So, Black Friday is over and Cyber Monday is coming up.
What did you manage to get? Gaming deals or otherwise, post your great deals here.
So far, I've got...well...nothing. Nothing has really enticed me in terms of game offers, or in other areas either, to be honest. But hey, Cyber Monday is on the way, so never say never...
The only deal that sparked my interest video game wise was Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition on the PS Store for $35 which I snagged and quite honestly was hoping for a Black Friday sale on that game.
Non gaming I got one of my son's Christmas gifts an electric/acoustic guitar and case that went for $300 but I picked it for $210 as part of a Black Friday deal at a local music store.
Looking forward to Cyber Monday now.

Best deal I got has to be my Surface Pro 3 - got £110 off it at Curry's - it's a beast!
Gaming wise I picked up (all digitally) The Walking Dead bundle (£20 for both seasons), The Evil Within (£25) and will get the Project Spark bundle thing before the weekend is over so I can actually play more than the tutorial level in the little RPG game.
I *almost* did the laziest thing ever and traded in my disc copy of Titanfall as it would net me as much to trade as the digital version was on sale for. All to save me having to get up to put the disc in the drive.
I just got the Walking Dead bundle, been umming and aahing over it on a physical disc, but they were about £25 each! Both digitally for £20 was too good to miss.

Logic prevailed over laziness, fortunately.
surely that would be the sensible option? if you aren't getting rid of titanfall and you can change it to a digital version at no extra cost wouldn't that be better than having a disc that could get damaged?

I love not having to get up and change discs... having my entire game collection available to browse through from the comfort of the sofa... being able to launch any game by voice command. I'm happy to pay a small premium for that convenience. You wouldn't have had to pay anything after trading so I say your logic is flawed

Well, yeah...I can't pull that though, as I've never damaged a disc so people see right through it when I use that excuse.
I went all digital months ago. I much prefer having everything on my screen, I can swap and change games as the mood takes me and I don't have to backtrack through my games to work out which boxes they might be in!
Black Friday wise - I didn't buy much as the deals weren't amazing on the items I wanted. The only thing I picked up was an Xbox 360 E 250gb with Gears of War Judgment, Halo 4, GTA V and £15 of Microsoft store credit for £99.99.
I've missed my arcade games so I'm really happy with this purchase, though I would have like to see an Xbox one for under £250 so I could have a party console in the living room.
they're £269 at gamestop.co.uk not the £250 you're hoping for but still pretty good.

I'm basically the exact opposite. I go as physical as I can. I've actually imported UK versions of games like Ratchet & Clank Trilogy on Vita and Infamous: First Light since they were digital-only in the States

I was heading toward the all-digital route, but then publishers and PR companies decided that posting physical review copies of games was more cost-effective than just emailing a download code, for some reason. So I'm back to having a stack of physical games once again.
I am kind of split when it comes to an all digital or all physical collection. The biggest problem I have with digital games is that there is no way to trade them in so if you buy a bad game you are stuck with it.
For someone like me who trades in games that I don't play anymore to lower the cost that's a big deal sometimes that's the only way I can afford a new game. With digital games you just can't do that.
So games I know that I will end up replaying even years from now or at least for the duration of the consoles life span (Grand Theft Auto V, Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition) I buy digital versions off if they are on sale. Other games that I know that once I finish them I will trade in I buy physical copies.
Right now most of my PS4 library is digital but that's because of the PSN+ Free games but of the games I bought half are digital and half are physical
NBA 2K14 -- Physical Grand Theft Auto V -- Physical Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition -- Digital Injustice: Gods Among Us -- Digital
As for my 3DS All my games are physical except for VC games and a few eShop only games (Like Gunman Clive and Azure Strikers Gunvolt) which can only be bought digitally. The reason for that is so I can save the space on my SD card for VC games.
My Wii U like my 3DS are all physical except for New Super Mario Bros which is because of the deal with Mario Kart 8 again I want to save my hard drive space for VC games and eShop digital only games.
So yeah I am kinda of 50/50 on digital vs physical.

I prefer a disc, its nice to be able to touch something for the money it represents! Being a bit of a hoarder (when I sold my 360, I traded in just under 300 games at GAME)I tend not to trade in, but its nice to have the option.

I traded in my 360 and 95% of the games at the weekend for a pretty tidy sum so I can see the merit of that argument. However I then bought one of the new 360's with the 500GB HDD with some of the money so I could continue my march into an all digital future lol.
Also offloaded my PS Vita (such a disappointment) and all the games with it. Put all the extra cash towards the Surface Pro I got in the Black Friday sale.
