Target offers gift cards with MotionPlus games, Guitar Hero Smash Hits

Meanwhile, those who purchase Guitar Hero Smash Hits (which isn't out until Tuesday) will receive a $5 gift card, no matter what platform they buy it for. However, we should also mention there are Smash Hits pre-order specials from several other retailers, so you should check to see if those are still available.

Target has been putting out some awesome deals the past couple of weeks.

hmmmm, I may be picking up Grand Slam Tennis sooner than I thought
uncle jesse @ Jun 12th 2009 4:04PM
I have it... It's not good.
How did EA manage to make golfing feel so incredibley amazing and tennis suck so much? Weird. Either way, for me at least, I hate Grand Slam Tennis and do not recommend anyone picking it up. If you want to be wowed with motion plus, pick up Tiger Woods.
Grand Slam? Pffffff, more like Grand Sham. Sorry. Forget that terrible joke, but know this:
Tiger Woods = good
Grand Slam = bad

I've heard wildly varying things about GST.
The thing of it apparently is that GST is *not* 1:1, but it still more intuitive than stuff like Wii Sports Tennis. Some people seem to be able to really sync with that fact, while it just makes the game unplayable for others

isn't the headline a little misleading? Wii-motion plus seems to have nothing to do with this promotion.

You mean other than the fact that Target is offering free gift cards when you purchase either two MotionPlus games from EA or when you purchase Guitar Hero: Smash Hits? I don't see how that's confusing.
Jay Voorhees @ Jun 12th 2009 3:59PM
They're trying to make your other purchase of a motion + almost free. I was under the impression GST was supposed to have it as a package already. Perhaps I was mistaken.

American Bundle- Tiger Woods
European Bundle- Grand Slam Tennis
Andrew Timson @ Jun 12th 2009 10:35PM
Pretty sure that Europe actually got _both_ bundles. Definitely just one in the US, though. ;)

Tiger Woods is $60 ? So if buy both, they're basically $45 a piece after your gift card which goes back to Target.
CJLopez @ Jun 12th 2009 4:39PM
Bundled with motion plus that is
So its pretty neat deal
gaph2000 @ Jun 12th 2009 4:07PM
WHAT!? I was planning on buying both of these games this weekend... but I live i Canada!
On the bright side, I live in Canada!
Jay Voorhees @ Jun 12th 2009 4:12PM
I blame your problems on....Canada.
Draco @ Jun 12th 2009 4:14PM
Canada is great and all, but taxes are damn high. Thinking of moving, something about paying over 50% of my income in taxes then another 12% on purchases I make and astronomical school and municipal taxes make me sad.
I bet you I only get to keep about 30 cents on the dollar.
Last I checked I could live in MN and keep about 60cents.
Nook @ Jun 12th 2009 6:04PM
Yeah, no Target here in Canada.
I pay 13% in sales taxes and have the government takes about 1/3 of my income....add in the high cost of living in the GTA.....yeah....deals are welcomed.
Not to even mention currency conversions and the raping that happens there.
Jay Voorhees @ Jun 12th 2009 4:14PM
Maybe they're assuming that europeans are more likely to purchase tennis software than golf. Of course if it were soccer then it would be blatantly obvious. We may not but fluent in the metric system, but atleast we're smart enough to know soccer isnt a real sport.
Jay Voorhees @ Jun 12th 2009 4:15PM
damnit i fail, i can't even reply to my own comment

Silly joystiq. This article does not belong on playstation.joystiq.
John @ Jun 12th 2009 4:48PM
Silly me. I should read better.
ThatPCgameryouhate @ Jun 12th 2009 5:03PM
It says the purchase of BOTH Tiger Woods and Grand Slam Tennis.
Not as great of a deal as I thought, 110$ worth of only 1 game I would actually play (Tiger Woods b/c of Motion Plus) does not seem to justify the 20$ bonus.
Oh well.
Adolph @ Jun 12th 2009 6:02PM
So basically you can buy a 2nd Wii motion plus for free ?
Sounds like a great deal to me.
juangrande386 @ Jun 12th 2009 7:12PM
Too late I already got Tiger Woods 2010 with M+ for $17 at Gamestop after trading in 4 PSP games that i have downloaded, nhl2k9 which i dont play, madden 08 since im gettin 2010, and metroid prime 3 since im getting the Trilogy in august. I also got an extra 20% per game since they went toward TW.
Masker @ Jun 12th 2009 10:32PM
Cheap ass gamer had the ad since monday or tuesday.
Hint: You get a free $20 gift card when you buy Ghostbusters or Guitar Hero: Smash Hits at TOYS R US.
Better deal than Target.
