Online retail giant Amazon has launched a new "countdown to Black Friday" event where it will offer a multitude of deals on a variety of items, including video games, all month long and beyond.

　　Amazon will offer "tens of thousands" of deals as part of its new countdown event through its new Black Friday hub. The promotion runs through Black Friday itself--November 27--and ends on December 22. It also might benefit you to be an Amazon Prime member, as subscribers get access to more than 30,000 Lightning deals 30 minutes before everyone else as part of this new sale.

　　Some of the gaming items on sale today, November 2, as part of Amazon's new Black Friday promotion include Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain for $40 and Dragon Age: Inquisition for $30 (or less). Head to the video game hub of Amazon's Black Friday page to see all the video game offers.
