Thank you as always...

Thanks Speedy.

thanks waiting for circuitcity

[Perfect*Ending]

Thanks for the ads.

thanks waiting for circuitcity

Going up NOW BTC!

[as50193]

thanks, but probably won't be getting anything there.

[Ronin Bahamut]

There's Wiis at Targets around the East Bay today (both Hayward stores and San Leandro store).

also at hayward TRU

[Ronin Bahamut]

62t~Did you get anything from the Game Crazy stores I told you about? And how do you like the Hayward Toys R Us? Have you gotten anything good there before? All the ones I've been to in the area are very unorganized with no good help.

[rainking187]

Huh, I thought I remembered seeing Saints Row 2 would have a code for a bonus helicopter or plane or something at Circuit City. I guess that got scrapped?

[slidecage]

Spectrobles: Beyond The Portals >>>> NDS >>>> $29.99 $$$$ ****


shocked in a way 2 weeks in a row they wold give the 10 buck gift card. Maybe to make up for this weeks ad misprint??

tempted to run out and buy it for 20 after gift card

[crzyboy88]

Hmm... To get SR2 and a gift card or wait for it to get lower and play the tower of games that threatens to topple over and crush me? Decisions, decisions...

Thanks again, Speedy!

Just curious, why cant we ask questions about laptops?

[Link42]

Wow, I can't believe that the Wii still has such a horrible software retention rate that they can do a BOGO 50% off sale. Then again, I guess all my Wii games are first party titles too. >_>

Heh, that tells ya something doesn't it?

Man, I hate my Wii. Oh well, least I can score some cheap games for my daughter.

[speedy1961]

Just curious, why cant we ask questions about laptops?


Mostly because I was being innudated by NEW members (always brand new members) asking this and that about laptops weekafterweekafterweek without appearing to buy anything. I suspect that they were taking the info I provided and passing it along to slickdeals or fatwallet etc.

I still get asked from time to time about laptops and if handled discreetly through CAG PM, I've helped a few folks track down the one they wanted.

It never hurts to ask me (privately). It just got to a point of absurdity where the same member was asking weekly (one I remember got up to 12 weeks) and never bought anything. That's when I knew it was BS and it had to stop.

My whole purpose in coming here was to join a community where the goal is to save everyone $$.

And I've been doing that at DVDTalk for several years and I'm in my second year here (and still loving everyone here!).

My job is to help you guys and Il ike to think that I thrive in that endeavor. ESPECIALLY here at CAG.....

[MSUHitman]

I find it weird Best Buy is advertising Buzz for PS3 to be in-store on Wednesday when it would have already been out for 2 weeks.

hey, so for the buy 2 get 1 free at toys r us, can i just buy 3 random games, not open them, then 10 days later when the games i want are out can i exchange them?

That is the magic question. Some people have had luck doing it and others not. Worst case you would have to return all three games.

[Bathory]

Thanks.

[EXStrike]

Time to get Wario Land and de Blob.

Thanks speedy!

[turls]

site was updated (cc) within the last half hour or so, 50% off sale works now

[Jackalope]

Any way to just list price drops as opposed to "new game available on release date at full MSRP."

[DrunkMasterChief]

ca I use the toys r us deal at best buy

[Wozzer]

I've been checking your listings for months and have found them very valuable on multiple occasions, figured it was about time I said Thank you! :-)

[Jeh64]

Does anyone know if the $10 giftcards for CC will work online?

[VxExLxVxExT]

yes, you have to scratch off the back, and enter the numbers where specified during the checkout...

[Bathory]

Yes they do.8-)

[zillax0rz]

Would Best Buy match the $10 GC offer of Circuit City?

[Jeh64]

yes, you have to scratch off the back, and enter the numbers where specified during the checkout...

thanks for the help, I think i'll hit up one of those deals now.

[Sandman1000]

thanks speedy

[leesiulung]

I want Mario Kart Wii, and there are no other games I want for the Wii.... sigh. Why can't they just make it 33% off all games?!

[Eleo]

I guess I'll get Dead Space at Circuit City.

[EdEddandEdge]

Picked up Saints Row 2 and got a $10 CC gc. Thanks Speedy!

I was on this deal the day you posted it. Glad my CC had em'.

[Necrom]

Do you have to order online to get the 10 dollar gift card? Or can you go to the store and get it?

[tightclaws]

"I guess I'll get Dead Space at Circuit City."

Good luck with that, I ordered it there and now they are playing games with it. Pissing me off too.

[TC]

This!

Picked up Saints Row 2 and got a $10 CC gc. Thanks Speedy!

[flybrione]

So I bought Fracture, Saints Row and Tales of Vesperia from the TRU Sale yesterday.

Since TRU is not getting Dead Space. I went to Circuit City today and picked it up with the 10 Gift Card offer. Then I went online at CC.com and ordered De Blob and Wario Land Shake it for Wii with the 50% off Promotion on the second Wii title and use the $10 gift card from Dead Space I got earlier today. Got both for $65.

So all in all I got every game I wanted except for Silent Hill Homecoming.

You were lucky to get Dead Space at CC they don't have it online and its not showing in any stores in the area. I cancelled my pre order at CC and just picked it up at BB screw it.

[etcrane]

Best Buy matched CC's deal on Dead Space for me by taking $10 off ... I probably just got lucky, but it never hurts to ask. Don't ask if you can get the gift card, or ask and then see if they can do anything else to match the deal. It may have helped that I had a pre-order and clearly stated I was going to walk if they couldn't match it. Desperate times can lead to decisive deals.

[nflsonic]

I went to Best Buy last night to see if they could match the $10 gc deal that CC was offering, but to no avail. They said they do not match promotion giveaway deals, only price matches. The guy was nice, but I just put the game away and bought it at CC instead.

Would have been nice to have a $10 gc from Best Buy to help with the purchase of my reserved LBP I have there. But oh well, loving the game btw!

[crazytalkx]

So I basically went to Circuit City to get Dead Space on Wednesday. Sounds easy enough right? I walk around the game department lacking luck in finding the game. I manage to find an employee (after wandering like a dumbass for a good 15 minutes) and ask him for help. What does he do? He looks at the rack where the games are, deduces that they don't have it since it's not there, and tells me to "go to Gamestop...it's probably cheaper there or something. Or try the one in Fullerton (it's 10 miles away)."
Fucking terrible. I've ALWAYS had bad experiences with Circuit Shitty customer service (Covina CC) but this one just broke the camel's back. Not only that but a completely sarcastic-sounding greeter lets out a "Have a GREAAAAAAAAT day!" Fuck you Brea Circuit City. Fuck you Circuit City in general. /rant.

[crazytalkx]

I ended up buying Dead Space from Best Buy out of spite. I was helped within seconds of arriving and the employee knew his stuff.
