    Target: Nintendo DS Lite On Sale With No Discount

    Reader Colin writes us to share an email he sent to Target about their practice of marking items as "Sale"... with no actual discount. Colin writes to Target:
    I'm currently in the process of shopping for a Nintendo DS, and have been keeping out for any kind of deals on the item before I buy it. Today I was in the Turnersville Target, and I noticed a big red SALE tag on the DSes. However, the price was still the usual $129.99.
