    We thought it only fair that, since we guided our American readers through some of Black Friday's best game sales, we would guide our readers from the north to video game savings! Canada's biggest shopping day of the season is December 26, referred to as Boxing Day. As stores attempt to fight their way out of the "red," massive discounts are applied to everything from video games to cars. Boxing Day sales have now become Boxing Week Events, and this year is no exception. We've scoured the Boxing Day/Week circulars of Canada's retailers and singled out the video game deals in the guides below. Just click on a retailer to view: Best Buy | Futureshop | EB Games / GameStop | HMV, Zellers & Walmart Head past the break for additional tips!

    The United States has Black Friday, Canada has Boxing Day. The biggest shopping day across Canada happens on December 26, retailers mark down their wares in hopes to reduce inventory on items that have flooded stockrooms throughout the year.
