I'm so glad I waited on Daymare! Yoi were right! And wow, a Cocoon reference. Damn lol. The funny thing is I know exactly the reference, lol. Knight Witch is awesome, but is really really hard. I gave up. Should go back to it. Dude I want that Ms Pac Man barcade. I like thats its a little smaller and Ms Pac Man. Is the best. I love the SNES version. Awesome pickups dude!
Reggie, I would have never guessed the stores would be so sneaky, in ripping off their customers. Thank you as usual, for an interesting and informative video!
I stopped doing Black Friday. Its not what it use to be. Its not fun to us anymore. But didn’t know they were fraudulent with the price and Im definitely not interested in Black Friday. But people shouldn’t do Black Friday anymore and I guaranteed it will change for our best interest.
I was once in a tech store here in the netherlands and noticed that some products were more expensive during black friday than before that...I checked the prices about a two weeks before black friday and they actually raised the prices during black friday.
I bought my TV during Super Bowl time. During that time the older TV models would drop drastically in prices. I looked at Best Buy and compared the TV I bought with the newer model and there wasn’t many changes to the newer model so I bought the old model and on top of the price drop it was on sale. The sales person at Best Buy also told me Black Friday is the worst time to buy TVs because there’s really no deals as you were just showing in the video. If I do black Friday shopping. I normally go online and have my items shipped to me. Going in the store where people act like animals. Even when there’s regular deals going on people act like animals like the trying to get the last TV in the store. Great video Reggie. 😊
@The_RadicalOne its not even like the deals seemed good. Gaming had some decent. But bigger electronics.. you can def get cheaper in later holidays. Just finished the video too.. wish arcade1up actually discounted some good cabinets.
I got me a MetaQuest 3 and an Oled SteamDeck (SteamDecks somehow still can't be bought in my country) now I get it shipped from the US on a discount and with the inflated US currency for cheap
Just to help clarify your Target video. I worked at Target for years. On Black Friday, they would print out specific "Black Friday" signage. Some of those items, if we had enough in stock and in distribution centers, would stay on sale for the remainder of the week, until Saturday night when the new add is set. What actually happens is that the stores stock up on these items, and then they want to sell them all. If you watch that clip, it is a sale sign underneath. So that item went on sale during the Black Friday sale, and would have remained that price until Sunday. It wasn't so much "ripping off customers" as it was preparing for the day after Black Friday. There was probably a third sign under there with the everyday price that was $50 higher.
And that Wal-Mart tag (worked there too) is not a Black Friday sale. It is a roll back. The price has been lowered, for good. So the tag is the new price. Nothing to do with Black Friday. Yes, some deals are sales that have happened before and will happen again after Black Friday, but people are really over-reacting on this video.
Retailers are very sneaky. You the buyer has to know how much a product sells for to really know it’s a deal. For example, a gamer would know that most new games are $60 - 70 at release. If you wait a few months you can buy it for $50 or less. There are a few exceptions like games published by Nintendo and a few Sony exclusives etc. If you can snag one for less than $40 is definitely a great deal. Yet many people don’t know this especially parents.
Yeah, I stuck to online for the Black Friday sales leading up to the actual Black Friday. From Gamestop I got Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined, Recompiled: Limited Edition (never heard of it until this sale), and Wanted: Dead all new for 15 bucks each. From Best Buy I got Samba de Amigo: Party Central ($15), Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Cosmic Edition ($15), Sonic Superstars ($40), Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World ($15), and Sonic Origins Plus ($25). Btw, Sega was wildin' for releasing Sonic Superstars for 60 bucks out the gate. Glad I waited for the price drop. I wouldn't be surprised if they re-released Sonic Superstars with the bonus digital stuff and more down the line.
I swear that daymare has ripped off the number lock from the resident evil remake series even down the the shaking animation when u input the wrong code 😂
Hell yeah lets go! Word its all a game on BF too. They wont give out rainchecks and just advertise things with super limited quantities to get people into the store and sell them something else! in Other cases the SKUs are a bit different on purpose per store with actually lesser features to come up with the super attractive pricing.
You definitely have to do your research and compare sales at different retailers. Target had some killer Black Friday sales this year. I bought my first countercades as well. That Marvel vs Capcom one was $99. Target almost screwed up my order when I went to pick it up. Had me waiting for an hour but came through. I also bought the Mortal Kombat countercade for a good price as well! Good video Reggie!
Awesome pick ups Reggie! Good to warn people and remind them that they should always be aware and think. Keep up the great hunt! Keep the love and passion alive!
Target pricing differently online vs in store, is stills going on. happened to me today., Had to pull up the app so they could "Price match". Tho I had to point out that the app said that the "deal/special" was also in store and had to point this out to the person.
I hate that they put out physical games that are unplayable without a patch. Defeats the entire purpose of collecting games if you can't play them years later.
Reminds me when I worked at the newspaper. Ever day after Thanksgiving the front page was about a stampede at walmart. Looks like nothing has changed; Christmas is still about ramped consumerism. Anyway-- enough of that--- I need to focus my criticism on game released incomplete. Like the mini washing machine. I don't think it's possible to release one of those incomplete. Well, they could only that it would be real obvious looking at it.
Man Reggie considering how amazing they always run looked I'm surprised you didn't talk about it more. That game looked absolutely beautiful I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it
I got one for you , I went to Walmart over black Friday and got some transformers the tag was 24.97 and they came up for 6.00 but they wild thing was these was ones that just came out . I went to another Walmart in the same area they had the same ones for the regular price.
My local bike shop did this years ago where they marked everything up 12% - 20% and then had a 10% off sale. I needed some chain wax and took a closer look when I got home and they put the new sticker tag very carefully on top of the old one. But you could still peel it back and see that they marked it up a dollar so I was still paying $0.30 more than I normally would.
Yep I've seen way too much of that in Canada of these so called Black Friday Sales are the same as the regular price. It's sad what people and stores will do to try and ripoff others for a quick buck. But enough of that... That Star Renegades package looks awesome! Also I still need Granblue Fantasy: Versus Premium Edition myself. My big Black Friday game I got was a personal holy grail for me, my number 1 sought out 3DS game. I got Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology from VGP for $55 CAD so happy I was finally able to get it and I'm loving it so much. Great stuff as always Reggie!
Heads ups, Reggie, a new version of Granblue is coming out on the 13th this month w/ all the DLC, new characters, rollback, & even their own Fallguys clone. I love those fighting games. You always come thru in these pick up vids.
Saw those washing machines at a gun show a few months ago ($12 at the show), and I really thought it was a portable camping toilet until the salesman explained what it really was.
I would never deal with big crowds like that. I would rather pay the extra $50 bucks on a new TV and have a nice peaceful experience than deal with that chaos
I actually bought Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water early this year. Good anime. Even imported some games adapted from the series. Megadrive and NEC PC-98.
Good video black friday has been like this for the last several years, no longer bargains, items at same prices all year long. It's the greed of these companies just relying on fomo, the stupidity of consumers, and the hype around black friday. Luckily, people are waking up to this. Leave these items on shelves and make these greedy companies sweat.
Crazy fake deals! Great to warn us thanks👍 picked up Gran Turismo 7 PS4 for $25 new. Gamestop $30 plus $5 off for my monthly pro discount. Nice video thanks!👍
I went Black Friday at Macy’s for new suits for church, pretty good deals 😂 I don’t do no more tech stuff cause online is usually cheaper and last year I started to check Prices and they do kept the same price and deals that have nothing to do with Black Friday. Something didn’t make sense to me. But this year confirmed it .
Yeah... I looked around but just bought some food lmao. I still got to get through those games I picked up in October. Figured something like this would happen this year. I think one year I got resident evil 7 for like 15 bucks and that was at best buy. It used to also be a way to get some DVDs for cheap. Plus you know buying a car put a dent in stuff lol
Picked up another copy of Goat Simulator 3 on PS5 for $10 for a Secret Santa gift at work (stupid fun game), Mega Man Battle Network Collection on Switch for $37, Dying Light 2 for PS5 for $20, Moonscars for Switch for $20, Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope for $15. Deals weren’t mind blowing, but some were decent. I was mostly mad seeing some recent pickups getting deep discounted after I already purchased them in the last month or so.
when i see these black friday stampedes i always get a chuckle then bill burr's conan rant about black friday will start playing in my head and i just can't hold my laugh anymore lmao
