They're coupons, not ads.

And they should be giving these away by the beginning of August, basically think of it as a catalog showing some games coming out this year, with only 2 decent coupons out of the bunch.

On a rack in the electronics section, they had what is called the "Kmart Entertainment Guide". It has a picture of Lego Batman on the cover. It is a free hand-out similar to "The Guide" at Gamestop with two pages of coupons which I scanned and included in the first post. Going by the dates on the coupons (08/01/08-08/31/08), I imagine my store put these out early.

Great price for Motorstorm, but I have a question. Does the copy of Motorstorm that came with the PS3 come with the original case and manual? The only thing stopping me from getting it for that price is the chance that Gamestop could have it on sale used one day for like $10.

Darkflight
07-22-2008, 03:25 AM
Also keep in mind, the back of these coupons have the K logo in a Red box and its feels like cardstock paper so printing / copying may not work too well.

I grabbed a couple copies of the coupons in the entertainment section of the store.

The copy of motorstorm that was packing in with the ps3, is the same as retail, minus having, not for resale on it.

You can get it right now at Gamestop using the coupon and Edge for $14. I actually picked it up when they had the better coupon (35%) and it was $13.

If you shop around you can find a non-bundle version at GS, that's what I did.

Camwi
07-22-2008, 10:24 AM
Resistance is worth the full $60, so it's a STEAL at $20.

Motorstorm I think I'll pick up if I can get the coupon. Thanks, OP!

That's pretty much the best I can do with my scanner. Just an FYI though, the back of the coupons are red and have some K-mart info on them (I'll post pictures later tonight if you want me too). I can't imagine these books will be hard to get though once all the stores put them out, so I'd save my ink if I were you.

Is resistance worth it for single player? With COD 4 and Warhawk I have no use for another multiplayer shooter, but if the campaign is good I may pick it up...

07-22-2008, 09:16 PM
went to K-mart, got the entertainment guide... now the waiting begins. if my kmart doesn't get any copies of resistence or warhawk im gonna have to burn the place down... again

crazyj
07-22-2008, 10:02 PM
yeah I hate the K-marts in california, they never update their inventory for fuck's sake and their prices.

Last time I went to try and get a PS2 game that was suppose to be on clearance and the price didnt ring up properly and there was some problem so the guy just manually set the sticker price...lame.

Not really because it will only take you a couple of days to play through it so you be better off renting it instead of buying it.

The multiplayer is actually quite fun. The chimera / human differences keep it interesting, and it's relatively well balanced.

The single-player is fantastic. The storyline and level designs are all great, plus there's plenty of the usual skill points and such that Insomniac does such an awesome job with.

07-23-2008, 01:01 AM
Hmm, this might be the pricepoint I pick this up at. I didn't really like the demo much and have CoD4 and Warhawk to suit my online needs but I wouldn't mind seeing what the single player is like since many have said the demo was not a good representation of the full game and the sequel looks to be one of the best games this year.

Looked through my kmart for the coups yesterday but only saw a sheet of similar looking coupons for housewares. I'm gonna check the other kmart in my area out today. I'm interested in resistance as well but the price doesn't drop until next week?

How is KMart with returns and rebuys?

I went yesterday and noticed only one copy of Motorstorm and Resistance in stock, so in hopes of avoiding the red band GH edition labels, I was thinking of picking them up and then returning when the price has dropped and the coupon has kicked in to re-buy them.

sixspeednissan
07-23-2008, 05:47 PM
I went to my Kmart this morning. They had a whole pile of the entertainment guide by the electronics dept. checkout. I imagine they will be getting a large stock of the greatest hits versions of the games before August 1st so I wouldn't buy a regular version now. They may claim its a different game and still charge you the full price.

JDLion
07-23-2008, 09:05 PM
I found only one copy of Resistance at the store near me and it was the one that didn't have the 9.5 out of 10 thing on the cover so I bought it. I'm going to return it and use the coupon when it's valid. I asked the manager if that's ok and he said as long as it's not open then it's fine.

neudog
07-23-2008, 10:13 PM
Went to check for clearance items at K-Mart and I finally saw a load of these still wrapped in cellophane behind the counter, so I'm guessing they aren't officially out at all K-Marts.

07-24-2008, 09:40 AM

Picked up the coupons from Kmart today. They had two copies of resistance left..I know the coupon starts Aug 1, but when do these games officially go GH? Kmart doesn't quite seem to be up on the videogame world...I can foresee a problem with the game ringing up full price before coupon...

There's also a coupon in there for $5 off God of War II...I never owned a PS2 and just bout the 80 gig...really looking forward to going back and playing I and II..

Dante Devil
07-25-2008, 08:34 PM
Thanks OP, went and picked up a copy of the guide. I was afraid they wouldn't have any or the clerk would give me a stupid look when I asked for a copy.

They only had one copy of Motorstorm, so I am hoping to pick it up without the greatest hits packaging, but if I can't, so what.

I believe August 27th was the announced Greatest Hits release date. However, Gamestop supposedly has already dropped the prices in their stores. I scored two E-Guides and saw one regular copy of Resistance that I hope to score. If not I'll settle for the burgandy GH case.

Does Kmart have scanners like TRU or Target? If so I'd be willing to go down and take a barcode and scan and see what comes up. Seems like a long time to wait till the 27th.

Checked my Kmart yesterday and I didn't see ANY of the games in the game case and the coupon book was nowhere to be found. :( However, since they have the titles in their ad this week, maybe they were holding some in the back.

07-27-2008, 11:45 AM
If anyone has an actual copy of this book (since I'm guessing there are two coupons in the book one for Resistance and one for Motorstorm) and it's an extra that you wouldn't mind sending to me via postal mail, please PM me. Thanks!

07-27-2008, 11:50 AM
No go. My Kmart price checked them and they were "$60." I had mentioned that they were supposed to be $30 and they were like "nope, they are still $60" and wouldn't budge.

I'm assuming all Kmarts are this way.

07-27-2008, 12:05 PM
Went to a Big Kmart near me, and they are 29.99. They are even in the Kmart Ads this week, says "new lower price" at 29.99. Look in the ad. Mine only had 2 of each title she tried to use the coupon and it of course wont work till 8/1 but wanted to see if she might override, they didnt but she wrapped them up with my name on them and said I could come back Friday and get them, nobody will put them out with her name on them she said. They were both 1st editions.

Cant wait, both 1st editions, for only 19.99. And I dont even own a PS3 yet.

KMart has the scanners. You may have to search a little for them, and they may not be in working order, but they're there.

I found the coupon book here in LA, but the stupid thing is that they don't have either Resistance or Motorstorm. It's just like Kmart to have coupons for items that they do not carry.

I'm wondering if people are taking all the coupon books at Kmarts. When this topic was first started my Kmart had at least 100 copies of the coupon book, and now it seems like everyone can't find it anywhere. I would hope that people aren't that broke as to try and sell the coupons on ebay for $5 bucks.

Same here. :bouncy: I rarely venture into Kmart since it's such a pit, especially the game section, but my last two visits have been sweet... this one and a few months ago when I got my 80GB PS3 along with a free game (Folklore).

I thought about posting this as a deal, but I guess it's better here. You can get Resistance/Motorstorm for about $10 if you go online and apply to get on Kmart's email list. They'll give you a $5 coupon, you have to spend over $50 though. Also, right now you can get a $5 reward for an over $50 purchase. So today I got Resistance for $15 and have $5 for a future purchase. That future purchase could be Motorstorm and some additonal items as you have to spend over $25. Yeah you gotta buy extra stuff, but if you wanna get some groceries or some extra games it's a pretty good deal.

Stopped my local K-Mart and they did not have any of the Game Guide Books. They did however have plenty of Resistance and Motorstorm. For those who were lucky enough to find the guide what does the front of it look like?

one kmart here has a whole stack of entertainment guides with coupons...ANother kmart has about 10 copies each of Motorstorm and Resistance not GH
The front of the Entertainement Guide with the coupons has Lego Batman and Robin on the front. send me a SASE I have a couple extra copies I can pull the coupons out of.

I went into KMart yesterday to pick Resistance up - coupon book is still sitting right there! They haven't updated the sticker prices with their games yet but they are updated in their system. I bought two Resistance games (one for my brother) each for 19.99. Great bargain!

I found the guide it had lego batman on the cover they were still shrink wrapped in bundles next to the counter I had the retarded guy there open one for me. I just picked a resistance, motor storm didn't look like my thang. Resistance was still marked 59.99! so $40 off is a sweet deal.

Got 2 copies of Resistance (1 for me and 1 for my brother). The first K-mart I went to did not have the Entertainment Guides but the second one did. Had no problems buying both copies at the same time with 2 separate coupons (does need to be separate transactions though).

Scored one of the 5 remaining yesterday. My wife went on the 31st not knowing the coupon began on Aug. 1st, so the coupon rang up not valid until Aug. 1st. I was worried that copies wouldn't be on shelves because the K-Mart is on the other side of town. Thanks again to all the CAG's who contributed to this info. It is much sweeter to pay $20 for games than $30.:D

For once, a K-Maret deal pulled through for me. The coupon books were on the counter next to the register, and they had at least 3 copies of every game (only there for Resistance, though), with no newly printed/etc red cases. I really don't care all that much, but if I have the option, I'd prefer the original.

Thanks for the info, OP. I was considering spending $30 on Resistance, but $20 is definitely the perfect price. Any VA CAGS on here, I was at the K-Mart on Hull St and Genito in Midlothian.

got the deal as well! the cashier straight up lied to me saying that they were out of the Resistance game and that they havent had them in a while. well, i kinda felt that he was lying and sure enough when i checked the case, a fresh copy of the game just mine for the taking. he prolly wanted this last copy coz i think he took it personal since i gave him 22 bucks and he didnt give me my change. lol i dint really care coz 22 bucks for an awesome game is a blessing... it wouldve made the deal sweeter if i put the guy in his place but i was just in such a good mood that i let it slide...

My copy of Motorstorm, and the other that was there, was shrinkwrapped.....seemed odd, but looked professionally done. Given how much of a mess a Kmart employee would have had with it.

Wow! I just opened my copy of Motorstorm and a Sony Branded DVD R was in the case rather than the game itself. I immediately called the store and the manager told me they don't shrinkwrap games if there's a problem with them being opened, and that they HAVE indeed had this situation occur frequently in the past. He told me they had previously issued returns but now their claims loss department told them for the customer to contact the manufacturer directly. I told him there was another copy in the same condition on the shelf as of yesterday when I purchased and he relcutlantly agreed to go back and check that copy for a blank disc.

I am waiting impatiently on the phone with Sony now.....

just got back from big k~ found both coupon and the game.

the game rang up $59.99. I told the cashier she needs to have the manager come and update the price. The cashier was scared to call the manager b/c this manager supposedly is real anal about things. But I insisted to have the manager called over.

Well, she did call but the manager did not even bother coming to the CS area. The manager called and said the price that rang up is the price and nothing she can do about it.

The CS personal tried to help but could not update the price w/o the manager so I bought game anyway and will go back some other time when that lazy ass manager is not around.

i just got back from Kmart with my copy of Resistance. Has this been ringing up for you guys @ 29.99 cuz mine rang up @ 59.99. I bought it anyway because I was in a hurry. Could it be a case of that store not updating their pricing? I'll probably take it back with ads from every store showing it for 20 bucks for an adjustment...any advice?

My store had signs up stating that Resistance was 29.99 from ~ 7/24 through 8/1. I bought my copy on 8/1 and the total came to 20.99 after tax. I guess your Kmart might not have gotten the memo about Resistance becoming a GH title as of last week.

a bit long but here goes..

went to the store this morning after calling 3 times (1 they hangd up, 2 my cell died, 3 got through) to make sure they had copies of resistance, which they did.

after the associate got the game and rang it out take a guess at the price(it wasnt GH pice, CAM dont these stores upated the prices).

i pointed it out to him to which he repelied cant do any thing even though i showed him the guide and said sony doesnt have GH games at full price and every other store in the area had it @ 29.99.

He couldnt do anything, so being upset i left the coupon behind to which he told me to take it with me even though there was 30 books on the desk and by the game case.

went to the service desk and asked to speak to a manager about the price.

he said he couldnt do anything but when i showed him the guide and said the priced dropped this past tueday(which it did). he went into the back and a few minutes later he said it should now ring up right. it did i used a coupon from a different book so i got it for $21 & change w/tax.

Funny is that this store is natorious for almost never giving out price adjustments.

Dont fuck with me big K dont fuck with "The Game Genie":lol::lol::lol:

I checked one of the BB's near me and they didn't have any left, or maybe I didn't look hard enough. I don't feel like hunting this one down... between Resistance and Motorstorm from this deal and the B1G1 TRU glitch, I'm good for a while. But yeah, that is a good deal though, thanks for the tip.

The problem with these stores is that they're not activating their price drops. Every day the stores get PLCs (price list changes) that are to be activated and marked on the counters .... the problem is that the store will either not do them (as in thabizzle's problem here) or they activate and don't change the prices on the counter.

This is an issue that stems from the top and "the big red K" needs to chop the head off this beast and get new upper management who can crack the whip on these shlubs running these stores and make them accountable.

Whoever else is having the problem of the price ringing up, tell them that the PLC was pushed down last week. If that doesn't get you anywhere, ask for the corporate number so that you can explain the situation (since the price drop is not only company wide, but industry wide).

As a quick FYI, my wife works for K-Mart as a UPM (unit and pricing manager) and it's her job to update these prices. She kicks ass at what she does but only works one day a week at it so many of the lazy-asses at her store just save up their changes for her (can't do 5 days of changes in one day). And yes, her store did have them marked correctly.

I learned this lesson the hard way with Half-Life 2 at Circuit City. I have since taught myself to check to make sure it's the foil type wrapping and NOT shrinkwrap. Shrinkwrap = some ghetto asswipe, Foil = real game, not returned.

I hope you can get it squared away. I have no idea why they have you calling Sony, as it's clearly Kmart's fault and not Sony's... Kmart accepted the return. I would return it to another Kmart, as defective.

of course my kmart had the coupons and a copy of resistance.. But of course it was marked at 59.99. Complain to the man in the electronics department showing them their own catalog that showed Resistance as a Greatest Hit but he didnt know what a Greatest Hit was so he asked some other lady who was a total bi*ch to me saying that if the register was ringing up as $59.99 then that was the price I was goin to pay.. I gave up on those 2 low lifes and went to customer service and talked to the manager there who did what he could but still said that the game was $59.99 because the PLC was not adjusted yet. He said the game should ring up cheaper because i showed him the catalog that had Resistance as a Greatest Hit and he agreed with me. He said the PLCs should be adjusted today but they werent and to come back Thursday. Guh.. On a brighter note I complained about the one lady there who was very rude. He told me they had complaints about her already and he would have a talk with her *aka firing hopefully*

Thanks OP. Picked up the last copy of Resistance and the next to last copy of Motorstorm at the Des Plaines, IL store. Both games actually rang up as $59.99 but I nicely told the employee that these should be $29.99. She pulled a sheet out from under the counter (I'm guessing its for pricing updates) to check if either game was cheaper now and she updated the price of both games to $29.99. Had a hard time finding the Entertainment guide at first but if anyone is wondering, its in the electronics department by the cash wrap in a small box with some other clearance games. After coupons I got both games for just under $44.

yeah...i went to 2 different k-marts (Jax, FL) over the weekend and there were NO employees to be found to open the glass case at either location. i had to search up and down the aisles and finally found some lady stocking shelves to get somebody over the pa system after 15-20 minutes.
anyways...the first k-mart had stacks of coupon books, but no Resistance. at the 2nd k-mart again they had stacks of coupons and about 3-4 copies of resistance. the game was priced at $59.99, but rang up as $29.99. total was 21.39 after coupon.

Thanks for the support...! The manager was nothing short of insulting, acknowledging the problem had happened in the past at that location, all the while not being concerned at all that it was HIS store that inevitably sold the faulty product. I had to spend 45 minutes on the phone, mostly on hold, with Sony, before they gave me the proper return information, all the while Kmart skirted the issue when I called back, and he told me, after a ten minute wait mind you, that the other shrinkwrapped copy, as he said, did in fact have a game inside the box.

There are two Kmarts in my area (near Baltimore). The first one had no Resistance.. The second one had ONE copy of Resistance and it wasn't the "Greatest Hits" packaging. It rang up at 59.99 and the cashier would not price adjust. I found the manager and she too refused. Unreal. Not to mention both stores are dreary and tired, and I usually never go into an Kmarts.

This latest go-round only confirms my feelings for this chain of stores.

But I will try again as the electronics clerk at the first Kmart told me they should get more copies of Resistance in soon.

Of course I never would have known about this 10 dollar off coupon if it weren't for you wonderful CAG'ers. I have been waiting for a good price on Resistance, and I really enjoy coming across posts like this one.

Got it around 1 pm @ a Big K Mart
Had 2-3 left, they had the game book coupons all over the place.
I first went and check my self because clerk was busy, saw nothing, went back to the clerk open the coupon book pointed to game (resistance) and ask if they have it in stock. we both went to the ps3 section,
she (look like 50 years or so) proceeded to open the glass door. move some games around and found some, automatically she said outloud if its Greatest Hits then its half-off. went to register rang up 29.99, used coupon rang to 21.39 withtax.

ohh and by the way bbvideos tiv is $16.00

and it looks like they just added Greatest Hits logo sticker to the cover.

My wife said the PLC came down yesterday so hopefully those who got the $59.99 fucking will have it ring up $29.99. I know it sucks, but at least the coupon isn't only for one week, it's through the entire month so if they aren't ringing up correctly or they don't have them there's time for it to correct itself.

Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly do you tell the difference between foil and shrink? (is shrink wrap the one with the very smooth texture?) So foil is used universally for all systems? (wii, xbox 360, ps3, pc games, etc.)

Shrink wrap would be the seam around the edges that goes all the way around the edges.

Foil wrapping would be the kind that has the little triangular corners at the top and bottom and there's no real seam you can feel around the edges.

I'm not familiar with the "foil" comment but if I had to guess, it's basically the stiffer cellophane wrap that is folded at the top and bottom and glued. Sort a like how a present is wrapped. Shrinkwrap is normally identified by melted seam at the top and bottom.

I've seen both on the same game at different TRUs. I saw Madden 08 in shrink at one TRU (dozen copies) and "foil" at another TRU (half a dozen copies). Might have been a fluke but lately, most of the wraps have been the foil type.

As long as the store has done their PLCs this shouldn't be an issue. You could always call and ask someone in electronics to scan it, but good luck on that.

I had her scan it and it came up $29.99. I picked up the entertainment guide in front of her, ripped out the coupon and handed it to her. All she said was "Damn! I never get deals like this!" I also picked up 2 memory card adapters for $1.50 each for some fellow CAGs. Good times!

ah i would have picked up a memory card reader too for that price. Not much need for them now w/ no BC ps3s anymore but i loves me 60gb.

Yeah i just got back from mine in NJ south of somerville. Got a 9.5 sticker one. No problems, i was ready to start something (with the 1 employee in the whole store, expect to wait a while to get a electronics key). Felt like it was a scene from "I am legend".
Didn't see if there we're any others R:FoMs or motorstorms. The Guides were on the electronics counter, and up front by Customer service.
The Guide shows a "now greatest hits" section in the front, but doesn't speicfy they're $30 so good luck arguing.

If you don't have luck, call back until the end of the month, i assume they'll get the GH titles sooner or later (unless they're giving up) but grap a coupon while you can.

oh and control the urge to just steal stuff theres like no one there.

Yeah, I got lucky that there were actually 2 employees in electronics when I was in there. One actual electronics employee and another that seemed like a management type who had a cart full of dvds that she was scanning with the hand held scanner. I asked her for a price check and she scanned the shelf label through the glass and it came up $29.99. She then got the electronics clerk to open the case for me. I was in and out in a few minutes.

I had picked up one of the readers for myself a few weeks ago. I had mentioned on here that they had like 6 of them left and a couple of CAGs shot me PMs about them. I went today and they still had those 6 left. I thought about clearing them out and offering them up to CAGs. I may do that on the next trip if they are still there. I usually go to this KMart every few weeks since it is way out of the way for me.

Does the coupons work online?

Edit: Nevermind, Kmart's website is garbage.

question - just in case I can't find the games at my Kmart when I eventually go...can the coupons be price-matched at best buy or CC?

If you can find PS2 slim multitaps at your local Kmarts, those are like $3.50 right now(90% off of original MSRP, so they're NOT going ANY lower). I've picked up 2 of those and 3 of the memory card adapters, two of each are sitting on my TL collecting dust, so if they're not gone SOON I'm going to either take 'em back or take them to the local game shop which gave me $3-5 for one of the card adapters last month.

There's also some enormous surge protector strips from RCA for $8 on clearance now too, as well as metal 'carts' to put your PS3/360/Wii's on with spots on the carts to put your controller in. They're like $15.

Yeah, the KMart that I was at had a couple of the multitaps left.

no.. not even walmart or target... and, for some stupid reason that is beyond me because Kmart is owned by them, Sears won't accept it.

Only problem is, I heard from a local game shop owner that the multitaps had a pretty bad failure rate.

Either way though, I may slap them up on Amazon or Half.com and let them go for whatever they will.

Shrink wrap would be the seam around the edges that goes all the way around the edges.

Foil wrapping would be the kind that has the little triangular corners at the top and bottom and there's no real seam you can feel around the edges.

I'm not familiar with the "foil" comment but if I had to guess, it's basically the stiffer cellophane wrap that is folded at the top and bottom and glued. Sort a like how a present is wrapped. Shrinkwrap is normally identified by melted seam at the top and bottom.

I've seen both on the same game at different TRUs. I saw Madden 08 in shrink at one TRU (dozen copies) and "foil" at another TRU (half a dozen copies). Might have been a fluke but lately, most of the wraps have been the foil type.


Thanks for the explanations. I found the triangular folds along the top and bottom of all my sealed games, so I'm guessing they are all ok....

I really don't know why Sears wouldn't accept it

Hopefully I can get Resistance for $20. How much is GoW 2? I've seen it for $19.99, so that'd make it $14.99 unless they have it priced higher.

It's a GH title, I can't imagine that they're going to have it at over $20.

I am in Chicago and called 3 stores and they have no clue about the coupons. They are seriously ghetto though. Anyone in Chicago try for these? I asked the customer service person for Resistance and Motorstorm and she kept thinking I was asking for "Resis"... and then asked me to spell it and Motorstorm! WTF?!?! And I repeated it like 3 times and gave up and surprise! She couldn't find it. Wow! This is nutzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

Can anyone PM me if they can send me spare coupons? Resistance and God of War 2 are what I am looking for. Motorstorm if you can spare. Thanks in advance!

i'm going to check back to my kmart tomorrow and see if I can pick up Resistance for $20. Thanks for the heads up! BTW, if there isn't any coupon books left and Resistance is $30, would someone be kind enough to mail me the coupon? :)

Yeah it all depends on the store, luckily my local store had made the changes on the 1st of the month but is now all sold out of Motorostorm and RFOM, but another store 25 miles from me still has not changed the price from $59.99. I guess it depends on the manager of the store, some managers try to keep as up-to-date as possible with all the price changes around the store.

Got my coupons in the mail today thanks to another CAG. My local store still does not have the guides. Went to the store and they hadn't marked down the prices. The associate working in Electronics was helping someone else for the longest time, so when he finally got to me he felt bad that I was waiting so long. I struck up conversation with him and had him scan the games and like I said they were not marked down. He was into gaming, but didn't know that these were now greatest hits. I explained everything to him and we went up to the service desk where he paged the manager and told him that they indicated a PLC change was to be made on them. Manager confirmed the titles and said by the time we walked back to Electronics they would ring up at the right price. They did and I used the coupons as well. :) Very happy and I got all originaly packaging, no Greatest Hits and not even a RFOM that has the 9.5 out of 10 "sticker" on it.

Nevermind. Called K-Mart again today to see if they had the coupon book in a last ditch effort and by some stroke of luck they did, and they had Resistance. The person on the phone insisted that it was $59.99 and I kept telling them it was $29.99, and she kept telling me, "NO THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, IT'S A NEWER GAME, IT'S $59.99 AND YOU CAN GET IT FOR $49.99 WITH THAT COUPON!" and I kept telling her that it was a PS3 launch title and every store is selling it for $29.99 regular price now, so then she finally scanned it (DURPAAA DURRRR) and said it was $29.99 and I could come get it if I want, and then just hung up on me.

When I got to the store it was a whole different level of frustration. There's nobody to be found in electronics, I had to search for some guy. He pages the woman to electronics, I go back to the electronics department and wait another 10-15 minutes. The lady comes back and I tell her I just called about Resistance, she walks over to the phone all pissed-off like and pages so-and-so to the electronics department "with the keys". Low and behold, the guy I originally asked for assistance walks back with the keys for the game display case and says, "Oh, I forgot I had these." I notice the games have the 9.5/10 sticker on them and I ask if there's any without it - the woman just yells "THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT". Luckily the 9.5/10 graphic wasn't actually imprinted on the artwork - it was just a sticker on the cellophane.

I just wonder how this store stays in business with customer service like this.

The Pensacola, FL Airport Blvd store has the guides and the games are tagged correctly.
The guides are on an endcap on the bottom shelf.
I picked up both games.
Thanks OP.

Picked up the last copy of Resistance at my local K-Mart. I grabbed one of the guides as soon as I got to the electronics section and walked over to the cases. The game was advertised as $29.99, so I thought I was lucky to get a copy (an original copy).

Was able to use the coupon no problem. Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Hey guys, just a heads up. All the Aerosmith bundles and software is on sale at K-mart this week. Those books had a $20 off coupon on the bundles and a $10 off coupon for the software. I bought the software for the ps2 for $29.99.
