We’re now just a few weeks away from the biggest shopping event of the year, but while other retailers are already releasing Black Friday ads, GameStop isn’t ready to show its hand. Instead, the games retailer is launching its last Pro Day sale of 2019, an event exclusive to PowerUp Rewards Elite Pro and Pro members in the US. The sale will kick off this Friday, November 8, and run through Sunday, November 10, with hundreds of discounts on games, consoles, and accessories.

The latest Pro Day sale has some decent deals, but know that you’ll find better prices on some of these products during Black Friday in just a few weeks. If there’s anything you’ve got your eye on, we suggest comparing its Pro Day price against the Black Friday prices seen at Target, Best Buy, and other stores that have already released ads. For example, you’ll find Borderlands 3 for $35, Control for $25, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for $15, Resident Evil 2 for $15, and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (Master Edition) for $35 during Black Friday, cheaper than what GameStop is offering during its Pro Day sale.

Then again, some of these Pro Day game deals might be worth taking advantage of now. The Division 2 is only $15, the lowest price we’ve seen. Mortal Kombat 11 is on sale for $30, Persona 5 is $15, MLB The Show 19 is $20, Tetris Effect is $10, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is $25 (the same price it will be at Best Buy during Black Friday). If there’s a game on your wishlist and you spot it for cheap during GameStop’s Pro Day sale, it could still be worth grabbing–after all, the best deals will sell out fast on Black Friday (or even on Thanksgiving).

GameStop is also offering a console bundle for this Pro Day sale. If you buy a new Xbox One, you’ll get a free copy of either Resident Evil 2, Monster Hunter World, or Devil May Cry 5 in addition to 50,000 bonus points ($50 rewards cash) for your GameStop account. If you buy a new PS4, you’ll get a free copy of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and the same 50,000 bonus points offer. If you need to buy a new PS4 or Xbox One, however, you might want to hold off until Black Friday, which already has some nice PS4 and Xbox One bundles lined up for cheaper.

The Pro Day sale also includes a buy one, get one free offer on all T-shirts, which is quite nice, and buy two, get one free on over 100 Amiibo. GameStop’s large collection of toys and collectibles are on sale too, including the Gears 5 Collector’s Edition Jack Drone, which is down to $150 from $200.

Death Stranding is finally here. The PlayStation 4 game follows the story of Sam “Porter” Bridges, a man who ferries packages from one location to another. It’s not as simple as it sounds, however. There is a lot to know, and GameSpot has put together a list of nine beginner tips to know to help you deliver packages on time and undamaged like a great UPS employee. The video also covers other important details about survival and success in Death Stranding.

There is a lot of walking at the start of Death Stranding, and you’re doing so over treacherous paths. The simplest and most effective advice is to take is slooooow. Traversing the undulating and slippery slopes can be difficult, so a slow and steady approach is best.

The video also covers the best ways to manage your inventory, knowing your limits of how much is too much cargo to carry, and what to do and know when you face enemy combatants.

Check out the full video above to see our nine most essential beginner tips for Death Stranding.

In GameSpot’s Death Stranding review, Kallie Plagge wrote, “Death Stranding is a hard game to absorb. There are many intertwining threads to its plot, and silly names, corny moments, and heavy exposition belie an otherwise very simple message. That comes through much more clearly in the game’s more mundane moments, when you find a desperately-needed ladder left behind by another player or receive a letter from an NPC thanking you for your efforts. It’s positive without ignoring pain; in fact, it argues in both its story and its gameplay that adversity itself is what makes things worth doing and life worth living. It’s a game that requires patience, compassion, and love, and it’s also one we really need right now.”

Death Stranding introduces and layers a number of concepts and gameplay mechanics on top of each other, and one of the most important to grasp and manage is the weather systems. Chief among these is Timefall, a dangerous type of rain that degrades items you’re carrying much faster than usual–as if time itself is moving faster.

In the video above, we take a closer look at how the Timefall system works and how to best manage it–from finding shelter in the early game to cargo loading strategies. You can’t ever make yourself totally impervious to Timefall, but as the game progresses you’ll find yourself much more capable at handling yourself in it.

But degrading equipment isn’t the only threat posed by the weather in Death Stranding. In addition to Timefall management strategies, we also go over what it means when you see the clouds turn dark and inky (hint: nothing good) and how to navigate the treacherous snowy mountains to the north. Be ready.

The time has finally come: Death Stranding is available now and you can finally play Kojima Productions’ mysterious open-world game. By now, you’ve probably seen quite a bit of the game courtesy of the many trailers shown over the years. However, we promise you, that’s just the start of the Death Stranding experience. The journey is full of twists and turns, and you can be sure you won’t see a lot of it coming.

In the video above you can watch the opening moments of Death Stranding–the calm before the storm as it were. You’ll be introduced to main character Sam Porter Bridges and also the weird and wild world of a post-Death Stranding America. You’ll also get a feel for what the game involves and what the overall goal that you, as Sam, will pursue.

GameSpot’s Death Stranding review awarded it a 9/10. “Death Stranding is a hard game to absorb,” said Kallie Plagge. “There are many intertwining threads to its plot, and silly names, corny moments, and heavy exposition belie an otherwise very simple message. That comes through much more clearly in the game’s more mundane moments, when you find a desperately-needed ladder left behind by another player or receive a letter from an NPC thanking you for your efforts.
