chris @ Nov 13th 2009 3:10PM
I know where I'm buying my 360 copy of L4D2 now :)
kentuckyfried @ Nov 13th 2009 10:49PM
Yeah you, me, and everybody's mother.
Ughhh....why must they sell it so cheap? I didn't want to bother getting involved with all that Black Friday nonsense.
Levi @ Nov 15th 2009 7:00PM
I wasn't even sure I was gonna get it, let alone so close to release. That price not only sealed the deal, but is going to be the reason I'll be going out on a Black Friday for the first time ever.
Hell, I'd buy way more games if they were $35 at launch.
Orchard Pear @ Nov 13th 2009 3:11PM
Hmm, a PS3 and two blockbuster titles for $299.. very nice. Looks like it's going to be a very Sony Christmas this year.
CBXweb @ Nov 13th 2009 3:13PM
Nothing blew me away :/. I would of assumed that stores would let out some Crazy Gideon-esqe deals, but I am disappointed. But never assume because you can make an ass of u & me :|.
superklye @ Nov 13th 2009 3:28PM
But this time it was just you.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 13th 2009 3:13PM
Damn, ive never done Black Friday before, but i think I might have to so I cant get copies of Dragon Age for Christmas gifts, as well as shamefully, a new collector's edition for myself since my steel case got horribly scratched. I know i know, Im a monster but I need a good case!
Orchard Pear @ Nov 13th 2009 3:22PM
I wish I could motivate myself to actually get up and do this crap, but I can't justify it. The crowds, standing in line, not even being guaranteed to get what you want, etc.. it doesn't seem worth it to me. =(
I salute you, though, if you do go.
GiggMan @ Nov 13th 2009 3:26PM
Word of advice Wayne....
Lock the Batmobile at all times and take plenty of batarangs, you're gonna need em.
You think scarecrow is scary you aint seen nothing.
arkweld @ Nov 13th 2009 3:28PM
Nothing is cheap enough this time around to justify waiting in the cold from 3am.
Gogamer will probably be offering a Madness deal for DA and other games on the list before the holidays at similar prices.
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 13th 2009 3:32PM
Im pretty sure I can just incoherently growl and mumble intimidatingly at anyone who tries to trample me, and the batsuit comes with err, thermal, nano powered long johns so cold isnt a problem
deyanimay @ Nov 13th 2009 3:40PM
I miss the free stuff.
HardBoiled2009 @ Nov 13th 2009 3:13PM
that's a nice deal for the PS3, i wish i could go down the states for some of those deals and come back with them... oh well enjoy them My American Neighbors
Shagittarius @ Nov 13th 2009 3:17PM
Stay the hell off my lawn!
HardBoiled2009 @ Nov 13th 2009 5:01PM
Sorry Shag
it seems i may Have A Way Down for the deals. I gotta get Deals Somehow haha
Dragon Orgins + Brutal Legends Here i come !
MLC (PSN: Myke-Myke & XBL: MLC45) @ Nov 13th 2009 3:14PM
Unfortunately, my 60GB died this past week but now seeing this, pretty good deal!
By the way, PS2 games look like crap in HD. I'll miss the MC readers/USBs but I can buy hub. PS3 Slim, here I come...
Shagittarius @ Nov 13th 2009 3:15PM
"Meanwhile, several Wii titles will be reduced to $14.99..."
Sweet time to pick up "Petz: Emegezy Doctorz", "Wii Walk", and "Look like a Douche-bag XXXIII"!
CaramelZappa @ Nov 13th 2009 3:23PM
Yea yea the wii is full of shovelware. How original, never head that before.
But on that $14.99 list is Pikmin, which is awesome.
Enosoma @ Nov 13th 2009 8:07PM
The $14.99 Wii games are:
ExciteBots
MySims Snowboard (from the pic, I think that's what it says)
Madagascar Escape 2 Africa
Boom Blox Bash Party
New Play Pikmin
Cooking Mama
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Atlantis1982 @ Nov 14th 2009 11:47PM
Hopefully the Ultimate Marvel Alliance is the first, not the sucktastic second game.
I don't care what anyone else says, I liked the first one.

It's a shame Canada doesn't have something similar to Black Friday other than Boxing Day, but at least no one here gets trampled for stupid things =D
charlie b. @ Nov 13th 2009 3:22PM
you're clearly jealous.
Huey2k2 @ Nov 13th 2009 3:28PM
Boxing day IS the Canadian black Friday.
And I like it that way.
Toop @ Nov 13th 2009 3:32PM
I live really close to the border and tons of people make the trip across for these sales.
Still, I am jealous. :D
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 13th 2009 3:47PM
The trampling should ease up. Wal-Mart is holding early sales (like last weekend) to try and pull in the customers earlier, so they don't have the insane rushes. And they've got experts planning how best to organize it.

Traceur_Ryuk [Founder of The Anti-EMCB(tm) and co-leader of ATDF] (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Nov 13th 2009 5:19PM
It doesn't matter, there is always at least one death on Black Friday no matter the case.
useedems @ Nov 13th 2009 9:06PM
@Traceur: Yeah but the Black Friday deaths are usually the PeopleofWalmart.com champions having heart attacks from moving more than 1.5 feet per second.
CaramelZappa @ Nov 13th 2009 3:21PM
Maybe I'll finally pick up Brutal Legend.
Feist77 @ Nov 13th 2009 3:28PM
The bundle comes with Lego Batman and Pure, and the 4 free games are Sonic the Hedgehog, Spider-Man Web of Shadows, Wall-E, and Ghost Recon 2.
KFelon @ Nov 13th 2009 3:28PM
I wonder if Wal*Mart will be price matching everyone else's ads this year if you bring them in.
Feist77 @ Nov 13th 2009 3:30PM
All the new adscans in PDF format are at bfads.net. This is the exact location http://bfads.net/Adscans
AsherR [Planeteer | Power of The Hoff] @ Nov 13th 2009 3:32PM
Hrm.... perhaps it's time to get myself a PS3? Or do I keep leaching my roommate's?
Oh this is my favorite BF Ad site if anyone cares.... http://www.black-friday.net/
nick @ Nov 13th 2009 3:41PM
The Xbox 360 for $299 with 6 games is a pretty great deal. Too bad I already own one, otherwise I would have been very tempted by that offer. And well, I already own a PS3 and Little Big Planet as well.

Wow...it is really sad to see what the United States really values.
The whole period from November 1st until December 25th has turned into a consumption
The holiday season is supposed to be a time when we sit down and enjoy the company of our families while we reminisce about our forefathers that sat down with the Natives and ceremoniously swindled them of their land and murdered them...wait...
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 13th 2009 3:52PM
Never mind the memories, what are you getting me this year?
Jack Tretton @ Nov 13th 2009 4:16PM
"[I]t is really sad to see what the United States really values."
Ooh! Ooh! I can play this game!
Guns
SUVs
Cheap beer
Brangelina
Not bidets
Reality TV
heyo007 @ Nov 13th 2009 4:22PM
My sentiments, exactly, with Lurkero but, damn, did that comment from Darth make me laugh. Good show. :)
useedems @ Nov 13th 2009 9:07PM
Bravo my good man. Even though the half-literate joystiqerati didn't wait til the end of your comment for the delicious slice of irony before they voted you down, you are a fine commenter in my book.
RedSonRising @ Nov 13th 2009 3:44PM
