GAME Deals

Retailer Game has kicked off its Black Friday deals with discounts on Xbox One and PS4 consoles and software.

When we looked online at 3.50pm on Sat 26 Nov, we found that some products included in Game's Black Friday deals were cheaper elsewhere, so always do your own research before buying.

We've picked out what we view as the best of the current batch of deals at Game. The console bundles listed are either exclusive to Game or feature add-ons such as Now TV passes, so we haven't been able to carry out exact price comparisons (see our Xbox One and PS4 deals pages for alternative bundles at other retailers). However, we think the offers below are highly competitive and so worth a look.

Strong Xbox One offers:

• Xbox One S 500GB with Minecraft and Forza Horizon 3 and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £199.99 (was inititally £229.99 on Black Friday).
• Xbox One S 500GB (white) with FIFA 17, an extra Xbox One controller and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £229.99.
• Xbox One S 500GB (grey) with FIFA 17, an extra Xbox One controller and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £229.99.

Strong PS4 offers:

• PS4 Slim 500GB with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and FIFA 17 and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £199.99.
• PS4 Slim 500GB with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £199.99.
• PS4 Slim 500GB with Overwatch and Ratchet & Clank and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £199.99.
• PS4 Slim 500GB with Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2 and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £199.99.
• PS4 Slim 1TB with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £229.99.
• PS4 Pro 1TB console with Infamous: Second Son, Fallout 4 and a two-month Now TV Sky Cinema pass for £349.99.

Important: Don't allow yourself to be taken in by the hype around Black Friday and be sucked into buying something you don’t need or can’t afford. And always do your own price comparisons to ensure you are getting the best deal possible – don’t just take a retailer’s word for it.

There are strong reductions at gaming retailer Game* in store and online, where you'll also find one-hour deals that aren't available in its stores. The Game website has been struggling under the pressure this weekend, but it says it's working to fix the problem.

There's a PS4 + Driveclub + The Last Of Us* bundle, and an Xbox One + Assassin's Creed Unity & Black Flag* bundle both at £299.99 in store and online all day while stocks last. We think these might be among the cheapest on the market (Amazon* is offering the same Xbox bundle for £299.99 if stocks run out here first).

Price details for the one-hour sales will only be confirmed when each one begins, but here's what we think's coming up online until 8pm on Mon 1 Dec:

• 8am - 9am - Lego Marvel Superheroes from £8.52
• 9am - 10am - NBA 2K15 from £18.78
• 10am - 11am - Sunset Overdrive - £29.54
• 11am - 12pm - Assassin's Creed Rogue - £22.25
• 11am - 1pm - Watch Dogs Vigilante Edition - from £16.76
• 12pm - 1pm - Assassin's Creed Unity - £49.99
• 1pm - 2pm - Forza Horizon 2* - from £19.54
• 2pm - 3pm - The Lego Movie videogame* - from £15.79
• 3pm - 4pm - Call of Duty Advanced Warfare*
• 3pm - 4pm - Destiny*
• 4pm - 5pm - X Rocker gaming chairs*
• 5pm - 6pm - The Hobbit Lego*
• 6pm - 7pm - Shadow of Mordor*
• 7pm - 8pm - Just Dance 2015*

If you're after something in particular, go quick because items are likely to sell out fast - but remember to do your own price comparisons before buying. 

NOTE: Due to the time sensitive nature of the Cyber Monday weekend deals, we haven’t been able to fully verify every deal and do our normal analysis. Always do your own research to ensure you are getting the best bargain out there. And remember, don’t just buy it if it’s on offer, buy it if you need it.
