Ben-DutkaSo who's ready to battle the crowds in the wee hours of the morning on Black Friday?
If you're one of those crazy individuals, Sony has some good news. SCEA has announced exclusive Black Friday deals for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita; several bundles will be available for reduced prices on two of the busiest shopping days of the year.
Firstly, three Vita bundle packages, all of which will retail for only $199.99 and be available on November 23 and 24:
PS Vita Assassin’s Creed® III Liberation Bundle
PS Vita Call of Duty®: Black Ops: Declassified Bundle
Lego® Batman™ 2 Limited Edition PlayStation®Vita Bundle
If you're looking for a great PS3 deal, you can take advantage of a really slick bundle that features the Uncharted Dual Pack and the awesome inFamous Collection . This package features the newly redesigned 250GB PS3 Slim and has a price of $199.99; it will also be available on November 23 and 24. Must-have games included here!
The Ultimate PlayStation®3 Value Bundle, selling at $199.99
Gotta jump on deals like this when they pop up, right?
All great ideas for late adopters. This will be fantastic for sales. A push vs. the 360, perhaps?
Oh cool, according to VGcharts, PS3 is outselling the 360 and Wii so far this year globally. PS3 has sold 7.8 mil and 360 has sold 6.2 mil. Wii sold 3.4 mil this year.
Overall totals? PS3 is at 68.3M and 360 is at 70.0M. It won't be long now. And with a whole year less!
EDIT: Ha! Looks like Ben's other article has more up to date information than I had from VGcharts.

I believe if we counted up all of those RROD'ed boxs, those 3 separate one million+ Xbox bans that M$ did, plus all the contests, giveaways, and TV shows(Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Times Square Kinect launch, the Oprah, the Ellen, & the Jimmy Fallon shows, that 3 month long nation-wide BurgerKing Xbox contest, etc, just to name a few) that the PS3 had actually surpassed the 360 a while back.
Wow, nice PS3 deal! I have to buy one for Christmas so this will work. Will I get one? We'll see, time to set the alarm! 🙂
Okay so here's what I need to know, is the PS3 value pack available online or only in stores?
'er ya go, D!
The PSblog only says "check retailers for availability", but you should be able to check right here to see who has what……..

If I had to choose one of the bundles for xmas I'd pick that Lego Batman bundle.
Temjin wouldn't mind having an AC bundled Vita for $200. Now I just need $190 and Amazon to offer this deal………..
If anyone hears of any other awesome black Friday/cyber Monday deal please share.

karneli lll,
Just an FYI,
While you're at it, you should also go into the forum every day & click on "Gaming discussion", and then you'll find a sticky thread there called "Good deals for gamers" that I made a while back.
A lot of us post new deals we find in there, & I've posted over 3 different deals in the last week myself.
BTW, some of those deals I find are "24 hour only" deals, so you might only have that 1 day to jump on some of the deals(but I always add a notation if they're only 24 HR deals).
Matter of fact, I just put a new 24 hour deal in there this morning, on new "RED" PS3 DualShock controllers, for only $29.99, and with FREE shipping too.
Hell, I'll make it even easier for you….here's the newest deals page,
Just scroll down to today's date on the ad's….

Cheers!
Knew I should have waited until black friday for a vita…
ah well. happy hunting everyone, think I'm officially staying off the roads this black friday.
Wow. Those are smoking deals.
That PS3 offer is an awesome deal. I mean really…
Uncharted, uncharted 2, inFamous and inFamous 2 plus a 250GB PS3 for $199 – that's nuts. Even considering the collection prices that still puts the PS3 at about $140 for the core unit – which is a steal, especially of you don't already own those games.
plus Festival of Blood
Isn't that an expansion of inFamous2?
Is that ps3 bundle the regular slim or is it the super slim?
newly redesigned 250GB PS3 Slim.
