Target is getting more aggressive on it's video game pre-orders and offering a great deal on its in-store video game reservations. Today Target announced that it would start a new video game reservation program, to begin this weekend, Sunday, April 19th. Upcoming video game releases can be reserved when you purchase a $1 Target Reservation Card, which features a design based on the game. Although it will cost you $1 to purchase the reservation card, upon returning to purchase the game you will get a $5 Target GiftCard. It's good towards a future purchase. So it comes out to a $4 savings.
Details from Target:
"Beginning April 19, Target guests can purchase a collectible reservation card, only in stores, for $1. When they bring the reservation card back within seven days of release to purchase their game, they will receive a $5 Target GiftCard to put toward a future purchase."

WTMG's Todd Eggleston: "Ghostbusters The Video Game is nostalgia done right, and puts you right back in 1984. It isn’t a masterpiece of a game, and neither was the movie, but it reminds us again that it is ok for entertainment to just be entertaining. It is a game that deserves to be remastered and remembered. And 35 years later, it also serves to remind us that a remaster doesn’t always need to be Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott. Sometimes, Ray Parker Jr. is exactly who you need to call."
