By Paul HunterWe all know that Xbox's Summer of Arcade is currently in full effect. For those people who are not currently Xbox owners, and missing out on all these great summer downloadable titles, then you really don't have a reason not to when you consider this week's Canadian gaming deals.
For one week only Best Buy, Future Shop and Wal-Mart are selling Xbox 360 Arcade units for $149.99. Considering these units debuted two years ago with a $279.99 price tag, that's pretty significant savings.
Future Shop also has a nice PS3 deal with a free copy of LittleBigPlanet and MLB 09: The Show thrown in when you buy a 160GB PS3 Uncharted bundle ($499.99). That's $20 off the regular price of $520, plus two free games. Makes me kind of sad because I bought a Metal Gear Solid 4 80GB PS3 bundle last year for $499. A year later you can get a PS3 with twice the hard drive space and three solid games.
Oh, and for those people who were in a black hole the last 9 years, Wal-Mart is selling a PS2 unit for $79. With a "how low can it go" mantra, this week sure resembles a party-size game of limbo.
Many more flyers highlights after the jump.
