If you are the sort that waits until the weekend before Christmas to go shopping, it’s that time. That means you finally have to get off your butt and stop procrastinating. The good news is that Target has an insanely good toy sale going on right now where you can get up to 50% off some toys, and have them shipped right to your door or ready for pickup at your local store. Pretty much everything in the toy aisle is on sale including toys for all ages and sexes.

Target is going crazy for Nintendo. The company has started giving more than 650 stores across the country a Mario Kart-themed makeover. This is all to promote the launch of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch on April 28th. This theme will include things like Mario-themed bollards outside the store, a countdown timer sound when you cross the start line at the entrance, and shopping carts decorated to look like karts. Better stock upon shells and banana peels so you can climb in that cart and wage war inside of a Target near you.

I go into Target every now and again when I am in a hurry, don’t mind spending a few extra bucks, and don’t want to stand in the line at Walmart. If you’ve ever noticed, Target locations always have those big red balls out front that are mostly just things for kids to climb on. I assume they are really meant to give you a place to hide from that 80-year-old lady who gets confused between the gas and brake, if you don’t want to get squished.

Somebody at Target seems to have jumped the gun just a little bit. Apparently, they’ve hung this banner in the electronics department of one of their Orlando, Florida locations stating that Grand Theft Auto IV is available now.

The gimmicky USB device du Jour is this flash memory drive that looks like a poker chip. The drive itself isn’t anything fancy, but the fact that it slides into the chip-shaped container for storage makes it a little more fun. The Memorex Poker Chip Flash Drive won’t win any awards for storage capacity, weighing in at modest 1GB, but it’s a fun gift for the poker addict in your life.

From the looks of this post up on Digg, a certain bullseye-wearing big box retailer has accidentally let loose the new Xbox 360 Elite model a couple of weeks early. The new model is slated for release on April 29th, but at least one branch of Target (in Chico, California) has sold this one to a lucky buyer.
