[batman2million]

soul calidur 2 is already 20 bucks...wow..

[Rubberlegs]

I Gonna Git You Sucka and Bulletproof Monk for $10 is a great deal. Good lookin' out trustcompany.

[Valkryst]

finally rotk is $20

I smell a pricematch at BB + GGC

[peteyrose]

ROTK is mine! :)

Does BB allow price matches + GGC? I thought GGC wouldn't work with another deal. I guess I'll have to check it out.

[yeldarb367]

soul calidur 2 is already 20 bucks...wow..
Not sure if you were joking but it's been that way for a long time.

That BOGO DVD sale looks interesting. Might have to pick some up. Thanks for the heads up (a week in advance).

No Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow???

[peace]

Thanks for the early info but nothing too good this week.

[notoriousxbox]

ROTK is mine! :)

Does BB allow price matches + GGC? I thought GGC wouldn't work with another deal. I guess I'll have to check it out.

It is very much YMMV on getting BB to price match and then use the GGC.

[Stryffe2004]

ROTK is mine! :)

Does BB allow price matches + GGC? I thought GGC wouldn't work with another deal. I guess I'll have to check it out.

This is definitely YMMV. I have been able to do it on one day, then the next time, nothing. And this was at the same store.

[Stryffe2004]

You beat me too it notorious.

[tenzor]

i am happy doom 3 is $44.99, or else I would be paying the heavy $54.99 price for it. thanks trust!

[sying]

Gonna pick up that Princess Diaries, then gonna see Princess Diaries 2. Yeah baby.

[Magician]

Gonna pick up that Princess Diaries, then gonna see Princess Diaries 2. Yeah baby.

As a girl, I am proud to say I will do the same. :D

Thanks trust! My uncle wants Doom 3 (its one of the few PC games he actually plays), but he's in Vietnam for the month, so I might pick it up for him.

[hero_icon_rolemodel]

Gonna pick up that Princess Diaries, then gonna see Princess Diaries 2. Yeah baby.

As a girl, I am proud to say I will do the same. :D



That still doesn't make it right :)

[nogard]

Nothing interesting for me as always.

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for posting!

[jputahraptor]

$9.99 for the incredibly sucky Terminator 3, I'm there!

[Wario64]

soul calidur 2 is already 20 bucks...wow..

You sound suprised. The game came out 11 months ago, that's a pretty lengthy time

[Murcielago77]

nothin good but thx anyways trustcompany.

[beerguy961]

Good deals on DVDs. I'll have to pick up Fight Club and I'll tell my buddy about Rocky (he's recently been obsessed with it...

Thanks trust...

[vanlandw]

knight rider on DVD WILL BE MINE!

i'm such a dork :-\

35 bucks is much better then the 41 dollars amazon is asking

[EddieBelfour]

any good prices on a 27 inch flat screen? if not ill just go tomorrow!!

[vanlandw]

For the fight club DVD does anybody know if it's the good two disk version or the single disk?

thanks in advance

[Chris Dillon]

its problaby single. It was last time they had a deal on it.

[pimp tyranny]

coo

[snipegod]

I'm guessing that The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly DVD is the regular edition and not the Collector's Edition that they came out with of the movie not too long ago, right?

If it was the Collector's Edition, then that's single-handedly the best thing I've ever heard.

[BatStrike]

Damn, I can't believe you got it already :shock:
Looks like I'll pick up LoTR:RotK (XBOX) & a few DVDs.
Thanks for posting this already.

[cheapass Gundam]

soul calidur 2 is already 20 bucks...wow..

Target has it on sale this week for about $15.98 or so.

Edit: only $15.88, even better. :wink:

[The Successful Dropout]

but best buy always as it for 14.99 after the ggc...and if you dont use the ggc and just price match it this week at bb from the $15.88 target ad, you might be able to get it cheaper due to the 10% off...use your reward zone card for an extra bonus

[Tenacious D]

Thanks for the info in advance Trustcompany. :)

[shrike4242]

I did the price match for NFL 2K5 with CC, making it $15.48 or something like that after the $4.11 + 10% price match return.

Only thing is with the GCC, you have to put $5 onto the gift card, as BB said it's the smallest amount that you "should" put on it. From what they told me, it's only a suggestion and you could put $1 on it. Maybe $0.01?

Wonder what the cheapest someone's been with putting moey on a gift card?

[jediman]

[quote="shrike4242Only thing is with the GCC, you have to put $5 onto the gift card, as BB said it's the smallest amount that you "should" put on it. From what they told me, it's only a suggestion and you could put $1 on it. Maybe $0.01?

does it matter whether the amount is $.01 or $5 won't it be gone once the purchase is made?

True.

[rebenns]

Looks like it's time to snag a copy of Bull Durham. Not sure what to get for the free one, though. To Live and Die in L.A. perhaps?

[DisturbedZen]

Nice early deals, but nothing good.

[goldengraham]

$10 for Hoosiers and The Good The Bad and The Ugly? This is awesome. To the Bull Durham guy, get Hoosiers for free. It's a great movie.

[Magician]

Gonna pick up that Princess Diaries, then gonna see Princess Diaries 2. Yeah baby.

As a girl, I am proud to say I will do the same. :D



That still doesn't make it right :)

Eh. As a crazy girl, I am proud to say I will do the same. :wink:

[snipegod]

Can anyone answer whether this is the plain The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly DVD or the Collector's Edition?

I've been waiting on a deal on the Collector's Edition for a while.

[Squirms]

I would have to think it's the plain DVD. The collectors addition just came out, so I can't see that big of a price cut now.

[AzianAsspicker]

Where do i get a GGC?

[yeldarb367]

I would have to think it's the plain DVD. The collectors addition just came out, so I can't see that big of a price cut now.
It's the plain one.

[Kain Vincent]

Well, I don't see much worthwhile deals at CC next week. Thanks for the heads up! :)

[vrs1650]

Should I wait for the XBOX ROTK next week or get the PS2 one now.

[roguejedi5]

Some good classics dvds and their buy one and get one free. I have to say thats the best early heads up I've ever seen. thanks a bunch Trust! How about an encore and do it with Best buy and Target too or is that asking too much. Yes, the Good,bad and the ugly has to be the single disc since the collectors edition just came out in May 2004.

[MeGaWC27]

I thought Soul Calibur2 was already for 20 bucks...

[craven_fiend]

good heads up trust.

finely another week that i can slow down for

[AzianAsspicker]

Pricematch will not work with GGC. The GGC says that you can't use it with any offers or other coupons. If you get lucky and the cashier person pricematches it if you have the ad and they tell you that you can't use the GGC, tell them that pricematch is store policy and is NOT an offer. If they are stupid then they will go ahead and scan it through...

[fireball343]

ROTK is mine! :)

Does BB allow price matches + GGC? I thought GGC wouldn't work with another deal. I guess I'll have to check it out.

This is definitely YMMV. I have been able to do it on one day, then the next time, nothing. And this was at the same store.

they are buttholes about doing it cuz, it's two deals/offers. no you idiot, it's your price match policy and an offer. it doesn't say cannot be combined with a policy. this is the best grounds for opposing your whoever checks you out.

i've also been told, the coupons automatically work, it didn't so you don't quallify.

uhhhhhh. since when have bb coupons worked automatically on a regular basis?

[The Successful Dropout]

bump

[shrike4242]

True.[/quote]

According to the BB guy I spoke with, the "official" minimum is $5, though he seemed to indicate that there wasn't anything in the computer to prevent you from tossing $0.01 onto a gift card. Only one way to find out for certain. :wink:

[seebelow]

So Full Spectrum Warrior will be $30 at Target after the $5-off coupon from their site. Not a bad deal if I didn't already have it...

[Thunderscope]

Sonic Advance 3 $20 after GGC at Best Buy!

[Admiral Ackbar]

20% off all Anime. Not the best. But I can shave off a couple bucks from Macross Plus. Maybe get it for $16 each or $32 bucks. Better than 40.

[rabbitt]

Zelda 4 Swords for $32 after BB GGC is cool. Still too high for me, but thanks anyways trust.

[DCGCPlayer]

Can anyone answer whether this is the plain The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly DVD or the Collector's Edition?

I've been waiting on a deal on the Collector's Edition for a while.

I wanted to know the same thing regarding Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and West Side Story... older SEs or the really old FF version (at least for Chitty Chitty)?

[shrike4242]

So Full Spectrum Warrior will be $30 at Target after the $5-off coupon from their site. Not a bad deal if I didn't already have it...

I wish I had seen that coupon last week, when I did a PM from Target, who had it at $29.77, at CC for it, which knocked down it down to $27.75.

Had I bought it direct from Target, it would have been $29.77 - $5, or $24.77. :shock:

[Alien Spider]

Eh, I didn't see anything for this week. But after buying Psi-Ops, Manhunt, and Hellboy, I could really use the downtime.

Many thanks for these threads, trust! :D

[JasonTerminator]

That 20% off anime is GREAT!

My Best Buy had a couple copies of the Excel Saga box set a couple weeks ago, and I was waiting to get one of those 10% off coupons in the mail before buying it. I can probably get $10 off with this!

[DisturbedZen]

Nice info but nothing good imo.

[Steggy]

no ones pumped for the doom 3 release...?

[tenzor]

I am pumped up for doom 3, I just hope frys will have a good deal for it since CC so far has the best one $44.99.

[yeldarb367]

Where's RS3 Black Arrow???

[mtxbass1]

Wonder what kind of dance pad that is for $19.99?

[Murcielago77]

still nothing interesting this week. thx again anyways

[dracula]

ROTK is mine! :)

Does BB allow price matches + GGC? I thought GGC wouldn't work with another deal. I guess I'll have to check it out.

of course you can just bring the gamer card coupon into circuit city and they will accept the competetors coupon so this is really a non issue.

i guess there are some good possibilities for rain checks on the $36.88 spiderman 2 and other expensive games

BTW, wasnt it just last week that defender was frontpaging his memory card deal for $18??? It is only $15 this week at best buy so i wonder if we will see that deal on the front page :roll:

[Admiral Ackbar]

My Best Buy had a couple copies of the Excel Saga box set a couple weeks ago, and I was waiting to get one of those 10% off coupons in the mail before buying it. I can probably get $10 off with this!

I would get Excel Saga from Deepdiscountdvd.com. They have it for $54 with free shipping. Even witgh 20% off it'll probably still cost you $70+ at Best Buy.

The 20% off really isn't that great. Excpt for the titles you can't find for cheap online. The best I can find Macross Plus OVA's online is $20 and that's before shipping. It may be 25 at BB but combined it'll cost me $20 with 20% off. Which is about going rate, nothing special. But at least I avoid shipping.

[FaintDeftone]

what a poop week. When I have plenty of money to blow, they don't have crap :(

[tolhurst]

I haven't picked up Mario Golf yet, so 20 at BB is my deal this week

[peteyrose]

No Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow???

Buy one Showgirls get the other to get for your friend free

[SteveMcQ]

ah, marking for future reference

[will1394]

i dont get why you put money on a ggc and then use it? can someone please explain? im a noob.

[darth007]

I may be a noob to this site also, but i grasp the concept of the GGC. If youre putting 5 dollars on the card, you wouldve used that 5 dollars on a game anyways, and of course now you can use the $5 coupon in the gift card insert thing, so its getting the $5 coupon for free just as long as you were gonna use that $5 u put on the card for something. And i have a question about the 20% off anime, do you think I can use it on Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex vol 1 special edtion?

[robbart914]

If it's the entire selection, then it's surely not limited only to standard editions.

[trunks982]

i saw the bestbuy paper. it tells u the price and under the price of the dvd it says in fine print: after savings. so i believe they give u the 20% off.

[Kaijufan]

Nothing good this week.

[gamefreak117]

thanks Trust,
FSW looks like a sweet deal. :)

[Demolition Man]

I wanted to know the same thing regarding Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and West Side Story... older SEs or the really old FF version (at least for Chitty Chitty)?

Its the movie only editions. Very doubtful that you'll see the SEs for either on a 2fer sale like that.

[peteyrose]

Am I the only one who doesn't bother putting money on the gift card? I just take the cardboard coupon with me straight up to the counter and leave the card and plastic case behind.

[mmn]

Ordered ROTK for Xbox off CC.com.

Thanks CheapyD and OP!

[Mr. Anderson]

CC accepts competitors coupons, right?

[JasonTerminator]

CC accepts competitors coupons, right?

Yeah, just go to the Customer Service desk instead of the register.

[zoopie]

Taken from DVDTalk forums, regarding The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (SE):

I just got back from CCity and their 2 for 9.99 sale.

They had The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly 2-Disc S.E. (none of the 1 disc old version) in the box as part of the sale. I figured it was a mistake but what the heck, try it anyway.

I brought that and Bull Durham up to the checkout and it wrang up like this:

Good, Bad Ugly $10
Bull Durham $5
TOTAL $15

So, it may be possible that GBU will wring up for $10 on it's own, and the other actual 9.99 titles wring up for $5.

My friend also got the same deal at a different register at the same time except he got To Live and Die In LA instead of Bull Durham. We didn't say a thing and the clerks seemed like they were doing price corrections and overrides in the computer, because they didn't just wring them in. It took a few minutes, but all seemed like it was proper. It would seem odd that two different cashiers would wring in two separate purchases in the same manner without prior knowledge of the sale. So this may be an unadvertised sale, possibly a glitch. Maybe they didn't realize they wouldn't have the older 1-disc in stock anymore, so they made this adjustment to make up for it.

Definitely YMMV, but I got this at the Salem, NH store.

Cheers!

[Larsin]

thanks for the heads up

[andrew333]

not all CCs accept competitors' coupons

[andrew333]

petey - i might be careful with that strategy

[EvilE]

Petey is wild and crazy!!

[fraeone]

Will the GGC work w/ sale items? I would love to get a Dual Shock 2 for $14.99.

[daytripp13]

Hey what about there 11.99 CD sale?

all CDs
11.99 each or less
this week only

I'm gonna go today to check it out.

[AzianAsspicker]

I think i'll be picking up pandora tommorow soon at BB from a PM and Rainbow six 3 BA... by the way... any1 know if fry's will sell it on sale when it first comes out? They usually do that to attract customers

[Edge]

I would get Excel Saga from Deepdiscountdvd.com. They have it for $54 with free shipping. Even witgh 20% off it'll probably still cost you $70+ at Best Buy.

The 20% off really isn't that great. Excpt for the titles you can't find for cheap online. The best I can find Macross Plus OVA's online is $20 and that's before shipping. It may be 25 at BB but combined it'll cost me $20 with 20% off. Which is about going rate, nothing special. But at least I avoid shipping.

Umm, no, the 20% off deal IS great because Bestbuy already has extremely cheap prices on Anime. I myself did pick up that Excel Saga box set, it came to 46.39 with the 20% deal, MUCH better than $54! Similarly I picked up the limited edition box of Wolf's Rain vol. 1. The cheapest I've ever seen it online is $36, at Bestbuy I got it for $32. Bestbuy already prices all their DVDs and Anime far below retail price (for example the retail price on the Wolf's Rain set I got is $60, but their regular price is $40), so this 20% deal only makes cheap anime even cheaper. I doubt there's many online places that will come anywhere near beating Bestbuy on this deal. You should actually go to Bestbuy and check their prices, it sounds like you'd be suprised at how cheap it really is.

i saw the bestbuy paper. it tells u the price and under the price of the dvd it says in fine print: after savings. so i believe they give u the 20% off.

Actually, the fine print says BEFORE savings, all the prices for the Anime they showed in the ad are before the 20% discount is applied (i.e. the ones with $20 on them are $16).

Edit: oh, and yes the 20% anime deal does apply to ALL anime, including box sets and limited editions.

[skcll]

I have a question for you guys about Doom 3 at CC.

Next weeks ad offers a $10 gift card instead of $10 off of the game. Did you guys mess up in this weeks ad? Did they mess up in next weeks ad? Did the deal change?
