Video games are expensive, which is what makes Black Friday great particularly for gamers: you can grab both games and hardware for steep discounts. It's good for catching up on titles you may have missed through the year, upgrading your PC, or finally taking the plunge on a new console. Different retailers are offering a lot of the same products at the same prices this year — including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One bundles after both Sony and Microsoft announced price cuts to their latest consoles — but you can get yourself prepared for the Black Friday frenzy with some of the best deals below.
