Welcome to my new weekly blog post(?) Deals! Here I will be going over the great deals on video games, movies and other crap I found in the Sunday ads and at the stores. I thought I'd start this week because of Best Buy's awesome movie sale.

Both Best Buy and Circuit City have a sale this week on what could only be described as "crime" DVDs. Best Buy having the slightly lower price of $4.99, while Circuit City has them at $6.99. The selections vary a little, I noticed Circuit City was the only one with Italian Job, while Best Buy had several "exclusives" like 25 Hour, Gangs of New York and all three of the Godfather movies. On top of that the Circuit City in my town already has a somewhat limited selection of DVDs and some of the more obscure titles on both lists were only available at Best Buy, like The Warriors. I bought three movies at Best Buy this week, 25 Hour, Carlito's Way(yes the original) and The Warriors, for a total of $16.09 including tax.

On the gaming front this week wasn't anything special. Best Buy had a particularly small video game section in this weeks ad highlighting several not on sale items. Circuit City had a mildly better selection with all "Cool Deals" games being 25% off. Here is the problem with that, what exactly is a "Cool Deals" game? Other than the few advertised in the ad itself you'll be hard pressed to find any games with that small blue sticker on it. I searched through the Xbox 360 section only finding Just Cause with the sticker on the case. Several PS2 games and Xbox games had the sticker though, including Half Life 2 and TimeSplitters 2. Just Cause was surprisingly only $14.00 before the sale, droping the total to about $11.00, not bad if I do say so myself.

I didn't notice anything else particularly exciting this week, but then again I didn't look too hard. Remember that these ads and deals sometimes vary from location to location so always check your local store or online before taking anything I said to heart. I look forward to doing this again next week and hope to see your comments soon.
