GameStop's Black Friday Deals Look Solid, Slightly Used


Recommended Posts

Video game retailer GameStop is planning some solid, if not spectacular deals for this year's Black Friday shopping extravaganza, deals which appear to have made their way online. While the cuts may not be as deep as the ones that, say, Walmart for example, has planned, a few of them might make it worth getting to your local GameStop before 11 AM. (For our international friends who may be unfamiliar with the Black Friday phenomenon, it's the unofficial day of pre-Christmas, post-Thanksgiving consumption that often brings out the best deals and the worst behavior in U.S. shoppers.)

Some highlights from the sale, via Black Friday Ads and backed up by tipster G., include:

  • Xbox 360 Elite w/ Lego Batman, Pure, & Choice of Call of Duty 4 OR Spider-Man: Web of Shadows - $299
  • PlayStation 3 120GB w/ LittleBigPlanet GOTY & God of War Collection - $299
  • Call of Duty: World at War (360/PS3) - $39.99
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum (360/PS3) - $39.99
  • Forza Motorsport 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Halo 3 ODST - $39.99 each
  • Wii Sports Resort w/ Extra Wii MotionPlus - $49.99
  • Metallic Blue Nintendo DSi w/ Mario vs. DK: Mini's March Again, WarioWare Snapped, Dr. Mario Express, Mario Clock, Mario Calculator - $169.99
  • White Nintendo DSi w/ Clubhouse Games Express Card Classics, Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Sudoku, Brain Age Express: Math, Photo Clock - $169.99

I like how they separated the GoW collection into two boxes for the pic lol

The 360 bundle is pretty weak considering the one I just bought the other week. The PS3 one isn't much better but at least it has a new release included.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
