Canadian Gaming Deals, May 15th Edition

By Paul Hunter

I'm not too sure who originally decided that video games should cost a pretty penny, but that person clearly has many pretty pennies. For the rest of us, slogging through this pitiful recession can be made a little easier with a dab of frugality.

This week's video game deals run the gamut from Hmmm, to woohoo!, to Ouch. If you're in the market for a new gaming console though, boy are you in luck! It looks like Best Buy, Future Shop and Dell are all selling PS3s with a bundled goodie or two. Best Buy and Super Store are having some decent deals for Xbox 360 consoles as well. Finally, Future Shop is throwing in a free copy of Big Brain Academy for shoppers who pick up a Wii this week.

So why wait, let's jump into the weekly deal highlight reel shall we?
