Target is offering deep discounts on games this week to encourage use of its in-store pickup feature. The 30% off is a sweet deal if you can make it out to a store, but if you’re not near a Target or just don’t feel like making the trip, Amazon is price-matching many of the same deals. And since it’s Amazon, you don’t need to go anywhere. The result is some great deals on games for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
To take advantage of the Target deals, you’ll need to order online and select "Order Pickup" at checkout. The feature lets you swing by a Target store and grab your purchase at the customer service area. If you don’t mind waiting a few days, though, you can get many of the same deals through Amazon.
There is one wrinkle, though. Amazon’s sale price doesn’t reflect the discount price, but many of the games have coupons and other promotions that take off the difference and match Target’s sale prices. Some promotional prices are automatically applied at checkout, while others require you to click on a coupon to apply it. While you’re at Amazon, you can also get a Fat Black Chocobo for Final Fantasy 14 with any purchase over $20.
The sale includes Devil May Cry 5 for $35, Kingdom Hearts 3 for $24.50, and Metro Exodus for $35, among many others. Which store you use depends on whether you want to get the games now or later, because the prices will be the same.
Check out the full list of eligible games at Target and Amazon should be matching them. If you find any deals that aren’t matched, you may be able to score the deal by contacting Amazon customer service. The Target promotion ends after June 29, which presumably means Amazon will stop then too. But more discounts are coming soon, since Amazon has announced the dates for its annual Prime Day promotion.
