Mario Party 8 - $44.99:
http://shop.famvid.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=267641

New Users to the website can use a -$5 coupon code: NEWGWMEM for orders of $5 or more. Shipping on all orders is $1!

So your total would be $40.99. Probably one of the best deals that doesn't include GCO.\\:D/

NOTE:
This product will be in stock and ready to ship on Tuesday 10 April, 2007.

Edit: Forgot to add what the coupon does.

[RudyPants]

Sweet deal. If I had a Wii I would definately buy this. I loved the N64 version and I'm sure this one will be awesome.

[SilverPaw750]

I'm tempted, but I'm going to pony up the extra $10 at retail so I don't have to wait for it to ship to my house. I simply need this game that badly.

[Kirra]

I haven't used my GCO $10 off... does familyvideo use GCO?

[OuTrAgE]

Awesome, I've been looking for a non-GCO deal. I don't mind waiting a few days to save $12.

Thanks OP.

[ratpimples]

thanks, although the 5-10 business days might kill me..

[RiskyChris]

Wow that's a pretty good deal. Can I handle being without the game for x days? Probably, the semester is drawing to an end and I'll be gone the entire weekend after this game is out.

Thanks OP.

[burningrom2]

[Quarkus]

Thanks OP. Just bought a copy.

[Sirusjr]

Just to make sure its clear that you can only use the code once per account. I tried to use it on two separate orders so I could get both chocobo tales and diamond for the prices fatbeer listed but it wouldn't work a second time.

[fk51785]

thinking about getting it for my wii.
but i might wait for some reviews or
try it at local gs or ebg.

[Dead of Knight]

Holy shit. Gonna pick this up. It's almost certain that the price will not go any lower than this for a few years knowing Nintendo. And I don't need it THAT badly so the cheap shipping is fine with me. If it sucks dick I can always sell it and recoup my costs. Thanks.

[Viol8tor]

I haven't used my GCO $10 off... does familyvideo use GCO?

Dont think so, searched for it on the site and found nothing. Just PayPal.

If you go to there Location site, you can see what States they are located. (Not in California, yay!)

[cleaver]

$1 cheaper than CDUniverse

[mykee98]

sweet i want this game bad but since i have a backlog of games i havent even unwrapped right now i think a week or more won't be so bad to wait.

[avatar94]

fuck!!! I just ordered it from CDUniverse yesterday with the $10 off $30. I could have saved 95 cents!!!!!!!!
:booty:
Actually I am a little sad about wasting the use of the coupon but whatever. Maybe I'll find something else at familyvideo.

[chakan]

Thanks, in for one.

[bostonfrontier]

In for one........ this saves me tax as well

[avatar94]

Hmmm... I see they have Chocobo Tales for $26.99. Maybe I'll use the coupon to get that instead since I already preordered Super Paper Pario. The $5 off and no tax would still save me $4 + some change compared to Best Buy with GGC + tax.

Anyone else find any other good deals here?

[soccerstud652]

Is family video reliable?

[thecd1]

wow Viol, you just made my girlfriend REALLY happy and she doesn't even know it yet. thanks for the heads up man :applause:

[chakan]

^that sounds so wrong!



Is family video reliable?
I dont know, but they are mentioned several times in the CAG Foreplay on the front page.

[chair_home]

Is family video reliable?

I've done a search on this forum, and a lot of people have said they're very reliable, with a few saying they're a little slow. I guess its kind of a crapshoot, but with the odds in your favor. I'm still trying to decide if saving almost $15 is worth waiting a few days to play it (I'm guessing it is).

[Jasonofindy]

Is family video reliable?
Yes. They are not some small internet startup company that could fold tomorrow and take your money and CC data. They are a very large chain with brick and mortar stores spanning the Midwest. Their strength as a store is based on the fact that they truly are a store for the whole family and have things for everyone. Lots of kids movies (many of which are free rentals if rented at the same time as new release movies for mom and dad), large video game sections, large mainstream sections, and unlike most chains, most of their stores even have large "adult/XXX" sections in a seperate room. The only thing they really lack is a strong import section.

As far as their online store, the website is functional if not pretty. I've gotten in on two of these preorder specials Gears of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas and have been happy both times. However, their free (or in this case) $1 shipping is parcel post if I remember correctly. Since I live in the Midwest near there internet distribution point I've received both of my games within a day or two of the street date. (It was harder to tell with Gears which seemed to have no consistent street date between stores) HOWEVER, I have read many complaints from those on the left coast of 7-10 day shipping times. With parcel post you just never know.

[chair_home]

I went ahead and ordered it. I was going to wait for Tuesday because they have that "in before 2pm or get a $20 gift card" at CC, but if they don't get it there, I'll still be able to get the gift card, and if it is there, Mario will just be taunting me on the cover.

No tax and $10 off is worth it. The game will still be the same even if you are playing it a few days later.

[Snake2715]

I received my package from them and was very happy.

I say go for it.

[silks]

I didn't want to spend the full $50 on what is essentially a GameCube game (that isn't Zelda). SPM should be a GREAT game though. Like a classic Mario platformer, but with some crazy perspective-shifting gameplay thrown in, and your typical Paper Mario humor.

Thanks, OP.

[RiskyChris]

I wanted to throw my hat in the ring. I live in the midwest, and my family (lol) has been using a B&M FV store for years now. I have no experience with their online segment, but I can attest that they are a legit company.

[bostonfrontier]

Family Video is very reliable..... I've ordered tons of games from them back when they have the $5 off ( Gears of War, castlevania, Final Fantasy IV ) and they've all arrived within 2 weeks.

[VidgamesgivemeA_D_D]

Yeah I ordered a few games from them, got them without any problems.

[lordwow]

Ordered. Was looking to pick this up for ~$40, and this sold me.

[coniyee]

is it a good game?

[cleaver]

is it a good game?
My friend says it's real good, goes back to the roots

[MORT A POTTY]

thanks Vol8tor for the heads up :D

[chakan]

"pennysaverman" just posted this on SD

[zymase]

Yes, slickdeals posted this, as usual, without giving credit. Douchebags.

[freshzen]

The Super Paper Mario deal got posted yesterday actually.

[BIG5]

Well I didn't see it, but I'm going to have to hold off on Paper Mario. As much as I want it, I know I would regret the purchase in a week after I beat it. Unfortunately, as a prominent first party Wii title, we problably won't see a price drop for years. I guess I should just rent it.

[konmai]

thanks! Just ordered mine for the lil' brother. :lol:

[sk3tchcom]

Just got this via email from them:

Thank you for ordering from www.familyVideo.com (http://www.familyvideo.com/)! We just wanted to let you know that the item(s) indicated below have been placed on backorder and should ship within 30 days. We will notify you as soon as we confirm the item's availability to ship.

Doh. I ordered this morning. I guess all the attention it has received has overwhelmed them order-wise. I think I'll stick with it. I'm just too cheap to pay $53 for this game.

[freshzen]

I've already got it pre-ordered and paid off but I'll keep the game forever ;-)

[DCGCPlayer]

Dead. For those who missed out, you can get it for about the same price at CDUniverse using the $10 off $30 at Google Checkout...

Front page slickdeals don't last long...

[andersontsia]

Not dead for me.

If you want to buy Super Paper Mario, go to

http://shop.famvid.com/catalog/browse_games.php?browse_id=54

[Dead of Knight]

FUCK. Why oh why did I wait to bite on this deal?!?!? It looks like I can still cart it with anderstonsia's link, let's see if it works.

[Valkryst]

thank you for the cduniverse tip!

[cleaver]

Has anyone's shipped yet?

[mykee98]

Has anyone's shipped yet?

I got an email after lunch time saying mine was backordered and would take 2-3 weeks. I got in on this deal when the thread started so I'm curious who else didn't get theres shipped today.

[sk3tchcom]

Well, I called them this morning because I received a backorder notice the day this thread went up (although I ordered after seeing this on another forum...so it was before this thread). I called to cancel and they said they'd process it.

Well, around lunch time I get an email saying it already shipped out.

Sweet! 8-)

For those of you that missed out, best suggestion I have is Amazon...10% off there.

A few years ago I would have run around to get the GS trade in deal done, but this was almost as good with less work to be done.

[coltduncan]

Just a heads up, I got in on this Thursday morning and also received a backordered e-mail. However, this morning I received one letting me know that my copy has been shipped.

[lordwow]

Yesss, mine shipped despite a backorder email as well. Can't Wait!

[chair_home]

I just got an email, too :-D. I couldn't wait though and picked the game up yesterday at Target with a gift card that I forgot I had. I think I'm going to return the copy that I get from familyvideo.com to Target.

[alongx]

I cracked. Now lets see how long it takes to ship.

[chair_home]
