Discountoid: Cheap handhelds and Buy 2 Get 1 games! photo

Sometimes I like to fantasize about being John F. Kennedy. Except that I'd be smarter than to sic my brother on the Mafia after they helped ensure my presidential victory. And I wouldn't have abandoned those Cuban refugees. I'd still totally be tapping Marilyn, though. Some things just shouldn't change.

Some strong deals this week. GameStop is doing their annual "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" sale on used titles, so it might be a good time to swing by your local store and see what's on the table. Game Crazy has some serious savings on their used handheld units. And Target is offering gift cards when you buy some Xbox 360 stuff, including MS points!

Hit the jump for all the week's bargains. And, if you're in the UK, you should head over to Gemsi's cblog and check out what's on sale in your neighborhood.

Hollywood Video has a crazy sale going on as well all used games $29.99 and under are $5. This only applies to stores that do not have gamecrazy attached to them.

@bastardmaster

I totally like your thinking. Except I'd get one and then get all those other PSP games I've missed, Crisis Core: FFVII, God of War, MGS: Portable Ops.

There's no three games I want right now, so I'm gonna have to pass the free game offer.

my fav part is seeing ppl come into gamestop and buy 2 used games... and when i tell them there's a sale they can get one free they shrug their shoulder. "there's nothing else i want"

ITS FREE WTF
