Target to Run "Buy Two, Get One Free" Sale on PS4 Launch Games

Planning to pick up a bunch of PS4 games at launch? You may want to check this out.

Target wants you to buy your PS4 games from them. According to an upcoming circular, the retailer will run a "buy two, get one free" sale on a select number of PS4 launch title in their stores during the week leading up to the console's launch next month.

The ad, which popped up on Reddit [http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/1phdc0/launch_games_are_going_to_be_buy_2_get_one_free/] yesterday, says the sale will only apply to certain games, including Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Knack, Battlefield 4, Madden 25, NBA 2K14 and FIFA 14. The ad does say that other PS4 games will be eligible for the deal, and does not specify which ones, if any, are exempt.

The deal is only available for in-store purchases: It does not apply to pre-orders, games bought online or "rain-check" orders. Also, the deal only applies to customers buying three different games: That means no pooling cash with friends to get three copies of Killzone or Battlefield on the cheap. Similar to many deals of this sort, the least expensive game will be the one consumers get for free.

Target's sale runs from November 10 to November 16. The Playstation 4 launches in North America Friday, November 15th.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me ^^

That leaves you with what, every single PS4 game available at launch? Only half joking here. Aside from the seven listed games, are there any other games you'll be able to play on the PS4/XBone on launch day?

(I'm trying to justify my decision not to spend $400 on a piece of equipment that will no doubt get cheaper before it has enough of a library to be worth buying. I'm not really interested in buying games at (effectively) $140 each)

...I'm suddenly very happy I no longer work at Target.

If only there were 3 I wanted now, already have killzone and a PS4 controller sitting on my shelf... so that leaves Knack... aaaaaand, nothing, playing BF4 on the PC and already picked up AC:BF CE for the 360... D'OH!

That's a good deal. Hopefully they run a similar sale for the Xbox One. I was planning on just getting everything digital, but if they're gonna give a game for free, then why the hell not?
