Belgium and nope it's not a thing over here, at least not yet. The only Black Friday related thing I've seen so far over here is a Black Friday ad for the French Amazon (cause we don't even have our own Amazon) and when I check video games I don't see anything that would drive me mad about good deals like you see in the US.

I am Belgian and it's basically everywhere where I live:

http://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/shop/blackfriday.html

A few of the shops who has it aswell:  https://www.blackfridayexpert.be/black-friday-winkels/

Basically I can't walk in Antwerp without seeing a shop that mentions black friday.

Anyway:



Black Friday popular in Belgium

Black Friday, sales after Thanksgiving Day in the US, has also arrived in Europe.
Last year MasterCard noticed an increase by 46 % in the number of transactions in Belgium compared to the previous year. Tomorrow Black Friday will take place again. According to MasterCard's analysis, consumers spent 23% more on last year’s Black Friday than on a regular Friday.

"The month of November has long been seen as a slack period for business, since it precedes Christmas shopping," said Alexandra Balikdjian, consumer psychologist at the ULB. “Black Friday represents an opportunity for consumers and for merchants to buy and sell.”

Still it is far from surpassing Christmas which generates 26% more transactions.

It is especially online business that benefits from this day of sales. "In Belgium, online shopping volumes increased by 107% on Black Friday in 2016 compared to 2015.

For Henri Dewaerheijd, country manager Belux MasterCard, "buying online has revolutionized the way consumers buy". 

"It allows on the one hand meeting spontaneous desires in terms of purchases and on the other hand to offer a wide choice of products at bargain prices. For traders, the online actions of Black Friday offer the possibility to reduce the workload in the store and help to better analyze the purchasing behavior of their consumers."

 

Yeah man, would have been really strange if you guys wouldn't have jumped on the bandwagon. Great, so enjoy if you're able to....and don't forget to "thank" the consumer lord lol.

Most likely nothing. Maybe Horizon ZD if I find a good deal

https://www.gamestop.it/SearchResult/QuickSearch?q=Horizon+Zero+Dawn

I would get it. Horzion Zero Dawn is a pretty awesome game. I'm gonna go back to it when I'm close to completing Zelda.

Materialism is the best part of the holidays.

lol..couldnt resist :p

 

Just bought LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for $5 on Amazon.

 

Also Amazon had Uncharted 4 for $15 (which is $5 cheaper than retail stores) plus I got the chance to start a 30 day trial for Amazon Prime so the shipping cost was waived.

 

Once I get the game in two days or so, I'll go cancel the trial to avoid the Amazon prime charge next month.

 

So my tally now is.....

 

Steam/PC
-Alpha Protocol ($3 from Amazon)
-Doom Classic Complete ($3.19 from GreenManGaming)
-Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition ($8.50 from GreenManGaming)
-LEGO Batman ($4.99 from Amazon)
-LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes ($4.99 from Amazon)
-LEGO Marvel Super Heroes ($4.99 from Amazon)
-Mega Man Legacy Collection ($5.10 from GreenManGaming)
-Mighty No. 9 ($4 from Amazon)
-Mighty No. 9 A Retro Hero ($1.20 from Amazon)
-Mighty No. 9 Ray Expansion ($1.70 from Amazon)
-Painkiller Hell & Damnation Collector's Edition ($7.49 from Amazon)
-Phantom Brave PC Digital Chroma Edition ($8.53 from Amazon)
-Prince of Persia The Two Thrones ($4.99 from Steam Store)
-Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 ($10.62 from GreenManGaming)
-Umihara Kiwase Trilogy ($8.99 from Amazon)

Steam Total: $82.29

-Pokemon Ultra Sun ($30 from Best Buy)

3DS Total: $30


PS4
-Uncharted 4 A Thief's End ($15 from Amazon)

Total: $142.29


----

Guess the last thing I'll be buying today will be Yakuza Kiwami Steelbook Edition for $20 at either Frys or Best Buy. 

 

 

EDDIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT

 

Nvm - I take that back. Yakuza Kiwami Steelbook Edition is also $15 on Amazon with free shipping, YOINK!

 

I guess I'm done with my Black Friday shopping xD.

(Made changes above)

You're gonna have a busy Christmas.



 

 



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I got a PS 4 pro today at game stop for 349 ..the 199 PS 4 were selling like hot cakes



Damn, Best Buy ran out of Disaega 5, but eh it'll be on sale again at some point. Did get FE Echos though! Also, I got there 2 hours after it opened and there were still Switches being sold. Either Nintendo actually sent in a motherload of supply, or demand isn't as high as I thought it'd be.
