Let's take a gander at some of this weekend's deals:

Hardware
• Granted, this is a highly specific need, but the Cordless Mediaboard for PS3 is $57.99 at Amazon, which is $22 off the normal price and a much better solution - ergonomically speaking anyway - for those who surf, hang out in Home, or do anything requiring a lot of text entry on their console. [Amazon]

• I know you can trade rosters via EA Locker, but some services still do it the old memory-card-and-mail-way. Amazon has a deal on 360 memory units (512 MB) just in time for the release of NCAA 10. They're $25.99, a savings of $14. [Amazon]

• Since the point is to get the big peripheral bundle, I classify this as hardware. GameStop's offering $100 off to clear its stock of Guitar Hero: World Tour (all versions.) Wii, 360 and PS3 are $89.99; PS2 is $79.99. See GameStop's weekly ad. [GameStop]

• If you're a PC gamer and you haven't yet tried Fallout 3, this weekend removes your excuses. Steam's offering it at half off, $25. It's a bargain when you consider what you spend each month on online porn, come on! OK, poor choice of words. [Steam]
