Before anyone asks, Daredevil is in EVERY version of the game, Target just probably gives you a code to get him early.

thanx speedy!

Yeah, they love to claim to have exclusive stuff, dont they?

Good to know Roufuss!

Thanks..... I'll pass it along in DVDland if I'm asked and am able.

[RiCeBo1]

Very early! Thanks Speedy!

[62t]

you can probably get the code online too.

[kofijamal]

Thanks soooo much. This is a great service for us, you have my thanks. And my wife thanks you too, saves me money and she doesn't have worry me spending a ton of dough. :)

Always glad to help my friend!

LOL , Target's marketing dept. red fetish .

[GunstarRed]

Is that Sims 2 Pets (PC) for $14.99 correct?!?!? I was going to buy it this week for $19.99 after free $10 GC at Best Buy, but waiting a week for $14.99 would be even better! Seems strange that it would be that much lower just a week later.

Circuit City has been doing this with Sims expansions for awhile, marking them at 50% of MSRP shortly after they come out.

I was also going to do the gift card thing at Best Buy but wow... think I'll just go this route. Too bad the new Warhammer or Age of Empires expansion didn't go on sale =/

I might get it at Best Buy and then PM it to $14.99 the next week, but I'm not sure how YMMV that will be.

And wait, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is $9.99 for the PC? Wow, that's insane.

[Jedi1979]

wow...X-men free with Ultimate Alliance?...that sounds like a nice deal for those that dont have it yet

[Roufuss]

wow...X-men free with Ultimate Alliance?...that sounds like a nice deal for those that dont have it yet

Oh snap, I didn't even see that. I'll just get it there for the 360 and sell X-men 3 on Ebay, I have no interest in that game and it'll take the cost of Ultimate Alliance down.

It is correct.

Regularly $29.99

[GunstarRed]

Thanks for the info on Sims 2 Pets. I was wondering if Best Buy would do the price adjustment on it next week if I purchased it this week to get the free $10 gift card and tried to use their 30-day price match guarantee. Sometimes when they have those free offers and you try to return or adjust, they give you a hard time or won't do it since it was a special offer.

[anomynous]

meh nothing for me. thanks speedy

It's worth a shot, either way... the worst they could is subtract the $10 gift card from the MSRP price and they would still owe you $5.

[RollingSkull]

comes w/10 free Bully soundtrack downloads

Yeah. Gamingforce.com handles that end of things for me just fine. I'll be on this when the price drops. :P

[groundskeeper]

you can probably get the code online too.

Yeah, check Gamefaqs.com about 10 minutes after release....

[whitereflection]

Damn, I was hoping for the first two Guild Wars to drop in price in celebration of the new one releasing.

Thanks for the post, Speedy.

[seanr1221]

Anyone have any clue what the receipt will look like at CC with the Marvel/X-men deal?

[Roufuss]

Anyone have any clue what the receipt will look like at CC with the Marvel/X-men deal?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance will probably be $59.98, X-Men will be a penny... that's how they've done all the giveaway's in the past.

Just dump X-Men on Ebay, you'll get at least $20 for it.

[allstargamer2k2]

anyone noticed it says that circuitcity will give u a free wireless controller for free with any 360 game. thats pretty damn good!

[seanr1221]

Oh shit, so if you get Marvel UA you will get a free X-Men AND wireless controller? Hot damn Im there!
*EDIT* it says system not game... :(

[Stry-ker]

GRAW for pc worth $9?

[Roufuss]

anyone noticed it says that circuitcity will give u a free wireless controller for free with any 360 game. thats pretty damn good!

The ad says game SYSTEM.

[Ma12kez]

Just to clarify if I read this right:

****Free X-Men: The Offical Game with purchase of Marvel Ultimate Alliance for XBOX 360 / PS2 game systems // While Supplies last // Minimum 3 per store // A $29.99 - $39.99 valueThat means we can pick up the 360 version of X-Men: The Official Game (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/X-Men-The-Official-Game-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/149189/catOid/-13223/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)?

[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm going to see if I can Pm Battlefield to BB and then use the $10 coupon.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Just to clarify if I read this right:

That means we can pick up the 360 version of X-Men: The Official Game (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/X-Men-The-Official-Game-Xbox-360/sem/rpsm/oid/149189/catOid/-13223/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do)?

Nah, I think PS2. That's why it says, "PS2 Game System."

[Ma12kez]

Nah, I think PS2. That's why it says, "PS2 Game System."I see. But why does it say it's a $29.99-$39.99 value? Wouldn't that hint that you would be able to pick up the 360 version, since it is actually $39.99?

[Roufuss]

Nah, I think PS2. That's why it says, "PS2 Game System."

It also says Xbox 360... look carefully:


Marvel Ultimate Alliance >>>> XBOX 360 >>>> $59.99 **** Available 10/25/06 - 5 PM

Marvel Ultimate Alliance >>>> PS2 >>>> $39.99 **** Available 10/25/06 - 5 PM

****Free X-Men: The Offical Game with purchase of Marvel Ultimate Alliance for XBOX 360 / PS2 game systems // While Supplies last // Minimum 3 per store // A $29.99 - $39.99 value


It just has a hyphen there, so it's XBOX 360 / PS2 Game Systems, and it's also why it says $29.99 - $39.99 value.

[SpyderGT]

wow...X-men free with Ultimate Alliance?...that sounds like a nice deal for those that dont have it yet
Yeah it does. Ultimate Alliance wasn't even on my radar, until now ;)

[LinkinPrime]

Guess I know where I'll be getting Ulimate Alliance. I'll trade in or sell X-Men since I already had it/beat it.

[espy605]

Before anyone asks, Daredevil is in EVERY version of the game, Target just probably gives you a code to get him early.

My favorite Catholic superhero!

[Run4Fun]

The ad says game SYSTEM.


Holy crap, I nearly flipped when I misinterpreted that too. That would have been some deal...

[speedy1961]

That's the way I read it / typed it.

If you buy Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the 360, you'll get a copy of the X-Men Game for the 360 free.


If you buy Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the PS2, you'll get a copy of the X-Men Game for the PS2 free.

[deadite76]

Yeah it does. Ultimate Alliance wasn't even on my radar, until now ;)

Same here!! Tahnxs Speedy!!

[DomLando]

Yeah it does. Ultimate Alliance wasn't even on my radar, until now ;)
Same here. Like Roufuss said you can dump it on ebay and get some cash for it. Nice!!

[Starbuccaneers]

GRAW for pc worth $9?

I think so, if you are going to play some multiplayer. PC's version(1st person) is totally different from xbox360(3rd person) and the AI is not exactly smart. Make sure your system can run the game though, you need a 512MB video card to have textures on high.

[Papageno]

Aargh, where is the killer CC $10 off sale for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade? I've been waiting for it, but maybe it'll never come, more's the pity.

[MrDemonicAngel]

is marvel all. really worth it? theres so much hype to it...idk...

[cisco49]

Nice. Thanks for the info about the sims. i'll get it this week from CC then pricematch it to themselves a week later.

[speedy1961]

Anyone here have any info on that PSP game called WTF?

I'm just curious..... It's NOT one of my weekly jokes.

I of course thought it meant What The Fuck?

[msuna]

What are the time cards you listed for $19 in the best buy ad???

Do you mean like an xbox live subscription

[shrike4242]

He means a subscription card, such as one for WoW or City Of Heroes/City Of Villians.

[whitereflection]

No, those are for online PC games that require a monthly subscription, like World of Warcraft ($15/month). A time card (retail price of $30) is good for two months, so two time cards would be $50 with this promotion.

Best Buy[/B]

GAMERS: Get 1600 Live Points for only $4.99 instantly when you buy ANY XBOX 360 Game // Must be purchased on the same receipt
XBOX 360 Games:

Major League Baseball 2K6 >>>> $29.99
Phantasy Star Universe >>>> $59.99 Available 10/25/06
Perfect Dark: ZERO >>>> $29.99
Need For Speed: Most Wanted >>>> $29.99
Kameo >>>> $29.99
PGR >>>> $29.99

Interesting Live Points deal at Best Buy. I could see picking up one of the $30 games. $25 after GGC, plus $5 for the Xbox Live Points. So, you get the game and 1600 points for $30 plus tax.

Not bad, but not real great, either. You can get the Live Points for $15 after GGC at any time. And if the games are ever on sale for $20, you'll be able to get those for $15, too. So, you'd be paying $30 in that case, as well.

[Roufuss]

Return the game/keep points FTW? or would that be YMMV?

It should work... you're paying for two seperate items. It's like when Best Buy does 2 for $20 DVD's you can return one and get 1 DVD for $10 (when it usually says "DVD's purchased seperately are $14.99 each).

YMMV based on morality? I'm sure people will see this and start harping on you.

But really, it'll show up on your receipt as Kameo being $30 and the Live Points card being $4.99, so yea, I'm about 95% sure it would work.

Expect that it won't work to do GGC + Live points deal. Normally, any other promotion in the register at the same time a GGC is used makes the GGC not work, so they'll have to do a manual price adjustment, which means it'll need manager approval. Ends up in YMMV territory in that case.

But really, it'll show up on your receipt as Kameo being $30 and the Live Points card being $4.99, so yea, I'm about 95% sure it would work. If the 1600 Live Points are $19.99, I'm betting that with the example above, Kameo would be $14.99 and the Live Points would be $19.99. They'd deduct the "savings" from the game, not the points. Net cost is the $34.98 that it would be in the ad, though that would prevent you from returning the game and keeping the points.

They've done this in the past for the GC's with purchase, as well as the other freebies. For the X-Men 3 game w/purchase of Marvel Ultimate Alliance, I'd guess the same thing.

[Jedi1979]

nice...baseball will be mine and i have to pick up hitman soon as well to return to walmart (with receipt;) )

hmm, didnt think about the coupon not working...guess we will just have to wait and see

For the X-Men 3 game at CC, trust me, it'll show up a penny. During the b1g1 free sale at CC, the free game showed up as a penny, and a penny was taken off your main purchase. Every time I've gotten something free at CC this is how they've done it.

At Best Buy, for DVD sales where it's "Buy a new release for $14.99, get any of these 4 movies for $4.99" the prices are always actually as advertised on the receipt... hell, I even took back the $14.99 movie once because I changed my mind on it and I got to keep the $5 one (regularly $10 or something like that) and they gave me back my full $15.

I would be real surprised if their register went through the trouble of adjusting the prices like this, because it would be a hassle to try and return a game if you wanted to exchange it, plus people would bitch to high hell that "my receipt says my Live points aren't $4.99". Usually their register will choose the most simple option available and that's just taking $14.99 off the Live Points with the purchse of any 360 game.

I'm trusting in the fact that the Live points will show up at $4.99, but it'll be YMMV on the cashier since the deal will probably be listed on the receipt somewhere. I don't have the time or energy to try this out myself, plus I know too many people at the local BB so I don't even want to attempt it.

A GGC would work just fine IF the registers worked as I described and IF the GGC took the price off the 360 game and NOT the live points. I've done a GGC on games where you've gotten a free gift card just fine.

[shrike4242]

nice...baseball will be mine and i have to pick up hitman soon as well to return to walmart (with receipt;) )

hmm, didnt think about the coupon not working...guess we will just have to wait and see It's listed in the terms of the GGC, that it's not combinable with any other offer. Sale prices, which would be the "normal" price for the sale, that works with the GGC without issue, since it's not modifying the price in any way, it's the price listed in the computer. As soon as you add in another change to the price manually or add in some other auto-generated deal, like this one, the GGC doesn't work. This ends up with a manager on-hand, and it turns it into a YMMV situation if they approve it or not.

That's why I tend to use GGC's on items that are on-sale, since it ends up being painless across the board.

For the X-Men 3 game at CC, trust me, it'll show up a penny. During the b1g1 free sale at CC, the free game showed up as a penny, and a penny was taken off your main purchase. Every time I've gotten something free at CC this is how they've done it.

If it works, then great, otherwise, I won't be surprised.

[Roufuss]

That's a whole lot of IFs for me.

If it works, then great, otherwise, I won't be surprised.

Yea, it is. If only they had some 360 games on sale with this promotion would I actually bite, but it's not worth the effort for me right now.

But the Circuit City thing, no if's there, it's a huge flaw in the way they print out the receipts, and the CSR's at customer service are generally non caring. Me, personally, my X-Men 3 will be on Ebay the minute I get home to help lower the cost of Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

I mean, really, there is no other way they could put it on the receipt though, if they cut the cost in half with X-Men 3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance people would just be returning X-Men 3 to get $30 or so back. That game must have bombed big time for them to give away a $40 game.

It really all falls into the CSR's hands.

[speedy1961]

What are the time cards you listed for $19 in the best buy ad???

Do you mean like an xbox live subscription


GAMERS: Save $10 Instantly when you buy any 2 PC games ---- OR ---- any 2 time cards $19 & UP // Must be purchased on the same receipt


None are listed in the ad. It means that if you buy two time cards costing at least $19 each, you'll get a $10 discount of that purchase.

[speedy1961]

I'm actually surprised that no one here is talking about the 2 PS2 Greatest Hits games for $30.

Roufuss and Shrike4242, is that considered a so-so deal? It says it applies to ALL PS2 Greatest Hits titles so the games must be pretty good, right?

Yea, it's only so-so, since normally at Best Buy you can take a Gamer Gift Card coupon and get $5 off any time during the week.

All the 2 for $30 is doing is making it convient for those that don't have access to the gift card's at their store or don't want to go through the hassle of using it.

I might get God of War and Liberty City Stories, but then again I might hold out for someone to do a 2 for $25 (which I haven't seen in awhile).

For BB's with GGC's in plentiful supply, it's a so-so deal, since anyone can get that deal with two GGC's. The one thing in the 2 for $30's favor is that you don't have to get the two GGC's and you don't have to lock away the money on the gift cards if you decide to return the games.

One little surprise is that some PS2 GH titles at BB are less than $19.99, so that can be a rude shock to get the other game for more than the current retail.

Also, CC has been running promotions with the new GH titles at $14.99 the week after they've gone GH (or two weeks, depends on the promotions), so you can PM them for $14.49 at BB while that's going on. Or much better, if you time it right in when you buy it, such as buying SoTC for $39.99 and then PM'ing it down to $14.99 from CC, though you'd have to time that right.

If they did 2 for $25, then yes, that's a better deal.

[bearcatjosh]

Is $40 the new Dead Rising price, or is that just a sale for this week only?

JOSH

[gunm]

DR is on sale this week only @BB (picked up mine today, in fact).

I may go for Marvel UA w/GGC to get the $5 points card and comic book, but not sure--so much stuff coming up next month....:P

[Apossum]

It should work... you're paying for two seperate items. It's like when Best Buy does 2 for $20 DVD's you can return one and get 1 DVD for $10 (when it usually says "DVD's purchased seperately are $14.99 each).

YMMV based on morality? I'm sure people will see this and start harping on you.

But really, it'll show up on your receipt as Kameo being $30 and the Live Points card being $4.99, so yea, I'm about 95% sure it would work.


Sweet, I'll have to wait to get Lumines Live with this. I have 300 points on my account right now, so I could pick up the skin pack too along with it, all for roughly $5 :)

I make posts like this all the time and never seem to get attacked :lol: knock on wood


wait...this is a hot deal. I'm getting a few. My goal is to be as set on Live points as I am with Live Gold memberships, and at minimal cost :bouncy:

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

I am thinking of picking up the FEAR expansion and another game (probably Call of Cthulhu) with the buy 2 get $10 off PC games. It isn't a great deal, but I liked FEAR a lot, and hopefully the expansion will be good.

This is a kickass week....First off, we got the tru b2g1 deal, then we got the CC deal, by alliance get xmen free, which I am totally down for. Finally, at BB we got a buy any 360 game and get 1600 points for 4.99. I WILL NOT have any money in my account after sun...Guranteed, but can you blame me?

Going to get DOA4 and 1600point so i get the rest of lumines lives (overpriced demo atm :( )

Can someone clarify this...Say you were to buy DOA4 with the GGC next week, and get the 1600 point card...Will the total be $40 plus tax?

or

Do you have to pull teeth to get them to do both offers?

[kianrafiee]

About the "Get 1600 Live Points for only $4.99 instantly when you buy ANY XBOX 360 Game", is that available in store too or just online? Because Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the 360 includes a free comic book in store so you could get a potentially good deal this way.

Wait, why did you buy the game early? You don't get the points deal until Sunday... kinda confused on that one.

Hell, I'm just going to buy any game come Sunday and probably return it to a different BB... if something goes wrong, I'll just return it with the points card before I use it.

[EddieD]

I was passing by BB anyway and noticed they only had 1 copy of RR left. figured I'd snag it before anyone else got the bright idea to buy the cheapest 360 game they have for the deal.

[tcrash247]

Man, I was going to get Marvel at TRU in the B2G1 deal, but now Circuit City makes this complicated. There isn't another 360 game I want at TRU to replace Marvel. Ugh, what to do.

[kofijamal]

I think I might forgo the TRU deal. Too far way from me (and ordering online is the same, if not worst, than trying to get out there), plus I can get Shadow of the Colossus and God of War for 30, then Marvel UA. Thats the best birthday gift for me. I want Justice League Heroes, I have games I can trade for that.

Now if I can get out there, it might be a different story. But after looking at this thread again, it makes sense to me to do it this way.

[sprintsucks5892]

What a killer price on Sims 2 Pets. I have to pick it up for $15.:D

[SOSTrooper]

I just went to Best Buy and got Ridge Racer 6 for $19.99 and 1600 pts for $4.99. Plus I got some BB Bucks from McDonald's to make it sweeter. :)

I think this probably works for GGC too. But I didnt' try.

[louiesnk]

I got RR 6 and 1600 MS points and I did try to use the GGC, but it didn't work.

The register wouldn't allow both discounts or something like that. The cashier seemed kinda new, but 1600 for $5 is still a good deal.

Has anyone been sucessful using the GGC?

[guinaevere]

For anyone getting marvel Ultimate Alliance I have game-related questions.

I've played Xmen Legends 1 & 2. Both were picked up because I'm a comic-book geek at heart and they're both co-op. Both were traded back in because I found them boring. There are some decent bits where there are a lot of enemies to fight, but I invariably wind up going through levels waiting for more enemies to show... and they don't. It's fun for a bit but in the end as I say, I found them both more tedius than enjoyable.

Now that said, can anyone who's played either Xmen Legends 1 or 2 compare Marvel UA? Is it worth my getting, or will I be bored with too few enemies again?

I know most dungeon crawlers have this symptom... you hit a bunch of enemies then you wander around a bit, then some more enemies, then wandering again for a while... but with the Xmen titles I just found myself waiting for enemies more than anything else.

Thanks for any helfpul input and back to the sale.

A promotion like this is the "other deals and promotions" that auto-invalidates the use of the GGC at the register.

There isn't a special order to get them rung up in to get them to work, the only way you can get it to work is to have a cashier get a manager to manually adjust the price downwards and not have them tell you it wouldn't work because of the "other deals" clause on the GGC.

YMMV for certain.

Does anyone know the possibility of getting the $10 of two PC games to work with price matching Sims 2 Pets? Possibly if the discount were applied to the other game and then a price adjustment was gotten later?

[Damanthia]

Does anyone know the possibility of getting the $10 of two PC games to work with price matching Sims 2 Pets? Possibly if the discount were applied to the other game and then a price adjustment was gotten later?

I had a somewhat similar situation - bought Sims 2 Pets PC last week at Best Buy when it came with the $10 gift card. Receipt shows $29.99 paid for Sims 2, $0 paid for $10 gift card. I went to price match Circuit City today for $14.99.

Receipt from price match shows the following:
Return:
Sims 2: Pets 19.99-
Reg 29.99 with 10.00 off

Sale:
Sims 2:Pets 13.49
Matched 14.99 Reg 24.99

So what happened was even though my receipt didn't show a discount on the Sims 2: Pets when I bought it, it remembered it was part of a package. It treated it as only having paid $19.99, so it adjusted $19.99 down to $14.99. It appears that it didn't quite get the extra 10% right though, and instead took the extra 10% from the original price to the price match price (($29.99 - $14.99) * 10%), giving me an extra $1.50 back, instead of what I would have expected (($19.99 - $14.99) * 10%) = $.50.

[BillyBob29]

Using the GGC in addition to the $5 1600 points card offer is definately YMMV but I did get it to work today at store 217 in Colorado.

During my transaction the cashier scanned the game (Kameo), the GGC, then the 1600 points card.

When she hit enter the system took the $5 off the game for the GGC but left the 1600 point card at $19.99. At that point I showed her the ad showing the $4.99 price for the points card with the purchase of any 360 title and she had a supervisor over-ride it for me.

I did this, and they originally told me they weren't going to price adjust it since I got the gift card, but I told them even after you factor out the gift card I still paid $20 for the game, so the CSR went ahead and gave me $5.30 or so back.

It's no big deal, I had already used the gift card so I saved $10 somewhere else.

They get their games whenever FedEx delivers them. Yesterday they told me they might not have Ultimate Alliance until 5pm, but I called them today and they had gotten them at 9am.

I picked up a copy of Ultimate Alliance w/ free X-Men for the 360, and had them pricematch Best Buy's $5 1600 points deal, so I got the 1600 points, too.

FYI, Ultimate Alliance shows up as $20 on the receipt and X-Men shows up as $39.99.

For all you guys out there that want to PM the Marvel/Xmen deal 2 BB, I Can confirm that it is possible. I did it with the ps2 versions. Just bring the CC ad in and let them spend like 3 mins looking at it (people are slow), then a manager will come over to do the overwrite. There should be no probs with the ad, although I wont be surprised if some CAGs struggle with this deal at BB.

I haven't had any problem with getting CC to match the $5 points deal. They did it without any question with a random game at the customer service desk. And then they did without a problem right at one of the normal checkout desks in the video game section when I bought Marvel:UA/X-Men.

If I were you, I'd try just rebuying a copy of Marvel/X-Men (if they're in stock) and have them pricematch the $5 points. Then return the original games. If they're not in stock, then you can go through the hassle of getting them to back match the deal.

I don't know if anyone realized this but the $10 off 2 PC games, IS $10 OFF EACH GAME. I got both games for $25 + tax, (Fear 25-10=15, Call Of Cthulhu 20-10=10)

I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance, X-Men 3: The Official Game, and the 1600 Marketplace Points card. Usually the best time to PM is within the last hour of the day where there would be only 2 cash registers open (sometimes one). I had both the BB ad and CC ad in hand just in case, but everything worked flawlessly. The cashier scanned MUA first, then I showed her the CC ad, and in turn she phoned a manager over for the override. She just glanced at it, read the fine print, and it came out to .01. Then I had her scan the points which rang up 19.99, but after everything was scanned and she hit ENTER it came up as $4.99 with a $15 off promo. I was going to try the GGC, but I figured I was lucky enough so I didn't push it. Besides, there was a long line of angry customers behind me since that was the only register open.8-)

Here's a copy of my receipt (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/Phisticuffs/BBCCdeal.jpg) to help you guys out. I'm probably just going to trade in X-Men unless anyone wants to buy it off me. I hope EB is still doing the 30% extra trade-in credit towards the reservation of a PS3; did anyone else get this phone call last week?

In store. I'm not sure if this is YMMV or not, but I don't think the cashier did anything special, I even saw the promo pop up and all she did was click ok. She definitely didn't do an overide or input anything manually. It is odd that it would ring up differently online than in store.

YMMV Marvel Ultimate Alliance for the XBox 360 for $20 + tax

Here is a YMMV way to get Marvel fo $20. Requires a little work, but I have done it.

1st buy the Marvel and X-Men package at CC. The receipt should show Marvel for $20 and X-Men for 39.99 (at least it did in Houston on Wed). You can not return X-Men at CC since the reciept does list them as a promo package. (Return the games at another convient time, just keep the original receipt.)

So head on over to BB, pick up both games and a 360 point card (not two since you will be returning X-Men). Show the cashier the CC receipt and ask them if they will match the prices. Tell them how you prefer to purchase at BB due to Rewards bla bla bla. They should price match Marvel since you are buying both games as listed on the receipt - of course this is the YMMV part. Then at a later date return X-Men - which should work OK since there is no linking between the two games on the BB receipt. My only real YMMV part is if I can keep the 4.99 point card without them complainging that I can not get both the Price match and the point card discount.

Important - you have to purchase Marvel and X-Men tomorow, Sat. Oct 28 to get the receipt that shows the $20 price on Marvel (again YMMV if CC has changes the prices on the promo)

In store. I'm not sure if this is YMMV or not, but I don't think the cashier did anything special, I even saw the promo pop up and all she did was click ok. She definitely didn't do an overide or input anything manually. It is odd that it would ring up differently online than in store.


my friend did the same thing today, got roller coaster tycoon 3 ($20) and C&C decade collection ($30) and the total was $31.xx after tax, cashier didn't do anything special, just rang them in.

Another report of the $10 off EACH game at Best Buy:

I just wanted to thank the people discussing the FEAR snafu/discount. I would have never guessed it was only $30 to get the game and expansion based on the flier. I bet that game doesnt reach that price for another 6 months or more...

Thanks!

In the CC weekly ads for 10/22-10/28 they had a deal for pre-purchasing Call of Duty 3. If you pre-ordered it, you got a free hat... Could someone tell me what console their pre-purchase with hat offer was for? I can't find last weeks circular anywhere around the house :cry:

Thanks a bunch!
