If you buy a Nintendo DS [preloaded with 5 bonus applications] for $169.99, you get a free $20 Target giftcard.

If you buy Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Assassin’s Creed II, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Mario and Sonic or Nerf: N-Strike Elite for $59.99 or less, you’ll get a $10 Target giftcard with each game you buy.

Buy a 120GB Xbox 360 Elite Bundle with Pure and Lego Batman and you get a $50 Target giftcard. Buy the Call of Duty Super Elite Xbox 360 bundle for $399.99 and you also get a $50 Target giftcard.

I love Target and the giftcards are a smart move for Target to make. They give consumers an incentive to shop at their store instead of Best Buy or Toys “R” Us and they’re assured of repeat business since consumers now have Target giftcards to spend.

Black Friday Gaming Deals

So after LEGO Batman, LEGO Indiana Jones, and Lego Star Wars [1, 2 and 3] NOW, we have LEGO Rock Band. Oh yeah, I said it. LEGO Rock Band.

Can you get much better than that?

I think not.

“LEGO Rock Band combines two compelling properties and creates an experience that family members of all ages will enjoy playing together as a group,” said Tom Stone, Managing Director, TT Games. “Harmonix and MTV Games are the world experts in music gameplay, and we’re genuinely thrilled to bring the unique and humour-filled LEGO experience to their Rock Band universe.”

“We’re thrilled to offer another LEGO branded gaming experience that will deliver humorous and social play for families and friends,” said Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, Vice President, the LEGO Group. “LEGO Rock Band is built around the same values of imagination and family-friendly creative role play that is present in other LEGO videogames. It will deliver innovative new elements of game play that complement the fun of the Rock Band experience.”

LEGO Rock Band is set to be released this year.

LEGO Rock Band Coming to Everything

Anywho, I shall reserve judgment on Lego Indiana Jones until I’ve played it and give you Yahtzee’s review of said game. It wasn’t such a scathing review that it turned me off to the game. If you’ve played Lego Indiana Jones, let me know how close he is to hitting the ole nail on the head.
