Black Friday 2015 is almost here, and that, of course, means big savings for us gamers. There are quite a number of Xbox One deals available — and I’ll get to those another day — but the PS4 Black Friday deals and sales are out of control this year. Seriously, there are some great deals out there if you’re looking for some of the year’s best games, or if you’re looking to finally pick up the next generation console.

1. The Witcher 3, Splatoon, Bloodborne, Batman: Arkham Knight $25
PS4 gamers really lucked out when it comes to the number of great games that released in 2015, and Black Friday at Wal-mart will be the best time to buy some of 2015’s best PS4 games. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (a serious contender for the coveted Game of the Year), Batman: Arkham Knight (Batman’s best game yet, as long as you aren’t a PC gamer), and Bloodborne (another game of the year contender, which is actually alrady available for $26.99 on Amazon right now) are all going to be on sale for $25 each. There are plenty of other games that will fall into the $25 category, such as The Elder Scrolls Online, Splatoon (Wii U), Mad Max (a sleeper hit of 2015), and Grand Theft Auto V. It’s a first come, first serve basis, so you might have to wait in a queue line to get some great games (although, in year’s past, Walmart has usually just dropped a pallet of games in the middle of the floor for shoppers to dig through.
