Another week, another edition of Discountoid. This time around, Ninja Gaiden 2 is seeing a permanent $20 reduction at a few retailers.
Circuit City has put their Rock Band bundles on sale to make room for the new Rock Band 2 product, so this might be a good time for you to save a little cash on some instruments if you don't mind using the older models.
Ramping up for the holiday season, GameStop is doing one of their trade-in promotions this week where every two 360, PS3 or Wii games you give them nets you an additional $10 in store credit.
And, with Silent Hill: Homecoming releasing this week, there are a few giveaways with purchase. Best Buy will inflict the horrifying (for the wrong reasons) DVD of Silent Hill with a purchase. I'm much more interested in getting my hands on the Pyramid Head keychain that Circuit City has on offer.
Hit the jump to see all the deals we scrounged up for you this week.

Ninja Gaiden II
Does that mean the first one is only twenty?
If anyone is looking to pick up Pure, Blockbuster Video is selling it at $50. There was some promotion we had going on where anyone who bought the game would get a 500 MS Points card with purchase, but we won't get the cards until probably the 2nd week of October, so the company is offering a $10 instant rebate until October 4th.
it looks really tiny. also looks like cloud from ff7.
first you cost me my MSI ticket
and now my S.H:H.C.
