If this thread already exists forgive me and go ahead and trash this one but I was unable to find anything.
So the holiday season is approaching and so are the gaming deals trying to catch some of our dollars. I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can post the deals we find, rumors of sales and such for the upcoming season.
To start it off Target is doing a Buy 2 Get 1 on Wii games this week which is pretty standard these days. To sweeten the pot a little bit there is an online coupon for $10 off the purchase of 2 Wii (or DS) games. So that is Buy 2 Get 1 -$10 on any Wii games over $14.99 so you could possibly get 3 (crappy) games for $6.66 a piece!
also there are rumors of Walmart including a $100 gift card with the purchase of a $200 Xbox 360 Arcade unit.
What I want right now is a great in-store deal for Modern Warfare 2. I know there's Amazon and Wal-mart's e-cards, but I'd rather buy a physical copy on launch day and avoid the wait for shipping.
Especially since there's apparently a postal strike going on, which would explain why 3 weeks later I still haven't received my copy of Demon's Souls.

ouch.
in the same vein I am looking for a good deal (preorder or otherwise) on New Super Mario Bros: Wii. I'll be purchasing it regardless but I'd like to get some free crappy trinket or something All I've heard of is Gamestop's dumb ass "finish it before Christmas and we'll give you $30 for it" deal.

For maximum evil, this thread should be merged with the backlog thread. I'm just saying.
If that Xbox 360/Walmart rumor is true, I'll get it. I do a ton of shopping at Walmart anyway (yay college and somewhat cheaper canned soup), so this would be quite good for me.

there's also a $10 Gift Card coupon with $75 purchase, but dunno if that combos with the above gift card offers
Awesome. Grabbing the game on Tuesday, saving the $20 card for either Silent Hill SM or FFCB.
Rock Band 2 is on sale at Best Buy for 360 and PS3 for $19.99.
I waited until until I could wait no longer so I picked it up.
I don't suppose it's the version with the instruments?
No, but that's $100 for the rest of the year.
I'm really tempted on 360 Arcade with free $100 gift card and then getting Rock Band 2 for free with said gift card.
Doesn't it still need to be in stock for them to pricematch? The BB I went to had to spend 15 minutes looking around the back for the copy I bought, and it was the last one. YMMV if they still have any on sunday
Just as a general word of advice for anyone that doesn't obsessively check it anyway: Cheap Ass Gamer is one of the definitive sources for gaming deals. It's saved me countless hundreds of dollars over the years.
Toys R Us is doing a $20 gift card with purchase of Modern Warfare 2, a $10 gift card with most other games and $30 gift card with purchase of two games.
Brutal Legend is about to become Amazon's Deal of the Day.
The multiplayer is fucking incredible, and a bigger focus than people realize. Everyone should play it.
I got everything _I_ was going to get out of that game, but it is certainly not a terrible game that no one should play. It is worth checking out, especially since they were selling those signed copies on the DF site a while back.

There are some other good deals on there too!
Lego Rock Band is free with any purchase >=$20 at Old Navy on Black Friday, if you're willing to risk the insanity.
I really like RB Drumsets and I prefer the clicky GH guitars.
What would be the cheapest way for me to acquire a clicky guitar, a cymbal-less drumset, and Lego Rock Band?
Also assume I might not be willing to go out on Black Friday.
(Or you could just try to convince me that the Guitar Hero drumsets are better. That might work too.)
I've got a bad case of lovin' you.
GET the Rock Band set and then get the used GH3 or GH2 guitar from EBStop.

Also, other than the newish releases at BB for $35, are there any noteworthy deals for black friday?
