After closing 150 of its stores nationwide and filing for bankruptcy, Circuit City is still working on unloading the shelves with stock they’ve probably had for months, if not longer.

Circuit City is now offering a 20 GB Hard Drive and Xbox 360 Controller bundle for only $39.99. A 20 GB Hard Drive and 360 controller for only $40, now that’s a deal seeing that a 360 controller cost around $50 alone. Both items are refurbished, but at dirt cheap prices, it’s still a great deal.

While it might be sad for the top dogs at Circuit City, its great news for us, especially for those who had just purchased an Xbox 360 Arcade version or 360 owners looking for more hard drive space or just wanting an extra controller.

Earlier this week it was announced that 155 Circuit City stores were being shut down due to credit concerns and financial problems from the electronics retailer.

Well, according to Kotaku, the 155 closing stores are placing discount tags on pretty much everything, including video games. Here are the discounts for today:

• Systems (360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP) and their respective games – 5% off
• All game accessories (controllers, batteries, cases, Xbox Live memberships, etc) – 10% off
• “Social” games (aka Rockband and Guitar Hero) – 10% off
• PC Games – 10% off
• Strategy guides and cheat books – 20% off

If you’ve been paying close attention, you’ve probably noticed that I haven’t posted here in a while. (You haven’t? Ah well.) But put down your pitchforks, because I have a legitimate excuse, my friends. I have been spending time digging through couches, panhandling the Texas freeways, and even turning tricks outside of the local 7-11 so that I can afford the Rock Band 2 bundle. That $9999 price tag is too hefty for me to just pull it out of my wallet and be on my way. Confused? You should be. Read more…

While this may not exactly be video game, or movie, or even gadget news, it does involve many individuals who have made a career out of selling those exact items to consumers across the country.
