Sega shows some Christmas spirit, Wii style

Your IT - Entertainment

Ho ho ho, if you prefer your Christmas mascots to be blue, spiky and a hedgehog, rather than red, jolly and a fat man, Sega may have just the deal for you.

If you're anything like me, getting off the couch at any given time is a chore. This chore is magnified 10 fold when the day's objective is Christmas shopping. The shopping complex carparks are always full, the children are always out of control and the resident Santas charge way too much for a photo. Well, grumpy (old school) gamers, your prayers have been answered!

If Sega would have their way, your shopping trip would not involve EB Games or GAME but instead the Wii Virtual Console store. Sega have lowered the price on a special few Mega Drive games just in time for some last minute gift shopping for those of you who are too lazy to venture outside (or simply forgotten your loved ones). The deal starts tomorrow, Christmas Eve, and ends on the 6th of January in the new year.

The titles are now 500 points each, down from 800, and include:

- Altered Beast
- Golden Axe
- Gunstar Heroes
- Puyo Puyo 2: Tsuu
- Shining Force
- Sonic the Hedgehog
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
- Sonic the Hedgehog 3
- Streets of Rage 2
- ToeJam & Earl

2000 Nintendo points retails for AU$35, so why not let go of your inner Scrooge and have a bit of fun this Christmas?
