If you snag a copy of GTA V this weekend, you'll get $1.25m to spend in GTA Online, which will give you a nice boost to start.
What do good PC gaming deal look like on Black Friday?
This probably seems like a silly question, but don't forget PC gamers are totally spoiled for choice when it comes to discounts pretty much all year round, so whereas a few bucks off an AAA game might sound good to a console owner, most of us would roll over and go back to sleep for anything less than a full series collection.
The basic rule we have is that if it's a triple-A game that didn't sell well or it's an indie title, you're going to see a better deal in the next Steam sale, or it's going to be in a Humble collection before long. Take a good look at your backlog (like the dozen or more Steam sale games you haven't played yet) and think about whether you feel like a particular Black Friday PC gaming deal makes sense.
Anyway, we'll have more deals as we find them!
