A Guy Walks Into a Target

So, a guy walks into a Target.  Why would anyone do such a thing, you might ask?  Well, they are currently having a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all video games (until Sunday November 15, 2015).

This guy figures "what the heck" it is Friday the 13th (awesome).  He says he will get the deal if he can find a third title (though he could probably just add a third title and return it - but that would involve talking to people, yuck).  He thinks, i wish i wouldn't have bought Forza 6 already. Unfortunately, the Target website "inventory tracker" wasn't working so he couldn't tell what was in stock before going.  He found Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider, but another $60 title was not appealing (never mind their crap selection of games).  Sure they had Halo 5, but Halo 5 isn't worth $40 as a single player title.  

So now he will have to wait to see if he can get a decent deal on Black Friday (for newer games probably not), though Best Buy and/or Amazon.com will likely have a buy 2 get 1 free promotion in the not too distant future.

As an aside, the Target website kind of sucks.  They changed the weekly ad format to make it much worse, now you can't even zoom in on the small text in the ad (and the links are frequently wrong).
