Xbox 360 Pro Hits $299 at Target

The Xbox 360 price drop has pretty much gone official, with Target offering an in-store price of $299.99. The only thing weird about this is that it's not the rumored 60GB version that we thought was coming, so it's possible that Target is just clearing out old inventory for the new SKU? We won't know anything for certain until someone from Microsoft gets up on stage and says it. Or until they put out a press release. [Target]

Rumor Dealzmodo: $299 Xbox 360 with $25 Gift Card

The worst-kept secret in the video game industry has to be Microsoft's upcoming $299 Xbox 360 Pro (surely, only because Microsoft wants it that way). Now a Target ad seems to have leaked revealing an even better deal. Starting this Sunday when the cheaper 360 goes on sale, they'll give you a $25 gift card with purchase. That essentially brings the 360 down to $275...which is so much more justifiable than that $350 pricepoint, no? [Xbox360Fanboy]

Laser Target Alarm Clock: There is No Way I'm Doing This in The Morning

The Gun Operated Alarm Clock was a good conceptual design, but the Laser Target Alarm Clock has two things that its predecessor lacks. First off, it is vastly more challenging (and therefore annoying). Second (and most importantly) this device is an actual product. As you might have guessed, in order to turn the alarm clock off in the morning, you have to hit the bullseye with the included handheld laser gun. F that S. [Product Page via TFTS]

Rumor Smashed: Target NOT Going Totally Blu-ray Exclusive

Fire out of the Philips press conference was that Target was going Blu-ray exclusive, a rumor that had already made the rounds before and was debunked. We just talked to the Blu-ray guys and to Philips—it's actually the same news as before. Target is still selling HD DVD discs and the Xbox 360's HD DVD player. God, it would've been the last thing HD DVD needed.

Target Selling Pre-Owned iPods, TVs and Game Consoles for Sorta Cheaper

After realizing lots of customers bring back perfectly good electronics, Target's deciding to resell the unloved-but-working wares at (slightly) discounted rates online. Up for sale in the pre-owned aisle are TVs, iPods and game consoles that have been checked and refurbed by a third party. Only problem is that so far it looks like Black Friday mania's a better bet: Consoles are vapor, most HDTVs are cut less than $100, and none of the iPod deals are stellar. But! You can get a 3rd-gen iPod or iPod mini for $140, which is actually pretty cool for nostalgia, if not a killer deal. [Target via Yahoo!/Reuters, Flickr]

Oh, and they've apparently got a pukey red and white color scheme, to go with the whole Target thing. [Kotaku]

Girl Finds Rocks Where Her iPod Should Be, TWICE

For her birthday, a 14-year-old girl from Texas wanted an iPod. So her mother took her to the Target in Fort Worth to buy her one. After surely promising to not load the device with "devil music," the family purchased the new $350 iPod. And then they opened it. And it was full of rocks. (And not pretty rocks like we used to make this article look better.) More »

Rumor Smashed: Blue Zune Not Blue Zune

False alarm. The Blue Zune we showed you in the Target ad isn't actually a Blue Zune, it's a Black Zune that just looks blue thanks to the crappy image. The black one does actually look slightly blue when you look at it (the doubleshot is blue), so we can see where the confusion comes from. But still, the image was REALLY blue. [Zune Online]

Target Ad Scoops Blue Zune Release

Next week's Target ad shows both a $199 price cut in the Microsoft Zune player—something we've covered before—and a brand new Blue Zune. We haven't seen this anywhere yet, but it looks like it's blue with light blue doubleshotting, and will be the same $199 that all the other Zunes are priced at. If Target's going to start getting Zune scoops, we're going to have to start teaming up with Martha Stewart and selling crocheted underpants. [Electronista]

Sony Aims for the Masses With Target-Exclusive Bravias

Even if Target isn't so cozy with Sony as to sell Blu-Ray as its exclusive HD player, they're buddy-buddy enough that Target's selling some exclusive Bravia LCD sets through Target.com. Both are 720p, with the 26-inch model going for $800, and the 32-inch for $900; they'll also be available in-store next month. More »

Next Gen SlapFest: HD DVD Responds to Blu-ray's Target Exclusivity

Who'd have thought the next-gen format spin war would be full of half truths and twisted facts? Oh, right, EVERYONE. It all started from Sony's statement that Target stores will feature Sony's BDP-S300 as the exclusive high-definition player, and AP's article picking up on it saying Target was exclusively featuring Sony's player in lieu of selling any HD DVD players. That's exactly not true. Here's what Sony really said: More »

Big-Box Retailers: Why We Need iTunes and Other Online Stores

An article in the Wall Street Journal today drives home why record labels need to hop on the DRM-free digital music train to get their wares out there. Wal-Mart, Best Buy and their ilk are now responsible for at least 65 percent of all music sales—including online stores—and they're reducing the amount of music they carry as CD sales drop. Do we really want Wal-Mart dictating what music people listen to? More »
