Old Navy is selling games?! Apparently… It’s even rumored they’ll give you a free guitar controller with the purchase of Rock Band 2. Better still, buy $20 worth of flips flops and cargo shorts and get the recently released LEGO Rock Band FREE. They don’t specify on which console, but at least those loose fitting jeans aren’t exclusive.

Either way, check with your local store and good luck! And be sure to check Amazon, Newegg and Game Quest Direct as they’re sure to drop a couple doozies.
