GameStop has dropped $30 off the price of Rock Band bundles, what with the bundles for Rock Band 2 coming out this week. If you don't care about the improved instruments, it's not a bad deal. Also, they are having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all used games this week, so it might be a good opportunity to stock up on some things you may have missed at release.
Elsewhere, the Rock Band 2 bundles are getting some gift with purchase promotions. Best Buy has a free set of drum shades. I'm not sure what good drum shades are going to be, but they're giving them away. Meanwhile, Circuit City is offering up a free T-shirt.
And, finally, Amazon has several games on clearance. Titles like The Club and Two Worlds are pretty cheap, but The Darkness is the best deal at less than $5. It isn't a great game, but absolutely worth playing at that price if you haven't tried it yet.
Hit the jump for our roundup of this week's bargains.

And I'd be all over the slashed original Rock Band sets if the quality of them wasn't so much garbage =<.
I had at least 10 people today bring mention "hearing about a sale", but not bringing the coupon.
(Destructoid was not mentioned, but who knows? I didn't see this post till I got home from work.)
