What’s your plan for Black Friday?

RedFlagDeals tracks the Black Friday savings that can be had in your area of the country including the flyers for retailers such as Walmart, Toys R Us, Target, Best Buy, Future Shop, Amazon, Apple, EB Games, and London Drugs.

Speaking of London Drugs, on Friday the retailer is rolling out with a same-day delivery program for residents in Vancouver, North and West Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, and Surrey.

Apple and developers donating proceeds on World AIDS Day

Monday, December 1 is World AIDS Day, and on that day, every purchase made at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store will support the Global Fund to fight AIDS.

Software developers making apps for iOS devices, meanwhile, are also supporting the initiative. Until December 7, all proceeds from purchasing a participating app or making a particular in-app purchase will be donated to the Global Fund. This includes popular games such as Angry Birds, Clash of Clans, and FIFA 15 Ultimate Team, as well as other programs like GarageBand, Kitchen Stories Recipes, and Star Walk 2.

If you haven’t already picked up Monument Valley or Threes!, this is your chance. They are two of the best iOS games you can get.

Meanwhile, in Las Vegas

Nominees for the first ever The Game Awards event were announced last Thursday.

The new awards show celebrating video games will stage its debut event in Las Vegas on Friday, December 5 and will be streamed live through a number of providers, including Twitch, YouTube, and on the consoles developed by Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony.

Up for Game of the Year are Bayonetta 2, Dark Souls 2, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The full list of nominees is here.
