Buy certain games at Target, recieve a gift card
Joystiq has recently gotten their hands on a flyer released by Target that clearly shows you will recieve Target Gift Cards when you purchase some of their products.
First of all, if you purchase both Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, which comes bundled with MotionPlus, along with Grand Slam Tennis you will be greeted with a $20 gift card. Alternatively, if you purchase Guitar Hero Smash Hits for any console you will be given a $5 gift card.
Sure, it’s not much considering you have to spend upwards of $110 to get $20 back or $50 to get $5 but it is a discount of sorts.
