Consumers always come out as the big winner every Black Friday season and the 2015 edition is not any different as biggies like Walmart and GameStop fiercely compete for shoppers' attention and cash. As a result, both the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 can be scooped up for as low as $299. Games on both platforms are up for grabs for only $30.
A quick comparison on the fantastic gaming gadget offers from the two retailers, it would seem that GameStop is easily besting out its titanic rival, Walmart. After all, who can resist a $300 PS4 and the same sticker price applies to the Xbox One. In both packages, buyers will save $50 from the original mark, BGR said in a report.
The cheapest Xbox One on GameStop is a Gears of War Bundle that comes with 500GB of hard disk - the asking price is $299. The PS4 from the same outlet is also priced at $299, packed with Uncharted Collection Bundle and 500GB of storage space.
GameStop also offers top-tier Xbox One bundles labelled as Holiday and Elite. The add-ons include 1TB of solid state Hybrid Drive and Xbox's Elite Wireless Controller. The asking price is between $350 and $450, depending on what buyers would pick.
Over at Walmart, the following are ready to ship out as part of the retailer's online Black Friday deals that start November 6:
- PS4 Call Of Duty III Limited Edition Bundle with Madden or FIFA 16 Game at $429
- Xbox One 1TB FIFA 16 Limited Edition Bundle with headset and controller at $399
A closer on the details will reveal that Walmart's offers are the best bang for the bucks in terms of savings plus better specifications. And to further increase the temptation meter, the items will be delivered on buyers' doorstep free of charge so shopping is totally hassle-free.
Walmart's Black Friday online deals, according to Gotta Be Mobile, will not only start early but will also run the entire 2015 holiday season. This means that the Xbox One and PS4 bundles will be out there ready taking up to Cyber Monday and all the way to Christmas time.
Now while GameStop's console offerings may have been undercut by Walmart's, the former's game title promos should lure in hordes of buyers, BGR said. Consider the list below:
- Rock Band 4 Guitar Bundle with free 5 bonus song pack at $130
- Lego Dimensions Starter Pack at $80
- Guitar Hero Live for PS4 at $70
- Mortal Combat X Limited Edition at $50
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 with free headset at $40
- The Witcher Wild Hunt game bonus Steel Book at $30
And for Black Friday shoppers that are on strict budget, GameStop accommodates with its pre-owned Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles that are ready to fly for as low as $80. Nintendo 3DS handheld also sells on dirt-cheap tag of $80.
The best part, BGR said, is buyers getting any two of the items are entitled to pick one similar device absolutely free, which is GameStop's way of playing Santa this Christmas 2015.
