As Kotaku reported, Wal-Mart has announced that if you buy a $199 Nintendo Wii Bundle from their US stores next week, you’ll get a $50 Wal-Mart Gift Card for your patronage. Convenient, seeing as that about covers the cost of a new game for your new system! And just to tip you towards using the gift card on another game, Wal-Mart has also stepped up and knocked $10 off the prices of several top games until December 24th.

Here’s the low-down on the bargains, which aren’t just exclusive to the Wii:

Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics (Wii) - now $40

Lego Rock Band (Wii) - now $40

MySims: Agents (Wii) - now $40

Tekken 6 (Xbox 360 and PS3) - now $50

Rock Band: Beatles (Wii) - now $40

Madden 2010 (Xbox 360 and PS3) - now $50

WWE 2010 (Xbox 360) - now $50, WWE 2010 (Wii) - now $40

Batman Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) - now $50

Dragon Age: Origins (PS3) - now $50

Left 4 Dead 2 (Xbox 360) - now $50

Halo 3: ODST (Xbox 360) - now $50

Uncharted 2 (PS3) - now $50

With Left 4 Dead 2, Halo 3: ODST, Uncharted 2 and Rock Band: Beatles in there, it’s a pretty solid list of hitters. The deal starts next week and runs until Christmas Eve, so you’ve got time to do your shopping - unless, of course, they sell out.
