*DEAD-but now now weird?* Wii "Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings" $30+s/h+12%bing

[sevast]

DEAD! It looks like you can add it to your cart but then it tells you:
"This item is not available for purchase at this time."


Sears has Indiana Jones and the Staff of kings online only for $30. It's $50 at amazon, gamestop, and everywhere else I checked. Here's the url to the product, but follow the instructions below if you want to go for the 12% cashback:

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05892711000P?keyword=indiana+jones

Got the 12% deal from another post:
http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1392489

I ordered 2 which had $6 shipping. But the 12% bing cashback will basically give me my shipping back!

If you search bing.com (the site formally known as live.com) for "craftsman", sears has a 12% live cashback. Someone said they had to search for "Craftsman Lawn Mower" to get it to show up, but I just searched again for "craftsman" and it came up for me. Click on the little dollar coin or bing cashback and it will take you to sears with a bing cashback popup that you need to put your email address in and fill out a captchua. Now you're at sears. Search for "indiana jones". Buy it.

If you don't already have a live cashback account, you'll have to sign up for one to get the 12% back. I have yet to receive any confirmation of the cash back on the order I made this morning, but I expect it in the next couple days.

It's getting middle of the road reviews so far, but the old lucasarts "Fate of Atlantis" is a bonus if you beat the game. Nintendo power gave it a 7.5/10 and Gamepro gave it a 3.5/5.The bads they say are that the graphics aren't better than a ps2 game and that there is too much waggle. Also, they say it's better than crystal skull! (like it could be worse). I figure that my nieces and nephews will love it even if I don't and I really want to play "Fate of Atlantis".

I had decided to wait for the price to drop before buying. Didn't expect it so soon...

They also have majong and solitaire for the wii for $10 which is $30 most other places.

I think it's wrong to just jump on price mistakes, so I called (kill me later) and the rep said it was not a price mistake. (I thought they probably accidentally used the ps2 price which is $30). They must have really over-ordered or reached a special deal with lucasart to sell it so low. Or it's a price mistake.

Damn, you may have just sold me on that. Fate of Atlantis is a classic, and I'm a sucker for anything Indiana Jones. I'll just have to steal someones Wii for a month to play it...

Also Sears.com still has Fable 2 Limited Edition at $69.99 - 12% cashback. Cheaper than the $100+ it costs on eBay!

wow, nice price, are there any reviews yet?

That's what I was wondering. At this point, I'm thinking that if it was any good it would also be released for the 360 and PS3.

[ferant316]

3.5 out of 5 from Gamepro
7.5 out of 10 from Nintendo Power

[7thton]

Two reviews:

Nintendo Power gives it a 75. GamePro a 70.

[guessed]

If the price stays up there for a couple of days, I may try to match in-store. I don't think I'll have a chance to try it today, though.

[sevast]

Some of the videos looked fun but with way too much waggle. The review average is 7.25/10 so far but the reviews are all for a $50 game. I think at a budget $30, it would have been reviewed easier. I just heard it has co-op, so I'm looking forward to trying that. Worst case scenario, my nephews and nieces will love it!

[etcrane]

Nice find, looks like the cashback is down to 8% but still a good find, thanks OP!

[vherub]

I'm most interested in the co-op play. I've beaten fate of atlantis, so that's less of a draw.

[InvaderZim]

...looks so bad.

[sevast]

My bing cashback is now pending and available in 60 days. Buying just the $30 game will get you $3.60 back which covers the shipping cost. But, rememeber that you have to have at least $5 in your bing accound to be able to withdraw it. That's one of the reasons I go 2.

[hbk1313]

I wonder what the trade-in value is right now? I might buy one to keep and one to trade.

[Kaijufan]

Thanks OP I ordered a copy. I couldn't resist at that price.

[Hydro2Oxide]

BIN's on eBay are all at 50 now (http://video-games.shop.ebay.com/items/Games__staff-of-kings?Platform=Nintendo%2520Wii&LH_BIN=1&LH_IncludeSIF=1&_catref=1&_dmpt=Video_Games_Games&_sacat=139973&_sc=1&_sop=15&_trksid=p3286.c0.m301), pick up a few and flip them for low 40's and you could make a few bucks.

[guessed]

No!!!! I tried PMing in-store at Sears, but they didn't get it in yet. I finally decided to go ahead and bite when I got home, and now the Sears page links to Kmart for $49.99!

[sevast]

When you add to cart, it now tells me that it "isn't available at this time". Fun's over... :)

Looks like sears.com is trying to pull a switcheroo on me. I found this deal on my own an ordered a day earlier than it was posted here. I received a package today from sears.com and inside was Rock Band Track Pack Classic Rock for the Wii, not Indiana Jones. The packing slip even says Rock Band Track Pack and has an entirely different order number than what my confirmation email has. I'm going down to my local Sears B&M with a printout of my confirmation email and try to sort this out later today.

I'm glad I jumped on it when I had the chance, I got an email showing that it already shipped

Update: apparently I got one day shipping bc it's in my area already Sweet!!

i just got an email from sears:

SWEEEETT ... IJ for $30 plus cashback + a free Rockband Wii expansion to sell on eBay for $$$ .... best deal ever!

[sevast]

I got the same thing, but some people are getting just the Indiana Jones game for free. Here's the email that I guess people it didn't ship to got:

"Dear Valued Customer:

We are writing to you to let you know that your order for the Indiana
Jones Wii game was accidentally cancelled due to a pricing error. Your
credit card was initially charged for the order and will be credited due
to the order cancellation.

We wanted to let you know due to our mistake we will be sending you the
game at no charge.

Thanks again for your business. We truly appreciate it.

Sears Customer Care"

Really seems like Sears is taking the high road here. So anyone have anything cool to trade for 2 Rock Band track packs? :)

Wait, so they canceled your order, and are sending you the game for FREE?

[sevast]

Not me, I'm getting 2 Rock band track packs and Indiana Jones for $30. But someone posted that email on slickdeals where I also posted this. If it's legit, then yes, they're getting the game for free after their order was canceled. I'm not sure if I understand why, but I'm sure it sounds great to whoever gets that email. Anyone here getting the game for free according to your email?

[etcrane]

After playing the game, which I rented today, I have a feeling that both the rockband track pack and the game itself may be visiting eBay ... it's ... not the greatest ...

[Kaijufan]

I also got the email that they were sending me the game for free. It doesn't make any sense since the price mistake was for less then the retail price, but if they want to send it to me for free I'll take it.

[guessed]

I am really regretting trying to price-match in-store, rather than just ordering online.

[Kaijufan]

I just checked my email and I got a shipping notification. Free Indiana Jones for me. :D

[Kaijufan]

Well they shipped from Kansas so I got my copy today and I got Rock Band Track Pack Classic Rock for the Wii, not Indiana Jones. Rock Band was even listed on the tracking slip, not Indy.

I sent Sears an email about it. Maybe the problem was that product page should of been Rock Band, not Indy?

[Kaijufan]

I got another email from Sears today:

We are sending you the correct Indiana Jones game, please keep the Rock
Band game as a token of our apology for sending you the incorrect game.
You should be receiving the Indiana Jones game next week, as they are
being processed this weekend.

[Josef]

Much E-Respect to Sears for this. I don't think I've seen an online retailer be this generous after making a mistake: Letting you keep the wrong game then sending out the ordered game at the misprice. Or, letting you keep the ordered mispriced game, but refunding your order because of their price mistake. Crazy.
