Xbox: Chronicles of Riddick $31 and FSW too

[s0undwav3]

This is what you do:

Get the CompUSA add that shows for this week (until Saturday) that Chronicles of Riddick is listed at $39.99 (FSWis also $39.99)

Go
Go to Best Buy, bring in the add, and first get a $5 gamer gift card. Put some money on it and a register. Then go and get the game (at $49.99) and go to Customer Service, and do the 110% price match, should bring it to $36.
Then give him the gamer gift card, and viola, you get the game for $31 without tax.

Great deal, I just did it. Since my CompUSA and Best Buy are very close (less than .5 miles), it was very easy for me.

FSW is also 39.99 at CompUSA too.

Yea, my bad, I forgot it was FSW and not Pandora, I edited it.

Before anyone else says it....I will mention that it's extremely YMMV that they let you use the GGC after a pricematch.

Beat me to it.

Yeah, I tried to get a price match on FSW at BB from the CompUSA ad, but it was out of stock :( So I used my $5 rewards certificate + a 10% off coupon.

The stupid Best Buy that I go to don't give the 110% unless you purchased the item already. They will just match the price. I don't know about the $5 coupon on top of the price match. Bunch of stupid employees there that I don't both trying.

^^ Get the manager then. It's company policy. They can't do **** about it

My Best Buy won't do GGC after price matching. Half the time they only do local price matching, which sucks because there isn't a Circuit City or CompUSA or anything within 50 miles of my Best Buy.

[jshorr]

The pricematching of in-stock at local competitors is. The GGC on top of that isn't. It says on it not to be combined with any other coupons or offers...and a price match counts as an offer. Once you've pricematched I don't believe the $5 coupon will come off automatically, I've seen an employee try for me....they'd have to override the price and most employees won't do that.

I just got done doing this today. Great deal, but I didn't get 110% pricematch, I just got 100%. They also let me use the gift card with coupon. All the guy did was pricematch the game in the computer, and then put in the $5.00 off as well. No extra work, no hassle, no nothing. My Mom also tried to do the same thing with Harry Potter game for GBA to give to my niece, but they only pricematched it and said they couldn't combine it with the $5.00 off. That was only because she had a different cashier and the guy I had seemed like he didn't know much of what he was doing, thankfully I took advantage of him. I suggest everyone at least try this, because you still get a $5.00 off coupon in the end.

Next week I'm going to try to pricematch the Hobbit at BB for $5.00, then try to use the $5.00 off coupon! I'm thinking it won't work though, given the fact I will be getting it for free basically.

110% price match makes it $39-$5 =$34 ($50-$40)x110%=$11

I called for a manager, she was more interested in telling me that the employee was correct about their policy of not giving the 110% unless you had already purchased the item, than helping me. I told her there was no reason for me to come there instead of CompUsa across the street, unless they intended to give me 110%(they say the item has to be in stock at the other store anyway). Of course, logic was wasted on her. so I told her that if she wanted to play games I could play games too. I told her to ring it up for full price. then she said that she would give me the 110%, but repeated that her employee was right. I rarely go there because of what happened. I go to CC because they dont play games. I only go to BB if I have a great coupon, or a very inexpensive unadvertised item
