Christmas gift for my son Picked up a Microsoft Xbox one S 5000 GB with FIFA 17 and a free game. Of the available choices I picked up a race game called The Crew and a discounted Xbox live membership for 330.00. This was from the Microsoft website

Nice. The best advertised bundle I have seen is from Dell. It includes a 500 GB Xbox One S, extra controller, Battlefield 1, and Gears of War 4 for $250. Of course, they might only have 6 of them and sell out in 2 seconds.
If you were to buy all this on Amazon right now it would cost you $401.97 ($297 for 500GB Xbox One S Battlefield 1 bundle, $47.99 for Gears of War 4, and $56.98 for one of the new Xbox One controllers.).
Your $330 bundle isn't a bad deal if you want those specific games but it isn't nearly as much of a savings. If you wanted to buy the stuff in that bundle it would cost you $370.28 ($300 for 500 GB Xbox One S Fifa 17 bundle, $15.49 for The Crew, and 54.79 for 12 months of Xbox Live.).
Again, that's not a bad deal if you want those specific games and the Dell.com bundle will probably be nearly impossible to get before they sell out anyways.
Edit: Surprisingly their don't seem to be any PS4 Pro bundles for the holiday season at all. The PS4 Slim comes with Uncharted 4 but people who pay the extra $100 for the Pro model get nothing.
I was thinking the same, As he is a FIFA fan and I had had been scanning the Black Friday ads and this bundle in the Microsoft website seemed to be a good deal overall figuring I would be buying the FIFA game and in the case I eliminate the Black Friday craziness for at least this
Speaking of Dell, I am going to try to snag those 99.00 lap tops for my daughter on Thursday night

They are also doing this deal for American customers at $75.00.

That would normally be a very good deal for two basically new release games. When you compare it to the best price for both of those games individually it doesn't stack up as well though. Both games will be available at Walmart for $27 each bringing the total to $54.
Edit: My mistake. I didn't realize that this bundle was the deluxe version of both games. That makes the value a little better but I would still recommend buying the cheaper base games from Walmart. The deluxe versions don't come with anything that would justify the extra $21 in my opinion.

Rare Replay is $9.90. For those who don't know, that's 30 classic Rare games bundled together. Most of their major releases outside of Donkey Kong 64 are included. I never played most of their games but I just bought this to finally check some of them out.

So, it looks like Green Man Gaming is having a Black Friday sale. I'd tell you more about it, but it looks like everyone is hitting the server so the site is very unstable. Probably this is due to the fact one of their advertised sales is GTA V is 50% off. Not only that, but you can get an extra 10% off with Promo Codes.
Looks like my patience has finally paid off. ;-)

EDIT: Or hopefully it will soon. It's been 4 hours and they're still having problems. Now Cloudflare is putting up a cached version of their website up. Yeah, that'll work on ecommerce..

So I finally got the game purchase to work. Turns out the deal is even better. If you're a VIP member to get an additional discount (which is free) and then apply the 10% discount the final cost is 25.71. Pretty damn good deal IMO.
Of course for me, the best part of the deal was that I didn't pay anything. My $37.50 credit for my refund of Arkham Knight had been waiting for a moment like this, so I got to just use that for the purchase and still have a decent amount left over.
Definitely a nice deal. I'm assuming people who bought it through Steam and people who got Rockstar Social Club codes can still play online together if we ever wanted to try out the online heists. Supposedly they are pretty cool even if you don't like the rest of the GTA Online.
Here are some more deals that are live today. @videogamedeals on Twitter is worth a follow, especially at this time of the year. Also, if past years are any indication Steam will be having one of their giant seasonal sales starting on Friday.
Best Buy has the digital version of Gears of War 4 for $34.99 ($28.00 with their gamers club). Going digital means you get the PC and Xbox One version but the physical version is also available for the same price if you prefer that.

To play online I'm almost positive you need to join the RSSC, so yes everyone is playing on 1 platform. I'm pretty sure that if they were two separate services that we would have heard about it by now. I still don't see myself doing much with that. Given the fact that I can't wait to MOD the game I wouldn't be surprised if I got banned for "cheating" even though I didn't do anything.
Update: Another note about the GMG sale is that you get a free game with each purchase. Of course YMMV and odds are you're not going to get a AAA release from the past 3 years for free. I ended up getting this game that's just 2 months old, although it is part of a franchise apparently. Might record a video about it tonight.

GOG has started their Black Friday sale and added Limbo to GOG Connect.I grabbed Inside for $14.99 just because I want to play it before the year is over since so many people are talking about it for GOTY. It doesn't hurt that it's short enough that I should actually be able to finish it.

More deals...
Mirror's Edge Catalyst is $15.99 on Origin. It has also been added to the Origin Access vault. I almost bought it but I think I will just subscribe to a month of Origin Access for $5 when I want to play it.

The first episode of Tales from the Borderlands is free on PSN. PS Plus members can get the season pass to unlock the rest of the episodes for $1.49. I highly recommend this one.
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...pass/cid=UP2026-CUSA00870_00-TBL0000000000000
PSN also has a pretty big sale going on that includes the lowest price I have seen on Far Cry Primal and Assassin's Creed Syndicate at $14.99 as well as some other good deals like GTA V and Hitman: The Complete First Season for $29.99. The Witcher 3 Complete Edition is an awesome deal at $24.99 too.

Sales are EVERYWHERE... If there's a store you go to for video games, odds are very likely they're having a sale. Honestly at this point the best places to go to are CheapAssGamer and the GameDeals Subreddit, or just go to the stores and search for a game you're interested in.
On a side note, when the hell did Black Friday become a week long event? I guess I missed that memo. Probably got caught in my spam filter.

The way I see it, the worst that could happen is that I get temporarily banned from GTA Online. Since I don't care about GTA Online anyways that isn't much of a problem.

The Steam Autumn Sale is live. I've just done a quick glance at the deals at the top of the page so far but the only thing I'm buying as of right now is Hitman at 50% off. This is the same deal that was offered last weekend but I wanted to wait and see if it would go lower once the Black Friday deals were live.

The Steam Link is $19.99 on Amazon. I can easily recommend this if you have your gaming PC at a desk but would like to play some games on your living room TV and surround sound system. I use mine all the time.

Just Dance 2017 is 50-60% off today($19.99) on current and last gen systems. The track list is making me feel very old, but this might be a good pick up for any little ones on your holiday shopping list.
