  • PS Vitas Only $199 At Target August 18-24th

    According to a leaked Target ad, the retailer will be selling both PS Vita sets for $199 during the week of August 18-24th. That is a savings of $50 for the WiFi version and a very helpful $100 off the 3G/WiFi version. Whether this is a Target only sale or the indication of a Vita price cut is not know, but either way if you have been looking for a good time to pick up Sony’s portable this may be it.

    I love my Vita and have not regretted buying it once in the year and a half I have had it. The library is ridiculously big and add in the collection of free games when you are a PS Plus member and the value is undeniable.

    Here is a scan of the ad from Target:

  • Ouya Console Will Be Out In June. Sold At Best Buy, Target And Others

    Ouya, the console that helped put Kickstarter on the front page by garnering over $8.5 million in donations, will see its release in June. The system has over 200 titles in development for the Android based system including the hugely popular Minecraft.

    Ouya will cost $99.99 and come with a console and one controller. Extra controllers will be made available for $49.99. Gamestop, Best Buy, Target and Amazon are among the leading retailers that will be carrying the system. If you backed the Ouya Kickstarter then you will be able to buy the system in March.

    Pre-orders are now being taken for the June release. Will the Ouya truly start a console revolution or will it join the eternal closet of damnation with the Jaguar, 3DO and Virtual Boy?

  • Target To Begin Price Matching, Too Late For My 3DS

    Target-Video-Games

    In an effort to win back gaming customers lost to the likes of Best Buy and Amazon, Target has announced that they will begin price matching other retailers and even their own website, Target.com, in stores. According to the new policy, if you find a price within seven days of your purchase from a retailer’s print ad or online site then Target will match the price.

    “Guests can confidently shop at Target every day for the best value in retail. We know that our guests often compare prices online. With our new Price Match Policy and the additional five percent savings guests receive when they use their REDcard, Target provides an unbeatable value,” said Target CEO Gregg Steinhafel.

    So where do I need to go to get back the 30 dollars from last year I lost because Target would not match their own online price?

  • Nintendo Releases Pink 3DS XL

    For a limited time you now have a third choice in color when picking up a 3DS XL.

    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.

    Nintendo is normally the king of multi-color systems but has been a bit stingy with the 3DS XL since the system released back in August. It is currently only available in red, blue and now the limited pink.

  • Gamestop Opening Over 3,000 Stores At Midnight For Black Friday.

    Gamestop has announced that they will be opening over 3,000 locations at midnight on Black Friday with the remaining stores set to open at 5 AM.

    At least the retailer is keeping it technically on Friday. Most stores like Wal-Mart, K-Mart and Target will be opening on Thanksgiving night which has led to threats of strikes by some employees.

  • You Want A Wii U Deluxe Set? Try Again Elsewhere.

    Multiple Retailers Already Out Of The $350 Set.

    Well that was fast. Gamestop reported that they had stopped reservations on the Wii U deluxe set last night and today the same has happened as Best Buy, Target and Toys R Us have stopped taking pre-orders in store for the 32GB system. Right now it looks like Toys R Us still has some for online reservation but if you are looking for a Wii U to reserve at most places you are going to have to go with the basic set.

    Most online retailers like Amazon have yet to put up the system for pre-order but if the past two days are any indication they will not last very long.
