DICE, the developers of Battlefield 3, kicked off this morning with some pleasant news for PS3 owners. The PS3 will be the first platform to get Battlefield 3 expansions. Those who plan on getting BF3 on PC or Xbox 360 need not fret because the exclusivity window is quite small. It’ll only last one week which is a lot shorter than the exclusivity window Call of Duty expansions get on Xbox 360.

EA really, really wants gamers to use Origin. It knows if it can convince gamers to give the service a try just once, it can make long-time customers out of us. Of course, EA needed to tap into the alluring power of Battlefield 3 to lure customers in since Battlefield 3 isn’t being sold on Steam. Pre-orders are already coming with free DLC and access to the Battlefield 3 multiplayer beta, but it will also come with a free game.

Kmart’s June 12-18, 2011 is a little sparce this week, but gamers still may be able to find one or two great deals. This is especially true if you have passed up on one or two recent PS3 or Xbox 360 releases, since 14 console games have been reduced. The best thing to do is go into the ad with no expectations, that way you’ll be pleasantly surprised when something good does appear.

As usual, there’s a console deal…

This is of those very unassuming products at CES 2011 that so many people quickly pass by and yet it is so very cool once you find out exactly what all it does.

It was at the CES Unveiled event a couple days ago and, like most people, saw it as simply a series of remote controlled vehicles based on a video game property.

Oh, we were so very wrong.

Alright everyone it’s time once again to bask in the wonderful gaming deals that Kmart has to offer. Unlike last week, Kmart is going light on the gaming coupons for console games. Instead, Kmart is discounting some popular games by as much as $20. Your choices include Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Medal of Honor, NBA Jam and an assortment of EA Sports titles.

Walmart is jumping back into the ring starting next week. The retailer is having a week long sale on games and electronics. If you missed out on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this will be your chance to save some extra cash without worrying about a 24 hour time limit or insane crowds.

GameStop’s Cyber Monday 2010 specials have gone live. They say Cyber Monday is the online equivalent to Black Friday as far as sweet deals go. Whether that statement holds any weight depends on what you’re looking for. Walmart has deals going on all week, but its initial offerings leave much to be desired. Now it’s GameStop’s turn to win you over.

The time for gorging on delicious foods has come to an end. The energy obtained from turkey was used by many to brave the crowds and cold weather during Black Friday a couple days ago. A lot of the sales have diminished with only a few still holding on through the weekend. You can’t quite rest yet because Cyber Monday is less than 12 hours away. Cyber Monday is the busiest online shopping event of the year, and retailers will once again be nipping at the bit for your cash.

It’s amazing how we have more than a couple gaming sales at Kmart that are all different. If Kmart’s Pre-Black Friday and Black Friday sales haven’t already gotten your attention, maybe its Thanksgiving sale will. A few of these deals such as the Kinect and Wii gaming coupon specials have already been reported. However, Kmart is also discounting a lot of games on Thanksgiving. Along with those discounts come more gaming coupons.

We’ve uncovered a good number of sales today. They are no doubt related to the holiday season. So far retail outlets such as Walmart and Sears will be having big sales in the near future, and Amazon is attempting to match its competitors. Today the website has discounted Medal of Honor for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC down to $39.99. This offer will last throughout the day.
