    It was announced at the Gamestop Expo in Las Vegas that all Gamestop managers would be receiving a [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVQO” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Playstation 4[/amazon_link] and seven games as well as an [amazon_link id=”B00CMQTVMI” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Xbox One[/amazon_link].

    Personal note: What the fu**? If you are a Gamestop manager it is so great you are getting both consoles. I am happy for you. I guess I just missed the truck full of goodwill from Sony and Microsoft. When I managed an EB Games eight years ago I was lucky to get a nice lanyard from Sony or some Xbox pens. Hell, it was like Christmas morning when Nintendo would throw a free DS game your way.

You must be a Power Up Rewards member to take advantage of this deal.

    Here is the list of games eligible:

    -Assassin’s Creed IV

    -Battlefield 4

    Gamestop is trying to give you some extra incentive to buy a new Xbox 360 250GB E console. With every purchase of the newly redesigned system, Gamestop will give you a copy of [amazon_link id=”B00CJ7IUGS” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Legendary Edition[/amazon_link] for the massive price of free.

    Now if you have a perfectly good 360 sitting at home this may not be a good enough deal, but is a great bonus add-on for whoever is in the market for a new system.

    Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without Gamestop? The rumors that consoles may lock out used games in the future have many thinking that including the guys at Mega64. Their newest video lampoons the Sarah McLachlan ASPCA ads while giving us a woman much, much, much more beautiful.

    Also, there is a certain Gears of War creator eating Top Ramen which will become a future gif for my library.

    The pink and white handheld is available now at Target, and Best Buy. It will be available at Gamestop beginning on December 9th. The system will be available for a limited time and cost $199.99.
