Deals: Mercenaries 2 for $45, free gift card with 360 and more

by Dustin Burg { Oct 5th 2008 at 1:45PM }

As is customary every Sunday, we diligently looked through the Sunday retail ads on the search for Xbox 360 related deals, discounts and offers. So here you go shoppers, enjoy the money savings fruit of our ad searching labor.

Starting off with Best Buy, they're giving away a free RC Centaur tank with Gears of War 2: CE pre-orders (available when game picked up) and Toys R Us has the Guitar Hero: Aerosmith bundle for $79. Over at Circuit City, they're giving away a free $20 game with purchase of an Xbox 360 Elite, are giving out life-size Tony Parker growth charts with NBA Live 09, and they're selling Mercenaries 2 to $45. Finally, Target stores are offering a free $40 gift card with the purchase of NBA Live 09 and an Xbox 360 Pro 60GB. Shop on!

You cannot read. The Target ad says you have to buy a 360 and NBA, not get a free copy of NBA.

Reading skills aside, post has been updated.

The Gears of War tank is pretty sweet, but I'm expecting the Lancer edition from Amazon already.

I found a video with more details on the Best Buy Gears of War 2 offer, it shows more photos and actual size of the remote control centaur tank

Reading skills aside...but now it's the spelling skills.
"$40 gift card withe the purchase"

Sorry, just trying to keep you credible.

If you were truly sorry, you wouldn't sound like a douchebag.

Good point

Slaughter @ Oct 6th 2008 9:32AM

I wasn't being a douche. They posted a Dell $50 coupon that doesn't work and then a Target offer that was incorrect. Credibility = 0

I love the deals post. I look for it every week

gnik eltrut @ Oct 5th 2008 5:17PM

You don't have to pick-up the tank, they'll ship that too... but the tank is shipped seperately

Thanks for another week of Xbox 360 deals! And... give Dustin a break guys. It's sunday, you're not supposed to spell correctly on sundays, ha.

I recently picked up Lost Odyssey & Grid from Target for $14.99, they are clearancing them out at most Target stores. Other $14.99 titles I've seen are Skate & NBA 08. These were the prices at 2 separate Targets I visited and others on CAG have picked them up for these prices as well.

YMMV of course

Dan @ Oct 5th 2008 5:34PM

that's great, except mercenaries 2 sucks ass

BananaBoat @ Oct 6th 2008 8:25AM

That's pretty much why it's being discounted so soon after it's release. It's sales must be amazing, or terrible, since those two extremes are the only justification for the price drop that any store could have.

Personally? I'd say it sold like garbage.
