Deals and bargains. Not necessarily in that order.

Go look through the twitter posts from places like IGN, Gamespot, Game Informer, Polygon, etc. Plenty of comments to be seen from Xbox fans.

"Doesn't matter because PS4 has no games", "Hey PS4 fanboys! Doesn't this mean Sony is desperate?!", <insert implication that Halo 5 is all that matters>.

How can you not imagine fanboys acting like fanboys?

EDIT: Wow. IGN and Game Informer removed a ton of comments. There is now a 3 hour gap in the IGN comments if that tells you anything.

I find the idea that someone can't see the difference between a $50 price cut after almost 2 years and a $150 cut after about 1 year, pretty hilarious. Fanboys will be fanboys, I guess.

I dont want Star wars battlefront for PS4 though :/

Also I already have all the classic Star Wars games on PC (Steam and GOG) lol.

If it's a physical game then you could take it out and exchange it for another game you'd want at a retailer.

So what can we expect on black friday?

my favorite posts are from foodfather calling this "shady business practice".

Haha I told you the cut would be today  

Cool to see Canada have even a bigger price drop. With some bundles that's like a $100 US cut!

Yeah I was reading that...WTF was that all about. I kind of stop paying attention to his posts when he said it was supposed to be shady business practice, just seems weird and screams salty as fudge to me.

he never makes a coherent point.  you know you're way off base when even ludicousspeed comes in and says your point against sony is wrong.

Wait, what? Did he try to elaborate on that? How in the devil could you call this shady?

Or how about dropping the Kinect and thus the price of the X1 after about 6 months on the market and after Microsoft made it sound like the Kinect was going nowhere? Or the sudden announcement of a Titanfall bundle just a couple months after launch that went for the same price? So many early adopters got screwed out of a free copy of Titanfall.

i had forgotten about the TF crud lol  i really dont know how people trust a word from them

If MS doesn't cut the price then that kinda opens up October NPD to be taken by the PS4 after all. This will be interesting to watch.
