    This new image above will be titled simply ‘Merica.

    If you, like me, are counting down the days until the release of Man of Steel (49 days) then Wal-Mart is offering you a chance to shave a few hours off of that wait. The big, evil corporation will be selling early screening tickets the the summer’s biggest movie beginning May 18th at 8AM in over 3,700 stores that will let them watch the movie at special 7PM showings on June 13th.

    The tickets will also come with a code that will allow you to go ahead and pre-order the movie on Blu-Ray and receive a free digital comic written by the movie’s writer David Goyer.

    This is actually a new idea that I could get behind. Now before you go off spouting your hatred of Wal-Mart as the Hitler of retailers just pull back a bit bleeding hearts. I think in idea alone this is a great idea and may be a look forward to what future movie blockbusters could end up doing. There is a large amount of people that I can see buying tickets in this fashion.

    Man of Steel releases on June 14th.

  • 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?

  • 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.
