It begins! As part of Amazon’s Black Friday Monday-Through-Friday promotion, they’re offering the Rock Band 2 Special Edition bundle at the patently absurd price of $70 for PS3 and 360. That’s the one with, you know, all the instruments. You can grab it via the Lightning Deals widget at this page.

This deal only lasts until 6:00 PM EST, though (3:00 Pacific) — or until supplies run out, and as of 12:05 almost 20 percent of the 360 version are sold already — so if you find this price tantalizing, you’d best act fast. That said, don’t be too crushed if you miss this one; Amazon’s offering up ridiculous deals all week, and there’s sure to be something else tasty coming down the pike.

I’ll post relevant updates here when I can, but you’ll probably also want to follow the Plastic Axe Twitter feed, in case I find something that might not deserve a full post. Alternately, if you want to keep your eye on the source, Amazon’s Black Friday Deals page is here.
