Home Run For Video Games (SNE)(MSFT)

Video games had a great Febuary.

MarketWatch writes "Sales of game software in North America reached nearly $669 million for the month, up 47% from the same period last year, according to data released by the NPD Group."

The Nintendo Wii stayed out in front with 423,000 units sold. That was followed by the Sony (NYSE: SE) Playstation 3 with 280,000 and the Microsoft (NASDAQ MSFT) Xbox 360 at 254,600. Microsoft said it is low on units to sell.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today.  Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.

Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
