As we all know, video game prices have really skyrocketed this year. We are seeing prices go as high as $70 for the popular titles. The last time the prices of video games were hiked was back in the 60s.

Naturally, this stirred a lot of discussion amongst the gaming community. Although, a price hike during the current times is understandable. Video game companies have been vocal in stating why the prices have to be this way, and they do make some solid points.
Indeed, the gaming industry is a pretty expensive one. Given the time, investment, and effort that goes into making a video game title, the prices are pretty at par with that, especially during these trying times. However, on the other hand, buyers are also going through economic turmoil.
This is where deals like Black Friday Sales come in. PlayStation knows that this is the time when people will jump up at the idea of grabbing these AAA titles for half their original price. Given the volume of titles that will sell during these offers, it might just top the sales returns of the titles at other times. Well, that is the idea behind it anyway.
Black Friday Deals have been extended on PlayStation, but what titles are we getting?
