Don’t put away those credit cards just yet — Black Friday may have had a heaping helping of video game deals, but Cyber Monday is no slouch, either.
The good news: You won’t have to elbow your way through throngs of people to get your hands on these bargains. The bad news: The prices, on the whole, aren’t quite as good as they were a few days ago. But a deal’s a deal. Happy clicking!
GAMESTOP
PlayStation 4 with Grand Theft Auto V & The Last of Us Remastered: $399
Matching the popular Black Friday price of many retailers, this bundle, which includes the system and two of its best games, is an easy choice if you’re in the market for a PS4.
Xbox One Assassin’s Creed Unity bundle: $329
Another Black Friday rerun, this package of an Xbox One, a headset, and two Assassin’s Creed games is pretty great. Best Buy and Walmart are also extending the price of this bundle through today.
Xbox 360 Blast from the Past: $130
Prefer a system with a bigger lineup of games? This package includes an Xbox 360 (20 GB) console and six titles: Halo 4, Grand Theft Auto IV, Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Red Dead Redemption. Spectacular in terms of games, though that small hard drive will likely need an upgrade at some point.
Great game deals
GameStop is offering 20 percent off new video games for Xbox 360 and PS3, including NBA 2K15, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, and WWE 2K15 (all $40). Other great bargains: Dark Souls II (Xbox 360, PS3) for $10 and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (PS4, Xbox One) for $30.
And if used games are your jam, GameStop is currently running a “buy two, get one free” deal on any used games or accessories under $20.
BEST BUY
Xbox One Controllers: $40
An extra controller is never a bad thing to have around the house, but who wants to shell out $60 to $65 for them when you can get a game for that amount? Also worth noting: These are Microsoft-made controllers, not third-party ones that tend to feel awkward in your hand.
Nintendo 3DS XL (with $10 eShop Prepaid Card): $175
With Nintendo on the upswing, this is a good time to grab the company’s handheld system if you don’t have one already. The 3DS XL is a much better playing experience than the standard 3DS, plus the price is a $25 savings and the $10 gift card is a little extra gravy.
Great game deals
Wii U games are the big draw here, with a “buy one, get 40 percent off” option. If nothing else, grab copies of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and Mario Kart 8 (or Bayonetta 2) with that deal. Other sales include Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360 and PS3) for $30 and Rocksmith 2014 (all console platforms) for $40.
TARGET
Nintendo 3DS XL with Super Smash Bros.: $199
The hardware price is a bit higher than Best Buy’s, but this bundle comes with arguably the best 3DS game on the holiday market. Available in both red and black.
Great game deals
Not a ton, really. Sunset Overdrive, Far Cry 4, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and other new games will run you $50. That’s a savings of $10 — not the sort of blowout deal you’d expect.
WALMART
Xbox 360 500 GB with Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Black Ops II: $199
The Xbox 360 still has a lot of life left in it, and there are still vibrant player communities online for both of the included Call of Duty games. Plus, the larger hard drive will let you download plenty of other games.
Great game deals
Madden and FIFA are both down to $40 for the Xbox One and PS4. Titanfall for the Xbox One will run you only $25.
AMAZON
Astro Gaming A40 Headset: $100
Astro makes an incredible line of gaming headsets, and the A40 is among the best. Generally, you would pay about twice as much for this pair.
Great game deals
The list will change throughout the day, but one constant is the excellent Dragon Age: Inquisition, which is the site’s “Deal of the Day” at just $45 for all platforms. Other deals include Civilization: Beyond Earth for $35 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, WWE 2K15, and Lords of the Fallen for $40.
STEAM
Great game deals
Too many to list. Steam’s latest sale started Wednesday, and it’s still going strong. The deals change, but as of this writing, you can get Dishonored and Saints Row IV for $5, Far Cry 3 for $7.50, and Divinity: Original Sin for about $25.
