[the_punisher]

Well, i'd bet they wouldn't give me two tickets for buying an 800 MS point card, so it'd be nice if anyone has more details on this. It sounds cool, though, and i'm going to the movie either way ;).

[LiquorLicks]

Is there a link to this on Best Buy website? This is pretty sweet for the fact that you get two movie tix and not just one, makes it a deal, cuz yea two movie tix pretty much cost as much as the points.

[knightbeauchamp]

im hoping for some awesome swag... maybe a figure or a mask... that would be bomb. Oh and i bet it will be 3 month or 12 month gold membership cards.. which would till be ok in my book.

[jmillion]

doesnt sound bad @ all depending what it is.

[Strider Turbulence]

Mercenaries 2 counts as a Live product, right? :)

[sleepydumbdude]

I wonder what they consider a live product. Hopefully ms points card or the messenger pad. I've kind of been wanting that.

[wampa8jedi]

This could be a great deal, depending upon 1) what products count and 2) whether this is YMMV.

[Saix_XIII]

I hope some point card counts...even if it's an bigger amount one. 2 tickets can be around $13 (by me during matinee) plus the other content is a nice bonus.

[Gamer SDP]

hope someone can clarify what a Live product is. 2 tickets to Watchmen would be great. Like the OP, I don't like how tickets cost too much in the city. It's a bitch to go out without having too much spending money.

[yukafls]

Cool, Ill have to check this out

[Nikadimas]

That sounds pretty cool. Actually wish it was movie cash in this one because I was gonna buy IMAX tickets for this flick. Oh well, can't beat free tickets.

[disillusion386]

This could potentially be an amazing deal. If MS points cards count towards this deal, I can buy a card to purchase Braid for 800 MS points, and get 2 free Watchmen tickets. Cha ching!! The Braid deal lasts a week right?

[kidrocklive]

it's too bad they don't give you free ticket coupons for buying that watchmen xbl game they are coming out with

[DarkZion]

Mercenaries 2 counts as a Live product, right? :)
Wouldn't matter anyway. This starts on 3/1, while the Mercs 2 sale ends on 2/28.

[namdor_07]

well I just booted up my xbox and I guess march 1st I am buying some much needed xbox live points at best buy. GOOD Find! I always skip that spotlight crap.

[genfuyung]

This could be good. Movie ticket prices are a bitch.

[Doomtime]

This could be good. Movie ticket prices are a bitch.

Amen. Keep preaching

[hmbtnguy]

Hm... maybe we'll be able to score these tickets for free just like the free 300 tickets best buy had a while back.

[richyanks]

Hm... maybe we'll be able to score these tickets for free just like the free 300 tickets best buy had a while back.

way to try and ruin it for the people who actually wanna do this legit

[theloserboy]

aw man. figures this would show up after i used up my BB gift card. Still though, its a good find provided you don't have to buy a console or some other really expensive item. Thanks for the heads up OP

[DaftPunkFan37]

I just want it for the watchmen xbox live stuff

Though you have to wait awhile to use them since its considered a pass right? And I assume no go for imax either :(

[lllGurulll]

Hi guys,
I've never posted anything here before so sorry if I screw this up. I did search and didn't see it posted.

I was browsing xbox live and noticed they have a bevy of content promoting Watchmen, which I'm stoked for (as I'm sure many CAGs are, too). Under the Spotlight menu item, I found a Watchmen promo in slot 5 of 8. When checking out the content I found this:



Unfortunately, this is all the info I've been able to find about it. Couldn't find anything after some quick googling. Thought I'd post it here to give you guys the heads up, see if anyone knows anything more.

If I could pick up 2 tickets for purchasing some MS points or a LIVE subscription card, I'm in. 2 tickets to a film in NYC is like $25 AND free content? Could be a great deal.
The only real problem with this is the date the tickets are valid. In my area, new releases do not allow any form of passes for the first 2-3 weeks of the release. Therefore those pass would be worthless in my city.

If it's MovieCash (which is what usually comes packed in older version of movies when the new one comes out, etc.) it's considered the same as a gift certificate or cash and will work anywhere.

[DirkBelig]

I almost posted this earlier but didn't cuz I didn't want to get yelled at for posting a deal for a non-game product in this forum. (i.e. There's no game deal, just free tickets and downloads.)

I wonder if they only mean Live Gold and Points cards because if GTA IV: The Lost and Damned qualifies, I'm on it like crack hos on crack, yo!

[lllGurulll]

Not where I live. I did this for a movie sometime last year and they wouldn't take them. Considered them "passes". Those fortunately did not expire like this one does though.

[Sharp Katana]

here's hoping that ms points count. I need to buy some.

[bigdaddybruce44]

Yeah, this is a deal I'm definitely interested in. I'm gonna keep a close eye on this one.

[rapsodist]

Not where I live. I did this for a movie sometime last year and they wouldn't take them. Considered them "passes". Those fortunately did not expire like this one does though.

That'd be pretty lousy of them to deny you since the certificate should say that it's valid starting from March 6.

[jdeluis]

Now to see how much each ticket is valued. Most likely $8 each. I wonder if this will work at Arclight Cinema seeing how tickets are $14 or imax theaters.

[MrDemonicAngel]

i've used the movie watcher coupons for the Dark Knight in IMAX.

[SuperJedi]

Why it's no where on the BestBuy.com?

... Because it hasn't begun yet?

I take it without a man like Speedy, we just don't have a Best Buy ad leaked.

[DarkZion]

It's either because it's not active yet (sounds like it'll occur one day only to me) or M$ decided they want to keep it a secret to all non-360 players.

[ryosnk]

This sounds interesting. good thing I did not get the live points the other day. Thanks op on the information.

[Plumbtree]

I hope a 1 month gold card will be eligible for this.

[Animal7390]

it will probably have a min value but if this is like anything else at bestbuy, it will be breakable

[joshnorm]

I also wonder if these will be for select theaters (Excluding ones like AMC).

I know that I was all happy to get something like this a while back and found out that AMC blows and they never sign up/allow a lot of this stuff. Stupid AMC

I wonder if the content will be a decent theme a la GoW2 theme from GS. That would be me happy in the pants....

[Darthjer]

Not where I live. I did this for a movie sometime last year and they wouldn't take them. Considered them "passes". Those fortunately did not expire like this one does though.

Moviecash is a check, deposited just like a traveller check. If they tell you no on moviecash at a large theater chain, ask for a manager. If it's a single theater, they may actually not take them. Usually there is a list of eligible theater chains attached to the check somewhere.

[jdeluis]

i've used the movie watcher coupons for the Dark Knight in IMAX.

Thanks.:)

[zenintrude]

Now to see how much each ticket is valued. Most likely $8 each. I wonder if this will work at Arclight Cinema seeing how tickets are $14 or imax theaters.

if arclight takes them (not sure), what will probably happen will be that it'll be $8 off of the normal price.

[darthfalco]

I used to work at an AMC in Southern California.
We didn't take anything unless it was AMC specific.
They still don't.
This includes movie cash.
I recommend calling the theatre before you go and talk to a manager. Whether or not they will take it depends on the management staff.
Movie theatres will do whatever they can to make you pay full price for a ticket.

[MSUHitman]

Not where I live. I did this for a movie sometime last year and they wouldn't take them. Considered them "passes". Those fortunately did not expire like this one does though.

Most of them specifically say on them "same as cash/good for no pass showings" or something to that effect. If it does and they don't except them, you need to talk to either the theatre manager, or the corporate management.

To the post directly above me, usually MovieCash shows all the chains that are supposed to accept it. If AMC is on the list and they won't accept it then I would have a beef I would raise holy hell about.

50-75% of the movies I go to are with MovieCash from buying a DVD/Blu-Ray/game, last one being Quantum of Solice at the midnight opening.

FYI STL is dominated by the Wehrenberg chain, although there are a few AMC's and a new independent chain theatre in Fenton. I usually go to the Wehrenberg theatres.

[DirkBelig]

I got screwed by an AMC - was formerly a Star Theater and didn't realize they'd been taken over - with Movie Cash once. I'd gotten some non-movie-specific (i.e. it wasn't for a particular movie like these Watchmen ones) and swung in to catch a flick and got ganked. Can't remember what I saw, but it wasn't worth the $17 it cost me. Lame.

[pROvIs]

i usually forget about these and they expire :( That being said most of the time ive seen it worded something like "Good to the admission of x movie up to $10.50". If we can use these on L+D or even a points card I'm in. This will be a great deal.

[stoned99]

Not true, I used James bond movie cash just recently at AMC, the Block in OC to be specific.

[jdeluis]

if arclight takes them (not sure), what will probably happen will be that it'll be $8 off of the normal price.

For sure. No way is Arclight going to want to lose $8.:D Just noticed that they raised the price on each ticket by $0.50.

[jza1218]

So does anyone know if points cards are good to go for this?

[darthfalco]

Not true, I used James bond movie cash just recently at AMC, the Block in OC to be specific.

Like I said, it depends on the theatre. Some AMCs do and some don't.
The AMC in Woodland Hills will not.
Just trying to let people know they should call ahead before they make the trip.

[chuckywang]

To me this is a weird deal:

"Purchase an XBox console or XBox Live product"

That's a huuuuge difference in terms of the price of the products. I've never seen a deal like that before.

[imamanwithaplan]

well, not to be a pecimist but has this been confirmed? it seems like such a strange deal. i guess we will just have to wait and see what the wording of the real deal is.

[BarbblerElf]

To me this is a weird deal:

Maybe they mean Game as Xbox Live product.

[stewie75]

This is a pretty good deal if it turns out to be as easy as a points card or cheap game.

[Sacsquash]

Definitely down for this deal, I saw it earlier today on the Dashboard and thought "What the hell, wonder what applies aside from the console?". Anyway I could really go for some M$oft Points and that would really seal the deal.

[skagamer]

CONFIRMED. I picked up one of these in store today. It rang up at $24.99(maybe because the deal is not supposed to start until the first), but they were quick to price adjust it to $0.01. The tickets are redeemable via Hollywood Movie Money which is accepted by all of the theaters in my area. The packaging clearly states ANY Xbox Live Product, so I grabbed a 1600 point card. Thanks OP.

We used to get it by now, you know.

Since now Speedy lost his job.... :(

I don't think it's about price of products, I think MS want you to use XBL live.

[disillusion386]

Actually it's already been confirmed. Someone already got a peak at the ad: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215872

Also, skagamer already confirmed it as well.

[SuperJedi]

VERY Hot deal, I think.

If you like Watchmen movie

[K_G]

http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/theaters

If you plug in your zipcode on the above link, you can find out what theaters nearby you that take the certificates. For my area, I've found that the theaters that take hollywood movie money (when compared to those who take movie cash) are fewer and far in between, so this is something you definitely want to check out first before getting pumped up about this deal.

[csidegamer]

I tried today with the $9.99 Mercs 2, and the guy would not adjust the price of the Watchmen item from $24.99

So the mystery item you picked up is what ?

Do they have a card say 2 free watchmen tickets or something similiar ?

[Zurich]

Also guys, if it's HollywoodMovieMoney:


Your Hollywood Movie Money and Hollywood Concession Money certificates will be accepted at any participating theater at any show time. Your Hollywood Movie Money is valid for any film of your choice unless there is a specific movie listed on the admission certificate. (Please note, expired tickets cannot be accepted or replaced.)

Can't find a participating theater within 30 miles? No problem. Just go to the theater closest to you, pay to see the movie and send us your receipt and the original certificate. After verification we will reimburse you.

Did a theater mistakenly turn you away? No problem. Just send us your certificates along with the theater manager/employee name, the theater you attended, and the date and time it happened. After verification we will reimburse you.

Refunds/reimbursements MUST be postmarked within (1) week of the certificates expiration date in order for them to be honored. Please be advised that if you were turned away from the theater because your ticket was expired you will not be eligible for a refund.

Send to: Hollywood Movie Money, Attn: Theater Relations, 926 Incline Way, Suite 200, Incline Village, NV 89451 or send us an email.

So you guys in areas where there are no participating theatres, it's like a mail-in-rebate.

[splintercell]

So it's just free tickets then? Didn't the description in the 360 dashboard also mention some sort of Watchmen marketplace content being part of this mystery package?

Went to the website and almost every theater in my area came up. Although, I was wondering about the promo code space right next to the zip code, does that have anything to do with whether or not my results will accept the certificates(if so anyone have the promo code)??? It seemed like the search was only giving me the cinemas in my area. Just though you would know the answer since you provided the link... thanx

[Fakinmail123]

Definitely the real deal. I picked up a 1600 MS Points card this afternoon and got it for free. The downloadable content wasn't really worth it. It was just a short preview of watchmen. The movie tickets value is something like 22 or 24 bucks, so pretty damn good deal.

[sleepydumbdude]

Sweet I'll have to go to mine and see if these are out yet. I just spent the last of my points on Braid this week so I'll probably get a 1600 and have my gf get anotehr so I can get two sets of tickets.

[wampa8jedi]

Can anyone confirm whether these are labeled specifically for The Watchman or are the tickets just generic?

[jza1218]

Hmm I'll have to try this tonight.

[Saix_XIII]

I think I'll take a drive of to my BB soon and try to get this deal. I was planning on seeing it anyway so...1600 MS points for free=win.

[Distrato]

Do the tickets work at IMAX theaters?

[blah29]

so we are sure this offer is live already? Pun intended. ha. ha. I need 1600 gamer points. Do the tix come printed out or something?

[Death by Kuvasz]

The deal works as of now, though you may have to get an overide for it to go through. I bought the 1600 point card and took the green box for the Watchmen stuff up to the cashier. It rang up at $25 for the tickets and I told her it comes free with Live products and she told me I was wrong (way to know how to read since it says it on the box and I showed it to her). She called over a manager and he said "Yeah, that's right" and overrode it. Then I had a nice discussion with him about how stupid their staff is and don't even know what the deals in the store are, but I digress.

Anyway, it might take a little work to get the deal before March 1, but just don't take BB's shit.

The value of the tickets is $12 each. You also have to print them out after entering a code at a website, which is strange because before they already came in the box.

It also works with any Live product, even the one month subscription cards (which is dumb on BB's part, pay $9 for the card and get $24 in movie tickets free). If I like the movie I am going back and picking up one of those just to get the free tickets to go again.

[Fakinmail123]

so we are sure this offer is live already? Pun intended. ha. ha. I need 1600 gamer points. Do the tix come printed out or something?


On the shelves was a 360 game box that says Watchmen Movie Pack. In the box is a coupon for Watchmen downloadable content and then there is a small coupon with a redemption code to go www.ActivateRewards.com/watchmen where you can redeem your tickets and print a certificate which you can present at the box office. Hope that helps.

[Fakinmail123]

Just wanted to add that at my BB I didn't have go through any override process. The cashier rang up the 1600 point card and then scanned in the Watchmen pack and it came up free. So, you may not have to go through any BS depending on the store.

[tahoesnowboarder]

anyone have an image of what the watchmen box looks like? post it here!

[Pure Apathy]

What exactly is the Watchmen XBL content?

[iceblast21]

Sweet!!! BIG THANKS to everyone who confirmed (and to OP!). Can't wait to stop by for some FREE MS pts! (I was going to see the movie anyway!) WOO!

[jza1218]

Shoot, the store in Queens didnt know anything about it, and I didnt realize there was something I had to bring up to the register.

[Mike Toole]

Excellent, I am going to check this out tomorrow. CAG wins again!

[blah29]

do they have the green boxes w/ the movie ticket code at all stores or is it still a YMMV?

[megma42]

I personally checked every store and can totally confirm that each store has it as of ............................................... now! If you go to the store and they don't have it, they sold out after I typed now.

[blah29]

sweet thanx for the info!

[K_G]

I suspect that most chains either take them or they don't (ie, it is not handled on a movie by movie basis) and only handful of theaters around me take this specific brand of certificate (there are a couple different companies that do this certificate thing and some theaters chains take one but not another). But I'm not sure I've used these guys in the past...the theater list I got was similar to that I got with the quantum of solace certificate I got on a James Bond Blu-ray....so I'm not 100% positive if the promo code makes a difference or not.

And as pointed out by someone else, there is always mail in rebate option as well if you have problems.

But for those folks who have actually gotten it and printed the thing out, is the certificate good for two tickets (ie, you get one certificate good for two tickets) or do you get two certificates with each certificate good for one ticket?

[rapsodist]

Looks like no AMC theater in my area accepts the tickets. Too bad 'cause they have weekend before-noon showings for $6. I can't stand Pacific and their terrible screen and reel maintenance, and Mann is getting closer and closer to seeming like a second-run joint. Guess I'll be headed to the Arclight even though they're more expensive...

[pureheat101]

When I went to a BB today and I saw no free watchman tickets of any kind...

The management at that store is pretty top notch so I'm assuming they have them in the back until Sunday

[disillusion386]

^That's the same at my BB. I'll just wait until Sunday

[mxpowar]

Just came back from BB and no watchmen tickets for me :(. First the guy said that they weren't allowed to give it out until Sunday and then he changed his story to "we didn't get any in yet". In anycase, I couldn't find them anywhere in the store so they were probably hiding them in the back or something.

Guess I have to come back on Sunday...

[jazzman]

Anybody spot any of these tix in southern OC (Irvine/Costa Mesa)?

[NJMane]

Ok, I work at Best Buy in the media department and we have them and can confirm via the supervisor of the department that they will work with ANY Xbox Live product. I myself will get the 1 month card for $8 and thus eligible for the Watchmen stuff.

FYI...the in store database for the store lists that these cases are not suppose to be out will 3-1-09. So the stores that have them out are breaking the street date. Thus if you go in and they dont have them try back then. The codes do not work for the ticket until 3-6-09 so some store may hold off until then (this is what my store is doing)

Cheers.

[Okatha]

Sweet! I'll be picking up some points for a movie, woo!

[fronk777]

I couldn't find any watchmen boxes either. Oh well at least I still got Mercs 2 for $10!

[jmillion]

might go check out my local Best Buy tommorow. hope they still have Mercs 2.

So if I'm picking up the Halo Wars LE on Tuesday, I should be able to grab one of these as well? Appreciate the info if you know, thanks!

[splintercell]

So if I'm picking up the Halo Wars LE on Tuesday, I should be able to grab one of these as well? Appreciate the info if you know, thanks!
Well, that's a game, so I don't think that would work. I am assuming that by "Xbox Live product" they mean items under the Xbox Live category on the website, meaning points, membership cards, and so forth.

[etcrane]

Fair enough ... I was hoping I could stretch the "xbox live" aspect of it ... since it does come with DLC which is technically an xbox live product purchase ;-)

[JolietJake]

Does BB not sell the 800 points cards? I can't find them on the site anywhere.

[splintercell]

Fair enough ... I was hoping I could stretch the "xbox live" aspect of it ... since it does come with DLC which is technically an xbox live product purchase ;-)
Oh, believe me, I'd love it if that worked. Or at least on something like the Lost and Damned DLC package - one could argue that's purely an "Xbox Live product", just in a box. Alas, I doubt it would work either.

[gryphter]

I already bought tickets, so here's the plan:

On Sunday I swing by BB and get a 1600 pts card and get the free tickets. I then get new tickets for free and return the tickets I bought in advance.

[DirkBelig]

Anyone able to get this with the purchase of Lost and Damned?

[kidrocklive]

It also works with any Live product, even the one month subscription cards (which is dumb on BB's part, pay $9 for the card and get $24 in movie tickets free).

wow, thanks that's a good deal

[Flak]

No joy at my local BB today. I'll have to check back on Sunday.

[rapsodist]

I picked up a 1600-pt card and got my voucher package. (Another plus is that you get a free 360 green case.) I'm thinking about picking up another card since my friends would be watching with me, and their money may as well be spent this way.

[sleepydumbdude]

I got 4 of them. Its my birthday today. People kept asking me what I wanted and I was like umm best buy has free watchmen tickets so buy me MS point cards and get those. That way I can use them to get people to go to the movies with me also if I want to see it multiple times.

Ha. Yeah, I ended up grabbing a second pack to save my friends $24. It won't be hard to spend these MS points. :D

[munch]

Where are you guys finding the tickets?

[sleepydumbdude]

Mine were on a shelf right next to their cheap games and the xbox accessories.


Before the night ends I might have more but I was going to ask for MS points anyways. That way on the night watchmen comes out right before we go I can be like surprise I got free ticks.

[PenguinoMF]

Thanks OP! I would probably not seen this without CAG.

I went today and had to ask someone for it. He went to the computer and was looking at something, maybe an email or something, and said he had to go to the back to look. After about 10 minutes he came out carrying a stack of them.

I picked up a 1600 point card. I'm going to see the movie anyways so I might as well get something basically free.

[LinkinPrime]

Oh shit...I thought this went live on March 1st...I'm going to have to hit up Best Buy on my next break.

[evildeadjedi]

Hmm well at least the IMAX theater in my area is included :).

[jazzman]

Oh shit...I thought this went live on March 1st...I'm going to have to hit up Best Buy on my next break.

Has someone in any of these tix in the OC?

[LinkinPrime]

I'll let you know in about an hour...I'll be stopping by the Cerritos location shortly.

[DirkBelig]

Does this work with The Lost and the Damned? Anyone, anyone...Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?

[bywaytm]

Does this work with The Lost and the Damned? Anyone, anyone...Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?

Why not just buy a 1600 point card which is confirmed to work? They are the same price. Is the poster that big of deal for you?

[LinkinPrime]

No luck in Cerritos, CA...they're holding them till Sunday.

So what exclusive XBLM Content is included in the package?

[rapsodist]

No luck in Cerritos, CA...they're holding them till Sunday.

So what exclusive XBLM Content is included in the package?

The package says "exclusive sneak peek of the film, as well as movie trailers and behind-the-scenes footage." But when I used the redemption code, it simply downloaded one clip from the movie. There was nothing except that. Some behind-the-scenes videos and the movie trailer have been up on XBL since Comic Con last year, and those files were already on my HDD. Perhaps that's all they were referring to.

Thanks for the response...sounds pretty weak. I was hoping for free gamerpics or a premium theme.

[DirkBelig]

[SoulReaver]

Gahhh now if I only lived near a best buy :(

[LinkinPrime]

Is there a poster in the package? I was going to use a Reward Zone GC to buy L&D though I suppose I could buy the point card and be done with it.

Yes there's a folded out poster in the package:

Just go for the LATD package...if they refuse go back and get a 1600pts card.

[1Sail0r]

Do these movie tickets work any any movie theater like AMC?

[DirkBelig]

Yes there's a folded out poster in the package:

Just go for the LATD package...if they refuse go back and get a 1600pts card.Nice poster. I think I'll do that. I can make a scene if necessary! Thanks.

[safire]

I got mine today with a 1-month subscription for 7.99. This was at Fair Lakes VA BB, they had a bunch of them on the racks near checkout.

[Pyloric]

Can you use the tickets to see it opening night, or do you have to wait a couple of weeks until the "no coupon" period has ended?

[DirkBelig]

Can you use the tickets to see it opening night, or do you have to wait a couple of weeks until the "no coupon" period has ended?This has been covered upthread. It's good for the first two weeks starting the opening day. You just have to make sure the theater accepts them and just about all do.

[MajorMaxim]

Just got home from BB, got myself a 13-month XBOX Live Gold account and the Watchmen freebee. Score!

[MajorMaxim]

Ok, I just opened up the box and redeemed the code for the DLC and I only got a trailer....anyone else get more?

[neocisco]

Are the passes issued by Hollywood Movie Money?

Do these movie tickets work any any movie theater like AMC?

If it's Hollywood Movie Money then no. AMC doesn't take passes from them so call your local theaters and find out who will be showing it. They'll know by now if they're getting it.

[splintercell]

Ok, I just opened up the box and redeemed the code for the DLC and I only got a trailer....anyone else get more?
So that's the complete list of contents in the package? The ticket voucher and a download code for a movie trailer?

[thundarr]

I just got back from BB, and they price-matched the 13-month Live card with Sears ($29.99) and let me have one of the Watchmen deals from the back even though they acknowledged they're not supposed to be out yet. All that plus Mercs 2 for $9.99 and a free collectible Watchmen Entertainment Weekly = CAGGASM!!!!

[SuperJedi]

Can a person have more than 2 tickets?

I got 2 $19.99 XBL point cards, and 2 boxes (4 Tickets!)

[Chemosh013]

The best buy in Fresno has them out. They're on top of the games section. 19.99 for points and watchman tickets.

[MajorMaxim]

So that's the complete list of contents in the package? The ticket voucher and a download code for a movie trailer?

It says on the box that it includes "exclusive sneak peek of the film, as well as movie trailers and behind-the-scenes footage." I just got a movie trailer. I guess the movie tickets make up for it.

[namdor_07]

well yeah the movie tickets make up for it. I was going to buy live points, I was going to buy movie tickets...might as well get one of them for free with the other. Spokane BB has them.

[FadeToOne]

Sheesh, I didn't notice where the vouchers were and the cashier/front people had no clue. So I went back and noticed they were posing as games. So I got 4 tickets with a 1 month card and a 1600 points card.

For anybody else that doesn't know, the ticket vouchers are in game cases.

[LinkinPrime]

Picked up a 1600pts card and my 2 tickets at the Westminster Mall, CA location :bouncy:

Now I just gotta finish the book before next weekend.

[H-Town Info]

Going to check this out tomorrow in at the Galleria

[tahoesnowboarder]

can someone post an image of the watchmen box to look out for?

[neocisco]

can someone post an image of the watchmen box to look out for?

Seconded. Good idea.

[xbox_mole]

So if I'm picking up the Halo Wars LE on Tuesday, I should be able to grab one of these as well? Appreciate the info if you know, thanks!

My store had these out today when I went to get Mercenaries 2. I tried that aspect since Mercs 2 had the LIVE logo on the top. Worked my way up to the store manager but eventually I dropped it. If the cases for the movie tickets get scanned without a qualifying product they ring up @ $24.99.

[xbox_mole]

can someone post an image of the watchmen box to look out for?

I don't have an image, but if it helps, my store had them where all the pre-order boxes were and they seemed to have plently a whole shelf row full probably about 40-50 of them out.

[PenguinoMF]

can someone post an image of the watchmen box to look out for?

It looks like this movie poster:

http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/Watchmen%20movie%20poster%20city%20is%20afraid%20o f%20me.jpg

But with a black bar at the top saying:

XBOX 360
WATCHMEN MOVIE PACK
info about whats inside

and its in green 360 case just like a day.

Not a great description but I hope it helps.

[Hypnot1zed]

Nice deal, I need a 12 month gold card and I want to see this movie.

[Neorub]

Will check this out in the afternoon

[Okatha]

I'll hit up the BB nearby in the morning.

[FlamedLiquid]

So what comes with this package? 2 tickets, a poster and a code for a clip of the film?

[safire]

i didn't see a poster in there...

[bmsdaddy]

The Best Buy in Maplewood, MN had many of the movie packs out. The one in Oakdale did not have any on display. Hope that helps somebody.

[ryoga79]

Do the tickets say: Hollywood Movie Money/Movie cash
Up to $10
Looks like a check (this is the description of what my local theater will take for Watchmen)

[FlamedLiquid]

i didn't see a poster in there...

I thought someone said the case itself is a poster. Anyways what do you get then?

[Vekou]

Definitely seeing Watchmen and I guess I could use some MS Points, so I'll go to Best Buy and check this out tomorrow. Hopefully my favorite theater accepts these tickets. Thanks OP.

[safire]

It's a little card. I'm guessing there's a code on there that you type online, and then print something out to give to the box office.

[ryoga79]

Damn. My theater said that it had to be like a check thing.

[Commy]

I just got back from BB, and they price-matched the 13-month Live card with Sears ($29.99) and let me have one of the Watchmen deals from the back even though they acknowledged they're not supposed to be out yet. All that plus Mercs 2 for $9.99 and a free collectible Watchmen Entertainment Weekly = CAGGASM!!!!

How'd you get them to pricematch that Sears price? I don't see any official Sears advertisement for $30

[thundarr]

How'd you get them to pricematch that Sears price? I don't see any official Sears advertisement for $30
I had them look up the Sears 12+1 price online. FYI - the picture on the Sears website is of the old style box, but point out to them that the stock number is the same and they can honor it. The Sears sale ends today, if I'm not mistaken.

[lordopus99]

I picked up my 12+1 Live and then found the Watchmen tickets/box sitting in my Xbox360 games section under W. Thanks for the headsup!

My store had a pretty good chunk of them.

[budz]

I might be down for that. Anything free is a good thing. I wish it counted towards games though :( I needed a new xbox subscription anyway

[KongaKing]

I looked through this thread but I couldn't find anything...is there a list of theaters that accept these coupons?

[kingryan18]

ill swing by the inner harbor best buy in about an hour hopefully they are put out

[eep]

Will definitely check this out this afternoon, I can't wait for this movie! http://wiigamerdeals.com/outgoing/img/1807/p08w1220pvsj/transparent_pixel.gif

[nevamindthalabel]

The two Best Buys near me had no idea what I was talking about when I called before which is pretty annoying. I think I'm gonna take a ride over tonight to see what the deal is.

[pureheat101]

you do realize this isn't supposed to be on sale until sunday?

they probably haven't displayed it until then

[neocisco]

Still waiting on someone to post a picture of the ticket/pass. Someone needs to confirm whether it's Hollywood Movie Money or not.

[namdor_07]

it is hollywood movie money. up to a 24 dollars value for two admissions at any participating theater in the US

go to hollywoodmoviemoney.com to see a list of participating theaters in your area.

[bywaytm]

I looked through this thread but I couldn't find anything...is there a list of theaters that accept these coupons?

There are several posts discussing what the coupons are in the first few pages. Might want to look again.

It is Hollywood movie cash
You can look up what theaters accept it at the Hollywood movie cash website.

http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/theaters
(http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/theaters)
Seems to me most everyone takes it except most AMC theaters.

IF a theater is listed on the site but refuses you, there is a process to get your money back for the tickets.

If there is no theater that accepts within 30 miles of your home, there is a process where you can just get money, like a mail in rebate.

Both are detailed here:
http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/acceptance_guarantee

[neocisco]

Are both admissions on the same ticket?

[DirkBelig]

Well, all my angsting was for naught because they didn't even have the Lost and Damned, so I just bought a card. Bleah. BTW, they had the Watchmen package shelved with the games under W.

[kingryan18]

nothing @ the baltimore inner harbor bestbuy

[LinkinPrime]

Are both admissions on the same ticket?

I haven't printed mine out yet but its similar to the Quantum of Solace promo that they ran when you bought the 007 Blu-Rays.

It's a code, you go online, and print out your tickets.

[iNFiNiTE HORiZON]

you have to print out the tickets? damnit, this no printer thing is killing me :(

[JolietJake]

Fucking douchebag employees. I asked about this today, the first guy didn't know anything about it, so he called a manager over. He didn't even know wtf i was talking about. I get that it isn't supposed to start until tomorrow, but you'd think they'd at least know about it.

[HellKnightKilla]

Went to the BB at Kendall in Miami, FL and of course with these things the drones working at BB didn't have clue except for one employee (not a manager), who told me that they would be getting them on Tuesday...

Gonna check in tomorrow to see whats up...

[darthballz]

The best buy in bayshore, ny had them on the rack above where the games are located. I got one with a 1600pts card. I'll post a pic if I can get my scanner working (never used it before).

I picked one up with a 1 month Live card.

[evildeadjedi]

Checked Lewis Center, OH location and they didn't have them out yet. Picked up a copy of Mercs 2 for :360:.

[lostdecoy]

Westbury & Hicksville, NY did not have them out nor would release them today. The kid in Hicksville insisted they wouldn't have them till Tuesday...they were talking about another Watchmen item, not the movie pack.

Disappointed overall - doh!

[eastx]

Thanks Darth!

Can you or someone else please post the SKU as well?

Info for the Tukwila, WA Best Buy???

[ajh2298]

If I order two 1 month cards tonight for in-store pick-up and wait till tomorrow to pick them up do you think I will have a problem adding the Watchman ticket packs tomorrow?

[mxpowar]

If I order two 1 month cards tonight for in-store pick-up and wait till tomorrow to pick them up do you think I will have a problem adding the Watchman ticket packs tomorrow?
Actually, that's what I did, too. If they give you a problem, you can just return the points card and then buy it again.

[neocisco]

Thanks, darthballz.

I haven't printed mine out yet but its similar to the Quantum of Solace promo that they ran when you bought the 007 Blu-Rays.

Thanks. I'm just wondering if it reads "Admit Two" or if there are 2 different tickets that read "Admit One".

[hmbtnguy]

Grabbed a TDK edition 1600 point card with the tickets. Thanks OP!

[jza1218]

Just a heads up, the BB in Queens(Woodside) has them in the display case where they keep the points cards and stuff.

[mythus]

ill be picking one up tomorrow in secaucus, nj. i wonder, do both tickets need to be used on the same day. my friends and me would like to pick one up each and watch the movie twice.

[KongaKing]

I hope the promo shows up online so I can do in store pickup tomorrow

[Mike Toole]

Just a heads up, the BB in Queens(Woodside) has them in the display case where they keep the points cards and stuff.

Same deal with the Best Buy at the South Bay Center in Boston, MA. Got mine no problem, thanks for the tips my CAG homies. The code cannot actually be redeemed until tomorrow, so I don't know if it's a single 2-admission ticket or two single-admission tickets.

[JolietJake]

Thanks Darth!

Can you or someone else please post the SKU as well?



The only one that sounds like a douchebag in that situation is you. :(
How's that, because i found out about it at an internet message board before their own employees did? I'm sorry that i expect a store's employees to know about their own promotions. Tomorrow they'll probably find out about it and wonder how i knew before they did.:roll:

[ryoga79]

Anyone know if there is a limit on how many you can get at once? I need to get 4 packs, since a group of 8 of us are going to see it opening night for my birthday.

[PlumeNoir]

I went to the BB in Westland, MI and had an amusing conversation with an employee. I checked around and they didn't have them anywhere (but they still had some Xbox1 games, surprisingly). I asked an employee, and he said "You mean the digital graphic novel? That comes out on Tuesday." I tried to explain what I meant, and he said, "Well, whatever it is, it comes out on Tuesday."

I'll stop back by tomorrow and see if they magically appear...

[koruwa]

Anyone know if there is a limit on how many you can get at once? I need to get 4 packs, since a group of 8 of us are going to see it opening night for my birthday.
i'm curious about this too. Im planning on going later today to see if i can pick up a bunch of these for me and some friends

[jza1218]

Anyone know if there is a limit on how many you can get at once? I need to get 4 packs, since a group of 8 of us are going to see it opening night for my birthday.

I bought 2, and they didnt say boo.

[anumeric]

i tried to buy the 1600pt card and the watchmen sku rang up as 24.99. so the csr asked the manager and said its only if you buy products so i argued that the point card was a xbox live product and he said it didnt count, only the peripherals.... so no luck here, might try another BB tomorrow

[mvp828]

I went the BB on Alpine in GR,MI and persuaded the employee to go in the back and get me one. I bought a 1600 pt card and all was well. The 24.99 only goes away after total is hit.

[2sday]

I bought 2, and they didnt say boo.

did u get 2 free with only 1 live product?

[ryosnk]

I asked the employee at the store and he went in the back and got me one. I purchased 1600points with the free tickets.

[Wario64]

So the free tickets is really just a $24 value to redeem on the hollywood site? So theoretically could you use these tickets to see another movie instead of Watchmen?


Is there an expiration date on when you have to use these free tickets? I wasnt sure if the OP details meant you have to buy a XBL product within that time period or you have to use your tickets by then.

[Nirron]

Thanks, darthballz.



Thanks. I'm just wondering if it reads "Admit Two" or if there are 2 different tickets that read "Admit One".

I'm wondering this as well. I actually have a deal with a friend, as I owe him some money for buying the Mirror's Edge DLC, and told him I'd give him a ticket to Watchmen and keep one ticket for myself, but that might be difficult as we'll be about 300 miles apart when it comes out.

I did manage to pick it up today regardless, in conjunction with a 1600 point card. It's too bad they don't sell 800 point cards, or I would've snagged that. Wanted to get Braid before the offer expires, but wanted to get the Watchmen deal too. Oh well, I guess if anything I'll use the extra 800 points toward buying Lost and the Damned.

And apparently this offer is valid for a heck of a long time. The redemption website says the offer expires 5/31/09, so I'm not sure if that's the last day the tickets are valid, or just the last day the offer can be claimed. Annoying though that it won't let me redeem the code until midnight PST as I have a friend coming through tomorrow to claim his ticket.

[mkernan]

I was able to bring in the Sears ad, price match the 12+1 Live card for $29.99 and also get the free tix. Sweet.

[PenguinoMF]

i tried to buy the 1600pt card and the watchmen sku rang up as 24.99. so the csr asked the manager and said its only if you buy products so i argued that the point card was a xbox live product and he said it didnt count, only the peripherals.... so no luck here, might try another BB tomorrow

Did they total it out? It doesn't change the price until it is totaled out, then it drops to $0.00.

[DaddyBoJangles]

I went to a best buy in clarksville, indiana today and purchased a 1 month xbox live card and recieved my watchmen tickets :) Thanks OP

[TehMuff1nM4n]

I went up to the counter with a 1600 points card, no luck. She said it had to be in a plastic clamshell case. Went and grabbed a 1 month card, got my tickets. :lol: :)

[joshnorm]

My BB will not put them out until tomorrow (Sunday)

[EnronLackey]

Wont put them out till tomorrow at the 2 stores I stopped at .. Maryland Parkway and Rainbow / 215 location

[koruwa]

capitola, CA worked for me, only had 2 1 month cards so i got 2 of those and a 1600 points with 3 movie packs. They said that it wasnt supposed to be on sale till sunday but didnt care haha.

[ticalmc2k2]

How's that, because i found out about it at an internet message board before their own employees did? I'm sorry that i expect a store's employees to know about their own promotions. Tomorrow they'll probably find out about it and wonder how i knew before they did.:roll:

He's right. You shouldn't expect an employee to know about this promo before it happens, just because you found this on here through someone who found it on XBL. They'll know about it tomorrow when they need to. And anyway they could've denied the promo to you anyway since it doesn't technically start until tomorrow anyway. He's right, you're the douchebag.

For those wanting to go to the Westwood, CA store, I don't think they'll have it. I asked the guys in Media about it tonight and they didn't know and they said they didn't get anything for it. Hopefully the movie packs are somewhere they didn't know but don't be surprised if they say they don't have it.

[jojoschump2000]

fyi: it is live on the site now. In case you want to try an online order or pick up. Shipping might be about $3. Cheers!

ordered a 1 month live subscription via in-store pick up w/ movie pack, thanks op :applause:

just a reminder to anyone thats planning to order online: you need to add the accessory and the movie pack in your cart (at the very bottom of the page)

i just wanted to say this because i almost checked with just the accessory thinking it already comes bundled with the movie pack, but i went back to double check and found it

[Crazyglitcher]

He's right. You shouldn't expect an employee to know about this promo before it happens, just because you found this on here through someone who found it on XBL.

Aww man that sucks. I was hoping I would be able to get tickets after class but I'll take your word for it...Meh I'll still go anyways and get some xbl cards.

[V878]

How do you find out which theaters participate (do all AMC theatres take these)? My friends want to see this movie next weekend so 2 tickets for $7.99 looks like an amazing deal.

[ryoga79]

Going to pick some of these up (hopefully 4 packs) as soon as BB opens. hoping to do:

1 month gold cards x2
1600 XBL points cards x2

What's going to suck is that as of now we have 7 in my group confirmed going to Watchmen, and I haven't heard from the 8th. would hate to have an extra ticket for no reason. lol

[jdeluis]

http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/theaters

If you plug in your zipcode on the above link, you can find out what theaters nearby you that take the certificates. For my area, I've found that the theaters that take hollywood movie money (when compared to those who take movie cash) are fewer and far in between, so this is something you definitely want to check out first before getting pumped up about this deal.

;)

[xverion]

What's going to suck is that as of now we have 7 in my group confirmed going to Watchmen, and I haven't heard from the 8th. would hate to have an extra ticket for no reason. lol


That's alright, if the 8th doesn't go, you could go again, especially if it's a good movie, which it hopefully is.

Going to pick up a 1600 point card in a little while, just waiting for the BB to open here. Can't wait.

[jza1218]

did u get 2 free with only 1 live product?

No, 2 1600 points and 2 movie packs.

[dschroll]

Are these free tickets valid for opening weekend?
Most theaters by me say no passes for the first few weeks.

[mxpowar]

By the way, in case some of you don't feel like going to Best Buy, shipping was free for me (I'm in NY) for 1600 points and a Watchmen Movie Pack. Also, if any of the employees give you grief about it being limited to one per person (that's what it says in the ad), you can order online and buy one in the store.

Also, I can't figure out if those DVDs with the movie money in them (Matrix and Constantine) are available today or on Tuesday? Is it actually inside the DVD case or is it just something BB will give me if I buy some old copy of Constantine DVD (great movie BTW)?

The tickets are only good for 3/6 through 3/20, so they have to be valid for opening weekend.

I used the online system to pick up a 1 month live card for my tickets. :) They are good at the theater right next door to that Best Buy, lol. XD Such a great deal, thank you!

[jkircos]

Can these be used if the theater has the Imax version of the film?

[emeraldgsl]

Cool, needed a 1600 MS point card anyway. I ordered online in-store pick up. Can't wait until later to go pick this up.

i was wondering the same time, but I am assuming no.

[robdees]

I also needed more MS points so this worked out well. Thanks!

[Ryouko]

The tickets can only be redeemed at certain theaters. My area only listed one Cinemark (thankfully the one in my home town) and a few Movie Taverns. No AMCs or IMAX theaters.

[mythus]

can this be used for a midnight showing at 12:01 the night of thursday? the website displays it as 3/5

He's right. You shouldn't expect an employee to know about this promo before it happens, just because you found this on here through someone who found it on XBL. They'll know about it tomorrow when they need to. And anyway they could've denied the promo to you anyway since it doesn't technically start until tomorrow anyway. He's right, you're the douchebag.

For those wanting to go to the Westwood, CA store, I don't think they'll have it. I asked the guys in Media about it tonight and they didn't know and they said they didn't get anything for it. Hopefully the movie packs are somewhere they didn't know but don't be surprised if they say they don't have it.
:lol: Fuck you buddy.

I know the stores send out emails about this, if the section manager hasn't even heard about it ONE fucking DAY before it's set to start, something is wrong. I know they don't wait to tell their employees about it the day it 's set to start. It's ok though, just keep defending retail ineptitude.

Without being profane or rude, I'd like to point out that it's not uncommon for retail stores to have daily staff meetings prior to opening so they can brief them on new promotions or any other information starting that day. I've been in many of those in my time.

It actually makes sense. If there's 100 or so promos going on Saturday that aren't going on Sunday, why fill their heads with 200 promos of information ("this is good today, this is good tomorrow, don't get 'em mixed up" x 100 etc)?

This Watchmen deal is the only deal that matters... TO US. Best Buy has a ton of specials every single week, and it makes sense as a company retail outlet to inform their employees of *current* deals. If their employees know of future deals it's more than likely from them being members of CAG.

And I definitely have experienced retail ineptitude myself (hello Circuit City... and goodbye), but I don't agree with this being a case of it.

So if you want something to be angry about, I recommend picking something else.

As it stands, THANK YOU CAG / OP for pointing this deal out. In for 2!

Ordered online for instore pickup, went with just the $7.99 one month of live with the free movie tickets. I know it's a better value to get points, but don't really need them right now.

[evildeadjedi]

i was wondering the same time, but I am assuming no.

Hmmm cause when I looked up my area one of the theaters that accepted HMM has an IMAX screen. Might have to just give them a call later today.

This is directly from the FAQ on the Hollywood Movie Money site:

What movie is my ticket good for?Your ticket is either good for a specific movie, or any movie. Either way your ticket is valid for any showing, any time, even for movies listed as "no coupons / no passes".

[jaso]

#1. As for a gift receipt
#2. Redeem the 2 Ticket Movie code
#3. Go watch movie
#4. use Gift receipt to return any unwanted products.

Hence free movies at no cost.

You'll quickly earn a poor reputation around here with posts like this.

[mythus]

btw did anyone find out if you can use each ticket individually. i would like to watch the movie twice w/ both tickets. each of my friend will be buying the bundle.

I looked and our IMAX (Henry Ford Museum) is on there so it should work (hopefully).

[jaso]

If your read their guarantee, if you don't have a theater within 30 miles that accepts their gift certificates, you can send them your certificates with your receipt/ticket stubs and they'll reimburse you.

On top of that, the website says they'll refund you if a theater won't take the passes:

First, make sure that your ticket is not expired and that you went to a participating theater listed on this site. If the theater has mistakenly not accepted your ticket, please contact us (http://www.hollywoodmoviemoney.com/contact/index/Support). Or, you can mail your Hollywood Movie Money ticket and theater receipt along with a letter of explanation to Hollywood Movie Money Attn: Theater Relations 926 Incline Way, Suite 200 Incline Village, NV 89451. Please address the envelope to the attention of "Acceptance Guarantee Department". Upon receipt we will review your request and, if appropriate, reimburse you for the amount you paid at the theater up to the value indicated on your Hollywood Movie Money ticket.

What is the promo code? I think you need that to check which theaters, or else it is just searching what the local theaters are.

[brewin]

Can someone who has scored this deal post a list of theaters the tickets are redeemable at? I want to know if this is worth it for me as I only have like 2 theaters within 100 miles: Flagship and Regal. Thanks.

[help1]

Also, it looks like Regal is participating.

[ivanctorres]

I just ordered with in store pick up.

Anyone go to their movie theater with the printouts yet and try to buy tickets for next weekend? If the tickets are only valid from 3-6 to 3-20 the chance of me getting a ticket on release weekend will be slim if I have to get them on release weekend.

[slidewayz88]

Does anyone know if this is being accepted at Rave Motion Pictures?

[Nirron]

It looks like you can't. I'm not 100% certain as I don't want to risk screwing it up yet, but when I tried to redeem my code, it asks me for my zip code and on the next screen tells me to choose the theater I'll be attending. That gives me the impression that you're tied down to two people at one theater, so the tickets are probably not individual, since you'd think there might be an option for multiple theaters, or just no choice at all.

YMMV however the one in my area is not on the list. However the Marcus Theater with the IMAX screen is on the list so its all good. :applause:

[lostdecoy]

Grabbed mine this morning, girl was insisting the promo ONLY worked for 3 mo. & 1 year XBL subscriptions but had her look at the website to show it worked for 1600 points as well.

SWEEET deal!

[KongaKing]

Got mine. Did in-store pickup. Anyone print their tickets yet? Curious if you have to pick date and time or you just print a voucher that's good for anytime during the 2 week span.

[lostdecoy]

When you print it you just choose a theatre and input personal information. You don't pick a time or date - just present them at the box office. These certificates are essentially virtual credit card numbers at the bottom (only redeemable at the theatres, no where else)

Awesome, thanks. No worries to print it now then for next weekend.

[Togepy]

If this movie wasn't an excruciating 2 hours and 40 minutes long I would be all over this deal. But God do I hope this movie flops at the box office. Enough with the obscure super hero movies, all of them in development need to be canceled.

[shrike4242]

It's one promo item per in-store pickup order on BB.com, in case anyone had tried more than one at once.

Shame the 800 pts card doesn't seem to be valid for this promotion. Oh well. $10 for 800 points and two movie tickets would've been nice.

Did an in-store pickup order for a 1600 points card and the promo pack, plus Ultimate Genesis Collection and American Gangster on BR (which was on-sale for $14.99 right now), as I had $60 worth of RZ certs and promo codes burning a hole in my pocket.

Your posting privileges need to be canceled. :roll:

I guess I'll be jetting down to BB today and picking up a 1600 pts card and the promo pack. Went yesterday but they were nowhere to be found.

[metallicoholic]

The CAG in me wanted to just buy the one month XBL card but the practical gamer in me bought the 1600 points card. I made the purchase online for in-store pickup. For some reason I didn't get charged tax, so the total came out to $19.99. Nice.
