2(ish) Shopping days 'til Christmas: Christmas Eve deals

Right, so depending on what part of the world you're in when you read this, you have between one and two days left to shop.

But you're not SOL yet.

Check out at least Circuit City, Fry's Electronics, and CompUSA. As national chains, most of these places are doing some version of "2 for $30" of all titles "$19.99 or less."

Your best bet for some unique titles is at the latter two chains, because they seem to be a little more aggressive about what gets marked down to $19.99 -- and it's not just PS2 Greatest Hits or Xbox Platinum hits. But Circuit City tends to have the biggest selection.

With Circuit City, check out their outlet section of their website, enter your zip code, and see if you can order it online and pick it up within 24 minutes at a local store on Christmas Eve. Check out local Circuit City stores to see what location-specific "Red Dot Clearance" items they have. For example, a lot of them have the Xbox Live accessory kit from ALS for $1.99 to $4.99 (rather than $20).

Going back to Fry's Electronics -- at least in Austin, they're down to only three of the Spherex Xbox 5.1 systems I told you about. Either it's coincidence, or I'm very, very proud of all of you. And a little drunk on my powers of persuasion.

Now go. Shop. Show the Powers that Be a slumping videa game retail season doesn't mean there aren't hard-core procrastinating gamer shoppers still out there.
