Man, oh man, have I got a story for you about Black Friday and Madden 23. So, picture this: it’s the week of Black Friday, and I’m hyped up. I’ve been waiting all year to snag Madden 23 at a decent price, and I’m on the hunt. I woke up early, grabbed my coffee, and started scouring the internet.
First, I hit up Amazon. I saw Madden 23, and guess what? It was down to 30 bucks! I couldn’t believe my eyes. I mean, this game usually goes for like 70, so this was a steal. But, you know, I had to be sure. I thought to myself, “Is this the best deal out there?”

- I checked out Best Buy next.
- And then went to the Microsoft Store.
Everywhere I looked, the prices were good, but that Amazon deal was sticking in my mind. 30 dollars for a brand-new Madden game? That’s insane! But here’s where I messed up a bit. I got distracted. You know how it is on Black Friday. Deals everywhere, flashing lights, limited-time offers… I started looking at other stuff. A new controller, some other games, you name it.
By the time I circled back to the Madden deal, it was later in the day. I refreshed the page, and bam! The price had changed. It was still a discount, but not as good as before. I was kicking myself. I should have just grabbed it when I saw it.
But, I didn’t give up. I kept digging, checking out different stores online. I even found a site that let me compare prices from a bunch of places. That was pretty handy. I was scrolling through, looking at all the options, trying to find that sweet spot of price and trustworthiness.
Finally, after a few hours, I found another solid deal. Not as good as the first one, but still pretty darn good. I wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice. I added it to my cart, checked out, and boom, I had Madden 23 on the way.
So, what’s the lesson here? When you see a killer deal on Black Friday, especially for something like Madden 23, don’t hesitate. Snatch it up before it’s gone! Trust me, you don’t want to be like me, kicking yourself for missing out.
A few days later
The game arrived, and I’ve been playing it non-stop. It’s awesome! Even though I didn’t get the absolute best deal, I’m still happy with what I paid. And hey, it’s a good reminder for next year. Black Friday is all about fast action and quick decisions. I learned that the hard way, but at least I’ve got a great game to show for it. And a great story to tell you all, right?
