Report: GameStop Black Friday sale has 360, PS3, Vita bundles, more
GameStop's Black Friday deals haven't officially hit its website or print ads, but an anonymous employee sent the sales over to Cheap Ass Gamer, and boy are they as juicy as grandma's holiday turkey.
GameStop's lead deal is an Xbox 360 250GB bundle that includes Skyrim, Forza 4 and Black Ops 2 – yes, the new one that we're pretty fond of – for $250. The PS3 250GB bundle runs $200 and includes five free games: Infamous, Infamous 2, Infamous: Festival of Blood, Uncharted, and Uncharted 2. The PS Vita White gets its own deal, bundled with Assassin's Creed: Liberation for $200. These three hardware deals are for Friday, November 23, only.
Also only on sale Friday is a range of games, including Battlefield 3 Premium Edition for $30, Forza Horizon for $40, Ratchet and Clank Collection for $20, Little Big Planet Karting for $30, Mortal Kombat on Vita for $15, and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale for $40 with the purchase of a new PS3.

GameStop also has a hefty software sale for the weekend, including Dishonored for $30, Assassin's Creed 3 for $50, Max Payne 3 for $20, Borderlands 2 for $40, and more, all for PS3 and Xbox 360.
