And if I had a PS3, I'd be ALL over that Infamous deal. Gears 2 is meh, though.

Looking at the ad the $29.99 is specifically over the Guitar Hero Metallica Wii box (and says $20 off).

There are other games in the 'divided' section of the ad, so hopefully that is for all games. If so I'm headed to BB for a pricematch on Infamous.

I'm going to call my Meijer's during lunch to confirm the price is for all of the games -- unless someone else can confirm it worked?


Update Edit: I called my local Meijer, it is ringing up $59.99. I'm pretty sure the $29.99 is only for Guitar Hero Metallica for that ad space. The layout in the ad is a bit misleading, but there ya go.

So just price match it at BB or walmart. If it looks like it's 29.99, they'll hopefully assume its 29.99

I haven't called yet, but the website lists Infamous as $30 when I click on the buy any 2 for $30 or higher section of the add.

Hopefully this link will work for other people.

I went to their section and pulled up the weekly ad. It lists GH Metallica, InFamous, Pokemon Plat and GOW2 individually as $29.99. It says in-store only by each one. Incidentally, before I could pull up the ad it asked me to select a location. I just picked one of the close ones at random and it came up fine. I'm just wondering if it may be individual stores running the promo.

I just did the same thing. Best bet is to use their site to create and print an in-store shopping list which shows the $29.99 prices. Also, the ad shows you get a $10 coupon when you buy 2 games that are $29.99 or more each.

If I had a Meijer, I would do this in a heartbeat.

So just price match it at BB or walmart. If it looks like it's 29.99, they'll hopefully assume its 29.99

Honestly, in the ad, it doesn't look like they are $29.99 each, so matching at BB might be tough. It is only when you drill down further on the flash version of the ad that it becomes clear that they are $29.99 each.

It may be a server caching issue. It did that to me at first, but I managed to get them on my shopping list for IL (Urbana, specifically, is the one I tried, not sure where you are). Try changing your store back to the local one, and adding it again.

Edit: And, if my advice helps anyone, feel free to repay me by selling me an Infamous at cost + shipping. ;) Keep the coupon for yourself.

Interesting, I go to the shop local and it does indeed say in store price of $29.99 for my local (Lexington) store.

I was on hold for a very long time when I called, wonder if I was auto dumped to someone not directly from that store who just looked online instead of ringing it up. Very annoying if so as I missed out on running over during lunch.

I just got back from Meijer. Infamous rang up at $59.99 but I showed the CSR the ad and he checked with a manager. She said that by looking at the ad she thought it looked like it should be $29.99. She manually overrode the price to make both copies $29.99 each and then she asked me if I wanted to go ahead and just apply the $10 off coupon to this purchase instead of having to use it on the next purchase. I got my copy for like $22 after tax and the other copy is for another CAG.

Hey guys for those of you who live in IL i remember last year when MGS4 was 29.99 in other states and it wasnt in our state. Im almost certain that these prices will show up in this weekends ad for some reason IL ad is a week behind the other ones. Just be patient and check back on meijers website on the 18th

Stopped by a location on my lunch; also rang up as $59.99. I had printed the shopping list from the website (with this location specifically listed), but stupid me, I forgot to bring it with me. The CSR just said that $29.99 price only applied to Guitar Hero Metallica for Wii, and wouldn't budge.

I may stop by again on my way home. The price is definitely showing up as $29.99 for this store on the website.

Adblock in Firefox blocks the view ad links on that list. Just disable it and you'll see it.

I got shot down in the Canton store. The manager went to the site herself and pulled the normally listing for the game and won't budge on checking the ad on the site. I might try the Westland and Livonia stores but so far this seems fairly YMMV.

the bizarre thing is that the game had the yellow tag underneath it saying it was 29.99, but when I rang it up at the front it came to 59.99. They had to do an override and it took forever....

I just found out, after five years of working in Merrillville, that there is a Meijer just a few blocks from the mall.

Called the store and the clerk said it was $59.99. I can't pull the Meijer site up on my cell phone, but is this deal YMMV or nationwide? And if I have to direct someone to the website, where would the deal be?

It's also strange that the online(the link posted earlier in the thread) ad says they are $29.99, and you save $20, it should be a savings of $30. Oh well, no Meijer's around me and no PS3, although Infamous does look sweet.

It helps a lot if you print out the shopping list with that particular store's address listed on it, from the meijer.com website. It confuses the hell out of them, but since the print-out lists the price as "in store only" and has their store listed, they can't say no.

But yeah, as mentioned before, this was a screw-up somewhere, somehow.

Check your PM :)

I went back to the same store, and the (different) CSR in electronics was very helpful, but understandably cautious. He had to get through 2 layers of management, then a 3rd guy had to come over & do the override. Got my coupon (not valid til 6/25) and let him keep the printout as documentation. The printout from the website was key-- I'm sure I would have been denied again without it.

The 2nd location I stopped on my way home was a little more along the lines of pulling teeth. I was brought up to the front Customer Service area, where no fewer than 5 people were brought in to figure out what the hell to do. The woman in charge kept wanting to call it a "web-only special" even though it said "in store only" on the print-out I handed her. I finally had to show her where to look for herself on their website to seal the deal. Took forever, and of course I had my 1-year old son with me, who was not happy to be there. Missed out on my $10 coupon because the register up front didn't have the coupon printer; at that point, I just wanted to get out of there so I let it go.

It took 45 minutes and 2 managers but eventually the Hamburg store in Lexington would honor the price on Infamous.

The manager stapled my print out and the ad together, circled the ad and the price, and left it behind the counter of the electronics dept.

So hopefully that will help the next CAGer who tries to pick up the game.

If the ad was wrong, why would they have the games with the additional sales material? I also got absolutely no kickback from the manager who had to override it for me.

Confirmed. Was able to snag GoW 2 for $29.99 at the Merrillville, IN location today.

Believe it or not, a customer came in just minutes before with the printup from the website showing the four titles as $29.99. Just needed manager approval and I was in and out quickly. Which brings me to the following:

IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE PART IN THIS DEAL, GO TO THE WEBSITE AND PRINT OUT THE PAGE WITH THE GAMES LISTED AS $29.99.

Hate to use the bold shouting mechanic there, but this will more than likely save you both the time and the frustations of having someone take their time in confirming anything. The page clearly states the $29.99 price is in-store only, which theoretically should squash any online-only argument you might run into.

Good luck, CAGers. This is an epic deal, in my opinion.

I got a copy at $29.99 at the Fairfield, Oh store. Took about 30 minutes of hassle. It rang up at $59.99 so they called the manager and he came over and tried to tell me it was a web only special. I showed him my print out from the website as well as the web page on my phone. He still didn't seem convinced so he asked me to come behind the counter and he tried to pull the add up on the store computer. Unfortunately it was an older version of internet explorer without flash installed and the stores wouldn't show up. After him clicking the go button for 10 minutes he got frustrated and gave up and just gave me the price lol. My friend also had success at the Eastgate, OH store but he had to threaten to call corporate number while standing there. Good luck fellow CAGers.

same here, I checked out a bunch of IL zip coded stores for the ad online, and none of them had that ad, let alone that deal in it...just some other junk showed up....I was tempted to print out the MI one that does have inFAMOUS in it for $30 but it would have printed out the location and if I trim that part off it looks way too iffy, so I think I'll skip trying this one, it seems like too much of a longshot when I look at the "print cart" screen that would show up...seems this "deal" is regional....

Meijer in Utica, MI (Hall/Hayes) sold InFAMOUS to me for $29.99. Took about 10 extra minutes as the electronics worker had to call the manager. The manager approved without hesitation though I did print out the online ad that shows those specific games at $29.99.

As those above posted...highly recommend you bring the printout.

BTW, yeah...the game is pretty damn good so far.
Now if we can just find a place selling Ghostbusters PS3 for $29.99.

I just took a walk to Meijer, and found out they're in the process of changing things.

GH-M is supposed to be 29.99, not the others. They gave me the prices on GOW2 and Infamous, but kept my print out, saying they were giving it to the systems people. So anyone wanting any of these get the fast, before they post ad corrections and deny everyone

I feel like with this as proof they can't deny to sell me Infamous at that price. Hell I'll even circle it for them as well as their store's address. It's worth hassling them for a few minutes to override the price if it means I save $30. After all, either they are slow in changing the price in the their system or someone made a mistake but I'll have visual proof.

There are no Meijers on the West coast. I'm going to hop on the begging bandwaggon as well since this deal is incredible for such a recent release. I would really appreciate it.

Heading over to the St Charles IL location tommorow. I'll see what my meijer says and see if I can snag a few extra copies for you guys.

Good Luck JMEPO,
As one of the 'meijer-less' CAGs Thanks for keeping us in mind ;)

I just got this deal, thanks for the post. However, I had to haggle with customer service for about half an hour and pull up the online add. They interpret the add as "Buy 2 games $29.99 and UP and get a $10 gift card". Guitar Hero: Metallica rings up as $29.99 (even though the sticker says $59.99), but Infamous rang up as $59.99. The add in print does not price Infamous, which leads me to believe that the online add is a misprint. Hurry and haggle before they change it!

the Meijer by the Dayton Mall is the location that I got mine from (where it's clearly labled in the rack as $29.99). I'd grab some for some cags, but I don't know when I'll be able to make it over there again. If it truely is a price mistake in the ad, I have no idea why that location would print that price up..... good luck anyone, another awesome deal.

Hey everyone. Just got back from the Rolling Meadows, IL store and its a no go for Infamous. It also is not in our ad, so there are places where this deal does not count.

Just a heads up, but good luck to everyone else!

Dammit. Thanks for saving me a drive, would be an hour round trip.

I might try to PM at a Best Buy nonetheless.

Just got back from meijer in Oxford, MI and they sold infamous and gears 2 for $29.99 each plus the future $10 coupon. The manager told the employee to call systems and have the price changed.

Anyway, great deal

Too bad they changed it, it was fun while it lasted. After hours price-match (with ad) at Walmarts in the same area might still be possible, but YMMV.

Meijer is 24 hours .;)

I went to the meijers in Lexington, KY near the mall at first and they didn't have any Infamous, but they told me that it was $60 regardless. Then I went to the nearby Wal-mart, and they price matched it. I really think this is your best bet if you want to get InFamous or Gears2 for $40. The initial cashier said no, but he took it to his supervisor just to double check and they said that they would go on ahead and do it for me.

Since there aren't any around here, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info.

Yep, been changed. I just got an ad in the mail today that matches the MI one, but when I went online again, they'd changed it. Looks like they caught their slip up, even the MI one is back up to $59.99....damn, at least a few of you grabbed it while it lasted.

I wonder if now that I have the ad Walmart will look at it, I have a Meijer like 2 miles away from my Walmart, if I show them the ad (which still looks like $29.99 at a quick glance) they'll pricematch...

God fucking damn it. I had 3 copies in my hands and affter talking with two friendly employees and showing them the ad I was transferred to this fat black bitch named Salena Yancey to change the price. She had me wait 15 minutes just to tell me I was SOL. Her email is about to be spammed shitless with gay porn ads...

This made me laugh. The game has been out, what, a good 3 weeks and you've "been wanting to get this game for a good price for a long time.

Good one! :lol:

Dude I was about to say the same thing! lol :applause:

Yeah, I think it's time to pull the plug, mods.

For those who were able to cash in and get the games cheap, congrats. For those who didn't, sorry things didn't work out for you.
