In spite of it all, GameStop has persevered and still gets after it for the ****** Friday and Cyber Monday deals *******. The GameStop near my house closed down in 2021 and I've really missed it. There's something to be said about getting to know your local GameStop staff and talking games with them for a while. I've also been seeing some locations are doing midnight launches again, and my friends, everyone should wait in line to buy a hot new game the second it goes live. You will be among your people, an unbroken ****** of like-minded individuals looking to share in the communal experience of celebrating gaming. I feel like gaming culture was better when we all stood together and talked to one another about how stoked we were for Halo 3. GameStop has some solid ****** Friday video game deals, and if you don't mind buying used, you can actually save a bunch more. But the biggest problem is not all the deals at GameStop are as good as they are at competitors. For example, the 50% off Final Fantasy XVI deal that's been crushing all week isn't at GameStop (it's $5 more than Amazon's ****** Friday price). But lots of others, like Tomb Raider I-III Remaster and Sea of Stars, are the same price as they are at Best Buy's ****** Friday video game sales. Of course, we've been following all the deals and have a full look at all the best ****** Friday deals of 2024, not JUST video game deals. GameStop Best ****** Friday Deals X-Men '97 Magneto Helmet ****** Friday Deal Definitely want to shine some light on this one because, not only is the price of the Magneto X-Men '97 helmet discounted 55%, it's also one of the most popular items I've featured on the IGNDeals X and IGNDeals Instagram accounts this year... and it wasn't even close to this low of a price. Seriously, if you want a cosplay-quality Magneto helmet you can wear comfortably, or you just want to get it for display (it has a stand), this is probably GameStop's best ****** Friday deal going right now. $39.99 ****** Friday Video Game Deals Right now, the selection of $39.99 isn't exactly great. I think ***** of P is probably the stand-out here. That being said, it's still early and I would not be surprised at all if this deals page gets updated with a lot more games, but I would also not be surprised if it didn't. I'm on an even-keel here, nothing can surprise me. $29.99 ****** Friday Video Game Deals Now we're getting somewhere. In spite of what the page might try to make you believe, some of these games are actually cheaper than $29.99, and the selection here is pretty great, too. Stand-out games on this landing page include Mortal Kombat 1, Sea of Stars, and the absolutely excellent Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection Extended Edition. $19.99 ****** Friday Video Game Deals This is the sweet spot in my opinion. The price is excellent and the selection of $20 games on ***** for ****** Friday is also pretty admirable. The stand-outs here are probably Hogwart's Legacy, Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition, Lords of the Fallen and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. But that's just my opinion – I leave it to you to find the games you want to buy. I can only lead you to them, I cannot make up your mind for you. Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off on Plushies I'm just going to go ahead and say you should buy the Sonic the Hedgehog Ice Cream plushie. The real one has ***** eyes made of bubblegum, exactly what you want to enjoy with a frozen treat. There are also a lot of non-Sonic ice cream plushies, too, like Kuromi, Gengar, Squishmallows and more. Nintendo Switch ****** Friday Deals at GameStop GameStop has both the Nintendo Switch ****** Friday Mario Kart bundles, and Pro members save $25, which is a nice little extra bonus savings. Other than that, these have been available since... August, I think? If you know someone who doesn't have a Switch and you're shopping at GameStop anyway, go wild. Should I Wait to Buy Games at GameStop's ****** Friday *****? If you're looking to buy any of the games currently listed on *****, I say go for it. If anything, it'll just add more games as the shopping event heats up. Definitely get on that Sonic plush, though. Who knows how long it will last? It will definitely be worth waiting for the best time to buy a PS5, though, because it's not currently listed, but Sony has announced its ****** Friday deals. Also, you can find GameStop listed in our best gift cards guide as you shop for your loved ones this holiday season.

weird new roguelite on Steam blends the genres of tower defense autobattler and factory builder into a cute, if odd, synergy.
