It's that time again when we open up the Sunday newspaper, gather up all the retail ads and painstakingly look for the best gaming deals this week has to offer. So, enough setup already ... let's get to it.
One of this week's best new release deals is at Circuit City where they're offering
Stranglehold for only $47.99. That's a $12 savings which is quite the deal. We couldn't find any other software deals, but ran across Circuit City's 2-day Labor Day special (Sunday and Monday only) on a Premium 360 where they'll throw in a copy of Rockstar's
Table Tennis and a wireless controller for free. Nothing amazing, but it's something. Finally, for those of you who want to be guaranteed a HDMI connection on your 360, Best Buy is advertising the "new" Xbox 360 Premium w/HDMI SKU. It's a very nice gesture that prevents online orderers from getting an old, HDMI-less 360.
That's all the noteworthy deals we could find in this week's Sunday ads, but we're sure you've come across other deals online so feel free to share with your fellow fanboys. You know, because sharing is the right thing to do.

To be truthful, the Sunday retail ads are kind of a let down this week, not offering too many great deals that we haven't seen before. So, let's just get to it.
Stuntman: Ignition releases this week and if you're in the market for the game you'll have to decide between a free 16 page game guide offered by Circuit City or Best Buy's exclusive code to unlock the, quote, "game's fastest car". Intense isn't it? Other Circuit City deals include a 12+1 month
Halo 3 branded Xbox Live subscription for $39.99 and both black and white wireless controllers at $39.99. If you're not thrilled by those deals, maybe Target's $79.99
Guitar Hero II bundle will do it for you. Or not ...

This morning, while flipping through the Sunday newspaper ads, we discovered a few pretty good gaming deals we thought we'd share with you. The first deal that caught our is eye was
All-Pro Football 2K8 over at Best Buy which has been discounted to a very affordable $39.99, probably due to a little game called
Madden 08 being released as of late. Also available at Best Buy this week is an offer where if you purchase the Xbox 360 HD DVD player you'll get the movie
300 for free on top of
King Kong and the five other free movie offer. Finally, we know hordes of people will be purchasing
BioShock this week and if you get it at Circuit City you'll save $10. That's right,
BioShock will be available this Tuesday at Circuit City for $49.99. As always, spend wisely, be safe, and feel free to share the deals you've stumbled upon this week.
Update 1: Swapped out the image, because images can be confusing sometimes.

X3F Reader and Best Buy employee Zathu hit us up with some sage wisdom for those hunting down
HDMI capable Xbox 360s. According to Zathu, his store got a fresh batch of them, and noticed that they have their own SKU and UPC, and anyone can simply ask their local Best Buy if they have SKU
8493838 in stock. He also notes that they should have a seperate price tag denoting the HDMIness of the console for easy pick'ns. That should assist any of you
looking to get your hands on one.
[Thanks, Zathu]

Best Buy's latest promotional trickery in trying to get
Halo fanboys to pre-order
Halo 3 at their stores involves a gift card and free shipping. Their latest
Halo 3 pre-order promotion offers up a free $10 Best Buy gift card and free shipping (on online orders) for customers who pre-order the game AND purchase an accessory priced at $29.99 or more. So, you'd more than likely need to be in the market for an extra controller for this deal to make any sense, because going out of your way to buy an accessory simply for a $10 gift card doesn't make much sense. And honestly, we still think Circuit City's 4' tall Master Chief
wall graphic is the best pre-order offering out there, but if a $10 gift card attracts you then by all means go get 'em tiger!

More Xbox 360 price drop, price change, price info leakage made its way onto the net today with Joystiq receiving a Best Buy inventory sheet detailing a Xbox 360
Top Spin bundle. According to the papers, the
Top Spin bundle is going to retail for $399, be introduced on August 12th and include ... well, we aren't sure what it'll include, but we're thinking
Top Spin would be a good guess. The arrival of a new bundle at the $399 price point further proves the overall Xbox 360 price cut, but if this bundle only includes
Top Spin, then we'd stick with the (then) newly discounted $349 Premium.
Best Buy also went discount crazy on the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive this morning, slashing the price to $149.99 and even including the five free HD DVDs (pdf). But sadly, the HD DVD player stock has sold out online. Though, we advise checking with your local Best Buy, because we confirmed with our store and they too have dropped the price to $149 and it includes the
King Kong movie and the five free HD DVD offer. We've got some shopping to do!
[Thanks santini]

Via an anonymous tipster (which are our favorite kinds), Joystiq received picture evidence that electronics retailer Best Buy is getting rid of the Xbox 360 Core system and isn't going to stock anymore. The tipster supplied sheet shows the Core model with a "deleted" status which means Best Buy has discontinued the item with an "out of stock" date of July 27th. The anonymous tipster also mentioned that the Xbox 360 core preference code is set to "y", which means that the retailer isn't expecting any more stock.
So, with our rumor hat firmly secure on our heads, we have to speculate to what this exactly means. The most obvious conclusion would be that Microsoft themselves is discontinuing the Core system. But that isn't the case, because Joystiq has since heard back from Redmond since running the story and Microsoft is stating that the Core is still important to the 360 offerings and isn't going anywhere. So, could this just be a case of Best Buy removing the SKU due to inventory sake or could the removal of the Core hint at the rumored
price cut? You know, using the logic that Best Buy feels a soon to be priced $349 Premium system would sell well enough that there'd be no need for the Core does make sense. No matter what the case is, we don't have any real answer for Best Buy's lack of Core love, but the news does get our heads thinking crazy thoughts.

Our inbox just got spammed with a new Xbox 360 wireless networking adapter deal, so we feel obligated to share the news. From now until July 7th, Best Buy is offering a free $10 gift card with the purchase of a wireless adapter. This deal is valid online or in-store by printing off this coupon (pdf link). We know that this offer isn't the greatest deal ever, but for those of you who will be purchasing one soon why not get a free $10 gift card out of the deal. And while you're at it, watch Chuck and Cindi ... those kids are a riot!

If you don't want to be limited to Circuit City's free
$20 video game deal, then you may want to check out Best Buy's
Forza 2 offer. From now until June 26th, Best Buy is offering a free $10 gift card to anyone who purchases
Forza 2 in-store or online at BestBuy.com. To cash in on the deal, simply add
Forza 2 and the $10 gift card to your shopping cart or print off this coupon (PDF link) and take it into your local Best Buy.
A free gift card or a free game with a
Forza 2 purchase makes our heart sing. The only other thing that we can think of that would make our
Forza 2 experience better would be a price drop on that wireless racing wheel. Wait a second, that already
happened didn't it? All the better!

360 Fanboy reader, Nitin, sends us word that he received a coupon from Best Buy offering $10 off games and accessory purchases of $75 dollars or more. Now, it just so happens that
Guitar Hero II will set you back 90 clams when it
debuts on Arpil 3rd,
and it just so happens that the Best Buy coupon expires on April 4th. You see where we're going with this? Of course, there is one possible caveat. According to the fine print, the coupon doesn't include video game hardware. Now, we're pretty sure that refers to actual consoles, but don't blame us if the guy behind the counter says the guitar counts as hardware.
At any rate, you were going to pick up
GHII anyway, right? You might as well
try and save 10 bucks.
[Thanks, Nitin]

Today, and today only, Best Buy stores in the United States are running a video game clearance to get rid of some old video game stock. According to a post on IGN's forums, select games from numerous consoles including the Xbox 360 are clearance priced and ripe for the picking. We noticed that
Full Auto,
King Kong, and
Ridge Racer 6 are all listed for the rock bottom price of $1.99! Of course, the games are pretty crappy, but you can get some easy achievements or sell them on eBay. Other Xbox 360 titles are clearance priced at either $4.99 or $9.99 including
Oblivion CE which is only $9.99. But be sure to note that this is a clearance and the available games will vary dramatically from store to store. And for your convenience, the full list of Xbox 360 clearance games and their prices are listed after the break.

Best Buy is currently offering copies of
Lost Planet for the reasonable price of $49.99. However, if you're a stickler for a good bargain, and we imagine you are, you can knock off an additional $10 with a special coupon in the latest issue of GamePro. The coupon specifies that copies will not be accepted, but we've heard tales of folks printing off high resolution copies and redeeming them with no trouble -- not that we condone that kind of behavior. In fact, a little sleuthing after the "read" link might just point you to the aforementioned high resolution coupons. You might even find out a few strategies for getting your coupon accepted.
Lost Planet for $39.99? Not a bad deal if you ask us.

Looking through our Sunday paper, in between all the Windows Vista hoopla, we found a few cool offers for those of you who are going to purchase
Battlestations: Midway. You get a free $5 gift card at Best Buy this week when you purchase the game, and over at Circuit City they are offering a free poster. We're thinking a $5 gift card is a little better deal so we recommend shopping at Best Buy. Do you know of another retailer or website offering better goods with the purchase of
Battlestations: Midway?

It's rather simple, Americans have
Black Friday and Canadians have Boxing Day, so let the sales begin! If you live in Canada Best Buy is running some great deals on Xbox 360 goodies. The best example would have to be
Enchanted Arms for only $19.99, but
Gears of War is selling for $49.99, and the premium console bundle with
GRAW is $100 off. So, if you haven't already, brave the cold, trample fellow shoppers, wage war on those who hinder your path, and spend some more holiday cash on video games ... that is if you live in Canada, eh?

agree Viva Piñata is the cool kids
