By Paul HunterIt's that time of the week again when retailers across Canada entice us into their brick and mortar stores with gaming deals, freebies, and exclusive bonus offers.
Since it's early February, as expected, most deals fall into the okay category. There are a few exceptions however, such as Best Buy offering $20 off a Bioshock 2/Dante's Inferno bundle, as well as Bioshock for $9.99. If you haven't played the original Bioshock you really need to check it out at that price, it's less than we're used to paying for a movie ticket.
The $299 360 Elite bundle at Future Shop, which comes with Pure, Lego Batman, Prince or Persia, Assassins Creed is a great value. The four games are a bit old, but they still hold their own.
Zellers is offering $20 off the DSi and the floundering PSPgo, not bad.
