Black Friday deals have gamers grinning

Thanksgiving's almost here, and with it comes what's by far the biggest shopping day of the year -- Black Friday. But before you set your alarm clock, pack your sandwiches, and head out to tackle the crowds, get educated. We've boiled the week's ads down into the most tempting deals for gamers -- and for those shopping for them.

This year, retailers are favoring console bundle deals over straight price cuts, and there are some seriously tempting packages out there, like Walmart's PS3 offer that throws in top superhero games Infamous and Batman: Arkham Asylum -- plus The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray -- for the same $299 the base console costs. That's a savings of nearly $150.

On the games front, most major retailers are slashing prices on even the newest of releases. Dragon Age: Origins -- released just two weeks ago -- will be on sale for $34.99 at Best Buy, a $15 saving, and it's by no means the only bargain. Smash hit The Sims 3 will be available at several stores for under $30, while Rock Band (complete with guitar, mic, and drums) can be rocked for an astounding $50 at Walmart.

Read on for our picks of the best deals from each store, but there are lots more. Check www.blackfriday.info for complete details.
