      After buying the Master Chief Collection, I had $37 left thanks to all those deals I got on MS points back in the day. I picked up Diablo III Reaper of Souls Edition for $35.

      All of the Xbox Black Friday deals, including console bundles and stuff from the Microsoft Store.

      Most of the deals last THROUGH Monday, December 1st. So you have all weekend to decide if you want to bite on the deals or not.

      Anyone interested in PC games, Steam has had some great deals for Black Friday, some of the deals are up to 75% off until Dec 2. I was able to pick up Anno 2070 complete edition for $12, normally $50.

      I would get it on PC, but right now I don't have a dedicated gaming PC. All I have is a 5+ year old laptop with a hard drive that is slowly going bad and a video card that seems to be doing so as well. There is no way this thing would be able to handle Diablo III. I just barely meet the recommended specifications for processor and my far outdated video card wouldn't stand a chance. Until I eventually get around to trying to build my own gaming rig, I'm going to have to settle for console versions of games. That was why I was asking, I honestly have no clue how Diablo III runs on both consoles, if it runs better on Xbox One or PS4.

      I'm also a bit hesitant to get it on PS4 just because I'm not sure regarding the PS4 controller. I'd be tempted to go with Xbox One just because I'm so used to the Xbox One controller for things like shooters and action games. I'm still trying to get used to handling the PS4 controller when it comes to action or shooter games.

      I still have another 24 hours to decide. While I could have gotten it for $30 during the lightning deal on Black Friday, I can still get it on either Xbox Live or PSN for $35 through the end of Monday. Just deciding on whether or not to pull the trigger, and on which system.

      Edit - Watching a comparison video right now, with all the button mashing that is going to be necessary, I don't know, I may be leaning towards Xbox One just due to familiarity with the controller for button mashing games.

      Got a few things on Black Friday. Nothing really came down for Cyber Monday that got my attention. Got the Metro Redux for PS4, Diablo III for XB1 (since I had enough $ in the MS account to pay for it). Got New Super Mario Bros 2 for 3DS for $15. Got the Armed Forces edition XB1 controller for $40 since I only had one XB1 controller.

      Yeah NOTHING caught my eye this year. If I didn't already have a set of A40s I probably would have hopped on the $50 off A50s Amazon put up on Black Friday but that was about it. The deals were not that good this year and there just are not that many games I don't already own that I want.
