Me, I'm waiting to see if any deals will happen with Nvidia GTX 1080 or at least a GTX 1070Ti during Black Friday or Cyber Monday. TV's? Not really interested buying 4KTV or HDR so therefore, no shopping TV for me this year. Not sure what else I'll buy but in any case, I'll just post some sale stuff if anyone finds these interesting: (I admit, that 4KTV sale looks temping)

I'm building a new PC come cyber Monday. The only thing that sucks is not knowing what's going to be on sell before hand, so I'll be spending a few hours figuring out the best build to take advantage of the discounts.

@davillain-: Don't you own a 1070?, what's the point in upgrading to a 1070 ti or 1080? either go all in and get a 1080 ti or wait for volta.

Will pick up Okami HD but nothing else planned.

My big purchase will be next year want a hdmi 2.1 tv possibly a oled, a Volta Titan (not waiting a year for a ti), and some jrpg Monster Hunter Worlds, Ni no Kuni 2, and maybe Final Fantasy 15 pc.

I hardly don't pay any GPU above $500 and plus, I only have 1440p/60fps monitor and by having a 1080Ti is way overkill unless I have 144Hz monitor, then yeah, I would probably buy 1080Ti. I still love my 1070 but if I see any deals on GPU 1080 or 1070Ti, it's better to hit the button then to pay regular price.

I'm not interest in Volta and from what I heard, it's not aiming for pure gaming, just workstation.

Probably just removing Tensor Cores, hbm2/controller, fp64 and other tweaks. As long as the flagship geforce has 5120 cuda cores (full chip has 5376), 12nm die shrink, has 12 gb of gdr6, decent overclocker, and hdmi 2.1 output I'll be happy.

Just a single rumer mentions Ampere really hope it's not going to be lackluster refresh do to lack of competition from amd

Nothing ... I would buy a Switch if I could get one for around $100 but since that won't happen I'll be buying nothing.

A PS Plus Subscription and Kingdom Heats 1.5 & 2.5 PS4.

I just started working a new job, so I won't have much money for anything else. But I'll be doing overtime to save money. For potentially building a PC early next year. All depending on my job situation as my current retail job is only guaranteed to be seasonal. Also have my eyes on potentially buying a Chromebook for the right price and features next month.

I hope you're not serious, that's a horrible price.

PSVR + Camera + Skyrim + VR Worlds can be had for $359 AUD, which is roughly $300 USD, so you would be paying more.

Would you recommend Cyber Monday as being better for gaming deals? The UK has pretty decent Black Friday sales across online retailers, but wondering whether to hold off the Friday sales until the Monday. What are people's experiences?

I am holding out hope for a SNES classic. However if I don't get one in a few weeks than I'll just preorder a classiq 2 and get a SNES flash cart. That's about it for me.

Like I said, those are AUD prices, I can link you if you want, but it would be an Australian website with Australian prices, I just converted them to USD.

You cant buy the headset by itself anymore here, its either that bundle, or the GT: Sport bundle or some other bundle.

Do you still want a link?

@GTR12: It's all good. I'm surprised it'd be cheaper there though. Everything else seems to cost more there than here.

@joshrmeyer: Yeah, don't ask me why, its mostly been that way for tech and games for the last few years.

Other categories like food/clothing/property etc are cheaper there.

Anyone know which places usually try to trick you with these sales? Last year it was quite obvious here that the prices had been raised before Black Friday to give impression of excellent sales on that day.

Look for small stores and with not much revenue the last few months,, they thrive on these sales and look to offload excess stock.

That's almost what I am thinking too. Even big stores which earns loads of money do it here. Luckily we have places that keep price history so it is easy to check up.

Best Buy has a XBO for less than $200. Might get that.
