Cyber Monday Deals On Xbox One, PS4 and Suff.

“Cyber Monday” is a sort of a comically anachronistic term, harkening back to a time when people were like: “hey! did you know that the Internet is good for more than just AOL chat rooms?” But here we are, deep into the era when “shopping” basically translates to “Internet shopping,” still calling it Cyber Monday, but getting some great deals nonetheless. We’re seeing some of the same markdowns for Xbox One and PS4 that we got on Friday, with great new software offerings in the mix as well.

First off the bat we’ve got Amazon’s Gold Box deal, worth listing up top because it only lasts for one day. Dragon Age: Inquisition, which most people agree is pretty great if you’re into fantasy, is only $45 on all platforms, which is a solid discount for a brand-new game. Check back throughout the week for more from them.

As with Black Friday, the best hardware deals come to us courtesy of a hungry Microsoft using discounts to thrust its Xbox One back into competition with the PS4, with the spoils going to anyone on the fence about making the upgrade. Walmart has got the Halo: Master chief Collection Xbox One Bundle on Sale for $329 (buy it now so you can spend more time waiting for 343 to fix the multiplayer!), as well as the Xbox One Starter Bundle with free game on sale for $379. Gamestop and Best Buy have comparable bundles as well.

If you’re looking for PS4, that $399 bundle with either The Last of US and GTA 5 or LittleBigPLanet 3 and Lego Batman is still available from a few outlets, so check that out. At Walmart, an extra $50 gets you another free game, which adds up to $10 off whatever you choose. The 3DS XL is on sale for $149, the 2DS for $98.

On the software side, it’s worth looking at Gamestop’s week-long promotion: highlights include Shadow of Mordor for $29.99, Dark Souls for $10.00 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel for $39.99, as well as plenty of other deals on hardware and software. Best Buy has Call of Duty: Ghosts for $14.99, which is still probably too much.


For my money, the best deal in video games has a way of repeating itself every season, coming to us courtesy of Square Enix. Square Enix has had some financial difficulties, but through all of that, it’s continued to publish some of the best games on the market. As a result, we get things like an incredible publisher-wide discount on everything physical and digital, which you can browse here. The best deals are for those still rocking an Xbox 360 or PS3, but they should pique the interest of anyone looking to spend some quality time alone in the coming winter months: we’ve got Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $8.00, Tomb Raider for $12.00 and Sleeping Dogs for $8.00. So that’s three of the best games of the late Xbox 360 and PS3 generation for $28.00, and more than worthwhile. On top of that we’ve got a smattering of Final Fantasy, Hitman, and much, much more. Go check it out.

Those are my highlights, but there are plenty more, so sound off in the comments if there’s something worth calling out. On a completely unrelated note, I should also point out that online suit maker Black Lapel is offering a 40% bonus with any gift card bought today, a pretty excellent deal for the stylish gamer in your life.
