GameStop Black Friday 2009 Ad vs. Best Buy’s Gaming Ads

By: Daniel Chubb | November 21, 2009 | 8 Comments

It’s been pretty simple in the past when buying video games; you head to a game specialist like GameStop. Today you may not be wise to do just that, shopping around at the big stores that sell everything could be a good option.

Best Buy sells a wide range of goods, and they have undercut traditional gaming stores many times. So where will you be shopping for games this Black Friday in 2009?

When looking at GameStop’s 2009 Black Friday ad, and comparing it to Best Buy’s gaming ads, we see some interesting things. Both stores will do a better deal on certain games, like Fallout 3 for PS3 and Xbox 360 being $49.99 in GameStop’s Black Friday ad, and only $19.99 in Best Buy’s.

Best Buy also have has the new FIFA Soccer 10 game as a doorbuster deal; it’s selling on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for just $34.99. Where you shop should depend on what games you want, so check out Best Buy’s Black Friday ad here, and Game Stop’s here.

    Just wanted to point out that GameStop is selling the ‘Game of the Year Edition’ of ‘Fallout 3′ (which was only recently released) for $50, and Best Buy is selling the year-old original edition for $20.

    Good point Jalex. And, “Best Buy also have the new FIFA Soccer 10 ” should be “Best Buy also has. . .”

    Well Gamestop is showing PS3 console w/3 games for $299.99 BestBuy is Showing PS3 console /2 games for $299.99 an extra game rules in favor for GameStop in my rule book. But i wonder which games does GameStop is giving? BestBuy offers Big Little Planet & a Rachet & Clank game, either one of those are good games. So just a matter of what you want.

    I am new to this whole “gaming thing” I am going to purchase a PS3 but was wondering about a few things. Are all the games 1 or more players or do you need to buy the game specifically for 2 or more. I am asking because I am wondering if I need to purchase another game controller right away or not. Also there is a great deal on Amazon for the PS3 and the media kit for 319.94 but no games or I can buy the media kit seperately for 29.95 and the console w/one controller from Game stop for 299.99 with a few games. It’s all so confusing. Also is there a big difference between the slim and the regular other than the obvious of it being slimmer. Also does anyone think Amazon’s price will lower on Black Friday?

    on that note. You’d want to go with the game of the year since its the game brand new and all 5 of the expansions! So 50 bucks is cheaper than buying the game new with all the expansions! considering one isnt available for download yet!

    Cori,

    You do not have to buy a 2nd controller but if you plan on playing against a live person such as your friends/family you should.

    Games like Madden 2010 let you play against the machine. They have single player mode so you don’t have to have a controller.

    When you buy a game always read the front and back of the game. Some will tell you one or two player and whether they are online,etc.
