Oh Target, you’re always good for leaking your own ads. It’s done just that with its November 13-19, 2011 sale ad moments ago. And, as you can probably guess, there are deals that gamers are going to want to look into and take advantage of next week. While the games, consoles or accessories haven’t experienced price drops, most do come with some kind of gift card.

Let’s begin with the big purchases next week that will net buyers gift cards…

It’s getting to be a trend where Target will leak certain sale pages from next week’s ad the Friday before. That’s what it’s done this week with it’s July 24-30, 2011 ad. This week focuses on some general deals and items. You know, things college students might want to grab before heading back to school next month.

The biggest sale will be a buy one, get one 50% off deal on a wide assortment of in-stock video games…

PopCap Games is known for its simple, yet extremely mesmerizing games. Does Peggle, Bejeweled or Plants vs. Zombies ring a bell? We thought it would. PopCap has a new game coming out this month called Unpleasant Horse. It’ll be offered for free in the Apple App Store and is the first project from its new label called 4th & Battery.

The Consumer Electronics Show ended yesterday (January 9, 2011), and for four days over 2,700 tech companies had the chance to show the world what they’re selling and what we may expect to see in shelves this year. This was certainly a massive event that broke new records that include 30,000 international attendees and 22 CEOs from top companies who participated in keynotes.

Target’s latest ad is once again very low key. There are a few sales that gamers may want to check out between January 9-15, 2011, but not many. Still, if you like Kingdom Hearts, the Xbox 360 or Xbox 360 and PS3 games, you may want to stop by your local store and use up some holiday gift cards.

There’s a Target gift card promotion running that makes an Xbox 360 purchase seem a little more attractive…

It’s time to turn out the lights and empty the popcorn for troubled rental chain Movie Gallery which, according to the Wall Street Journal, will close all of its United States stores. Movie Gallery had stores under that name and also owned Hollywood Video and its Game Crazy retail offshoot.

The company had originally used the dreaded word “reorganization,” which often leads to this outcome anyway. After filing bankruptcy twice in a little more than two years, Movie Gallery couldn’t keep it going. WSJ reported that Movie Gallery never recovered from taking on $600 million in debt through the 2005 acquisition of Hollywood Video and Game Crazy. Those were better financial times and going to a video rental store was how almost everybody picked up a movie for the weekend.

Stern Pinball, makers of arcade-quality pinball machines, has announced a series of US pinball tournaments promoting its Iron Man pinball machine.
