A $200 PS4 on Black Friday will be just fine for you. I wouldn’t wait for sales on the others personally. You’re not going to notice the difference since you haven’t lived on these consoles for awhile before now and you’ll have a nice library of awesome games to play on the current box for a lot less money.

Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, Horizon: Zero Dawn… these are beautiful games with or without the Pro.

Fanatical Star Deal today is Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for $17.99 (64%)

Fanatical’s Launch sale is still going on, and there are plenty of hidden deals in the store:

You also get an additional 10% off with code FANATICAL10

Will these run the VR stuff? I doubt I’m in the market but the PS4 seems like a cheaper way to play around with VR.

Yes. They will run the VR games.

P&S Campaigns for only 10 magic beans is an amazing deal.

Was just about to say that!

Syberia free on GOG for a limited time.

Android - Hitman Sniper is free for a little while.

I played more of that than I care to admit. It’s a weird game; not much to the actual gameplay, but there’s something strangely comforting about watching the targets go through the same routine mission after mission.

Bonus, it’s only 9 magic beans with code FANATICAL10 at checkout!
Use the bean you save to grow a beanstalk!

How does Pike and Shot Campaigns compare to something like Field of Glory 2?

Whoever clicked on Omerta, it’s closer to some mobile farmville to an actual game. I may or may not be bitter for paying full price.

They both evolved from the same creature (FoG I) and the tactical combat is pretty much the same. I haven’t played FoG II, but I read that the campaign system used in Pike & Shot and Sengoku Jidai has been re-jiggered for the new release, so I can’t really comment on the strategic layer.

Fanatical’s Star Deal today is Mars War Logs for $2.99 (80%).

Humble Store is having a Games Workshop Publisher Sale. Some decent discounts with the Monthly 10% bonus.

Right now they feature: Wolfenstein II : The New Colossus at $44.99 (25%). 3.5 hours left at that price.

On Steam play Squad for FREE this weekend and purchase for $19.99 (50%).

I wonder of Field of Glory 2 has more variety than Pike and SHot.

I’m pretty sure you can find a list of battles online if that is the type o f variety you are asking about.

I didn’t have anything specific in mind. By variety I just meant different troop types, varied terrain / layouts of battles.

It is close but I find Pike & Shots campaign layer & unit variety a little better than FOG2. Although the FOG2 feature of units arriving late to the battle is better than P&S.

Another thing about FOG2 is that from what I’ve read, they plan a number of add on packs/DLC. They could add Alexanders Conquests, Later Roman Empire, Rise of Islam, Crusades, etc. I’m looking forward to these also.
