If you're going to hit up the strip mall at 5AM, it better not be for one of these awful deals.
Black Friday's here, meaning it's time to head out to your favorite retails stores after gorging yourself on turkey and congealed cranberry-flavored gelatin out of a can. While we here at GamePro certainly aren't discouraging any of you from taking advantage of the awesome gaming deals out there (just check out GamePro's Black Friday Gaming Guide) we do want to warn you about certain "deals" you may want to skip. Without further ado, here are GamePro's 6 Suckiest Black Friday Deals.
6- PSP UMD Movies
Store: GameStop
Price: $3.99
Four bucks is already steep for this dead format when you consider that you can just port movie files to your PSP anyway. But let's take a closer look at the ad. Zathura, Robots, and Fantastic Four are the only movies shown from the "dozens" that will be available for this price on Black Friday. Which means the other movies are likely even more atrocious... and it doesn't get much worse than Fantastic Four. Why not just spend an extra $5 to $6 and get a DVD movie that you actually want?
5- World of Warcraft
Store: Circuit City
Price: $9.99
Only ten bucks for the world's most popular PC game? Only $15 a month to keep playing it after the first thirty days? Only $60 to catch up to the rest of the expansion-packing players? Yeah, it's not quite a steal when you really think about it. Especially when you can get the first hit for free anyway.
4- Bonfit America Wireless Controller
Store: Toys 'R Us
Price: $19.99
As much as we love the world-renowned products coming from Bonfit America, we're going to pass. You see, we're fans of having our systems get bricked under funnier circumstances, like sticking a peanut-butter sandwich in the disc slot or accidentally pissing into the cooling fan after a night of hard drinking. Having your system short out because you used a terrible third-party accessory is just too cliche.
3- Napoleon Dynamite
Store: Circuit City
Price: $4.99
It's hard to imagine who exactly Napoleon Dynamite for the DS appeals to. Cheap parents who pick games at random to give to their children? People who loved the movie? Don't let this abysmal DS game's price tag fool you. In the end, cheap crap is still crap.
2- Friends: The One With All The Trivia
Store: Target
Price: $7.00
We know the show stopped airing new episodes over four years ago. We also know it stopped being culturally relevant years before that. Additionally, we know that the series stopped being funny the second it started filming. One final thing we know is that seven bucks and a trip to Target can make you a life-long enemy come Christmas Day.
1- V Rocker Euro Sound Gaming Chair
Store: Wal-Mart
Price: $30.00
Oh Jesus. Where to start with this one? "V Rocker Euro Sound Gaming Chair" sounds like someone just threw a bunch of words together in a failed attempt to sound cool. They should have called this the "Never Going to Get Laid in My Pleather Rocking Chair for Turbo Chodes."

Black Friday is ok, but only if you go to the right places. Last year bestbuy has some sweet deals on SD cards.
