Black Friday 2012: These are your Black Friday video game bundles

We’ve been throwing a lot of information at you this shopping season. Of course, it’s the same way anytime Black Friday rolls around. Tons of ads come out, those of us at GamerTell writes up stories about the ads as they’re leaked so you know what’s available and then you go off and do your shopping. But, what if you’re looking for a console and just want to know what’s available? You’re not going to go out and fight the crowds to shop. You’re just going to visit your favorite online retailer and go from there.

Well, that’s where today’s story comes in handy. This is a list of all of the Black Friday video game bundles that will be available come November 22 and 23, 2012. You can see which look most appealing, mark them down on your list and then decide if one should be bought later this week. If one of the systems below is available at a much better price in an ad or will be online for that price, I’ve made a notation.

Black Friday console bundles

• PS3 bundle with a 250GB PS3, the inFamous Collection, the Uncharted Dual Pack and one month of PlayStation Plus – $199.99. Meijer’s ad says it will be selling it as a doorbuster for that price in-stores and online. Amazon will have it as a lightning deal on November 22, 2012.
• Wii Just Dance 4 bundle with a white Wii and Just Dance 4 – $129.99
• Wii Skylanders Giants bundle with a blue Wii and Skylanders Giants Starter Pack – $149.99
• Xbox 360 bundle with a 250GB Xbox 360, Forza Motorsport 4, a downloadable copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and one month of Xbox Live Gold – $249.99
• Xbox 360 Kinect bundle with a 4GB Xbox 360, Kinect, Kinect Adventures and Kinect Disneyland Adventures and one month of Xbox Live Gold – $199.99. Amazon will have it as a lightning deal on November 22, 2012.

Sorry Wii U shoppers, as there aren’t any special Wii U holiday bundles available this year. Maybe next year Nintendo will release one!

Black Friday handheld bundles

• 3DS Flame Red bundle with a red 3DS and Super Mario 3D Land pre-installed on the system for $169.99. It will be a $149.99 doorbuster at Target.
• Vita Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation bundle with white WiFi-model Vita, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and a 4GB memory card for $199.99
• Vita Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified bundle with black WiFi-model Vita, Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified and a 4GB memory card for $199.99
• Vita Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes bundle with black WiFi-model Vita, Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and a 4GB memory card for $199.99

Do whoever you’re shopping for a favor and don’t grab the Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified bundle. That game’s supposed to be terrible. Grab the only 3DS bundle or the Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation Vita bundle instead.

There you go! You know know everything about the nine Black Friday video game bundles. Now go relax and thing about something that doesn’t involve shopping.
