Happy Thanksgiving Eve Eve! I hope everyone is ready for their holiday weekend of family get-to-gethers, glorious eatings, bone-crushing football and some holiday shopping.
While we celebrate this festival of Thanksgiving reflection, we as gamers also have much to be thankful for...we have video games, the internet, instant communication via text messaging or vocal communication, high definition, motion controls, downloadable applications, WiFi, friend codes! (well, maybe we do not have to be thankful for everything!).
From the days of Pong until now, we have seen momentous steps in our genre and the ball just keeps on rolling! So when you pick up a deathmatch on Xbox Live or simply go through a campaign this weekend, just remember where we came from and where we are now. I am truly thankful that video games are here to stay and with Project Natal, PS3 motion controls and the rumored Wii HD on the horizon, there is much more on the horizon.
On another note, for the past few weeks, Black Friday ad scans have been leaked to the public with gravitating responses...mostly leading into a negative blackhole! However, some power-playing by Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon.com have changed the playing field for both the seasoned and amateur buyer and now the consumer may find reason to lose some hours of sleep this Friday morning (or in some cases for the diehards...Thursday night!)
As I had mentioned in a previous post, Bfads.net is one of the top notch websites to gain access to up-to-date Black Friday and surprise retailer deals. In addition to their monetary information, they have also provided a Holiday gaming guide for those seeking a console or handheld system of choice. They have broken down the best bundle deals by store to give the consumer an overview of what they would get and how great of a doorbuster sale it is. I highly recommend this to anyone venturing out on America's busiest shopping day. You can view the information by clicking here.
So to one and all, Happy Thanksgiving and have a safe weekend!

I agree. I really love gaming. I am happy now that the systems can even rival or surpass arcade games. As for black friday. I will be online with a drumstick in Hand. Happy Black Friday.
That is very true - love the HD graphics and motion controls! However, thanks to DDR and of course Pinball machines, I do not see the arcades ever dying out completely.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving and BF!
