14 DAY TRIAL // Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, but many gamers are certainly more interested in Black Friday, the unofficial holiday after Thanksgiving, when retail outlets offer huge discounts and promotions on their most popular items.
But while people are getting ready to assault their nearest stores, Sony and Microsoft are offering their own Black Friday deals, which don't require you to sit in line or compete with other people for the last remaining items.
Both companies are hosting hefty sales on their online services, the Playstation Store and the Xbox Live Marketplace, respectively.
PlayStation 3 and PSP owners can get popular downloadable games like Joe Danger or DeathSpank, not to mention Dissidia Final Fantasy or Dante's Inferno, for a much lower price.
Xbox 360 owners can get full games like the original Halo: Combat Evolved, not to mention downloadable games like Trials HD or Portal: Still Alive, as well as movies thanks to the Zune Movies store.
Check out all of the Black Friday deals on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Marketplace below.
