Mass Effect 3 comes out March 6, 2012, so it’s the perfect time for pre-order incentives to start showing up online. So voila! It turns out people who purchase from Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop or Walmart can get a little something extra with their purchase. In most cases, it’s just a little bit of DLC, more »

roof of the holiday season hit me quite hard on Saturday when I saw an absolute flood of people at Best Buy. I didn’t enter a Walmart, but I’d imagine the scene wasn’t any better. Keep that in mind if you plan on venturing out to Walmart sometime next week as holiday pricing is in full effect.

Games are great and all, but they wouldn’t look nearly as good without a HDTV. Displays are very important to today’s gamer. We want our TVs to be bigger, our images crisper and we want to buy TVs on the cheap. Well that’s what Black Friday is for isn’t it? Lucky for you shoppers out there, Walmart has placed a number of HDTVs on sale before Black Friday. These are more like Black Tuesday deals.

Good news from Walmart! It’s just put up a preview of it’s 2011 Black Friday deals online. It hyped up the reveal earlier today with an email that promised a sneak peek at the sale items that would show up at 12:01am EST. Well, it’s past 12:01am, and here are some of the electronic and gaming deals you can look forward to checking out. So here’s what Walmart will have November 24-25, 2011. The store’s doors will open at 12am, Friday.

We’ll go through this by category, just because it’ll make all this easier…

Not to be bested by Amazon and its countdown to Black Friday sales bonanza, Walmart has announced a Super Saturday sales event that will take place November 5. According to its press release, the discounted prices on certain items will remain until midnight, or until stores run out of stock. There are only a handful of gaming-related items, but they just may be something that interests you. Walmart also brought back its layaway option for the holidays, so that’s also something to consider.

Last week, Walmart printed a heck of a deal in its weekly ad. The retailer listed the 4GB Xbox 360 Kinect bundle for $249, effectively putting it on the same playing field as the recently discounted 160GB PS3. It turns out Walmart didn’t mean to imply to the price drop was permanent by calling it a “rollback.” It was all a mistake.

So, you want a PlayStation 3D Display when it comes out on December 31, 2011 and you want Resistance 3 to come with it, but for some reason you don’t want to get it through Amazon or GameStop. Well, there’s now another option. Walmart is going to carry the bundle too, at a price of $499.96, and there’s a way to get Resistance 3 with it there too…

August 28 through September 5 may be the perfect time to pick up a 4GB Xbox 360 Kinect bundle. Scans from an upcoming Walmart ad lists the bundle for $249. It contains the console, Kinect and a month of Xbox Live Gold.

It looks like Walmart isn’t the only one jumping on the early 3DS price drop train. Target bought a ticket too! It turns out the other big box store has decided that it also can’t wait until August 12, 2011, when the 3DS’ price is set to officially drop from $249.99 to $169.99. If you had to your local Target today (August 10, 2011), you can get your new handheld for the lower price.

This news comes one day after Walmart’s price drop…

Don’t buy a Nintendo 3DS right now. The price is going to drop to $169.99 on August 12. Furthermore, anyone who purchases a 3DS before then will be official Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors. This prestigious title will grant every “early” 3DS owner access to 10 Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games and 10 NES Virtual Console Games. However, Walmart may drop the price ahead of the official date.
