Another Sunday, another round of new game deals and promotions - let's get to it!
Best Buy is running some of the better Nintendo related sales this week, including Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition for $19.99! They're also offering Assassin's Creed III for $29.99 and Call of Duty: Black Ops II for $39.99. If you're shopping for Wii U hardware, you'll receive a free copy of NintendoLand with the purchase of a Wii U Basic set. All of these offers include free shipping.
From Toys R Us, we have a Buy 1, Get 1 30% off sale on Skylanders figures and accessories. TRU's website is claiming this to be a Skylanders Giants sale, but you'll find plenty of Spyro's Adventure items in the mix as well. They're also offering a Buy 1, Get 1 40% off sale on all video games priced $19.99 or less, and 25% off Skylanders Giants Starter Packs. Shipping charges hurt most of these deals if you'll be shopping online, but if you have a local store, many items qualify for in-store pickup.
Amazon has kicked off their Video Game Spring Outlet event, but while they have some great deals for other systems, Nintendo related sales are very thin. The only notable mention is their discount on Skylander Giants Starter Packs - the 3DS and Wii U versions are $49.99, while the Wii version is $44.99. Free shipping included! Amazon is also offering some significant discounts and free shipping with a number of Skylanders character and battle packs - if you've been looking to add to your Skylanders collection, you'll definitely want to have a look. Per the usual with Amazon, they may eventually price match some of the other more popular sales this week, but nothing as of this writing - you can always check here and see if they've matched Best Buy's Wii U offers.
Target is listing Skylander Giants Starter Packs for $54.99, but considering Toys R Us and Amazon both trump this deal, you'll want to buy elsewhere unless you're looking to shop locally and a Target store is your only option. They're also offering Assassin's Creed III for $39.99, but Best Buy's offer is $10 less and includes free shipping.
Gamestop has a number of pre-owned promotions that end today. If you purchase 2 pre-owned Wii or DS games, you'll get 1 free. You can use promo code 15FREE during checkout to also receive free shipping and a 15% discount if you order $29.99 or more. They're also offering a 30% discount on select pre-owned games with promo code 30PREOWNED, with the extra 15% discount helping to compensate for shipping charges - too bad the codes won't stack.
And that's a wrap for another installment of GrubberGamer's Online Game Deals. Remember, you'll find many more game specific discounts after the jump! 'Till next time, thanks for reading.
