Gamers can be difficult people to shop for when the holidays come around. That’s partially because so many are about instant gratification. If a game is due out that one is interested in, odds are the gamer will already have a pre-order in at his or her favorite store. Which means that sometimes gifts that aren’t games, but are game-related, are the best bet.

Of course, there are only so many gift cards you can give. I mean, they’re quite practical and will nicely feed the recipient’s habit, but they’re hardly personal. That’s where general goodies can help. You could find a really awesome and unique gift that’s somehow related to the hobby, but could be hard to find or the kind of item someone wouldn’t normally buy for him or herself.

So, Gamertell’s here to help. I’ve scoured stores and the internet to find the best unisex gamer gifts that aren’t actually games that are under $50. That way you can make someone happy without having to worry about getting them something they already own…

So you’ve been playing around with the idea of purchasing LittleBigPlanet 2, but didn’t want to pay full price? That’s understandable, especially since we’re about to enter the part of the year that is heavy with popular releases. But maybe LBP 2‘s new price drop will be enough to entice you.

LittleBigPlanet 2 received some pretty cool DLC this week. The Toy Story DLC contains everything from costumes to themed levels. Along with those themed levels are a few new music tracks that were designed just for this game. The three tracks were composed by Winifred Phillips who is also known for her musical work on God of War, Spore Hero and SimAnimals. Phillips was kind enough to provide Gamertell with all three of the new music tracks for LBP2’s Toy Story DLC, and we’d like to share our thoughts about them.

Time to do some shopping! Amazon’s video game Deal of the Day isn’t just one deal, it’s five. And they aren’t going to all be available at once, either. They’re scattered throughout the day as a series of lightning deals. Which means if you want games or accessories, you’re going to have to bookmark the page and visit repeatedly.

Only one deal has been revealed so far. It’s LittleBigPlanet 2 for the PS3…

Prepare yourself, because something momentous is going to happen. I’m actually going to buy extra LittleBigPlanet character costumes. That’s because Sony has just announced Final Fantasy VII Sackboy costumes for LBP and LBP 2. No! Don’t go running to your PS3 right now! The costume packs aren’t up yet. They’re being added to the PlayStation Store on July 13, 2011.

This is the first time Sackboy will be able to dress up as Final Fantasy characters…

LittleBigPlanet has appeared on every possible Sony platform since it’s been released, so everyone knew it was coming to the PlayStation Vita. I doubt anyone was shocked when Sackboy showed p on the handheld at the Sony E3 2011 press conference. The Vita version will be tailor-made for the portable, with touch screen controls and all kinds of new levels and creation tools.

In a way, LittleBigPlanet for the Vita may give LittleBigPlanet 2 owners deja vu…

Best Buy’s April 17-23, 2011 ad is out and it is catering to PS3 people. Look at it this way, there’s a really good chance you’re going to get a free gift card this week when you make a purchase there, provided you buy a system or game. Let’s just get right to it…

If you’re planning to do some shopping this forthcoming week, then there’s two reasons to stop by Target. If you’ve got some serious Tron obsession, then odds are you’ll be compelled to visit the store and take advantage of the Tron Legacy and Tron deal. Gamers with a lot of cash to burn, who perhaps didn’t cave and get the 3DS at launch, will find themselves lured in by a buy two, get one free sale event on select games and accessories. Both promotions are detailed in the April 3 – 9, 2011 ad.

Since Gamertell is a gaming site, we’ll start with the buy two, get one free promotion…

Best Buy has quite a few dales going on this week, catering to people who are looking to buy the latest March 8, 2011 releases. Well, in one case it’s March 6, 2011 release.
