    There's no way I can leave Steam on for Black Friday. I'll go broke. :D

    But....
    Anyone else excited for Steam Black Friday? :p

    Maybe this can save me. Hehe.

    Damn I already shot my wad buying other games that were 50% off etc, I always forget about black Friday as its a relatively new concept to Canada.

    I never heard about Black Friday but if it's as good as you say it is then I'm sure other stores will also do awesome offers

    I should stay away from the internet for that one day ._.

    I didn't even know Black Friday existed until a few days ago when reading these boards. :p It's got my approval, though ^_^

    $5 for Kane and Lynch is a good start.

    How about a $20 NFS collection ---- please!

    Meh been able to save my money so far. Was really only keeping an eye out for a Dragon Age Ultimate deal and Impulse took care of that for me already. A F.E.A.R. bundle might make me bite, but I hear it doesn't run well on Windows 7 x64.

    Well, considering MW2 has still never gone on sale for the PC, your chances of seeing Black OPs on sale are less than 0%. I don't even think you'll see MW2 go on sale this Xmas. Activision has reached Apple status, they have legions of drones who like paying inflated prices and would hate to punish their developer by buying their items on sale.

    So much Apple hate :p

    I passed on this round of Call of Duty. MW 2 didn't seem enough different from MW 1 when I got it as a Christmas present. Saw a lot of ads for Black Ops and was tempted but then I remembered how little I played MW 2 and decided not to get it.

    My friends got it which was the only drawback but I have a feeling in a couple months something else will have their attention.

    Got Empire Total wall for half price, and Tropico 3 for cheap as well. Happy with that!

    Really hoping Civ V is going to be on Tomorrow!
