Folks, please be aware that for health reasons I will be taking a two week break from posting and all forms of work starting January 4th,2008. This break will remove me from the state in which I reside and into an atmosphere more conducive to my rebuilding both my mental and physical state (both of which are at all-time lows at this point in time). I expect to resume full posting duties on January 18th, 2008 barring any new job offers or positions which may come my way.

I will attempt to do as much as I can before that time but for the first time in 3 years there will a hard and fast break in the flow of information that I provide and it will be one NOT caused by the overlords at Circuit City.

Hope you're doing all right and get right soon. I Know all too well about how your mental and physical health can go straight to hell. I'm about to go into the hospital to get part of my foot removed, so in the new year, we'll both be better.

I say you'll be better before I am.

Blue Dragon is going to be really tempting at that price. I'm sure the answer is yes, but I can purchase it now and just have them pricematch when the sale starts, even if they are OOS, yes?

Damn you CoD4 for teasing me for the past 2 weeks for $40 dollars at various outlets. I've been able to hold out, but probably not any longer.

Thanks as always Speedy and take a well deserved break!

Cow_tipper
12-16-2007, 06:19 PM
Wow, stores have been practically giving CoD4 away the last few weeks. I'm not sure why they need to, considering it was the top selling game in November.

cdeener
12-16-2007, 06:20 PM
Thank you for your hardwork my good man. I think I will take the 20 buck Gift Card I get from my job to Target and get me one of those Xbox Marketplace Points cards since I haven't had any points in a while.

CoD4 $37, hot price! Thanks Speedy.

I have a question, I noticed that CoD4 doesn't go on sale until the 26th. Is it possible that (if I get the Target ad on December 23rd) I can price match it at Best Buy or Circuit City before Christmas?

YMMV. I'd wager that they check the date and refuse it. Give it a try if it isn't a hassle.

guyinga
12-16-2007, 06:50 PM
Blue Dragon and maybe Manhunt 2 Wii look tempting at those prices....I'm hoping the Best Buy ad will have some stuff as well. I may forego both with the Gamestop B2G1F sale going on that week too.

Hmmm Smackdown vs Raw 08 is VERRRRRRRRRRY tempting since I already have COD 4. Wonder what Best Buy has.

Awesome Speedy, in for Blue Dragon and COD4. Welcome back!!!

FatoonsBaby710
12-16-2007, 09:44 PM
By any chance do you think Amazon will bring the price down on COD4 as well because they are partners with target?

$19.99. Not much of savings, but the points are like scrip in that they have a set value and don't really depreciate like games do. If you use BB's gameinformer coupons, it's $14.99, but they haven't issued coupons for a while, so maybe this'll be better. It's up to you.

Folks, please be aware that for health reasons I will be taking a two week break from posting and all forms of work starting January 4th,2008. This break will remove me from the state in which I reside and into an atmosphere more conducive to my rebuilding both my mental and physical state (both of which are at all-time lows at this point in time). I expect to resume full posting duties on January 18th, 2008 barring any new job offers or positions which may come my way.


Take good care!

CoD4 $37, hot price! Thanks Speedy.

I have a question, I noticed that CoD4 doesn't go on sale until the 26th. Is it possible that (if I get the Target ad on December 23rd) I can price match it at Best Buy or Circuit City before Christmas?

You can pre-buy and Target will price match (or adjust) to it's own ads.

Oh, nice. So they'll refund me the difference on the 26th?

does it matter when I buy it?

thanksThey'll let you do it as a return/rebuy, which I've had them do up to 14 days after the original purchase. They don't like doing it, though I've not see any issues personally with it the few times I've done it.

I've always had better luck PMing Target's ads elsewhere and getting an additional 10% of the difference.

The only 10% off you'll get is of the difference amount, which is $1....so you'll get an extra 10 cents off, i believe. The total should be $37.89+tax.

Does your Best Buy do it differently?

Well I'm pretty sure that if COD4 is 36.99 at Target and $37.99 at BB then they will PM to $36.99 and then take an additional 10% off so it would be about $33.00 and change before taxes. At least thats how I think they do it. I know thats how they did it when I PMed BioShock.

You have simply helped too many people to not have a lot of good karma. I am sure it will be arriving soon.

Anyway, thanks again, and definitely take care of yourself. I share the thought of an earlier poster, that i would rather have you in good health than see any more advertisements. Your health comes first, always.

I look forward to seeing your posts when you are feeling better, if you feel you want to continue posting after your break. take care and be safe.

If anyone wants CoD4 at BB, now is the time to buy it.

Then PM at Target (price is $37, right?).

Meaning,

$59.99 @BB -$22.99 difference = $37.

Now, ask for 110% PM, making it: $22.99 + 10%= $25.29 back


You'll get CoD4 for $34.70 like this. Maybe my wording is a bit confusing, but that's the method.

You'll get CoD4 for $34.70 like this. Maybe my wording is a bit confusing, but that's the method.Your wording makes sense to anyone who's done this dozens of times in the past. ;)

Anytime you see a sale like this for an item that's significantly off the retails price, you always want to buy it up front at full retail and do the 110% PM after the fact. Assuming you can pull this off, of course.

Blue Dragon is another candidate for this, being $31.99, where you'd get it for $29.19 after PM.

Yeah, they both have the 110% guarantee. I don't know if it's just my region but I prefer Circuit City much more when it comes to this policy because they'll give me the extra 10% with no hassles, whereas Best Buy forces me to buy the item at regular price at the normal checkout then come to customer service to get the extra 10% adjustment (and that's to say nothing of the fact that they make me fill out a long PM form which often ends up being for naught once they call the competitor and claim the item's not in stock there).

That would be considered combining two offers, so the answer should be no. But you could get lucky and the employee serving you may be very generous or very stupid. It's always worth a try to a CAG -- the worst they could do to you is say no.

Activision probably realizes that in by Jan/Feb everyone will have moved onto another game so they need to sell as much as they can while COD4 is the game of the hour.

I won't be a jerk since you're new. The price wont take effect until the 23rd.

On another note, I'm tempted to be very un-CAGlike, and just buy Simpsons and Assassins Creed now, and then PM them for 110% the difference, only saving an extra 4.40 as opposed to saving 20.00 with the 10.00 coupons. Heh..I'm impatient.

Sorry if it's been asked before, but can the Xbox 360 version of Assassins Creed be bought for $38?

Only the PS3 version is advertised (or will be advertised) for that price.

You know whats annoying. I just bought a PS3 w/Assassins Creed&Ninja Gaiden Sigma from BB on Tuesday. Oh well. $20 Difference isn't going to change much, plus I am on Xmas Break, so every extra day I have to play counts!

Hey guys I thought i'd inform the PS2/PS3 owners that I found NeoGeo Battle Coloseeum, King of Fighters XI, and Fire Pro Wrestling in the front row games for 10 bucks each. I'll post a pic up of NGBC in a sec.

I don't know if this a YMMV but my best buy in Westland, MI had 27 Wii's as of 12:22pm today (and they were going hella fast!).

I'll definitely snag SvR '08 and possibly Mario Galaxy at Target for $37, thanks for the heads up on the price.

It was speculated last week that Best Buy would have Wiis on 12/23 to beat the scalpers..but turns out it wasn't confirmed in the ad. Best buy normally sells them on Sundays though, so it may be worth a shot.

If I had to take a guess though, whether they have them or not tomorrow, there will still be a line at 8 a.m. Good Luck either way.

Ugh.. annoying, guess this is what I get for buying games right when they come out.

Super Mario Galaxy...$54 shipped on Amazon.com, thankfully due to their screwups I was refunded $16. WWE SvR2008...$60 shipped from Amazon, thankfully I was refunded $8 in total. And I paid $45 for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and almost $50 for The Simpsons Game on eBay last month.

Picked up Call of Duty 4 for $40 on Amazon last week, so I'm probably gonna get Need for Speed ProStreet and I'm thinking about Assassin's Creed & Buzz the Mega Quiz.

If you mean you have a $5 RZ certificate, that might be an issue, many times the CSR tries to count the RZ as if you got it for $5 cheaper (like a coupon) instead of a gift certificate-- so say you bought a $59.99 game with a $5 RZ cert, it shows you paid $54.99 and you would get the difference based on that.

I've seen people get shot down and I have been once or twice. Never bothered to argue it but I never use RZ certificates on stuff I think I may be pricematching.

If you mean a gift card, yeah, you should be fine. Have fun with the whole "going into Best Buy on December 23" thing. ;)

If you want to be "safe" just take the game to the customer service desk for the price match and buy it then. Show ad. Ask for a match. They may call the other store to verify. If all goes well you just get charged what Target had it for.

Keep in mind despite price matches being policy you may/will hear tons of reasons why they can't match it. But if the game's in stock there's no reason you shouldn't get it at the advertised price.

I'm a little disappointed in the deals the stores are offering though. No real standouts. I was hoping for another 360 deal like the free extra controller one at CC on BF. Really wanted to replace my old one w/ a new Elite.

I may cave and get one anyway though. I dont have Forza yet, and I'm not sure how long the "Holiday" bundle will be around.

Does anyone have any inkling as to how long the 360 Holiday Bundle will be around for?

I'm sure you guys already knew, but you can actually order many of these deals (CC and Best Buy) off their website. You don't even have to go to the store. The shipping is free as well (although sloooow).

Anyway, I'm pumped since I don't have a CC locally. I missed out on their Call of Duty 4 a few weeks ago (getting it at BB locally today tho), but this week I was able to grab Blue Dragon! Yay! I was surprised it was actually in stock.

Just an FYI members of the IGN boards are saying they have tried to get The Simpsons Game and Assassin's Creed for 360 at the sale price and are getting turned down because it's only on sale for PS3, so good luck if you're able to get it to work.

The picture on those two games (as well as Madden and CoD 4 for 360) is very confusing. They have the two PS3 and 360 games shown with the sale price in the middle, but then both the PS3/360 system logos below the games giving the impression it's both versions of each game when it's not.

Edit: Since the first edition of the Sunday paper comes out on Saturday in St. Louis, one of the members of the boards there that works at a grocery store posts the ads with pictures on Saturday.

graf1k
12-23-2007, 11:58 AM
Yeah I'm looking at the ad now and it is a bit confusing, especially why they would only put the 360 version of madden and cod4 on sale and only the PS3 versions of Assassins Creed & The Simpsons game on sale in the first place. Too bad too, at that price I probably would have bought The Simpsons Game.

And here I was kicking myself about not taking advantage of COD4 for $40.00 but $37.00? That’s just awesome. BB PM here I come, it should put it at around…$35.00 after taxes.

/edit: thanks Speedy, I hope you feel better.

How does $37 + Tax becomes $35 ?

And paying $40 on Amazon is about the same as paying $37 at stores since there's tax and Amazon does not charge shipping or tax, and you're wasting gas if you do go to a store.

I don't think I'll be able to pass up Assassin's Creed for only $28 after coupon. I'll probably get a BB gift card or two for Christmas, so I'll definitely be going later this week.

Stranglehold for $30 is really tempting too. Does anyone know if it's worth it or not? I really liked the demo, and I'm interested in seeing Hard Boiled, but the game is supposedly really short and repetitve. Any opinions?

In other news, I got Assassin's Creed 360 from BB ($38), and Blue Dragon from CC ($32), both via their website. CC is giving free shipping, while I had to pay $2.49 for BB's shipping.

This is great. $38 for CoD4 (PS3). I may get it (I'm going to try it out at friends first).

Any difference in technical quality(grahpics,lag,etc.) between the 360 & ps3 version of stranglehold?

Someone really needs to start a website that view has head to head reviews/comparisons of multi-platform games.Ign and Gamespot gave the ps3 and 360 version identical reveiws,which means either there exactly the same,or the difference were an oversight on there parts.

So the BB ad just lists Ass. Creed for the PS3 for $37.99, but it is also that price in their system for the 360 version correct?

Just went and picked up Assassin's Creed for $27.99 and Ghost Recon 2 for $29.99 (both for PS3) after the $10 off coupons. Also price-adjusted Call of Duty 4 (PS3) which I had bought for $34.99 (after the $10 off coupon) and got it for $27.99 :) I love this site.
