Buy one Xbox 360 game at Best Buy, get another half off
Best Buy is really looking to give GameStop a run for their money, especially with their latest sale — Starting today, if you buy one Xbox 360 title you will be able to purchase a second at half price. In other words, spend around 90 bucks and walk away with two brand new games.
Currently, Best Buy has listed 231 titles that are available through the promotion including forthcoming titles such as BioShock 2 and Final Fantasy XIII.
Peep the full list here.
PS3 Killzone 2/MGS4 80GB bundle coming to Best Buy?
If the above pictures are anything to go by, Best Buy is gearing up to launch a 80GB PS3 bundle that will include both Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.
According to Joystiq, Best Buy employees have confirmed the bundle to be real and that it will feature a $399 price point just like the normal 80GB system. This is quite the enticing deal to those who have yet to purchase a PS3 and are looking to.
Perhaps Sony is looking to push more PS3s out the door to make way for a cheaper model. Or perhaps, the PS3 slim?
Best Buy Holds Video Game Clearance Sale
Best Buy is holding a large video game sale for most consoles like the Xbox 360, Playstation and Wii today. Prices have all been marked down to $9.99, a far cry from their original prices which started at $60.
Over 100 games are on sale, but if you don’t want to wade through the whole list, here’s a few recommendations. Xbox 360 owners could do a lot worse than C&C: Red Alert 3, Condemned 2, and Devil May Cry 4. On PS3, Pure, Guitar Hero 3, and Soul Calibur 4 are good choices. On the Wii, the selection’s not quite so good, but Samba de Amigo’s a great choice if you like off-beat rhythm games.
Just like the famed sales made by Circuit City some months back, you better get to Best Buy quick if you want to get hold of those games for a steal!

Pearl Jam’s “Ten” DLC Coming, Best Buy Offering More Songs
Harmonix has revealed that the entirety of Pearl Jam’s “Ten” album would be released as Rock Band downloadable content on March 24, which is next Tuesday.
It will sell as a bundle for 1440 Microsoft points ($18), though individual tracks can also be bought for 160 points ($2) a piece.
Additionally, Best Buy is offering three more downloadable tracks – “Brother”, “Alive (live)” and “State of Love & Trust (live)” – in exchange for a purchase of the physical rerelease of “Ten”.
If you don’t want to buy the album on CD, you can always wait for a while to let the tracks appear online as downloadable content. Best Buy did this thing with Disturbed.
Best Buy going spooky for Resident Evil 5 launch
If you live in or around Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania you should head to the local BestBuy and check out their launch event for Capcom’s Resident Evil 5.
In leui of the game’s launch, Best Buy employees will be dressed up as zombies, TV screens will show nothing other than static snow, and entire sections of the store will be turned into a haunted house. Sounds cool right?
Kotaku says if BestBuy corporate thinks the launch party goes well we could very well see more and more themed launch parties. Too bad I’m too far away.
Best Buy discounting PS3 games, too
It seems Microsoft’s beloved Xbox 360 isn’t the only one getting some love from Best Buy as it was recently made known that they have begun a promotion discouting several games for the Playstation 3 as well.
Quite a bit bigger list than that of the Xbox 360 with Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm marked down to $24.99, while Bioshock, Dangerous Hunts 2009, and Hell’s Highway get marked to $29.99.
That’s not all though NBA 2K9, Call of Duty: World at War, Shaun White Snowboarding, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, and Tom Clancy’s Endwar are all getting a reduced price of $39.99.
Just like the Xbox 360 promotion there is no telling when this will end so if you plan on getting any of these games you better do it soon.
