The PlayStation 4 is easily one of this year's hot ticket items, but let's not rule out the PlayStation 3 as a viable gift. And with the PS4 sold out at most major retailers, the PS3 might actually be your only option. Let's be clear, that's not a bad thing.
In addition to a deep catalogue of games including hit exclusives like The Last of Us, Journey, and Shadow of the Colossus, Sony will continue to show the PlayStation 3 support — as evidenced by Gran Turismo 6 which will be released as a PS3 exclusive.
So if you or your loved ones don't already own a PlayStation 3, now might be a great time to get one. And there's certainly enough bundles to choose from. If you already own a PS3, there are a slew of other discounts for games, peripherals, and more. Below is a full rundown on what we consider to be the best PlayStation 3 video game deals for the 2013 Black Friday.
