Sam’s Club Black Friday 2018 Early Ad Deals — PS4, Xbox One, TVs, And More

Black Friday 2018 is set to officially kick off on November 23 but retailers are getting people primed to spend their hard-earned cash by revealing their ads early. For those looking to drop some dollars on new entertainment hardware, games, or pretty much anything else, this is actually pretty helpful as you can compare prices to find the best deals ahead of time.

Walmart’s Black Friday ad is already available, and you can also get an early peek at Best Buy’s and Target’s too. Now, Sam’s Club has also unveiled its ad a little early, and we’ve gone through to pick out everything that may be of interest to anyone that loves to park themselves in front of a screen to enjoy a movie, game, or TV show.

As noted on the Sam’s Club website, customers will need to return on November 22 for more event pricing, and many of the deals visible in the advert now may not be available until that date too. For someone looking to do a complete overhaul of their setup–and has a lot of cash to work with–the retailer is offering a 75″ Samsung 4K TV along with an Xbox One S (1TB) for $2,280.

In terms of console specific deals, you can get the PlayStation 4 1TB with Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man for $199. It’s worth keeping in mind that this is the slim version of the PS4, and not the more powerful PlayStation 4 Pro. If you’re in the market for an Xbox One, the S model is available as part of the Minecraft Creators bundle for $199. Again, if you want the most powerful Xbox One on the market, you’ll need to seek out deals on the Xbox One X instead.

NBA 2K19 Black Friday 2018 PS4 And Xbox One Deals

Black Friday 2018 is going to be the ideal opportunity to grab yourself some video games that you can play with family and friends throughout the holiday season. Sports games are always a great way to pass some time, settle existing feuds, or start new ones, and if you’re a fan of basketball, NBA 2K19 is probably something you’ll want to consider grabbing.

It seems that most retailers have reached the same discount price for NBA 2K19, with the game available for $30 at Best Buy, Target, and Walmart across both their PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. You can find links to them below.

In GameSpot’s NBA 2K19 review, Michael Higham said the “core NBA 2K mechanics are challenging and rewarding” and that it offers a variety of game modes to enjoy. “If you want to immerse yourself in the sport and culture, NBA 2K19 has you covered with a breadth of content,” he continued. “But even that has its limitations after several years of iterations. Although those willing to grind for everything will eventually get rewarded, the system of VC still comes off as exploitative. But there’s a lot of fun to be had in NBA 2K19 despite its flaws, especially if you have a strong love for the sport.

“NBA 2K19 dishes out what you’d expect from the franchise: accessible yet deep core mechanics that often work just right and occasionally falter. Beyond that, there’s a full roster of ways to enjoy the sport thanks to a robust package of game modes.”

PUBG Announced For PS4, Release Date Confirmed

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is finally coming to PS4. Sony announced the news today in a new trailer, which you can watch above. The video reveals a release date of December 7.

PUBG will launch on PS4 with all three maps: Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok. Developer PUBG Corp. states the PlayStation version will contain “all major features, ranked system, event mode, achievements and much more.”

Pre-orders are live now, with bundles ranging from $30 / £25 / AU $40 to $60 / £50 / AU $85, depending on how many in-game coins you want and whether you desire a Survivor Pass. All those who do buy the game in advance of launch will receive two platform-exclusive items: a Nathan Drake outfit from Uncharted and Ellie’s backpack from The Last of Us. PUBG Corp. also states the game is “enhanced for PS4 Pro systems, including support for HDR lighting on compatible TV sets.”

PUBG first came to PC in March 2017 as part of Steam’s early access program. It later came to Xbox One as an Xbox Game Preview title, and launched fully on those platforms in December 2017 and September 2018, respectively. Microsoft announced recently that PUBG would be among 15 games coming to Xbox Game Pass in November.

A PS4 version has been heavily rumored for some time, and a PlayStation port was listed by the South Korean ratings board in September. Before that, developer PUBG Corp. had stated it wanted its hit battle royale game to come to “every platform.”

The Xbox One version was successful at launch, selling more than 1 million units in the first 48 hours despite still being in beta at that point. Since that time, PUBG Corp. has supported the shooter with a multitude of updates, including new maps, weapons, and modes.

PUBG Officially Announced for PlayStation 4

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has officially been announced for PlayStation 4 and will be released on December 7, 2018.

Announced on the PlayStation Blog, PUBG will include all major features “like custom matches, ranked system, event mode, trophies” and will launch with three maps – Erangel, Miramar, and Sanhok – with the “highly anticipated snow-themed map” arriving this winter.

PUBG will be available in four different editions, which are as follows:

Disc Edition:
$30 USD (MSRP) / $38.99 CAD (MSRP)

The Weirdest WWE Survivor Series PPV Teamups

The first five Survivor Series PPVs hewed close to the stated theme: 5-on-5 or 4-on-4 Elimination matches, which would often be 20 minutes or more in length. But the sixth Survivor Series PPV, in 1992, had a single Survivor Series match; the rest were single or tag matches, like any other PPV. WWE even planned to change the name of the PPV in 2010; they only kept it due to fan outcry.

The fact is, it’s difficult to make these types of matches narratively coherent; there are just too many wrestlers involved for each of them to have a personal stake in the outcome. That’s why last year and this year’s Survivor Series, which book everything as a Raw vs. Smackdown contest, work so well. There doesn’t need to be personal issues at play, just straightforward “brand supremacy” contest. The fans get dream matches (like the upcoming rematch between AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar), and they don’t disrupt the single-brand storylines for an entire month..

When Survivor Series is booked haphazardly, you get weird teams like the ones in this gallery. Why are they friends? Why should we care? Don’t worry about any of that, and don’t overthink it. Here are eight of the weirdest WWE Survivor Series team-ups of all time.

Rainbow Six Siege’s New Operators Leaked Ahead Of Wind Bastion Reveal

Rainbow Six Siege’s new season, Wind Bastion, is scheduled to be revealed soon, but the update’s new Operators appear to have leaked ahead of schedule. Videos uploaded to the game’s subreddit depict characters named Nomad and Kaid, teasing a full reveal for the Pro League Finals on November 18.

Kaid, a Defender, seemingly carries an electrified device to prevent attackers breaching hatches. The Attacker Nomad, meanwhile, appears to have some form of wind push ability. Both Operators come from Morocco’s GIGR (Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie Royale).

Wind Bastion also contains a new map for all players named Fortress, a military facility in the Atlas Mountains. According to Ubisoft, the “map will be comprised of two distinguishable sections offering a variety of open space, points of cover, and lines of sight for both close and long range engagements.” Fortress is also “the first ever map to be heavily associated with an Operator.” Ubisoft has not announced whether that Operator is one of the two new ones, or a member of Siege‘s existing roster.

One of the major changes coming to Siege at the start of Season 4 will be censorship of certain in-game environments and icons. Ubisoft is removing references to specific mature content, like gambling and sex, in Siege ahead of its release in Asian territories that have heavier content restrictions.

Siege’s last major patch, Update Y3S3.2, addressed many of the bugs that previously existed in the game. The update also added balancing changes to both Clash and Maestro, two Operators that Ubisoft felt were underused. Two firearms, the SMG-11 and Vector, were also patched to reduce recoil and improve the weapons’ handling.

Release Date and New Suits Announced for Spider-Man’s Second DLC, Turf Wars

A release date and new information for Marvel’s Spider-Man’s second DLC, Turf Wars, has been revealed.

Announced on the PlayStation Blog, Turf Wars will be released on November 20, 2018, and the main antagonist is the organized crime boss Hammerhead, as was hinted in the first DLC The Heist.

Hammerhead first appeared in Spider-Man comics in 1970 and it “known for his obsession with the mob’s glory years and a cranium surgically enhanced into a deadly weapon.”

He has declared war against the other “Dons of the Maggia” and will be utilizing equipment that was left behind by Sable International.

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Premiere Month Confirmed In New Teaser

It has been confirmed that the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones will premiere in April 2019. This brings the series back in line with the premieres of season 4, 5, and 6, following Season 7’s July 2017 debut.

The news was revealed in a new teaser tweeted by HBO. The video doesn’t contain any footage from the new season, and we don’t yet have the exact date that it will premiere. But it’s an exciting reminder of all the main characters and promises that the new season will be a spectacular one. Check it out above.

This teaser follows the lengthy cover feature which Entertainment Week published earlier this month, that contained plenty of tidbits about the final season. While HBO has been extremely protective of spoilers and secrets, showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff did give a few hints about what we can expect. They revealed that the opening of Season 8 will mirror that of Season 1, with Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) riding to Winterfell with her armies in preparation for the arrival of the Army of the Dead. This is a deliberate call all the way back to the first episode in 2011.

In addition, Jon Snow actor Kit Harington spoke about the full table read of Season 8’s scripts. He stated that Benioff and Weiss started the session by asking the cast members to avoid doing anything that might give away any of the new season’s secrets, no matter how small. Harington then revealed that the scripts made him cry twice.

EW have also revealed that at one stage Benioff and Weiss were considering finishing the show with three theatrical movies rather than six episodes. Season 8 will contain the biggest battle of the show’s history, and the pair were concerned that HBO’s budget might not allow them to do what they wanted.

In related news, production is set to begin the prequel spin-off show next year. Game of Thrones creator George RR Martin stated on his blog that the series, which is co-written with Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, Kingsmen) will be titled The Long Night. However, he subsequently denied that this was the title, writing that “HBO has informed me that the Jane Goldman pilot is not (yet) titled THE LONG NIGHT. That is certainly the title I prefer, but for the moment the pilot is still officially UNTITLED. So… mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa.”
