PSP World

Black Friday Video Game Deals

This weekend traditionally marks the most intense retail shopping period of the year. That's because shops are eager to attract mobs of people who they hope will be ready to open their wallets with holiday giving in mind. In the old days, this was the perfect opportunity to use the "loss leader" technique -- offer 10 DVD players for sale at the low, low price of $10, and once the dust clears and the throngs of people have trampled over the weak to grab the merchandise, hope that they might keep shopping. Nowadays you can avoid lost leaders and all the associated trampling that comes with them simply by shopping online. Amazon, the king of online retail has some amazing deals going on this week specially for gamers, and we have collected some of the best value items for you to check out below. Whether you've got a PSP, Xbox 360, or PS3 console at home, you'll find some great values without even having to leave your house!

Left 4 Dead 2: $39.99

This is probably the hottest game of the season after Modern Warfare 2. It features some of the very best cooperative multiplayer action ever, solid graphics and a great campaign. Fight your way through the zombie infested swamps, streets and carnival amusements of a dilapidated Southern USA, scavenging for weapons, health packs and molotovs as you go. Really, we can't recommend this game enough.

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars: $29.95

Older gamers know that Rockstar made fantastic 2D games before GTA III hit it big on the Playstation 2. The developers have decided to go back to their roots with this new portable installment and it has paid off. Chinatown Wars features great graphics, some cool gameplay innovations, and a long single-player story mode. For the price you really can't beat this addictive action title that is perfect for the PSP platform.

Tekken 6 (PS3 or Xbox 360) -- $32.98

One of the best fighting games this generation is already on sale. If you missed it earlier, you probably won't find a better price on a new copy. Select from an impressive roster of fighters, each with a signature set of deadly techniques, and unleash your most powerful and lightning-fast moves and combos to overcome your opponent. Customize your character to achieve unique advantages, and battle mano-a-mano as the King of Iron Fist Tournament comes to life around you in stunning high definition.

Wireless DualShock PS3 Controller: $39.99

Do you need another wireless controller for your PS3? Maybe you've made some friends recently having picked up the system, and now they are constantly showing up at your place mysteriously the moment you put in the disc for Uncharted 2. These things are always expensive, but this week you can get one for a decent price. Heck, you could even to have two controllers just for yourself so one is always charged.

Playstation 3 BluRay Remote

You might not think you need a remote to watch BluRay movies on your PS3, but we can think of one good reason why you might: wives and girlfriends. My girl can never figure out how to navigate through movie menus with the unfamiliar video game controller, and this makes things a lot easier. Plus, it is bluetooth enabled so it doesn't use up a precious USB port, and it has specialized buttons for movie watching such as subtitle control. It also performs most of the same functions as a SixAxis, so you can use it to surf the web.

Blu Ray Movies -- James Bond Collection $31.99

Now that you have a PS3 and a remote, you're going to need some movies to watch. Lucky for you, MGM is releasing re-mastered versions of its classic James Bond films in special boxed collections. This one has three of our favorite Bond movies, a definite must-have for any film collection. Moonraker, Goldfinger and The World is Not Enough, arguably the best one with Pierce Brosnan in it. The video reproduction on each of the movies is so good, it probably exceeds what fans saw in the theater when the films were originally released. Each disc also comes loaded with extra features for true bond fanatics.
