As of 8/28, the deal appears to be DEAD. The game itself is $22.59 PLUS $7.69 shipping?! Therefore, the $10 off makes NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL NOW! So to all the haters in this thread who had some smart ass shit to say, THIS is when the $10 off isn't a deal..since $10 off of this will come to $20.28! <--Not a DEAL. $4.99 after GCO + Pricegrabber rebate = DEAL.
I got mine. I'm enjoying it! Glad to see a few people jumped on this deal too!

http://www.buy.com/prod/brain-age-2-more-training-in-minutes-a-day/q/loc/108/204710904.html

Just use a new google account and you will get $10 off. Brain Age 2 qualifies for free shipping, so make sure you choose that when checking out. There wasn't any tax for me, and it only charged me $9.99! Sadly, the shipping is 7-9 business days.. LOL..but whatever really.

There's also a price grabber $5 rebate (http://video-games.pricegrabber.com/nintendo-ds-games/m/38926392/) available, so if you can use google checkout AND this..then Brain age 2 just became $4.99 shipped :)

It says a few left, so jump on this if you want it!
Enjoy!

so, at the google checkout screen, the $10 off should be reflected, right? I can't get the $10 off to work anymore...tried changing my address, email address, virtual debit card, none of it worked.

How is this not a deal? You get the game for $9.99. It just came out 2 days ago and you can get it for 50% off--how is this NOT a deal?

*sigh* not again...good for those without a gco account though...

Google accounts are free and take like 5 minutes to create. What's the problem?

Create a new google account? Is that what you meant by "changed e-mail address"? I don't know why people are having a problem..I created a new google account, signed into it..put Brain Age 2 in my Buy.com cart--clicked on Google Check out..and selected free shipping..and that's it.

Because it's a $19.99 game. The $10 Google deal has already been used by any serious bargain hunter, and you're going to save the same $10 whether you use it on a $19.99 or a $59.99 game.

Wait, what!?! There's a way I can save $10 using google account? And I can only use it once, or sign up all the time?? Please not only tell me more, but post a new thread for every product being sold at MSRP that I can save $10 with!

I think its safe to say a GCO deal should only be a deal if its already a deal prior to the GCO. GCO is then the icing on the cake.

I wish these GCO deals would stop being posted, I signed up for 2 new GCO accounts using my domain names, and I was never shipped, nor charged, for said items. It's a waste of time, and 99% of the people here have already legally used GCO.

08-23-2007, 02:45 PM
Who is making a thread for every GCO product??? The only current ones I see are this and the Halo edition XBL membership.

I'm only qualifying this as a GOOD deal simply because:
It's a NEW game that just came ou and Buy.com has a really high shipping cost, and this is FREE shipping. Which in turn, make the $10 off better. The $10 off in general isn't really that great.. for when you pay $4+ on shipping.. when there's no shipping and the product is already cheap..AND it only came out a few days ago.. then it's ok.

Some of you are just assholes. If you don't like the fuckin deal, then don't fuckin worry about it. ZOMG U R TEH L33T!11

If it's SUCH a big deal then why don't we just have a sticky dedicated to Google check out and post the good finds there. There was one a while back (but wasn't stickied) so it gets buried. meh

I've used it a few times and never had any trouble. Are there lots of problems when using this? I have yet to experience any..and I don't follow that many threads w/ this..so I don't know if people did have issues?

I think its safe to say a GCO deal should only be a deal if its already a deal prior to the GCO. GCO is then the icing on the cake.

Well for Buy.com, their shipping is pretty high. $4-$5 for a game I think? That's why I think $10 off makes it an even better deal. But oh well. I guess the part where the Pricegrabber $5 rebate wasn't seen by people. I guess I'll be happy with my Brain Age 2 for essentially $4.99

Yes. I'd say the vast majority of CAG's have used this promotion to the point where it no longer works for them.

So when we start seeing GCO "deals," they're deals only for probably a small minority of readers on this (or any other bargain/shopping site) who've never used it before, or have only used it a couple of times.

For everyone else the $10 off/new account deal is long past dead. Which is why these GCO deals ought to be thrown into one thread so the rest of us don't have to see them pasted every few hours.

Well that I did not know. How many times have some of you used it? I probably did this around 8-10 times and never had any trouble whatsoever. But that's me--if people did this MUCH more then that..and it doesn't work then I can understand.

I agree--there should be a dedicated thread (STICKIED) so we can keep these GCO deals there.

So, jeeze. Sorry to have rubbed some of you the wrong way lol But still..some of you take this way too serious! But Phantom thanks for informing me that most CAGs abused this to the point that it doesn't work for them.

Great deal, certainly more noteworthy/threadworthy than a $48 360 title. Hopefully my order will sneak through.

ZOMG NO ITS NOT11! Everyone here is teh sik of trheadz liek this!

But anyway, thank YOU for not being a douche and not getting bent out of shape because of a "GCO" deal ;)

Yes, GCO gets you $10 off on Buy.com, just as everyone knows (except maybe some CAGs in Training?). But wait, the item has free shipping...oh, hey, and a pricegrabber rebate. Seriously, how many of you knew BA2 could be had for $4.99 before the OP posted? And if you did know, why the hell didn't you post it? Way to not let your fellow CAGs know about a deal.

Sorry, I'm going to have to side with the OP on this one. This is a much better deal on this game than I've seen anywhere else (if you're new to GCO or GCO still works for you). I can see the point against a GCO post if the item is listed at MSRP and you have to pay shipping/taxes and there's no rebates associated. But this is totally post-worthy.

I, for one, thank you, OP. :applause: Even though I already have the game and paid more for it.

THANK YOU! I could totally understand if I started pointing out random games from buy.com and goin "OMG $10 OFF"..because I know EVERYONE on CAG knows that. But this IS a deal because you are getting it for $5 (w/ rebate) and it's a deal BECAUSE this game JUST came out 3 days ago. I've been a member since the very begining and I know when a deal is good to post.. or not..but alas, people just saw the google check out and all decided to get angry when they should just look at the entire deal..Oh well.

And actually by "Who is making a thread for every GCO product" I actually didn't make myself clear. I was under the impression that people where complaining about GCO deals because there were too many of them..and I hadn't seen many on the deals forum..so I questioned "who is making them?!"..didn't mean "Who is going to make 1 thread w/ all the deals" LOL

Thank you, OP, for making this thread, because I had all but forgotten about the GCO...seriously. I was looking for a deal on this game, and I can't ask for better than 50% off.

Well, maybe I can...but you get the point.

Last time I checked, Brain Age 2 JUST came out. So how was this posted many other times before?

You are just looking at the fact that it's google check out..and that's old. However, with sales, price drops, free shipping, rebates..etc..you have to include them in consideration when a GCO deal is posted. I did, that's why I posted it.

Don't like GCO threads? Don't read/participate in them. It's THAT simple. This is a DEALS forum--where CHEAP ASS gamer STARTED. When a GAME is CHEAP, it should be posted.

Thanks, though

i never had a gmail account, but ive used gco before

all you gotta do is put the game in your cart and before you go to checkout itll give you an option buy.com's or google checkout, use the latter, fill in your info, and bam - $10 knocked off!

Why can this fraud be openly talked about but you can't talk about Wal-Mart returns. This deal is no different they making a thread about buying a game on sale (BioShock) for $10 off of MSRP then doing return fraud at Wal-Mart and then buying Brain Age 2 for essentially $10. Like return fraud someone is getting screwed, Google and Buy.com in this case. Where dose CAG draw the line? Don't say moral line because fraudulent activity isn't law abiding no matter how you justify it.

YOu do realize there are probably hundreds of $20 games on Buy.com right? I don't think we need every $20 game listed as a deal for $10 w/GCO in its own thread. That's why folks don't want sht like this listed. Hell never mind the GCO is good 1-time only.

Make a GCO sticky and leave it at that. Or a forum for perpetual/ perpetual 1-time only deals.

Did I post every $20 game? No.
Why did I post this?:
-New Game, just came out THIS week and is a pretty popular game.
-Free shipping via buy.com make the coupon of $10 more valuable
-The $5 pricegrabber bonus rebate, which I included in the OP, makes it basically $15 off a $20 game that's only 4 days old
-This makes it even BETTER now that theres another thread when you register your copy of Brain Age 2, you get a pack of 7 stylus'

Did I post every $20 game? No.

Yeah, but it's not about you. It's about the community. We don't need everyone posting only 1 GCO deal. You only encourage more of these posts whose discount is a standing offer that no one can use a 2nd time and can use on any product. If they circumvent the system to use it a 2nd time then they already know about the GCO.

It is the same as any GCO deal because it's not a deal without it.

And if you thought it was such a deal without it then you should have listed that deal in your title. And in the OP mention that you can use the GCO too. Not the opposite. ;)

While I won't argue whether or not this is *technically* a "deal", I'm in for one. The free shipping + $10 off w/ GCO + $5 pricegrabber rebate + my.nintendo deal means I'm pickin' it up. When all is said and done, its Brain Age 2 and 7-stylus pack for $5. Granted, there's paperwork and waiting involved, but still good.

In for 1. I just hope Google isn't careful enough to notice that I created a new account. Can't resist a $5 game w/ bonus styli. Even if rebates are kind of lame.

Thanks OP (even though it was technically 'just another GCO deal').

And if the subject line told of the GCO + rebate + free styli all in one thread... wouldn't that have been a deal worthy of it's own thread? I understand everyone getting heated over the constant posting of GCO threads but in this case I'm glad it was brought up because of the other discounts and incentives.

I find it both interesting and disheartening that not one of you has addressed this qualm. This is no better than a Wal-Mart return.

Just ordered, thanks for the thread, lilboo. I, for one, appreciate it. :)

No prob! Glad there's people who know what DEALS are still. Rather then looking at the fact you gotta sign up and use GCO.

wow, this is awesome. a brand new game for 50% (75% with pg rebate) of it's retail? i'm almost definitely picking this up.

thank god this was it's own thread so I saw it, and not laid to rest inside that fucking tomb of a thread, the gco thread.

Exactly. But apparently. I'm wrong for doing so. Yet, I've been a member of CAG since it's first week..but I don't know what a deal is..:roll:

Gotta love the bumps from the complainers! :D

Exactly. They are only helping other people out! Thanks complainers!

Why bother because people will keep doing it. Do you really think that a person who'd do these kind of things will listen to anyone? It's wrong to abuse GCO so I saved it until I saw a good deal (I bought Persona 3 at Buy.com) and I won't be using GCO again, unless they have a new promotion I can legitimately take part in.

Since when did CAG stand for Complain, Argue and Gripe?

To be honest I never thought much about it since the offer was severly time limited. That was of course before buy.com extended the offer exclusively. Either way it makes no difference now. I can't use it anymore with just a new email address and I don't plan on going to any further lengths to cheat the system.

I was almost feeling ripped off for my $15 spent on this game at CC, until I started playing the Sudoku. You might not want to trade the game in right away until you've at least played a few of the 100 Sudoku puzzles that come included with the game. There's also a lame version of Dr. Mario, the worst puzzle game in history, hidden at the bottom of the practice courses (simply click on the bottom ???) that you can "enjoy".

In a way, you're getting 3 mediocre games in 1! (...and you never have to yell "blue" into the mic this time.)

everytime I order something from buy.com w/GCO it gets cancelled, I've tried with multiple credit cards too. :(

Oh wow. They're cracking down on these huh? It's been awhile since I did a GCO. I think I've done three (or four?) of these total. Last time was for RE4. I like GCO though. I don't want my CC banned. :(

Honestly this deal is only tempting for the stylii (what a fun word). I think I've read that these are for the DS Lite? Do these not fit in the original DS model?

And to all the bitching...jeez. You know some people don't prowl around CAG all day long? Some people might not know about GCO? Ehh? I've never understood people who complain about FREE INFORMATION. No one is compelling you to click on these threads.

I think it may have gone up because they sold out of initial stock. When I ordered there were few left and had to be ordered soon, now they're normal in stock but at a higher price.

Just a thought.
