Target / CC / Best Buy Video Game Prices: December 23 - December 29, 2007

[silentbobnj]

Hey, just wondering, I thought I read that the Xbox Collector's editon of Stranglehold is on sale for 39.99 too. Was that this week? Looking for Xbox 360 version.

[Terrenceistheman]

Check the Best Buy coupon thread.

Cool yo - thanks

[DeskLaser]

I ended up stopping at Best Buy today to see if they had any of the new catalog HD DVD movies that came out today (they did not...), but I ended up picking up the PS3 Stranglehold CE because it was the last one left. Since I didn't have the PS3 $10 coupon on me, is BB good with bringing the receipt and the coupon back for a price adjustment, or am I SOL? If not, not a huge deal, but it would be nice. Thanks.

[Sinful Sam]

Naruto Rise of a Ninja was did not have the 20% off. :(

[ratzombie]

I'm really confused, I went down to Target this afternoon and they had a few copies of COD4 available. It scanned up as $60.00, and the employee showed me the current ad and it didn't have COD4 in it at all.

So I'm home, and I realize now that the sale price isn't available until Weds. but why was the game not advertised at all?

This really sucks, as I called Target this morning and had them hold a copy of COD4 for me... I would of just called Best Buy and picked up the game there as they did have it for $37.99 but it was obviously all sold out by the time I made it down there.

...do you just have a different ad than the regular one speedy?

[Fzyde]

EDIT: Nevermind. The reply was intended for another thread. Oops!

[KoalaBob]

I don't know if this price change has been mentioned, but my local Targets dropped the price of Madden 2008 (360) to 29 dollars and 99 cents. The sign read "Price Drop", by the by.

NO.

I have the regular ad.


It's just that everyone glossed over what I put in my very first line of my Target post:


Got the Target circular for 12/23/07 - 12/29/07 in my hands.

Please be aware of Store Note #1 below

Please be aware of the following:

All DVD AND SALE prices listed are advertised as Available WEDNESDAY 12/26/07
Call of Duty 4 is RIGHT on Page #1 underneath the $37 price tag in the upper right hand corner.

The caveat is that that price does not go into effect until 12/26/07.

[speedy1961]

can't seem to find the advertisement for CoD and AC from BB, anyone wanna point me to the page its on in the ad?

Page #48 (back page) // Upper left hand side of page

[OverThaLine]

Ordered COD4 for PS3 for 37.99 at BB for store pickup, off to get it now! Thanks Speedy!

[gusgus]

Thank you and feel better!

[myqq]

Thank you Speedy! Happy Holidays to you and pls take some time to rest and feel better.

[ratzombie]

NO.

Yeah, sorry speedy I didn't see the "WEDNESDAY 12/26/07" part until I got home. :lol:

They hid it very well in the ad! I felt like an idiot when I was there because I was like "Well... I could of sworn I saw it in the ad!" And I got a little speech about "Ads end on Saturday so if you saw the ad yesterday then blah blah blee blah." :lol:

[mikeyle]

assassins creed for the 360 is also $37 at best buy, not just for the ps3, bought it yesterday.

[CocheseUGA]

Yes, someone found it necessary to make a whole thread about it.

[Chronis]

Is only the normal Assassin's Creed on sale at BB or is the limited edition also on sale?

[jchasse]

Is Assassin’s Creed on sale for $37.99 for the Xbox 360 as well at Best Buy or is it only on sale for the PS3?

I just bought it as a gift and wanted to see if I can bring it in and price match...
I just picked it up Assassin’s Creed (360) $37.99 my local BB.
Could be a YMMV but worth going in and checking out.

Actually I just did a quick check and it is listed on the BB site for $37.99

[Chronotrigga]

So wait, when can you buy Super Mario Galaxy (for $37) at Target? Is it today, tommorow, or after christmas?

[CocheseUGA]

Tomorrow. Be sure to get there early, the demand will be sky-high, I'm sure.

[speedy1961]

Regular version from what I see.

[speedy1961]

Never a problem my friend.

Glad I could clear it up a bit.

[KingBroly]

yeah...I tried the same thing of COD4 at Target, but found out it was on Wednesday. Good thing Best Buy had it on sale today, so I went and got it there.

[SR388]

Thanks for the tips speedy!!

I picked up My copy of COD4 for 35.99 and a Xbox live card for 44.38 thanks to price matching the BB cuopon at CC. I had them price match the Target cupon for the live card.

Now I dont have to worry about waking up earlyon wed, trying to make sure they dont sell out of COD4(unlikely after seeing how many copies of the game we got in at the EB i worked at last week).

Merry Christmas Yall!

[PRican25]

Just wanted to say thanks for posting the great deals this week and merry christmas

[shrike4242]

Couple of additions to the sale pricing at Target:

1600 point XBLM card - $17.88
12+1 month XBL card - $44.88

[The Sailerman]

Question. I have never tried price matching at a store before. If I go to Best Buy to PM a game in the Target ad, do I have to go to the Customer Service desk, or can the cashier do it?

Thanks for the help!

[bobthecat23]

wait so will there be rockband tomarow at BB?

[zandrolouie]

If you bring the ad, you can PM at the regular registers too.

[zandrolouie]

I also wanted to add, that I had a super CAG deal yesterday. I ordered CoD4 and the 1600 MS Points at BB.com for $37 and $17 respectively. On my confirmation email it said that if they don't give me my items in 1 minute after confirmation of online order number, BB will deduct $10 from your total. I go to BB store to pickup...and my order is nowhere in sight. So they gather my order and then I remind them of the $10. I was so shocked to see my receipt as I was leaving. The total was only $37 plus tax for the 2 items. They only charged me $10 for CoD4 (X360) :bouncy:

[lainey]

thanks! will be looking for COD4 tomorrow.

[Veronica Mars]

For A.Creed, Is only the ps3 version on sale?
I thought both were.

[Halo05]

NFS Prostreet is tempting at those Target prices. I'll have to check out some reviews.

EDIT - Duh, I forgot, get well soon Speedy, your work here is appreciated.

[Fzyde]

Ah man Call of Duty 4 (PS3) is no longer on sale at BestBuy (I checked the price online). That won't stop me from going to the store later today (12/26) though and hope maybe it's still listed $37.99 in the store and use the $10 of any PS3 game coupon. Cross fingers.

If not I guess I'd just PM the Target price + %10 off. It's not $30 (inc.tax), but it's still alot cheaper than usual.

;)

[dank]

finally a proud owner of super mario galaxy. thanks speedy

[m3g4t0ky0]

I second this. I also managed to get the Pre-Sell Coin as well. :D Thanks a ton speedy!

[Chronotrigga]

Yay! Got SPM today. Thanks a lot! :) I woke up at 6:45 and headed out to Target. Upon arrival, there were tons of cars. But, when I went in it was all deserted. :D

[munch]

I'm going to try and pick up a Live pack at Target today. I'm glad I checked out this thread. Thanks Speedy!

[axnlitobun]

How come smackdown vs raw 08 for the ps3 on target site is not on sale and the xbox 360 is on sale for $37???

[dmaul1114]

Swung by Target around 10 and picked up Call of Duty 4 for $37 and Heroes Season 1 for $19. Wasn't as crowded as I was expecting, given this Target is attached to a mall.

Thanks for the ads Speedy!

[jdeluis]

Stop by Target today to pick up Xbox Live Service cards with gift cards and they had none in stock. I asked on of the employees who told me they did not recieve any cards at all including the Xbox point cards.

The only new thing I saw was that they had for GTA IV for preorder on the xbox for $10 and it included a free Skin for your xbox.

[thisjustanother]

i bought COD4 i beleive it was on the black friday sale thing for 48 bux, well, i lost the reciept, i payed in cash. am i screwed if i wanted to buy it for 38 at best buy. would target have the sale in their system?

[cromico]

Picked up COD4 for 360. went this morning, store was packed with moms trying to get all the 50% off xmas items. I did manage to pick up a mr. potato head santa for 2.50 :)

[Armenius]

Well, finally got Blue Dragon from the CC that just opened here today. Also picked up Fable and Eternal Sunshine. Pretty good catch today.

[speedy1961]

I'm sure it's in their system but how to access it will be the question.

Also, you paid in cash which broadens the search parameters exponentially.

Unless you find a manager who is extremely sympathetic to your cause and be willing to initiate an 'eyeballs only" search of thousands of receipts, I'm afraid you'll be shot down.

[speedy1961]

finally a proud owner of super mario galaxy. thanks speedy

You guys are quite welcome!

[thisjustanother]

ehh, guess i am still happy to get the game at 48. its a great game. so thanks speedy for the answer, much appreciated.

[chipotleattack]

Did anybody get the Target ad today? I was looking for it so I could pricematch at BB but there wasn't one in the paper.

Can I just take a printout of the price on the website?

[xxtheycallmedxx]

Just got back from best buy and COD 4 (ps3) rang up as $59.99...is it $37.99 online only? The store was so packed I was about to try and find a circular to see for myself.In the end I just said nevermind,but did this happen to anyone else ?

[xxtheycallmedxx]

;)

I shoulda read this before I posted...or before I went out in the rain specifically to get COD4 for ps3 at BB.I was gonna use the $10 off coupon (original so no chance of getting turned down) and a $5 gc I got when I bought DQM:Joker a few weeks ago.I would have been able to get it for $22.99 b4 tax....oh well....

[ratzombie]

Bought COD4 today, got it at Best Buy when I went to Target they were all sold out. Luckily Best Buy restocked their COD4s as the day before they were completely sold out.

[XskylineX]

Got the last Prostreet from Target. Thanks!

[pinoyboy]

I did in store pick up yesterday for call of duty. They took longer than a minute to get it, so I actually got it for $27:)

[ryosnk]

How much would it come up too at cc with a price match on the cod4 at $38?

[freedom_fries_for_me]

[SpitFire158]

Nice.

Where did you get the sig from???

[kobeisgod]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but at least on bestbuy.com the version of stranglehold for ps3 on sale for 39.99 is the collector's edition. May make a difference to some since it come's with the Hardboiled movie. I like this game.

[hec204]

Just got ProStreet for $37 not bad...
Played it right now didn't turn out as bad as I thought

Good deal. That's almost as much as you pay for one Blu-Ray movie. You're getting the game for a few dollars. =P

[BigPoppy]

Just went to my local target and there were 45 copies of super mario galaxy.:hot:

[supersvegeta]

I pricematched COD4 at Walmart for $37 so thanks a bunch.:applause:

[CocheseUGA]

Picked up SMG, COD4, NFSPS and Stuntman ($30 clearance). Am returning PS due to the subpar reviews.

[jmillion]
