These are coupon codes I got and I really didn't think it would be fair just dumping them on everyone plus it wouldn't be fair to them because well... I really wouldn't feel right for some reason.

So here is the first one. Remember they can only be used for Toys R Us website. PS2 Speed Kings $20 Off - 909445

These codes are good to at least March some even April of next year.

*Added by CheapyD*
"The List"
Make sure you buy the game from Toy's R Us and not another vendor!
If the codes aren't working, it means that Toy's R Us is sold out and you are out of luck for now. Check back often as titles do come back in stock.

All games are for the PS2

I dunno...I WOULD get it, but I'm so cheap that the shipping even turns me off. 'Course it wasn't a game I'd have gotten anyway. But keep those coupon codes coming! Thanks for that!

YoshiFan1
12-13-2003, 12:07 AM
Thanks, just ordered it for $4.76 as well. I was always interested in the game (I heard it's like Burnout on motorcycles) but didn't want to pay more than $10 for it but under $5 is even better. :D

WhoDey
12-13-2003, 12:35 AM
Hmm, only works for the PS2 version.

Oh well, I've never really even heard of the game before anyway. I was just going to get it because it was free.

Saturday - Coupon Code of the Day

PS2 Lethal Skies II - $20 off - 909448

No all codes. I mean you are basically getting free games. I won't say how I did get the codes but if you were to purchase HARD Bundles at TRU you can get the actual coupons. They are the PS2 and XBOX ones in hard plastics. They will be advertised this Sunday.

But again... no all codes. Sucks for you except you get a free game.

chunk
12-13-2003, 06:21 PM
so all the codes are PS2 and Xbox?
No Gamecube?

guessed
12-13-2003, 06:31 PM
Thanks for another code. I'm gonna hold off on this one, give other people a chance to get it since I got in on the last one. If it is still in stock after a bit, I may order it.

Togepy
12-13-2003, 06:51 PM
bingbangboom, Are these coupons also in paper form that you can use in the store?

BTW: Lethal Skies II is $30.

BTW: Lethal Skies II is $30.

That's the other reason I am holding off. So much for trying to seem magnanimous. :wink:

bingbangboom
12-13-2003, 07:01 PM
No Gamecube or Gameboy Advance codes. Yeah sucks for me too.

The coupons are in paper form but you have to buy a PS2 or XBox hard bundle for them. The hard bundles are $260.

Togepy
12-13-2003, 07:35 PM
Are the coupon books included in the package or are they seperate? If they are seperate, I might be able to get one from some worker I know at TRU.

12-13-2003, 10:30 PM
What Xbox codes? I only see PS2 coupons in this thread.

bingbangboom
12-13-2003, 10:38 PM
So far the Xbox codes don't work, they might later on though.

They are not seperate, they are incased in the plastic shell bundle so unless you plan on stealing it it would be hard to actually get the coupon book without buying it.

hohndog
12-14-2003, 10:36 AM
Thanks again BBB! Went over my "cheap ass $10 game list" limit on this one by $5, but still a bargain. Hmmm... what game could you have in mind for your "Sunday - Coupon Code of the Day." I like how you're spreading this out in "daily" codes. This way, everyone has a chance to take advantage of your "cheap ass deals"... I usually miss out since I work late every night. Keep 'em coming! :)

I think the reviews were o.k. I belive that's the game where you are a captured WWII fighter trying to escape a prison (camp)? Plus if it's only $5 or so...

Got in on this one.........Thanks for the awesome deal BBB.

I like how your leaking them out one at a time.......so suspenseful.........lol

bingbangboom
12-14-2003, 07:34 PM
No.

The game is based off the movie from I believe the 70's. It isn't that great but if you are a big fan of the movie you will enjoy it.

Another freebie...nice.

This game ain't horrible either even at the list price.

BBB, just one quick question...Do you have coupons in that stack of yours that are for more "A-list" games? Outside of DW4 most of the games have been average "could care less" games. Please, don't get me wrong, I LOVE the coupons, I was just wondering. Thanks.

YoshiFan1
12-16-2003, 08:26 PM
The site finally worked, another $4.76 game. It keeps getting more and more difficult to pay more than $5 or $10 for any game with all these cheap games for under $5.

CheapyD
12-16-2003, 08:30 PM
I wonder if this will work with my old PSX light gun.
I think I remember reading that the they don't work on the PS2 but I'm not positive.
For less than $5, I am willing to take the "risk".

Thanks again, bbb.

arcadia67
12-16-2003, 08:50 PM
BBB, thank you so much! I wanted Starsky & Hutch because it's both light-gun compatible AND steering wheel compatible (Player One drives, while Player 2 shoots!) Since my gaming buddy and I love to both shoot and drive (in video games, anyway) I am really looking forward to playing this...

Plus, anything with a 70's vibe is right up my alley.... :D

Thanks so much for providing these coupons to us cheap-ass gamers...

To answer some of the questions, and spare BBB having to do so:

The codes are specific to a version of the game, so if it says it is for the PS2 version, it shouldn't work for the Xbox version (but feel free to give it a try, you never know). There are, I believe, Xbox codes coming, I'm not sure for which games.

The codes do not expire for some time, but don't count on a game staying in stock. Most of the games for which he has posted codes go out of stock the same day, so get in quickly if you want to get in. Looks like the latest one is already OOS, and it has been posted for less than 2 hours. They may restock later on, but I'm not counting on it.

Thanks again BBB.

Also I would prefer Cheapy D or others not to post the codes on the front page. The main reason is I want people to come to the forum first. I want them to spread the wealth and buy posting it on the front page they just click while some others who know about the topic come here looking every night.

Also you guys are lucky I don't have a PS2 in my room or don't want any of these games. I really didn't think they would sell out so quickly.

But yeah, I would prefer that these codes be first come first serve on the forum... not just the main front page. If it is always like that I may just skip a few days. (wink wink)

this is it! can we have like a copyright thing so no one can copy what's here? and member should not go to other forum with the deal. there's no point if only one person come here and post the deals on other forum, no one would come if they can get the deal anyway. it would be a slim chance too if someone google it cuz i dont think many people gonna google for example "starky and hutch discount". this would help IMO and like the EA thing, it was first posted here and end up everywhere but most doesnt even credited CAG!! and said the deal come from some where else. WTF?!?! :evil:

S&H = Starsky and Hutch, not Shipping & Handling, in this instance. Kinda funny, though.

Had Lethal Skies 2 and Starsky and Hutch in my cart last night (along with some other items I was picking up for x-mas gifts)... Hit "checkout" and both games, plus every other item in my cart, were suddenly out of stock... DOH! :evil: Felt like I was strolling through Walmart or something and somebody came up, pushed me out of the way and ran off with my cart full of goods. It's too bad they don't temporarily 'reserve' an item once you add it to your cart (like in real stores!) :(

I really didn't think they would sell out so quickly (wink wink)


Probably do to the fact that it was GOOGLER who posted it to VGTALK and then someone else posted in up on FATWALLET from there.

I don't have an issue with it... I appreciate the fact that it was posted...
Just wanted BBB to understand how fast news travels.

Thanks again.

PS.. Are those unadvertised GobCom and DOAXBV still available, if instock?
this is it! can we have like a copyright thing so no one can copy what's here? and member should not go to other forum with the deal. there's no point if only one person come here and post the deals on other forum, no one would come if they can get the deal anyway. it would be a slim chance too if someone google it cuz i dont think many people gonna google for example "starky and hutch discount". this would help IMO and like the EA thing, it was first posted here and end up everywhere but most doesnt even credited CAG!! and said the deal come from some where else. WTF?!?! :evil:


Well... I don't have a big thing about posting it at other sites... And for the credit thing... well I don't really care about that issue either. I understand the fact that the site operator makes money to pay for bandwidth and what not by people using the codes that are posted.

What I was really getting at by the whole thing is that BBB did not understand that this sold out so quickly... Since I appreciated the fact that he posted it.. I thought that I would let him know that it got posted by a user from here (GOOGLER) ...and then the code later was posted to another huge deal site...

Anyways... thanks again BBB!

I have permission from BBB to post the deal on the front page because the VGtalkers and others just take it (without giving credit) from the forum anyway.
If its on the front page, at least more CAGs can get to it faster (I think).

I don't know if anyone else has tried this or thought of it, but I just tried it and Amazon accepted it and confirmed my order. Here is the deal:

You will use the codes for Speed Kings, Gladiator, and the Buy 2 Get 3 code (all found elsewhere in this massive post).

Add Speed Kings, Gladiator, and one other game of your choice from the Acclaim list (I picked Burnout 2). All of these are for PS2 for this big deal to work.

Then, apply the codes for Speed Kings (20 off), Gladiator (20 off) and the the Buy 2 Get 3 code for a Grand total of $60 OFF!!!!

My total with tax and shipping for 3 games was $41.46 (less than the retail of the new Gladiator). this won't last long, get it now!

PLUS, if you wanted other Ps2 games that is in this post, you could add lethal skies and DW4 and get 20 off of them as well, but that wont add anything great to this deal.

My first post here, let me know if you like it or if I am repeating info!

Great site!

I ordered Speed Kings, Summer Heat Beach Volleyball, and Burnout 2 Director's Cut. The were $20 each, but I applied the -$20.00 off coupon for Speed Kings, and the BUY2GET3ACCL coupon. This gave me another $20.00 off. So I got 3 games (that were supposed to be $20 each) for $20+tax and shipping ($29.xx total). Hurry, this won't last!

Because he has the codes, and that is the way he wants to do it.

Sure, it would be great for a few of us if he posted them all at once, we add them all to our carts, and get a bunch of games for a few dollars, since the combined shipping would be less than the individual shipping.
But this way more people get a chance, because I may see today's code first, but you may see tomorrow's first. The way he is doing it, the savings get spread around a little more evenly. I like it. Even if I didn't like it though, as I said, his codes/his rules.

12-25-2003, 08:54 PM
Don't get me wrong bingbangboom, I appreciate you posting these discount codes as much as any other cheap-ass here. But $5 coupons really aren't such a good deal. You started this discussion with $20 coupons for $19.99 games. Now those were killer deals, and a lucky few of us cheap-asses were fortunate enough to take advantage of them. Would you consider posting the remaining $20 coupon codes on a daily basis vs. breaking them up with these $5 coupons? It's your discussion, so you can do what you want to with it. Just thought I might suggest an alternative. Thanks BBB.

Killer, he never mentioned such a thing. If you had been following this post, you'd know that. The suggestion was meant for the initiator of this topic, which would not be you.

Supernothing, look at my original post, starting after the first comma of the first sentence. It says "I appreciate you posting these discount codes"... Where did I ever say I didn't appreciate it? Gimme a break. Also, he never mentioned a "coupon book" as killer mentioned and you asserted was on "page 9." He simply stated he as going in order of the list he had. I simply suggested that he post the "killer" deals on a daily basis ahead of the $5 deals. Simple as that. Now can you all stop whining about my suggestion and just wait for BBB's next post. Geesh.

but BBB, I thank you anyway...I so truly appreciate what you're doing for us...

wonder if the mystery game is rez...

12-28-2003, 08:54 PM
If its REZ, grab it. Its not only very good, but also very rare. I bought REZ at full price and think its worth every penny. I'm in the same boat arcadia, I get home late as well... sigh.

12-28-2003, 09:13 PM
Amazon does not currently carry Rez and if the mystery game is that hard to find why would it be available at Amazon? Does Amazon get games instock just for these daily codes? Oh and thanks OP for posting these codes!

Thanks! Going to make Best Buy match it and GGC it to 15 bucks. Nice :)

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 12:27 AM
Stupid question alert:

When you price match, do you show the ad with the lower price to the cashier before he/she rings it up? Or to the manager? Exactly how does this work?

Does bringing in a price found online always work?

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 12:31 AM
It works in most reputable stores. They will match the website printout (as long as it shows that it is New and In Stock). I just show it to a cashier...who then calls over a manager.

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 01:07 AM

Stunna-88
12-31-2003, 01:24 AM
Thanks! Going to make Best Buy match it and GGC it to 15 bucks. Nice :)

Best Buy price matches w/ a 110% policy, meaning the price would be $18 after price match, making it in-elgible for the GGC (only valid on games/game accessories 19.99 and up).

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 01:30 AM
Don't they only do the 110% when it was something you already bought from them but found a better advertised price?

I have had them match before, and I do not recall getting anything but the price they were matching. :)

Ugamer_X
12-31-2003, 01:32 AM
Are you sure about that? I thought they only give you the 110% if you already bought the item and then saw it cheaper elsewhere. I've pricematch numerous times there and I always get the exact value.

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 01:33 AM
Let me make sure I got this price match stuff straight...

Right now, BB has Beyond Good & Evil for $30. I can print it from their website (it's in stock), and bring it to CC. They'll match it, plus take off an extra 10%. I get it for $27. Right?

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 01:35 AM
No, they will match it. They only give the 10% when you already bought something and found it cheaper elsewhere.

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 01:43 AM
So if CC is just going to match it, why wouldnt I just buy the game at Best Buy in the first place??

I guess what I'm really asking is...what exactly is the point of Price Matching?

Please excuse my ignorance about all this, but the only way I'll learn (and save $$) is by asking..

bowsernieb
12-31-2003, 01:45 AM
Price matching is good when one place might be sold out of something...so you take it to CC or someplace and get it if they DO have it in stock. Or if it's like a web deal...you can take in the print-out even after it's sold out. I did that with Pikmin and got it for 7 bucks. There is an advantage to it in most cases.

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 01:47 AM
Especially since the real good deals sell out quickly. When they do you can bring the printed advertisement to just about any legitimate store and get the price match. :)

asianxcore
12-31-2003, 01:47 AM
i bought Beyond Good and Evil and price matched it at Circuit City. i just grabbed Best Buy's ad, the game at circuit city and went to pay for it and said that I found it cheaper, they matched the price plus took off 10% of the difference.

so yes you can get it for 28.99 if i remember right.

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 01:56 AM
Or... You could have just used a GGC at BB and gotten it for 24. :-D

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 01:57 AM
Ohhhhhh! Ok, got it. Really got it this time...

Bowsernieb, GSJaia and asianxcore, thanks so much for your input...

i suddenly get the feeling that learning how to price match is the worst possible thing to happen to my budget!!!

Stunna-88
12-31-2003, 02:12 AM
My bad guys, I guess I was confused about the whole 110% thing this entire time.

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 02:19 AM
From CircuitCity.com:

In-Store Price Match Plus Guarantee (for purchases made in one of our stores)

Nothing's worse than paying too much. That's why we do everything in our power to make sure you don't pay a penny more than you should for anything you buy at Circuit City. If you've seen a lower advertised price from another local store with the same item in stock, we want to know about it. Bring it to our attention, and we'll gladly beat their price by 10% of the difference. Even after your Circuit City purchase, if you see a lower advertised price (including our own sale prices) within 30 days, we'll refund 110% of the difference.

Our policy applies only to advertised prices. It does not apply to special offers or promotions, including rebates, free-with-purchase offers, and special financing.

arcadia67
12-31-2003, 08:21 AM
Hey GSJaia...

Actually, the reason I posted CC's price match policy was because I had posted a scenario about bringing a Best Buy ad (for Beyond Good & Evil) to Circuit City for them to price match...

and I just might try it today... :wink:

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 08:24 AM
If you are near a Best Buy you can get teh game cheaper for the 20 bucks match and then using Gamer Gift Card. :)

E-Z-B
12-31-2003, 09:56 AM
Especially since the real good deals sell out quickly. When they do you can bring the printed advertisement to just about any legitimate store and get the price match. :)

At my CC, they ALWAYS verify the website of your printed advertisment. If the website says "Sold Out" or if the price is now higher, you're SOL. So only use the pricematch if the item is still in stock at the cheap price.

GSJaia
12-31-2003, 11:24 AM
I usually go to the Best Buy to price match so I can use the Gamer's Gift Card. They NEVER verify if it is in stock or not.

here's another TRU/AMZ coupon code:

XBX/PS2 Whiplash original price $40

At checkout, enter promotional code:
910189 (save $5) PS2/XBX
910496 (save $20) on PS2
910569 (save $20) on XBX (not currently active but verified as correct)

The coupons are stackable.
i.e. PS2 Whiplash : $40 - $20 - $5 = $15 + $5 shipping = $20
Now this title is SUPPOSED to qualify for FREE shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/516232/

...but TRU/AMZ is not crediting the F.S. correctly. I called TRU.com inc. and they are trying to fix it. so if you can't wait, the game is yours now for $20+-, but if you wait for them to fix the freeship, then $15+-

Unfortunately the Eidos rebate ($5) expired yesterday.

Happy New Year!
