Discountoid: Only a few shopping days left! photo

There's a little something for you to enjoy this holiday.

We're in the last week before Santa comes down chimneys everywhere, which means we're looking at the last of the bargains before the world ends in a fiery inferno of Christmas spirit. Or people will just wake up, exchange gifts and enjoy time with their families. One of those two things is definitely going to happen this week.

If you're still planning on the latter, you might want to check out some of the deals retailers have going on in the final run to the end of the season. Target has a great price on the Guitar Hero World Tour guitars bundle. Best Buy has cut the price of their EndWar package (featuring a wireless headset) nearly in half. And Circuit City is still going out of business in a lot of places and should have games discounted up to 40% (though the pickings were fairly slim last time I visited).

Hit the jump to see all the goodies you could put under your tree this week.

*sigh*, these are mostly games I wouldn't buy at any price. But oh well, the real deals come after x-mas. Btw, that girl in the picture looks oddly unhealthy...

She looks unhealthy because she is clearly a cock addict with a candy cane. Candy Canes are not cock. She needs cock.

I feel certain I could cure her illness if she'd only give me a chance......

I don't know where that comment came from. It's just...That chick is kind of hot....And makes me want to do degrading things.......

Anyway, yeah, some good deals this week. Keep up the good work on compiling these lists Conrad. And keep posting dope chicks on the front page along with said lists.

Sho Nuff is trying to be a troll.

Too bad he fails at life.

The Guitar Hero thing is tempting at Circuit City... I think I actually prefer Rock Band 2, though.

FYI: Prince of Persia, Far Cry 2, & End War have dropped to $39.99 @ GameStop (not sure how long this is going on). Haven't seen it really advertised anywhere, but it should automatically take $20 off at the register. This applies to used copies of the games as well.

NHL 09 for $38 at Best Buy is a motherfucking steal.
