KMart Responds in Kind, Almost

If Big W can have a mega toy sale starting July 3, KMart can rustle something together as well right? Well maybe on the surface… here’s a few deals, though none quite as daring as the ultra-cheap 360 console. A nice price on the Pro though if you want that Hard Drive and component cables included.

XBOX360
Pro Console $449 – hot!

Wii
Super Smash Bros Brawl $77

…and basically, slightly more expensive prices on everything else. If you’re blowing your money on games later this week, stick to Big W. See the screen shots for the full details.

Target - Smash Bros now $79.95?

This is odd, if you pre-ordered Super Smash Bros Brawl for Wii last week, when they were advertising it for $89.95 with a free strategy guide, you’ll be jubilant/furious that they’re now saying the introductory price is now $79.95. It’ll be going up after that so buy on launch week. (But lastly, remember Big W is still saying lowest price guaranteed!)

Wii
Super Smash Bros Brawl $79.95

DS
Guitar Hero On Tour $74.95

Oh, and 20% off al Pro Gamer Accessories, I shudder to think what plastic pieces of crap they’re speaking about.

K-Mart Boom Blox $64.95

So here at COG we’re on a bit of a crusade to get Boom Blox more publicity (because Spielberg needs it). There’s three pages of gaming stuff in the latest K-Mart catalogue and yet it’s tucked away down in the corner.

Also, there’s a sad lack of otherwise genuine deals.

Wii
Boom Blox $64.95
Wii Fit $119
Battle of the Bands $59.95 – good price also!

PS3
Haze $87 (it’s new, but apparently maybe not good, let us know!)

Casual games and the PS2 just will not go away, check it all out in the thumbnails below.

Target - Wii Bonanza, Boom Blox $64.95!

Besides the unnecessary price jacking of bundles in their console deals, a good price is hidden in the mix. Yet to see the game advertised elsewhere but all the buzz around the Wii at the moment is Spielberg/EA’s Boom Blox. Forget Wii Fit, it’s just another piece of plastic to reside in the closet in 3 months. Get Boom Blox (it’s games like this which make me wonder if I shouldn’t have traded my Wii for a 360… oh well)

Oh, and there’s that mega-delayed Smash Bros game I’ve heard a little about.

Wii
Boom Blox $64.95
Super Smash Bros Brawl $89.95 (with strategy guide if you pre-order)

For everything else, view the catalogue!

KMart has 20% off all games again

I’ve just recived the biggest wad of junk mail ever. I don’t know how many trees died to bring me this today, I wish they could’ve gone to a more thrifty cause however, as many of them lack quality deals.

One that stands out is this, that from Thursday 15th May KMart’s got 20% off all games (not consoles or accessories), so get in there for some cheap(ish) games.

Big W - More Mothers Day Stuff

Your mum plays games? Sweet. That’s the line these catalogues are taking. However they don’t seem think she likes many new games, or good ones. All PS2 and Nintendo stuff here.

Wii
Wii Fit $124 – best price we’ve seen so far!

Catalogue coming when it’s online.

KMart Mothers Day

For the gang banger in every mum, get her GTA IV. I really don’t understand the placement of games in this catalogue. And what message are you telling her if you buy Wii Fit? Awkward.

PS2, Nintendo DS and PC
20% off all games.

PS3 & XBOX360
GTA IV for $93 – Not the cheapest price around, but not bad.

XBOX360
GTA IV and Pro Console bundle for $578 – ~~Not bad at all. This game is a “console seller” so if you’ve been holding out, that’s not a bad price to get it all at.~~

Wii
Mario Kart Wii $77
There’s some other stuff there, but it’s either rubbish or not cheap.

PS3
Time Crisis 4 with Gun for $114

Target Catalogue

New Target Catalogue, not a whole lot special going on. I thought KMart’s price on Mario Kart Wii was really good, but it seems like the standard launch price at most places. Highlights listed below, full catalogue attached.

Wii
Mario Kart Wii with flappy wheel $79.95

XBOX360
ARCADE CONSOLE for $359

They’ve also got GTA IV listed for $99 on both consoles, which is the equal cheapest advertised price going around, but maybe not the cheapest full stop.
