Some deals may also be availabel on the web site, though not likely the one-day in-store sale items.

There’s a lot so I’ll stick to the game deals for now:

• Friday only, World of Warcraft for $39.99 and Battle Chest for $19.99 (reg. $39.99)
• Friday only, free $10 gift card with full-price ($59.99) purchase of Fable II, Halo 3 or Gears of War for Xbox 360.

• Build Your Own Wii Bundle for $249.99 – Includes the system, any game and choice of one of three controllers. Appears to be all weekend.
• Free $10 gift card with Mario Kart for Wii purchase for $49.99.
• PS2 Lego Batman bundle for $149 (system, Lego Batman game and Justice League DVD.
• Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundles for all three current consoles for $84.99 each. $74.99 for PS2.

They also always have a great deal on USB thumb drives and SD cards – such as the 8GB for $14.99 – and they rarely run out of those. They store susually have discount bins (including returned items) near the entrance or yellow-tagged on racks between sections.

Strangely, the store in my area has an Apple department and not one Apple-related sale is listed in the print ad.
