Yet another GCO deal on Buy.com. Check your e-mails.

4/29 EDIT: As reported by a number of users, myself included, this deal has been extended and renewed. Even if you already used the $25 off, check your account. You might have another discount waiting for you.

5/2 EDIT: The coupon continues to work on some accounts, so make sure to check yours.

Buy.com is having a deal where you get $25 off $75 when you pay with Google Checkout.

Check your emails to see if you get this deal!


There is a possibility that you must have taken advantage of the previous two Buy.com and Google Checkout offers in order to qualify for this one.

Is there any way to have multiple items, with one being from a marketplace seller, in your cart and still be able to use GCO? What I want is available from a marketplace seller, but once I start adding in fillers the GCO buttons turns gray. :(

Slade
04-15-2008, 11:16 PM

Doesn't work like that....its not a coupon code.Some one have to essentially give you their account (and you edit the info) for you do to it.

For those who received the email,when do this expire ?

I have it on one of my gco accounts,but didnt get the email.

Thanks in advance.

Probably, but half the time, they get posted in another section, end up being ignored, and someone posts it here, anyway. Seeing as Buy sells video games, at least, you know you can buy video games with it.

Picked up Burnout Paradise for the 360 and Overlord for the 360, came out to $53.98 AC, shipped. Now, I'll take back the $20 + tax copy I picked up at GS.

Also, I didn't get the email about this coupon either. I went to Buy.com, stuck more than $75 into my cart, clicked on the Google Checkout link, and signed into Google Checkout. Once I did that, the coupon was sitting there. Same as the $20 off $80 and $20 off $60 coupons before it, never saw any email from Google Checkout, though it's been there each time over the last month.

dang it the problem is Buy.com rarely puts any games on sale. If only they were honoring Amazon/CC's Condemned 2 for $40 this week...I could have had something to work with here. Most of these games that I haven't picked up yet for $60 retail still aren't worth it after the discount.

I think I'm bled dry on games I'm willing to pay that much for after this third round of discounts

just picked them up, got 8000 points for 82.93. i wish the 1600 point cards came with free shipping so i could have got 6400 for 55 plus tax. But what can i say, they have a fixed price and any discount is good.

It was "Buy Now" when I put it in my shopping cart just yesterday and now it's 4/25 release date?

Actually, the one I left in my shopping cart is still standard and has 1-2 day shipping estimate on it. While the Persona 3 has the preorder now and be one of the first to receive thing under it.

chances are this coupon may extend past the expiration date stated, I know one of the previous ones did because I used it 3 days past expiration. If it does, I'll pick up GTAIV and something else.

superaven
04-16-2008, 08:55 PM
I never received an e-mail about this or the previous $20 off $80+ when using GCO deals. However, both times I've tried it and had the discount applied. So even if you don't get the e-mail try it. It may very well work. It didn't appear for me until I logged in my Google account, then on refresh appeared.

Judging from other post though it maybe YMMV.

Update: Interesting I just went back to Buy.com to look at the Rock band wireless guitar for the 360 (http://www.buy.com/prod/rock-band-official-wireless-guitar-for-xbox-360/q/loc/108/206855118.html). It ships from and sold by BeachAudio and is under $75. When I went through GCO it gave me $20 off $60+ discount. Interesting cause I thought the discounts didn't transfer to Buy's reselling partners. So it looks like I'll get the wireless Strat for $58.45. Schwuite.

Thanks so much in advance.

I noticed that when using this special Google Checkout, shipping takes a lot longer to deliver. I ordered a brand new iPod Nano and a refurbished one and its taking 1+ week just to process the order and another couple days to deliver.

Same here. Buy.com usually ships out their orders within several hours or a day at the longest for me...but when I used this promotion, its been 4 days and they still haven't shipped it yet :( Oh well, I guess I'll keep on waiting.

I never get these coupons either and have been a regular buy.com customer for a few years now using their checkout and also google checkout a few times. I receive their email advertisements about 3 times a week but never any coupons. :(

i found out in another forum that it is possible to be eligible for gco w/o the email. you just need to click gco as your option and on the page it will automatically takes things off IF YOU QUALIFY. i was able to get $20 off $80 purchase....not $25 but close enough...i purchased this past Monday...apparently some have problems receiving emails for gco even if their account is credited with coupon. if don't qualify you could always cancel/not confirm the order before the final purchase.

This looks like a nice filler for a 60$ game with the rebate and all:

http://www.buy.com/prod/xfx-xgear-pc-ps2-wireless-gamepad/q/loc/108/206256813.html?adid=17735

According to the pics and the reviews it includes an adapter to hook up any wired PSone/PS2 controller via USB. Must make purchase by the 30th for the rebate though.

What will suck is if you order GTA4 SE with the coupon and get a cancellation email shortly after because they can't fulfill all the orders. Good luck getting the 25 off 75 coupon back if that happens...

Maybe one of your items is a preorder

I have some trouble with my combinations

Haruhi LE 1 (my one only remaining) = $40
P3 FES (A hassle because i already opened my amazon.com copy, so I would have to return buy.com's) = $30
Total: $70..need $5 filler.

OR
The world ends with you = $40.
but i have $5 over...

Why the X360 SE is $8 cheaper? I thought the X360 should be "hotter" than the PS3 due to the initial exclusive on-line contents?

I'm stuck! I don't know which platform to get it for... $8 cheaper you know...

bigdaddybruce44
04-29-2008, 10:23 AM
If one has a choice between the 360 and PS3, the 360 version is obviously the way to go. Do you want access to DLC that will give 10+ hours or gameplay?

held off on pre-ordering gta4 to take advantage of the $25 discount off buy.com today. it's so annoying though that pretty much anything videogame related under $25 gets charged a $6 shipping fee, even if your total order is greater than $25 (unlike amazon).

It made things difficult trying to figure out what was the best $16 to add to a regular version of GTA4 to maximize the discount so I just sprang for the special edition after seeing it got a discount today.

Yeah, the price is making me leaning toward the X360 version (i want the SE, not the regular). However, i can't stop thinking why the X360 version is cheaper... I think i'm being paranoid, is it because there's something "wrong" with the X360 version?

Never mind, the price of the X360 SE is back up at $90.

Wow, I skimmed through this thread several times before finally checking by adding stuff to my cart and attempting to purchase. Turns out I had the $25/$75 coupon in there all along. Thanks to the OP for this!

Got me:

Transcend 4GB SDHC Class 6 Secure Digital High Capacity Card $22.95
Grand Theft Auto IV - PS3 $59.99
Shipping & Handling (Budget: 7 to 9 business days) : $0.00
Tax (CA) : $6.01
Google Checkout & Buy.com $25 Bonus - Applies to first order over $75 for select customers. Bonus may not appear on Buy.com emails. -$25.00

Total: $63.95

Now I can toss out my slow ass 512mb SD card I've been using to backup my PS3 game saves.

I have to chime in as this was a freakin stellar surprise deal for me.
Mind you I am still waiting for the game, but I'm a relatively patient man ;)

I too thought my 25/75 expired, but as it turns out it just sat out there.
I almost had used it, but I knew GTA IV was coming and thats all I really wanted.

Sure enough playing around with a buy.com cart I saw this come up and tried to find an add to hit $75. I needed to buy a book for work and it had it at the best price too anywhere (locally or online) - ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed.

Short story long, I got the best price for the book for work which I'll get reimbursed for, and I got GTA IV on the same purchase, all no ship, no tax.

Net net, my GTA IV is $34.99 :bouncy:
'course slow free ship, I hope to join the rank and file next week.
