Looks like Microsoft weathered the first “oh God will we sell any Xbox 360s in this economy?” storm last week, and then some. Redmond sold 25 percent more Xboxen this Black Friday weekend then it did last year, which was well before the general public had their 401(k)s on their mind. The Xbox 360, we’re [...]

Walmart has some pretty good video game deals going on right now. Available games are limited to certain titles, some better than others.

Most agree that this years Black Friday so-called deals kind of.. well.. suck. Sure, there are a few Blu-ray players around the $150 mark and Wal-Mart has an old Magnavox for $128. Every retailer has a $99 GPS along with a wide selection of cheap flash memory, but those are not worth sleep deprivation alone. Best Buy [...]

Despite Nintendo saying they would have a significant increase in Wii count at retailers this holiday season (and yes, I’m re-using the pun from the headline), it’s looking to be otherwise.
