Black Friday 2015 is coming, and among the things that gamers will be looking for during the upcoming major price drop are console bundles.

Since most of the latest consoles have already been selling for more than a year now, Black Friday 2015 is the perfect time for major discounts. Sony and Xbox One are expected to offer ridiculous price drops and console bundle deals in time for Black Friday, according to the Latin Post.

Sony has begun offering PlayStation (PS) 4 console deals that start from $349.99. On Oct. 9, the tech giant also announced the "UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 Bundle," which only costs $399.99, the report relays.

Next month, Sony will offer several other bundles including "Limited Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops III 1TB PS4 Bundle," "NHL 16 PS4 Bundle," and "Star Wars Battlefront PS4 Bundle" exclusively for Canada. Gamers are expecting a major price cut for all the bundles when Black Friday begins.

Meanwhile, Dell's leaked Black Friday ad has made gamers excited over its $299.99 Microsoft Xbox One Bundle deal, which includes a 500 GB console, one 3.55-millimeter headset, a second controller, and a copy of "Fallout 4" and "Gears of War Ultimate Edition." This deal slashes $170 from the original price of the whole bundle, AL.com reports.

Moreover, Dell will reportedly offer a $1,199 deal for an Alienware 15 gaming laptop and $1,249 for an Alienware X51 gaming desktop computer.

Microsoft Corporate VP of Marketing Mike Nichols revealed that Forza Motorsport 6 and EA Sports FIFA 16 have contributed greatly to the company's growth in terms of console sales, the report details.

"This holiday Xbox One owners will enjoy the greatest games lineup in the industry and in Xbox history, led by Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fallout 4, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Star Wars Battlefront, and the ability to play Xbox 360 games," the Post quotes Nichols' statement.

Based on past Black Friday sales trends, the gaming consoles released between January and May are expected to have a $30 price cut, while those released between June and October will have a $40 discount. The consoles released in November will most likely have a $45 price drop.
