Weekly Deals: Gears PC $15 and free tees galore

by Dustin Burg { Sep 14th 2008 at 3:00PM }

Update: Toys R Us has their own Force Unleashed offer, giving away a $20 gift card with an in-store purchase of the game. (Thanks Jonathan)

We're trying something different this week with our analysis of the week's best gaming deals. We're going to present them in one, long, run-on sentence that may or may not be readable. So, here we go ...

There's a free t-shirt with a Force Unleashed purchase at Best Buy and over at Circuit City they have a free t-shirt and $5 gift card with Force Unleashed, free t-shirt with Rock Band 2, 10% off all Rock Band accessories, Gears PC for $15, $5 off a 12-month Xbox Live subscription, and $10 off a wireless adapter which, again, are ALL deals at Circuit City with absolutely nothing going on at Target this week. PHEW! Deep breath and now it's time to pass out on the kitchen floor.

"absolutely nothing going on at Target this week." You got that right, my Target didnt even have RockBand2 so I had to go to Kmart of all places since Gamestop was still closed.

I had to do that for a game once. It was a horrible experience. I walk in to get Metroid Prime 2, but, it wasn't on the wall. So, I go and ask if they have it in stock, I get told yes, and wait 20 minutes for them to get it from the back. This was a week after it came out. Never again will I shop there.

Kmart does blow. Recently I was looking around for a zune to buy for my girlfriend's birthday. I called like 5 places, which were sold out, and then called Kmart. They had them, except they were also charging 30 bucks more than anyone else. Do they seriously wonder why they're going out of business?

yes, this is a great deal. with all these games coming out i'm going to need free clothes.

picked up that gears PC...$15? can't beat that with a bat.

Except that Gears PC was a limited release that didn't sell well and most stores don't have it anymore (which is why Epic actually went on record and said NO gears 2 pc.)

ryan @ Sep 14th 2008 4:46PM

shouldn't it be "free Force Unleashed with purchase of a t-shirt"? :P

bigmac375 @ Sep 14th 2008 5:48PM

Call of Duty 4 GOTY is 39.99 at Gamestop.

Xbox Blast @ Sep 14th 2008 6:59PM

:) Can't beat that.

If your store of choice is Best Buy, they may still have the pre-order free T-Shirts for Rock Band 2. Get the preorder, then immediately buy the game. I think until the full RB kit is available, you'll be able to buy the T-Shirt for $5.

Edboy @ Sep 14th 2008 9:25PM

and at 89 bucks, the wireless adapter is still too damn expensive

toys r us is giving a $20 gift card with force unleashed in case anyone missed that

LiveResistance @ Sep 14th 2008 10:15PM

FYI: You can get a $20 gift card if you buy "The Force Unleashed" at Toys R Us.

LiveResistance @ Sep 14th 2008 10:17PM

Oops..Gary beat me to it. :0)

I'm not sure how to contact you through any other means than a comment, so apoligies for the irrelevance of this being here.
Anyway, Xbox.com is giving away some exclusive pinatas, I'm not a fan myself, but I thought that was the kind of the thing you told people about on here.. so here you go;

since the zune has sort of wi-fi & lets your pc link with your xbox for music/videos; why isn't there a hack/program to let you use your zune as a wireless modem.?? p.s. my new zune's direction pad is working like a trick clutch of a car since it was dropped...

HEY!!!! @ Sep 15th 2008 10:20AM

I'm torn between getting an new 120gb ipod or a 120gb zune, can anyone tell me how the software is because itunes sucks and it's slow but i like the simplicity of the ipod.

Trunas @ Sep 15th 2008 12:00PM

I have had the new 80gig Zune since Christmas and love it. I got it for the same reason (I don't care for itunes)....I like it, the software is very very easy to use, I've had not one problem with it (the software or device), you have to update the device every few months, but only takes a minute and is also easy. When you compare the price i paid for it ($250) it was the same price for the 80gig, ipod but other than me not liking itunes, the zune did more (radio, wireless syncing, etc.) and the viewing screen is bigger.......oh, i forgot the back is unscratchable too.
