Gaming Deals on Canada's Boxing Day -- OUR Black Friday

Some crazy insane deals coming for those on the lookout.

Boxing Day in Canada is essentially Canada's version of what happens in the States in November. December 26th, is one of the best shopping days in Canada, provided you dont' get killed in the stampedes at various Wal Marts, Best Buys etc, when they open.

Lots of great gaming deals can be found at RedFlagDeals, which is tracking all of the big Canadian Boxing Day Flyers as they leak out.

In terms of games there is a bounty to be had.

WalMart has announced half price on all of these titles:
Here is the list of games that will be 50% off at Wal-Mart on Boxing Day for Xbox 360:
(if you want to find out the games for other platforms, go to walmart.ca, select the game platform, and sort by price. Anything priced at $18.93 will be only $9.47)
MADDEN NFL 08
Rainbow Six Vegas
EA SPORTS FIGHT NIGHT ROUND 3
MEDAL OF HONOR AIRBORNE
Asterix at the Olympic Games
Saint’s Row
CSI: Hard Evidence
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
THE ORANGE BOX
Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions
Crackdown
NEED FOR SPEED PROSTREET

*There may be additional games at 50% off, since every Wal-Mart has a different selection. Also, all of these games may not be available at your local Wal-Mart. Like I said, go to walmart.ca for more.

Orange Box for 9 dollars Canadian? Yes please.


Now is the time to pick up a console as well if you've been thinking about it. I've seen the 360 advertised for as low as 239.99 (Pro version I believe)

Sony Style has a deal on, pay 50 dollars for a gift card, and they give you a bonus 50 dollar certificate (in addition to the gift card) that can be used Boxing Week only .... great if you have PS3 stuff you need or Blu-ray's. (I took advantage of this deal)

Any other Canadians out there spot any good gaming Boxing Day deals?

    I'm still waiting for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune to go Greatest Hits so I can pick it up cheaper than the $50-55 price tag I keep seeing. With Uncharted 2 being confirmed, it shouldn't be much longer.

    Its funny, i am a game bargain hunting fanatic, but the only thing i want to buy at the moment is Jet Grind Radio, or maybe For Answer.
    I wonder if they will have any Xbox Live deals for the occasion.... that sounds sort of silly though.

    Yeah I was hoping to pick up For Answer as well. I haven't seen any deals on it yet.
