Looks like Blockbuster is hitching it's wagon to the games industry again, and who can blame them? This time around they've recommitted to the gaming masses by announcing that they'll be carrying Nintendo DS games for rent by the end of the year nationwide. This news comes shortly after the announcement that game releases will now appear on the new release wall as of this past Tuesday.

They've also announced that they'll be offering a special PS3 bundle that will include Transformers: The Game, a blu-ray copy of Spider-Man 3, HDMI cable, a blu-ray remote and and a card that'll let you rent 12 games in 12 weeks. It'll be $499.99 -- not that bad for all that stuff (even if the Transformers games did suck).

Hit the jump for the full press release;

Now you can purchase the latest game releases, as well as game systems and supporting accessories, including Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 your local BLOCKBUSTER store.

BLOCKBUSTER also plans on increasing the variety of game titles available to rent, and will be introducing Nintendo DS game rentals at BLOCKBUSTER locations nation-wide. You will also be able to purchase Nintendo DS games, hardware and accessories later this year.

The best news (if you don't have a PS3 yet) is that BLOCKBUSTER will be offering a PS3 game and movie bundle for $499.99, at select locations. This exclusive offer includes:

* A 40 GB Sony PS3 Game Console

* PS3/Blu-Ray Remote

* HDMI Cable

* "Spiderman 3" on Blu-Ray disc

* "Transformers" PS3 Game

* BLOCKBUSTER 12-week PS3/Blu-Ray rental card (one free rental a week for 12 consecutive weeks)
