The accessory ads were short and sweet, with a few great deals tucked in, but mainly just a few bucks off here and there. Two of the best deals are for the Wii, with the Wii Sports set 420 off and the Wii Racing Wheel $7 off, both at Circuit City. Target and Toys R Us have a couple of great $20 off deals on the Extreme Video Rocker ($32) and the PS2 Wireless Rock Guitar ($19.99) respectively. Otherwise, the ads are simply light on accessories, unless you get them thrown in with the console of handheld. Check out the Video Game Accessory deals below

Overall, the ads we have seen so far are a bit uninspiring, with just a handful of great deals on Video Game related items. There is a good chance that unannounced deals will be the norm, as Black Friday is a very cut-throat for pricing . Retailers have used many tricks in the past try to prevent their ads from showing up online early, but it just seemed too easy this year. Also, the Wal-Mart ad and several major online retailers (Fry’s, Sam’s, Amazon and NewEgg) haven’t tipped their hand yet. Regardless, the best deals related to gaming will probably come from the Audio and Video side, with great deals on Televisions and Surround Systems.
