Zelda 3DS XL for 150, note the Target crowd is much more sane than the Walmart crowd.
A 1TB portable harddrive.
2 8gig vita memory cards, 10 at game stop, should have bought 3 in hind sight,
Soul Sacrifice
Tales of the Abyss for 3DS
Sly 4 Thieves in Time
Asura's Wrath
and Mass Effect 3

On the Mass Effect 3, It was used but I got the metal case and it had the inserts, so if I'm lucky they guy did not use them. Hmm... ah well if they do its a bonus.

I got the Brae New World expansion for Civ V off of Steam for $15.

Yeah I don't really do shopping when people are acting sane, Black Friday can go fuck itself with all the crazies.

I feel bad for whoever had to work at a retail store that day.

$7.50 for Skyrim, but that was a Steam sale. My bargain bin TES tradition continues. I'm actually enjoying this one, though... that's a first.

Half ounce and a fifteen minute special. There was no discount on either.
No idea, not even a small idea, what a fifteen minute special is. Doing some web research. Sorry you didn't get a deal on either.
...weed and a hooker, I'd say. Never any discount on those.

After all, it's not like they need to pull in more buyers.

The complete series of Firefly and Serenity for 10 bucks total. And the last 3 seasons of burn notice for about 50 total.
watched Firefly and Serenity a dozen times on Netflix streaming. I loved the bad guy in Serenity and will likley see "12 years a slave" just because of him. I started Burn Notice. It isn't bad. I figure I'll get back to it.
Yea Burn Notice is a great show. Once you hit the second and third seasons it really starts to pick up.

Me too! Any particular games you want for it?

My Dad bought Assassin's Creed IV for the Xbox One, meaning that by extension I get to play it, too. Does that count?
Indeed it does! Is the Xbox One waiting for Christmas or do you get to use it now?

For PS3? Mine bogs down. Hopefully just a scene. Got to play it some more.

Butt load of mods out there that are a blast. I didn't really like the game till I started messing with them. They are amazing. Everything from trainers to make your character powerful and rich to things that, for instance, turn the moon into the Death Star or your horse into an Oldsmobile.

Uh huh. That explains why I couldn't find anything on the net about it. Thanks for the clue.

What did I get on Black Friday?

I obtained the knowledge that when sales come into play, people become rabid freaking animals, and that I'm never accompanying my friend to a Black Friday sale ever again.

Oh, and I bought Skyrim on Steam. Can't run it on my rig, but hey. It's cheap, and I can download it and play it once I upgrade my computer.

About 800 bucks renting out an electric blanket to the crazy people waiting to get into the stores. 20degree weather helped. A desktop I guess?

Cool, I'll have to do that. Watching something Marter (guy that does movie reviews in the user review section) recommended. Called "Dare" on Netflix streaming. Some called it the top 10 the year it came out. As a dad, it is kinda freaking me out but it is interesting and well made.

Good one to upgrade your computer for. Once you add the high texture mods, it is amazing to look at.

Happy to help on the clue there.

As for mods... old hat for me, my friend. Just got the game yesterday and I'm rockin' 2 combat overhauls, 4 equipment packs, 2 realism mods, 3 mods to make NPCs act more like people, 6 performance fixes, 6 UI mods, 6 bugfix patches, and 8 graphical tweaks... which is nowhere near as many as I've got on Fallout 3 or New Vegas.

No vanilla playthrough for me this time... though I probably should have waited on Frostfall and Realistic Needs and Diseases... damn near died of hypothermia getting through the prologue. Gotta say, as hardcore survival mods go, Frostfall is reminiscent of radioactive rain and dust storms in Nevada skies for New Vegas. It can really force you indoors quickly.

I plan on buying red dead for 7.50 on Xbox. I did go to Walmart for black Thursday to get some shoes. Never again. I heard their was an actual fight, didn't see it as I was hiding out in subway.

Ah! I thought Persona a PS2 series which I've heard is very good. I'll have to look into those. Thanks!

Wow. You're making me want to play this all over again. No room on my hard drive at the moment, but realistic NPCs? That would be really cool. 8 graphical tweaks? You've gone farther with it in 2 days than I did in a year.

I have an Xbox One now, I'll take the chance to play it soon enough when I'm not being distracted by other games I need to plough through real quick. Though Dead Rising 3 hasn't lost appeal to me when I'm about to fail Nightmare mode.

I got to go to the gym and I ended up talking to a cute girl. I spent a total of 0 that day... yeah, not too eventful, but I didn't really find anything I needed or wanted to buy someone for Christmas (I went online, not to any stores).

Oh, I also got some free food from my grandparents which is enough to keep me stocked up for the rest of the year. I am quite happy with how things turned out.

While I didn't purchase anything new, the stuff I had ordered did arrive on Black Friday, as in yesterday.

The games I got were as follows:
Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga for the GameBoy Advanced
Crash Bandicoot Huge Adventure for the GameBoy Advanced
Crash Bandicoot 2: N. Tranced for the GameBoy Advanced
Pandora's Tower for the Nintendo Wii

I'm still waiting to receive my capture board for my original Nintendo DS so then I can record DS and GameBoy Advanced games since those are 2 of the only systems I can't record as of right now.
I still need a 3DS capture board, but sadly they are sold out. I'm planning on getting 2 of those as I plan on getting a Japanese 3DS since Nintendo decided to stupidly region lock the 3DS, so now I need 2 capture boards. >.>

I bought a Tassimo for 40 bucks.
I bought The Lies of locke Lamora for 12 bucks (no discount).
I bought Apples to Apples for 21 bucks.

I honestly didn't actually realize it was Black Friday until I got to the mall and it was packed. I was just doing some Christmas shopping (the book is for myself).

I couldn't exactly wait for Cyber Monday, so I had to get myself a new GPU, since my old 560 Ti died on me. No problem, I thought, so I got a GTX 760. Now to play the waiting game as Newegg delivers the card.

Windows 8.1 was my gift on Black Friday. That should say something about what I prefer. =P

Other than that, I say pillows. Wait, that doesn't count. We also got a few lamps here and here to put in our house. It gets pretty dark during the evening here where I live.
