The PS3 will drop to retail on Nov. 17. Wii will be released on Nov. 19. Best Buy stores are offering PS3 and Wii launch guides that include money-saving coupons for game titles. Best Buy's Wii launch guide includes $5 off coupons on select titles like Activision's Call of Duty 3, and a free Wii Zelda Strategy Guide when customers purchase The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Excite Truck for Wii on the same receipt. The retailer's PS3 launch guide includes $5 off coupons for game titles Resistance: Fall of Man, Activision's Tony Hawk's Project 8, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Target stores are offering an in-store pamphlet that includes a coupon for a free $20 gift card with the purchase of three Wii game titles good on launch day only. It also advertises 10% off a purchase if consumers open a Target REDcard account. Finally, Wal-Mart stores will offer a 50% discount off the Blu-ray version of X-Men: The Last Stand when consumers purchase a PS3 in stores.
