Amazon Black Friday: Monday
Today marks the start of Amazon’s Black Friday sale, with a bunch of deals all day, everyday, up until Friday. They have promised “Over 60% off Microsoft Xbox consoles & Nintendo Wii consoles”, and sure enough they have already made their stock of the 250gb Xbox 360 and Black Nintendo Wii unavailable, so it’s safe to bet it’ll be these two being reduced. If Amazon are discounting just the consoles on their own, it’d be sub £80 for one of the shiny new 250gb 360s and sub £72 for a Black Wii. The deals kick off at 9am, with new deals arriving on the hour every hour. Some items we know what they are (but not how much they will be discounted by), and some are a surprise.
Updates on what is on offer at any one time can be found here. The better deals will probably go out of stock very quickly, so check back regularly.
Here are the gaming related or unknown deals to look out for over the next 24 hours, and a schedule for when they will be available:
10.00am: Unknown item “A great muggle evening in”. Harry Potter related? There have been lots of Harry Potter games.

Direct2Drive offer Price match guarantee
Update: This price match is actually useless. Read this follow up for details.
Direct2Drive are offering a price match guarantee against Gamestop.com, Gamersgate.com and Steam. If anything gets a discount from any of those three outlets, you can buy it from Direct2Drive, and they will give you store credit equivalent to the difference. If you’d like to get the Steam sale discounts without using Steam, then this is your chance.
You go through the submit a ticket system, and link to where it is cheaper on the day of purchase, and include a screenshot. The terms and conditions are here.
This offer is available until the 31st of December.
Reasons people might want to do this:
If you don’t like the DRM of the Steam client, you can get games without it.
Presumably devs will be getting commission at full rate (although that is speculation).
You can avoid GamersGates somewhat fiddly standalone downloaders.Reasons people might not want to do this:
I’d prefer to just get the games for the cheaper amount, and be forced to spend more at D2D further down the line.
It is Rupert Murdoch.Cheers to astute SavyGamer reader LostSoviet for the tip off.
