Video gamers will have a wonderful time on Black Friday (Nov. 28) as major U.S. retailers are coming up with game bundles that offer huge discounts. These bundles are simply irresistible to any avid computer game enthusiast out there.

With the PlayStation4 and Xbox One being the most popular next-gen gaming consoles today, the focus of the Thanksgiving and Black Friday bundles are for these platforms. But apart from offering great packages at irresistible prices, U.S. retailers are making sure that people don't spend time lining up in stores when they shop. They can simply make their purchase online.

According to GameZone, a leaked advertisement from Dell showed their awesome game bundles. For PS4, there will be a "Grand Theft Auto V" and "The Last of Us Remastered" bundle that will only cost $399.99, for a $120 savings.

For the Xbox One, the game bundle includes "Assassin's Creed Unity" and "Black Flag." It will only cost $329.99, $70 cheaper than its original price.

At Walmart, buyers can also get discount packages. For the Xbox One, the starter bundle costs $379, while the "Assassin's Creed" bundle is only $349. For the Xbox 360, the retailer offers "Call of Duty: Ghosts" and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" bundle at $249. For the PS3, they offer a 12 GB Starter Edition.

But even before the holidays, Best Buy has already started offering great discounts. On Nov. 8, the store held a one-day sale, bundling the Xbox One game console with a membership to Xbox Live Gold for a year, while on Nov. 9's one-day sale, they offered "buy one and get one for half the price" on Nintendo 3DS games.  Target also offered "buy two and get one free" game on all gaming platforms on Nov. 9.

These are just pre-holiday selling, so those who missed the weekend sale need not despair. The bundle prices may go even lower, and consumers can expect more great packages.  Holiday shoppers who want to snag great items at bargain prices need to keep their eye out for upcoming offers.
