That Best Buy deal for the Xbox One is hard to pass up... I'm thinking the Gears Remastered bundle, which free game would you suggest? Keep in mind I have a PS4.

I went Rise of TR bundle + Halo 5 myself. (With 2 PS4 controllers as well to bump my total into 18 month financing range so I can slack on paying if I want)

[Gift Card will probably go towards PSN/XBL cash cards as well - thinking Ori on XBL side for sure, beyond that I'm unsure]

Keep in mind the best buy deal lets you pickup ANY $60 game for free, it doesn't have to be xbone. You can get Assassins Syndicate for PS4 or Black Ops 3 for PS4 or whatever. Unfortunately it won't work against preorders unless the store manager is nice, although if you keep your receipt and don't open your free game you may be able to go in next week and exchange it when Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 release.

today's best buy deal is probably the best of the year - $379 gets you a $349 xbone bundle (family or GOW bundle), a $50 best buy GC, an extra locke controller (worth $70), and any $60 game you want. while there are a few $299 deals on black friday, today's best buy deal gets you an xbone for essentially $199, not going to beat that. Its ONLY good from 1pm - 5pm at best buy however. Good xbone exclusive games to get are Halo 5, Tomb Raider, or Forza 6. Or sports games if you are into those are good too.

the microsoft store is also running a good deal, get an xbox one and unity + 2 free games (any) for $349. not sure if online only or in store too

Eh, I think you're overthinking it if it's feeling complicated. Buy system, pick a game is all that you'd have to worry about today. (Just a matter of which bundle is ideal for you gamewise)

Just look at the giftcard as a second free game in the future. [Since it almost is - $10 more + tax if it's brand new]

Canadian Best Buy has 20% preorders when you get two or more today Nov 7th only. Have you got your fallout yet? Also 35% clearance games, alien isolation is $15!

I would advise that if you need to finance a console to buy it, don't.
Assuming normal interest based financing I'd agree (like his credit mention above) - no harm in slacking if you want to delay things when you're doing Best Buy style though. [I'll probably pay it off by March, maybe even this month depending how much Black Friday hurts]

I want a PS4 for Uncharted and The Last of Us, plus FIFA/NBA. Yet these Xbox deals are so much better.
