FROM APPLETELL - Black Friday’s over, unnamed Saturday and Sunday have past us by, and that leaves us with Cyber Monday. Here’s our ever-evolving round-up of Cyber Monday deals. MORE »

By now we’ve licked our wounds and recovered from the madness that’s known as Black Friday. Even though waiting in long lines in blustery cold weather is over, deals on games are still running strong.

Amazon still has some pretty amazing deals that will last until Monday (December 1, 2008). For example, how would you like to own Far Cry 2 for $17.95 or Infinite Undiscovery for $18.95? Say what you will about some reviews but these games are certainly worth one Andrew Jackson. There are steals like these spread out across all consoles and this list will cover some of the most notable. Most of these games are eligible for free shipping if your total purchase exceeds $25. These bargains won’t be around for much longer so get to it…

In order to get buyers hyped up about Black Friday 2008, Amazon is holding special sales in the video games section leading up to the day. Today (November 19, 2008), the deal offers credits on future Amazon video game purchases when you buy two or three PC, PS3, Wii and/or Xbox 360 games directly from Amazon.

The deal is pretty simple. You select the boxes on the games you want. Once you’ve chosen two or three games, you click the “Add to Cart” button and make your purchase. If you buy two games, you will get a $25 credit on a future Amazon direct game purchase. If you buy three games, you get a $50 credit. You can only take Amazon up on this offer only once, and you can only buy one copy of each game you select.

The 20 titles offered (and their prices) aren’t exactly bargain bin cheap. Some are slightly discounted, but others are still full price. All of the games are recent releases and quality titles, so at least no shovelware is involved. So, the $25 or $50 credit might make it worthwhile for you.

The titles involved in the deal are…

This past week several sites, including Gamertell, reported that Sam’s Club was offering a rather incredible Wii bundle deal for Black Friday (November 28, 2008, aka the day after Thanksgiving). Unfortunately, the price indicated in the scan of the print ad was incorrect.

“The Sam’s Club advertisement included unauthorized changes that reflected inaccurate pricing information.“

A representative from Baker Hostetler indicated to Gamertell’s parent company, Dabbledoo Media, that…
