[SmileyMcSmiles]

Nice. I haven't bought a DS game in a long, long time. Perfect time to pick 3 up!

[icebeast]

That is a really nice deal... it's too bad that I can't name three games for the DS that I don't already own that I want to pick up.

[darkpice]

good deal. just cant think of anything that i want.

[GIDoty]

HMMMM, maybe I'll pick up Pokemon Platinum, Pearl, and fire another 1 out on the spot, maybe China Town Wars. This is an awesome deal as I am going on a road trip soon and will need new DS games to play!

[Xerxes]

Ok, there's Devil Survivor and.... O_o

before you think about hording them and selling them to ebay..... they are only 99 cents everywhere else : )

+ probally limit 1

sucks i wasted a buck

too bad free shipping will be off next week and most of the games i want they do not even carry in store

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor
Knights in the Nightmare
+ 1 more for 65 would be nice BUT that is 22 each and sooner or later they will be 20 each

[Ryukahn]

Dang, Buy 2 get 1 is too soon for me. I've been interested in getting a DS again, but I don't have any cash now. :cry:

[momouchi]

Time to catch up on those RPGs I missed on the DS. This is at a perfect time since vacation is coming up soon.

[kittenkya]

Is this deal at Best buy?

[Tom Ato]

Is this deal at Best buy?

Yep. That's what the BB in the title means.

Assuming you have to pay about 8% tax on all 3 games, and each game being $30 that comes out to about $22.50 per game. That actually beats the price I get them off amazon after ECA (27.99*.9 = $25). And nothing quite beats coming home with 3 brand new video games!

Don't forget to join Best Buy's Reward Zone and their Gamers Club. Those game purchases will go a long way to 500 bonus points for an extra $10 reward.

[Ski Hawk]

I'm in for Legend of Starfy, Devil Survivor, and Knights in Nightmare.

[heyheyhey11]

Just checked their online selection. And it's quite lacking.

They have two games I want

Mario bros, chrono

third one i want is ace attorney 4 but they don't have it. Maybe they have it on BM stores?

I don't wanna make a trip to the store. It's located quite far.

[alanamaslama]

Nice, this will make up for none of the games I wanted to use for the Gamestop coupon being available in my area.

In for Devil Survivor, Knights in the Nightmare and Starfy.

[___Vizion___]

If I end up spending more money on videogames, I would go for Dragon Quest V, Broken Sword, and Pokemon Platinum.

[Justin42]

hrrrm, no Motorstorm PS3 for $39.99 like we were hoping? (to use the $20 coupon on the RZ page)

[Hestar]

Is this deal for their online store aswell or am I gonna have to drive 40 mins to a store?.I'm getting a ds in a week or so and I would love to get the world ends with you,chrono trigger and either zelda or FF IV to start off my ds collection.

[Evil Shadow Ninja]

nice, but i think i have all the ds games i really want. i already have mario 64 ds, new super mario, umk3, pokemon diamond & platinum.

[Gohan]

Castlevania: OoE (assuming I can find it there ... if not, maybe Layton), Chrono Trigger, and Rhythm Heaven. Here we gooo! :)

[fart_bubble]

glad I'm broke, I've already got 12 games in my DS backlog so another 3 wouldn't do me any good

[coppanuva]

Anyone have any idea if best buy discount coupons will work for this? I have some in the mail that give 10% off and they expire the 6th of July, if I can combine those with this deal that would be amazing.

[detectiveconan16]

Hrm... No money... Sounds nice though.
Probably Chrono Trigger, Devil Survivor, and I dunno...

[icedrake523]

I'll have to think of a 3rd game to get.

I'd like to know the answer to this, too.

[Cao Cao]

There is a distinct lack of Henry Hatsworth mentions in this topic. Just throwing that out there as a reminder for those who are trying to decide on what to get. There's also the recently released Dawn of Discovery (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228161) to consider, the sequel to the highly praised city-builder Anno 1701 DS.

IT'S TEA TIME!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJzpLAOXMfY

[Vinny]

I can't even think of 3 games to get... I've got a few wants but even with a B2G1F, it's more than what I want to pay for most of them.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Oh man, there's a bunch of games I want to pick up....but I don't wanna spend the cash. Dillemmma.

[cochesecochese]

Oh man oh man oh man oh man I am excited for this. I just got a DS again and this is a perfect way to rebuild my library.

[thePhildown]

This same exact sale is happening right now at my local Fred Meyers. I didn't post that because I couldn't think of three must buy DS games.. LoL.

[Estebon]

This is the first time I recall BB ever doing buy anything get anything free. I can't believe this.

[slidecage]

if the 10% off coupon combines I will grab 3 for 59


if the coupon does not combine i think i will pass


knights in nightmare 35
devil ds 30
and
3rd game 30 bucks

[Demolition Man]

Has the rest of the ad leaked online yet? In particular the DVDs and Blu-Rays.

[Estebon]

What 10% coupon?

[runscottie]

Hey, any chance you can post the price of LCD PC monitors in the add? Thanks!

[HumpsMcLovin]

There is a distinct lack of Henry Hatsworth mentions in this topic. Just throwing that out there as a reminder for those who are trying to decide on what to get.

I was actually just about to post that. If anyone is looking for something to try for free, I would definitely try it. I just got it and it's pretty great. I think it's my favorite DS game right now.

I may be in for Devil Summoner, Dragon Quest IV (or V, whichever I can find), and Professor Layton. Maybe Fire Emblem DS. I actually have way too many games that I want to try.

[zedarkness]

this is quite tempting...

No iTunes deals, sorry

[Estebon]

I wonder if the Chex Mix coupon will work on the 2 games you have to pay for price for?

Say, you get 3 $30 games, have the register chick give you the free game and then give her the coupons and get $3 off each game you're paying for. Then you $54.00 + tax and get 3 games for an average of about $18 before tax.

Worth a shot since those coupons expire this month.

[Tdogg2k8]

I doubt they will let you do that deal, but honestly, the best thing to do right now. is just go and ask.
thats what I always do.
either that or buy them now, (spend the extra 30 or so bucks) use your coupon.. then go back on Sunday and use ur receipt to get the price difference, and since you used the 10% on all 3 initially you end up saving 2/3 dollars more once they go back and give u the one game for free

Do you have the Laptop Sales? also if there is any financing specials or double reward points like this week?

[slidecage]

seems they learn this time to put PS3 Wii and Xbox 360 in the ad for the gift cards


Loved to go world series for the DS for 10 (thats all its worth)

most stores make you RETURN AND REBUY so you will lose your coupon

and dont see how you would save more cash now ...


today

30

30 (so 27 each)

sunday it would be
30
30
free they are not going to give you -3.00

and its a very good chance they will make you return and rebuy.. of the last 3 times i did this not once did i get a price match all of them were return and rebuys

[Number83]

I think I'm going Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile and Suikoden. I have $30 in Reward Zone coupons too! :whee:

[rperez1025]

Thanks for the post OP.

Nothing really for me... although the Wii game deal is intriguing...

[One4Deuce]

I'll have to check out a store to see what else can be had with the buy one get one half off Wii game sale.

[SargeSmash]

Black Sigil.

The random encounter rate may be too high, and it's a little buggy, but I had a lot of fun with it, and anything I stick with for 40+ hours is good in my book. Just don't go in expecting it to match Chrono Trigger, or start really rolling until 10 hours or so in.

Also, Suikoden: Tierkreis was fun. It may not be a "proper" Suikoden, and it's a tad too easy, but it's good stuff. And don't forget about Super Robot Taisen: OG Saga.

[Ryukahn]

Hmmm, more opportunities to spend money that I don't really want to spend. Guess I'll look and see if there is anything else to pair up with Punchout.

[miriamleo]

Man I want EA Sports Active. Not on sale anywhere and don't think the 50% off applies to it.

[Kush]

[TheBryanTarlowski]

I have a $20 reward card, will i be able to get $20 off one of the two NDS games that I get and still get the 3rd for free?

If Red Faction is actually $49.99 i might just use the coupon on that to get it for $29.99

[nervousxtian]

Damn, I miss CC.

[OGHowie]

Damn, I miss CC.

Stores sucked but they always had great weekly deals..

[OGHowie]

Man, 15% off isn't even that much anymore especially since SoCal tax is almost 10% now. So sad.

[kodave]

That Wii deal is really tempting, but I was just at Target the other day and their pricing is not at all competitive with other B&Ms like Fry's, and even Best Buy had better pricing on some games.

One way to look at that is if you buy two $49.99 games and get the 2nd one 50% off, you're basically paying $37.49 per game plus tax, which at 8.75% in CA makes each game $40.77. A lot of newer games are only $47.99 on Amazon, so this deal would save you $7.22 off each game.

If you got two $19.99 games (like say, a couple LEGO games), after taxes the deal comes out to $16.30 a game. That's about a $3.19 difference compared to buying the same games off Amazon.

Just some things to think about.

[Got_Wii]

Thought about buying Punch Out but then I would need another game for the Wii deal. Anyone got any suggestions?

[miriamleo]

Will Toys R Us ever carry Blazblue? I checked at two stores in the past two days and both stores don't have it, neither does the site.

I did the exact same thing. No Blazblue anywhere. Wonder if I should just buy it now.

[Cheeseknight28]

Thought about buying Punch Out but then I would need another game for the Wii deal. Anyone got any suggestions?

No More Heroes, Madworld, Brawl, Rune Factory, Final Fantasy Fables...

I'm sure there are other great games out there I can't think of.

[Montana02115]

Pretty good deal if you've been waiting for a PS3, as long as their still doing the bundle

[joshnorm]

Man, 15% off isn't even that much anymore especially since SoCal tax is almost 10% now. So sad.

Better then nothing though...

Now I am tempted to pick up the Bigs..... 15% off plus $10 GC....damn tempting

[Deefuzz]

I actually may jump on Red Faction now.

[Estebon]

I just came back from a BB that had Big Bang Mini, Ninja Gayden(hehe), and Puzzle Quest galactic something for $10 each (manager specials all). On sunday, can I go and get a B2G1 free on these?

[MidnightMetal]

Should be fine, although that would be YMMV depending on the manager. My guess would be that he/she would take those games "off sale" for that week and see what sells for the B2G1 deal and then put them back "on sale" the next week. (Although that is what I would do if I was the manager and wanted to make it profitable)

.....or you could just get the three this week and come back in the next week and have them adjust it to suit the B2G1 deal.

[Estebon]

I asked someone but he seemed like a prick so I think i'm going to go on sunday and just try it anyway, and if they won't, brag that i'm a platinum member and that I will be calling corporate to discuss this with them. Hopefully, if I talk like I know my shit, they'll back off and do it.

They also had avalon code for $20.

[Tdogg2k8]

Estebon to be honest with you, I would get those before sunday to take advantage then go back in sunday with ur recepit and tell to do the B2G1
because manager specials only usually last a week.

[drktrpr1]

Hrmmm Red Faction on sale for PS3 only? Kind've an "eh" week, since I've got all the Wii games I need right now.

[Blade]

Just checked their online selection. And it's quite lacking.

They have two games I want

Mario bros, chrono

third one i want is ace attorney 4 but they don't have it. Maybe they have it on BM stores?

I don't wanna make a trip to the store. It's located quite far.

Amen, brother. I just checked their online stock and only found one game I'd pay MSRP for: Rhythm Heaven. :(

[Tdogg2k8]

blade who is that girl in ur pic?

[Ryukahn]

Does the Best Buy ad have anything about finance offers for purchases of $X and up? (hopefully $299 and up). They did it last year around this time for a month or so IIRC, so if they do it again I might be able to swing a DSi and some games.

[Yankeefan157]

Thanks for the post, looks like nothing for me though.

[Curufinwe]

Hmm, and I have a 10% off coupon for up to 3 games or DVDs to use this weekend, too.

But I already bought SMT: Devil Survivor last week from Gamestop when my local BB didn't have it.

[Tdogg2k8]

Ryukhan
I think someone said 18 months 499 already..


and
Curufinwe
lol if its been less than 7 days return it. at GS if it was pre owned that is

[Ryukahn]

Ryukhan
I think someone said 18 months 499 already..

I skipped over it since it said TVs and Home Theater, but I guess that means there won't be a $299 one for anything in store. Oh well.

[maqamar]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but this deal is for games on all platforms!

[SuperPhillip]

nice, but i think i have all the ds games i really want. i already have mario 64 ds, new super mario, umk3, pokemon diamond & platinum.

Pfffffttttt. :P

[kodave]

Question: Does the Buy 1 Get 1 50% off apply to clearance games too?

[buffalo]

Getting Ice Age for 360 so looks like I'll be getting it at Toy R Us this week

[buffalo]

Nice deal, haven't picked up a DS game in awhile, can think of Legend Starfy that I want...but 2 others not sure...hmm well see.

[prateeko]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but this deal is for games on all platforms!

Uhhh, does anyone have a scan of the ad?

[chuckywang]

I'm gonna get Chrono Trigger DS and Henry Hatsworth....any other good action puzzle games for $30?

[Curufinwe]

Ryukhan

Devil Survivor was new, it's only just been released.

[bojay1997]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but this deal is for games on all platforms!

Pretty sure you're a liar.

[slidecage]

if it was across all plats. it would be so freaking neat

devil ds
Pangya: Fantasy Golf
and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

for 60 would kick ass

[Ryukahn]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but this deal is for games on all platforms!

Definitely need some kind of confirmation on this.

[rerun]

Is there a scan of the ad anywhere? I do want confirmation on the DVD deals this week.

[basketb]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but this deal is for games on all platforms!
I read the ad this morning and didn't see any indication that it would be for any platform other than the DS.

[quest1962]

Don't forget to join Best Buy's Reward Zone and their Gamers Club. Those game purchases will go a long way to 500 bonus points for an extra $10 reward.
And toward the $2500 BB Silver Reward Zone level, if you are in the market for anything higher priced this year. I made it last year at the last minute, because Mom needed a new TV (thank you, Black Friday!). This year, it was 2 laptops.

Now I need to say something on topic . . .

Yeah, I'll have to look at the entire canon of DS games. I don't have one, but Mom does! ;)

[kinga]

Any 360 or Blu Ray deals?

[Tdogg2k8]

Yea what happened, to all the ads, before last week when Target busted some people (w/ no consequences mind you) Ads are Scarce online are no more

What's so great about the "Silver" RZ?

[ShinAkuma]

Will Toys R Us ever carry Blazblue? I checked at two stores in the past two days and both stores don't have it, neither does the site.

I doubt it. I picked up my copy at a Gamestop because working at a TRU, I didn't exepct us to ever get it, but for the heck of it I copied the UPC off the box and punched it in the system, and it did not return an item SKN. Maybe they'll get the regular version, but again, probally not.

A discount would have been nice...

[fifthcore]

Thanks OP. Going to pick up Henry Hatsworth, Dragon Quest V, and Retro Game Challenge.

[xbox_mole]

What's so great about the "Silver" RZ?

If you shop there a lot you might find some of this useful to you:

You earn bonus points (25% on reg purchases / 50% on purchases with BB RZ Mastercard) on each purchase rather than $1 = 1 pt.

You get standard free shipping on all BestBuy.com purchases.

You have 45 days to return items purchased rather than the standard 30 days.

Ability to bank points so that you can save them up rather than have them spit out at the standard intervals that you can choose from if you want to save them for something big.

Special Silver Only member events.

Dedicated phone line so you can by pass the regular BestBuy customer service line.

1 Geek Squad Home Theater consultation per year (worth $99.99) and that includes a coupon worth $100 off a home theater system $499 and up.

[Pootie Thang]

I'm definitely getting the Bigs 2 on release day. So thanks OP!

[Curufinwe]

The fine print on the Weekly Ad says "Not valid with any other offers" so I guess that means the 10% off Reward Zone coupons won't work.

[slidecage]

seems its not online just instore ??

[Ryukahn]

seems its not online just instore ??

It's possible they just didn't update the site yet for the sale, but it's looking that way. You'd also have to pay for shipping online, but depending on your location you might spend a similar amount on gas to go there and back heh.

[skubish]

anyone been to Target yet to see what the other B1G1-50% off wii games are. It says selected games so I was just wondering before I head out.

[Shadow Cloud]

I doubt it. I picked up my copy at a Gamestop because working at a TRU, I didn't exepct us to ever get it, but for the heck of it I copied the UPC off the box and punched it in the system, and it did not return an item SKN. Maybe they'll get the regular version, but again, probally not.

A discount would have been nice...

Thanks, looks like I'll try to buy the game somewhere else then.

[slidecage]

i think i will pass.... not 3 games i would even want

[skubish]

The other games for B1G1 50% are
gold's gym
my fitness
six flags fun park
boom blox bash party
my sims racing
price is right
Indiana jones
gh: smash hits
tiger woods
vacation sports
ice age

pretty meh IMO

[Showstoppa42]

Picked up Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor, Retro Game Challenge, and Dawn of Discovery from Best Buy.

They wouldn't take the 10% coupon, but 3 games for $60 was a pretty good deal to me.

[Nebenator]

$50 for Red Faction: Guerrilla seems a little high.... 5 or 10 dollars less and I'll buy it.

[Xexyz]

Just a heads up, this might be just an isolated YMMV incident, but I picked up Starfy, Rhythm Heaven, and Pokemon Platinum today. Now usually these B2G1 free sales give you the cheapest game for free, but I wound up getting Platinum ($5 more than the other two) for free. It was the last game the clerk rang up, so I'm wondering if this sale is just going by the number that the games are rung up at, rather than figuring in the cheapest game as the freebie.

I was the first one to checkout at my Best Buy today, at 11:10 AM, so for all I know this possible fluke in their systems may have been rectified by now.

[angelus]

Picked up Retro Game Challenge, Legendary Starfy and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia at my Best Buy. I'm jealous of showstoppa42 since I wanted to pick up SMT: Devil Survivor but my local BB didn't have a copy.

Good deal.

You beat me to the post. Not a fluke.

The third DS game is ringing up free. Happened to me on two transactions at two diff BBs. Looks like a glitch in the deal.

[sergioalb64]

Happened to me, too; bought 2 $20 games, got the $30 one for free. Not my fault by any means; I handed out the $20 games and the $30 games separately :)

I got:

- Big Bang Mini
- Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir
- Personal Trainer: Math

- Henry Hatsworth
- Retro Game Challenge
- Treasure World

[PacManster17]

$23 bucks each! I'm thinking of picking up Pokemon Platinum, Retro Game Challenge and Professor Layton

[Vegan]

Remember when 4th of July weekend used to be The Weekend of Awesome Clearances? Those were the days.

[chuckywang]

OMG, so two clearance DS games + a third DS game means that third DS game is free?

[cochesecochese]

OMG, so two clearance DS games + a third DS game means that third DS game is free?

Looks like it. If I can track down a copy of DQIV then I'm going back to BB for a second helping.

[spraypaintnink]

Best buy will price match the target wii deal right?

[whataboutbob?]

Just bought red faction from best buy 5 days ago.....will they credit me back $10 if I take the receipt to them?

[spraypaintnink]

Just bought red faction from best buy 5 days ago.....will they credit me back $10 if I take the receipt to them?

I think so, I bought a tv from best buy and they matched an offer from frys a few days later.

I bought 2 wii games a few days ago and now am hoping best buy will price match as well.

[wjhard63]

Thanks OP's! I was able to hit the Best Buy in Florence, KY to pick up Legendary Starfy, SMT: Devil Survivor, & Knights in the Nightmare. Though the 10% coupon didn't work, I can confirm that the the third game is free, even if it happens to be the most expensive of the 3. I didn't purposely give the cashier KitN last, but she scanned it as the free game, which was the most expensive of the 3. With GC's from recycling computer monitors (a $20 fee offset with GC's) and $15 in RZ certs, I paid $27.xx out the door - very nice!

I also stopped by TRU to pick up the Conduit and to get the $10 GC for purchasing it. I was able to stack the 15% coupon off the game, plus use a $10 off a $50 purchase or more coupon we got with a TRU mailer, so I walked out with the Conduit $32.50 plus a $10 GC that will go towards diapers/wipes - ah the joys of parenthood! Thanks again, OP's!

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, the $10 off coupon didn't work for me either.

But I got The Legendary Starfy, Broken Sword and SMT: Devil Survivor for the DS - all of which were $29.99 games. The teller scanned in Broken Sword as the free game.

[burritoman]

anyone been to Target yet to see what the other B1G1-50% off wii games are. It says selected games so I was just wondering before I head out.
At my local Target, it was the games listed in the ad plus 4 or 5 crappy games. I argued to try and get it but ended up just saying fuck that couch and seeing if Walmart or BB will price match.

Otherwise I'll just wait until the GS B2G1 sale and get Punch Out and The Conduit and something else.

[Killbomb]

Picked up Devil Survivor, Suikoden Tierkries and Final Fantasy IV at Best Buy. Had some RZ certficates so $54.39 for 3 games is a pretty good deal. :D

[worrybomb]

I've picked up at Best Buy the following DS games:



SMT: Devil Survivor
The Legendary Starfy
Henry Hatsworth

I figure Broken Sword and Dragon Quest V (two other games I wanted) would either be reduced lower or made into an Amazon DotD in the future.

I'm glad to see Retro Game Challenge is being picked up. Definitely get the game if you're looking to get the "free" game offer. It's worth it and we can definitely hope for a localization of the sequel. =)

[Curufinwe]

That's four people who got Devil Survivor just on this one page.

[zedarkness]

Thoes are the exact 3 Im planning on getting. So if what ur saying is correxct, I could just buy 2 $10 games and get a free $35 game? if thats true, this deal is OP

[chuckywang]

I did the BB deal twice today:

Boogie - $9.99
Henry Hatworth - $29.99
Final Fantasy Echoes of Time - FREE


Army Men - Soldiers of MisFortune - $9.99
Naked Brothers Band - 6.00
Chrono Trigger - FREE

So $56 + tax for 3 games I wanted, and I immediately flipped the 3 junk games for $9.75 in GS credit. I know BB clearance deals are YMMV but if you can find any DS games for under $10, this is quite a great deal.

Hmmmmmmmm... I know my bestbuy has a ton of DS games on clearance (all junk). But if I could do something like that to get a $30+ game for free, and then flip the junk to get a few bucks back, this could be even better than originally planned. I'll have to check this out tomorrow and see if I can get anything good to work out.

[Tdogg2k8]

Best buy will price match the target wii deal right?


Its honestly at your particular BB's Discretion if they match a deal or not....
Sometimes they do, Sometimes they will meet you half way

like 2 weeks ago when Toys R us was giving away 20 gift card for buying ghost busters i went to to Best buy and they were only willing to do 10 dollars off

[icedrake523]

How much was Chrono Trigger?

[chuckywang]

how much was chrono trigger?

$29.99

[Estebon]

Did anyone get any clearance games and the B2G1 free to work?

[lakers310]

Did anyone get any clearance games and the B2G1 free to work?


Everything works for it except for games that ring up as "holiday bundles", at least for me.

[kodave]

Can anyone confirm if the third-game-free-glitch at Best Buy is still working as of Monday?

[Gulshog]

Picked up Devil Survivor, Suikoden Tierkries and Final Fantasy IV at Best Buy. Had some RZ certficates so $54.39 for 3 games is a pretty good deal. :D

That's hilarious, as that is what I was looking to get for my three DS games. But, it looked like my local BB had put away most of the Square titles...I always see FFIV there...tons of copies. But, I got there right as they opened, no way they could have sold that many in 5 minutes time.

Anyway, I got SMT: Devil Survivor, Suikoden: Tierkries, and Professor Layton. I've been wanting to play Devil Survivor, as I loved P3FES. Suikoden is another one I wanted, as I played the original on my PSP, after buying the PS1 Classic digital release. And, Professor Layton has intrigued me, and I love Level 5, so I feel good about my purchases.

:)

My wallet didn't need more money being spent, though. It came out to $23 each, which is a good deal, to me.

[Gulshog]

Can anyone confirm if the third-game-free-glitch at Best Buy is still working as of Monday?

I don't know, but I am so tempted to go back and get Chrono Trigger, Henry Hatsworth or FFIV, and Sonic Chronicles.

[nflsonic]

Can anyone confirm if the third-game-free-glitch at Best Buy is still working as of Monday?

I can confirm of the third-game-free-glitch still works as of today. It was quite a hilarious process though.

The cashier, which I suspect was fairly new at the job, rang up all three of my games (Rhythm Heaven, Ninja Gaiden, Peggle) with the first being the most expensive game, Rhythm Heaven. When she rang them up, the total came to around $70.xx because the deal was not active. I told her that it was supposed to be a B2G1 free. She called the manager over, browsed through their own weekly ad for 3 minutes and then he manually typed in the cheapest game for free.

As the new total came in, she asked if I was a RZ member and I said yes. She inputed my information in, I hit confirm, and then all of a sudden it gave both Peggle and Ninja (both $20) for free. She then became lost and confused and a fellow cashier came to help. She went back a few pages to when all three games were charged and then the message popped up on the computer screen prompting them of the B2G1 free DS deal. It then rang up Rhythm Heaven for free.

As this whole thing was going on, me and my friend were just holding in our patience and laughter. As I swiped my credit card for payment, both cashiers knew that the cheapest game was not credited and wispered to each other to be quiet to the manager about this!

It took some unnessary time, but it was worth it. I want to try again later this week, but I'm not going to be too hopeful this will happen again easier.

[cheapa$$]

I picked up Blue Dragon Plus $17 Hotel Dusk $19 Suikoden Tierkries (free $34.99) $41 total
then went back and picked up Final Fantasy Echoes $39 Devil Survivor $29 GTA Chinatown (free $34.99). The cashier scanned Final Fantasy last but GTA being a mature title apparently had a pop up to confirm age and it didn't get scanned till after FF bc he didn't notice the pop up the first time around but only $5 I lost there and ended up with 6 games for $20 a pop not too bad imo for new copies.

[Estebon]

Glitch is still active as of 4:30 Ohio time

Got Puzzle Quest, some lame $10 game I'm exchanging, and Suikoden Tierkries for free.

So it was active in Orlando at 6pm. Made for a very awesome deal. :bouncy: although i feel i could have bought a bunch of garbage games and got the expensive ones free, o well. :)

Chrono Trigger and Henry Hatsworth are only $19.99??? When I was there the tags for both said $29.99.

(I ended up picking up Big Bang Mini and Age of Mythologies for $19.99 each and getting Dawn of Discovery for free (normally $29.99))

[Tdogg2k8]

so what do u have to do for this Glitch?
i dont have a DS but it would be worth picking up cheap games and getting an expensive one for free. then going down to gamestop

They were both just dropped, mine were listed as such, but they should still ring up as $19.99.

[hehjoy]

Just got Chrono Trigger, Cooking Mama, and Pokemon Platinum for 42.38. The cashier was so confused, haha.

[Asamiya]

Picked up
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
New Super Mario Bros.
Rhythm Heaven
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario 64 DS
Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume

TIPS: Try to get the Cashier to scan the expensive ones last.
Works like a charm!


Also, Vegas boys and girls beat me to SMT: Devil Survivor. Bastards! JK, HAHAHA! :D

Edit: Yeah the Chrono Trigger Price dropped today.

[rperez1025]

Cool beans, thanks guys for the price drop confirmations.

Tomorrow it's Chrono Trigger, Henry Hatsworth and Retro Game Challenge or Devil Survivor.

[Teeheehee]

Did anyone see if Yu-Gi-Oh 5D Stardust Accelerator was in stock at any BB? The only games I can think of getting is that and Devil Survivor, and I have no idea what to get for the 3rd, since I pretty much got almost all the games I want for now.

[zedarkness]

Starfy $30
Devil Survivor $30
Rhtyhm Heaven FREE[Org $30]

Chrono Trigger $20
Puzzle Quest galactrix $20
Dragon Quest V FREE[Org $40]

[utopianmachine]

Edit: Found a store that had DQV!

I want Dragon Quest V, but no store around me has it. Anyone want to trade games? I pick you up something in my area you can't find in yours?

Dude, if you would have told me earlier. I would have traded for Devil Survivor. :(

[Killbomb]

That's hilarious, as that is what I was looking to get for my three DS games. But, it looked like my local BB had put away most of the Square titles...I always see FFIV there...tons of copies. But, I got there right as they opened, no way they could have sold that many in 5 minutes time.

I had something similar with Devil Survivor at the first Best Buy I went to. It was listed as available on the site but nowhere to be found on the store shelf. I was too hungover to bother anyone to look for it so I went home and slept some more then got my games at another store later. :D

Anyway, I am really surprised this glitch has not been fixed yet. When I bought my stuff yesterday, I had Suikoden on the bottom since it was $5 more than the other 2 but the cashier flipped them over before he scanned them. Probably a good thing because I'm sure I would have felt guilty about it afterwards...lol.

Thinking about going back tomorrow and running up my Best Buy credit card a bit more. :D

[kodave]

Does anyone know if generally there more games in-store than listed on Best Buy's website? I have a wishlist of DS games and only a handful are on the BB website (excluding the rare and no longer produced ones), and I'd like to maximize this deal as much as possible by not buying games I really don't want.

[Estebon]

I wonder if the Guitar Hero bundles would be given free?

[kevzik]

I wonder if the Guitar Hero bundles would be given free?

I am going to say yes, because it is a DS game and I successfully got the DS walking game bundle for free.

[Estebon]

Then lets hope the glitch is still up @ 4pm tomorrow when I get a chance to go.

[Tdogg2k8]

so basically you have them scan cheapest to more expensive

[chosen1s]

I've said this before but I just really want to thank the CAG community. Have had my eye on Chrono Trigger for some time now, bought it and another ds game yesterday, and knew nothing about this sale. Happened to be on CAG and saw a post about Chrono dropping to $19.99 and somebody had commented about this sale.

20 minutes later, I had returned/re-purchased and had a free game.

Just wanted to tell Cheapyd and this community "thanks so much" one more time.

[PaulDE01]

The glitch as of this morning is still active. I picked up

Broken Sword
Chrono Trigger
Devil Survivor (FREE)

Christiana, DE Best Buy

[utopianmachine]

Edit: Found a store that had DQV!

Sweet. I'll be heading out soon.

Last check for this. I want Dragon Quest V, but no store around me has it. Anyone want me to pick up a game they can't find in their area and we trade?

[shrike4242]

Ran over to my local BB yesterday and picked up Henry Hatsworth, Sonic Chronicles and Broken Sword. Assuming everything is still in stock later today, I should run by and pick up PQ Galactrix, Peggle DS and Retro Game Challenge.

[evophile]

How are you guys getting them to scan the games in your preferred order? (expensive one last)

The DS games at my BB all come in the security cases, so its not simply a matter of stacking them correctly. Usually once they take them out of the cases the cashier scans them in random order.

Well it's a hit or miss, You give him/her on a stack expensive one first. As he/she takes of the security cases he/her will then stack them again now the expensive one at the bottom.

But, I guess it all depends on how the cashier does his/her thing.

Edit: You could give it to them one by one, but I think they might get suspicious.

[worrybomb]

Any tips on how to make the glitch work? Thinking of picking up Broken Sword, Moon, and Dragon Quest V in a few.

Argh! I just did this and for some random reason she flipped the whole stack over.

I had the first two in my hands and the most expensive one under my arm. I gave her the first two[Chrono and PQ galactrix] and then, after she scanned the first two, fofered her the most expensive title[Dragon Quest V] and said I wanted it too. Worked like a charm =) Even if they get suspicious, its not like they can really do anything.

[Layd Dly]

Mine werent in Security cases, so i just had my stack of 6 in priced in groups in case they tried to give me the cheapest 2 of all 6 then i would just do 2 different transactions. So i just put my stack on the counter and my cashier just went in order that they were placed.

top
19.99

[bvharris]

This. You can always plead ignorance.

I was just checking online and it doesn't look like my local BB has any of the games I'd want (DQV, Sonic Chronicles).. I'll probably head in after work to check it out anyway, but my hopes aren't high.

[lakers310]

If anybody can't decide what to get for a 3rd game, could you get me Yu-Gi-Oh Stardust Accelerator 2009? PM me and we can work out a price. I can't find that game in my area.

[lawdood]

Glitch still working as of noon Pacific time. I picked up Chrono Trigger, Henry Hatsworth and Personal Trainer Walking and it worked flawlessly. The girl was even shocked by it taking off the $50 game but had no problem with it as we chatted.

What I did was as she was taking them out of the security cases, I asked if I could take a look at the Personal Trainer one to make sure it was the one I was supposed to be picking up. As I held that one and looked at it, she scanned in the other two and then I handed it to her to make sure it was the last one scanned. 8-)

I was just checking online and it doesn't look like my local BB has any of the games I'd want (DQV, Sonic Chronicles).. I'll probably head in after work to check it out anyway, but my hopes aren't high.I ran into the same issue with the BB.com website for Sonic Chronicles and Broken Sword, though if you call the store and give them the SKU #, they can check to see if it's in-stock. My store found copies of each and put them up at customer service with my name on it.

When the BB.com website shows that it's not in-stock for in-store pickup, it could be two things:

1) There's 0-2 copies of them in-stock. BB.com shows it's available for in-store pickup if there's 3+ copies on-hand.
2) Someone tried to order it for in-store pickup and the runner for fulfilling the order couldn't find it in the store, and marked it as NO PICK. Once that happens, there could be 1, 10, 100 or 1000 of the item and it won't allow for in-store pickup. A manager in the store has to fix the issue with the NO PICK and allow for in-store pickup again.

Option #1 is the much more likely cause for it not showing it being in-stock than Option #2.

I'd recommend calling the store with the SKU # and see if they can physically locate it, if RSS shows they have 1 or 2 copies (or more) on-hand. If they have it, ask them to leave it at the CS desk for you.

Thanks a million, didn't know that and it's very helpful information. :D My BB is on my way home from work anyway, and I was stopping in to pick up the $10 deal on Matt Hazard, so I'll just check out the DS games while I'm there and see if I get lucky.

[Strell]

Shrewd. I like it.

Can confirm glitch working as of....20 minutes ago. Did it totally by accident, having not read this thread beforehand. I only went to BB to see if Hatsworth was there, since I've wanted it forever and noticed the price drop to 20. Grabbed Big Bang Mini and Retro Game Challenge, and by total luck got RGC for free. Was shocked but happy.

Debating if I ought to go again in order to get Stafy and/or Kirby.

[Curufinwe]

Smooth. :applause:

[Tdogg2k8]

just act like ur debating getting the most expensive game or not

[worrybomb]

Glitch was working at purchasing time which was 2:45pm EST in NY. I bought Broken Sword, Moon, and received Dragon Quest V for free.

Also if you were like me and gotten burned when you bought any of the recent priced drop DS games before their new price took effect, I would suggest heading to BB and getting it price matched. I did it for Henry Hatsworth. Overall, I must've spent $90 on 6 DS games. Not bad at all.

[jollydwarf]

Didn't know about glitch, but it worked for me. Managed to settle on Moon, That Sonic BioWare RPG ('official' enough for me, dagnabbit!), each $19.99, and Devil Summoner ($29.99) for $42 and change. I had two twenties, a ten, and a five out, and tried to keep a poker face when the cashier gave me the total. It was a younger guy, so while it was probably just the luck of the order in the stack, maybe he was lookin' to help a gamer brother out.

P.S. Forgot to state that this occurred this afternoon.

[utopianmachine]

Got Sonic Chronicles, Henry Hatsworth, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time as my free game.

I'm still wanting Dragon Quest V if anyone has a store that has it and wants to trade games.

[bvharris]

Couldn't find anything I really wanted among the DS games. Probably for the best since I just got Fire Emblem and TWEWY from Amazon. Not that that's ever stopped me before.

Damn good deal! Now I am definitely going to hit up BB tomorrow.

[kodave]

Shit if this glitch works for the Guitar Hero games I might pick up one or two. I've been wanting them, but I already owned the first one so I don't want to pay for additional "guitar" accessories that come packed in.

[Superstar_Graham]

What about just telling the cashier to "ring up these 2 first."

[lawdood]

What about just telling the cashier to "ring up these 2 first."

Because if they were to ask why, you'd be bringing more attention to the glitch than you might want. Only takes one eager beaver of a checkout clerk to call over a manager esp. if they think you're trying to pull a fast one on the store.

[Teeheehee]

I managed to get Devil Survivor, Yugioh 5D 2009, and GTA CW. The cashier rang up GTA last ($35, the expensive one of the 3), and she noticed it and mentioned about it being the free one. She didn't care enough to redo the transaction, so it was all good.

Yup like i said earlier 4 of the 6 games i bought stated that my store did not have them. But i did grab the last copies of 3 of them, but still worth a shot. :applause:

[willardhaven]

Can I exchange a 0.00 game for a 19.99 one if it says "originally at 19.99"?

[redsoxfan808]

Can I exchange a 0.00 game for a 19.99 one if it says "originally at 19.99"?

I have a similar question. The game I want is currently not in stock at Best Buy. Is it possible to have the "free" third game be of equal value as the out of stock game; then exchange the "free" game for the game that I want went it is restocked at Best Buy. Thanks.

[Killbomb]

Just went back to Best Buy and got Legendary Starfy, Professor Layton and Retro Game Challenge for DS along with PS3-Eat Lead for $9.99 with the Gamer's Club coupon. I now think I am close to getting in the Guiness Book for largest video game backlog. :D

[kodave]

The glitch is alive and well as of Tuesday around 7 PM Pacific. All three of my games were in plastic casings. I put the two cheaper ones down first, and kept the third one under my arm. The girl at the register immediately started to scan and take the first two games out of their plastic casings as I reached for my wallet. I then put down the the third game after pulling out my wallet, and she scanned it last. The computer came up with some $90 total and she repeated that to me, but before I could even get the words out to say one should be free, the computer slowly took off the third game, and the girl just said "Oh it looks like you get one free" and I just said "Oh yeah. Ok."

I got Henry Hatsworth for $19.99, Super Mario 64 DS for $29.99, and GTA Chinatown Wars for free, originally $34.99, for a total of $54.35 after taxes.

That makes each game $18.11 if you want to look at it that way.

The Best Buy I went to had rather slim pickings. A lot of stuff was OOS. There was one Chrono Trigger for $19.99 hidden behind another game - I think a lot of people here have been getting that.

The only other games in stock that interested me were Flash Focus, Rhythm Heaven, and Guitar Hero Decades and/or Modern Hits.

Touchmaster 2 and Kirby Superstar Ultra were sold out. Other stores have Touchmaster 2 in stock, but I'm not sure Touchmaster 2 and Flash Focus are even worth $18ish

The LEGO versions of Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Batman are all temping and would come out to $14.49 each, but with the Wii versions rapidly approaching that price, I'm not sure I want the DS versions - unless anyone knows of a reason why the DS games would be a better buy.

I think it'll just this one round of games for me.

[Astro7x]

Thank god Best Buy price matches instant gift cards! Will be headings to BB tomorrow to get The Bigs 2 with a $10 gift card from the TRU ad.

[MacroidToe]

I picked up Hatsworth, Retro Game Challenge, and Knights in the Nightmare earlier today. Unfortunately, they flipped the stack as they took them out of the security cases. It occurred to me after the fact that I should have put Hatsworth in the middle, so that regardless of which way they flipped it I'd still at least get RGC for free if not Knights. :(

I suppose I could always return them all tomorrow and rebuy them. :p

same thing happened with me with hatsworth, professor layton, and kirby ss. im glad to see the glitch is still up. im going back tomorrow to return them.

im just wondering....should i wait a day to rebuy them after i return them or just go again later that day (my local BB is 5 minutes away)?

Who cares? If they have more on the shelves, just return them and re-buy them 2 minutes later.

lol.....i was just about to edit my post. i remembered i saw one or two more copies of each game so i'll just pick em up when i return them.

[theflicker]

Pretty sweet. Got:

Henry Hatsworth 19.99
Personal Trainer: Math 19.99
Personal Trainer: Walking 49.99 ->FREE

No Chrono Triggers at my store, but with the universal drop, I'll get it used at Gamestop later this month in the B2G1. Unless I can think of another higher priced DS title . . .

[Papageno]

The Sunday ad deals just suck anymore now that Circuit City is gone. Although RF:G is good enough to pay full price for.

[kodave]

I wonder how much Best Buy is losing on this deal? Its amazing that no cashier has reported it to their manager, who would then report it to district/regional/corporate.

[bvharris]

My guess is that the number of people who are doing it intentionally is comparatively small. That said, they HAVE to be aware of it by now, right?

[willardhaven]

I'm going to give it a shot in a little while.

[dragonjud]

Glitch still working as as of noon (EST). I simply held on to the last game in my hands until she had rung up the other two (pretending to read as others have done).

[Bucknut]

Glitch working at 2pm est, i had the pile upside down with barcodes facing up, got retro game challenge, age of empires, and GH modern rock bundle for free.

[MacroidToe]

Glitch still working as of about an hour ago.

Haha, okay, so as I mentioned before, when I went yesterday, the guy flipped my stack ($20, $30, $35) as he opened the security cases, so I ended up with the $20 game free instead of the $35 game.

I returned everything today and made a second attempt, this time ordering my stack as $35, $20, $30 (with the $20 game in the middle to avoid the worst-case scenario). Except this time the girl DIDN'T flip the stack. >_<

Should have used the "pretend to read" maneuver, but I still ended up with the $30 game free, and that's good enough for me. $5 loss is more acceptable than $15. Truly, we are the cheapest of ass gamers.

Ha ha, I actually tried again for the heck of it yesterday. I had my stack with the most expensive on top. And for the first time ever for me at Best Buy the girl started scanning the games without taking them out of the security case! In my head I was totally WTF!!!

[Estebon]

Can you get six games at once and the last 2 games be the free one?

Also, instead of pretending to read, you can take two games, have them scan the others and just tell them that you're debating which one to get and then give them the game once they scan the other two.

[kodave]

Just hang on to the most expensive one under your arm. Its a sure fire way to get it free. Or if two games are the same price, just sandwich them. There's no reason not to milk this for all its worth. Now I'm really tempted to go back and spend money I don't have to get that $50 GH:ON:MH game, especially since it says online that Kirby Superstar Ultra is back in stock at my store...

[willardhaven]

I got two Chrono Triggers and a Dragon Quest V came up free. I'm going to sell it and possibly give a Chrono Trigger to some friends for Christmas.

[blackwaltz34]

i went back to return henry hatsworth, kirby ssu, and professor layton since the cashier scanned henry hatsworth last. i bought them again and pretended to read the back of professor layton to make sure it would be the last one to be scanned.


my cheapness is making me wonder if i shouldve picked up the last copy of dragon quest v in place of kirby ssu to get more bang for my buck....oh well

[pob14]

I didn't try it (couldn't focus on what to buy), but there is a sign prominently displayed in the DS section of my Best Buy that says: "Free game MUST be the lowest price of the three." So, are they maybe tumbling to this at last?

[utopianmachine]

When the BB.com website shows that it's not in-stock for in-store pickup, it could be two things:

This information from Shrikey caused me to visit my closet Best Buy. Turns out that they have TONS of games I'm not used to seeing, such as Lux-Pain, Shin Megami Sensei: Devil Survivor, Dropcast, River King, and so forth. They just have 1 to 2 copies of almost everything I saw, even Pokemon Platinum, which so many stores seem to have 600 copies of.

I returned the three games I got the other day (Sonic Chronicles, Henry Hatsworth, and FFCC: Echoes of Time -- so wanted to keep that...), but I ended up getting games I wanted way more: Broken Sword, Avalon Code, and Dragon Quest V! Yes, for those that have seen me post over and over about how I'd be willing to trade for DQV, I finally have it! So happy! :bouncy:

[ajh2298]

Just checking if the ads inside the TRU's B&M stores have the 15% off coupons in them, my parents didnt get the TRU in their paper this week. I know sometimes the TRU ads that they put out inside the stores do not have the coupons printed in them.

The more I read these posts, the more I am surprised the morality police have not descended on this thread yet. I remember several of them being around when Target had the buy 2 get 1 on PS3 games and people were talking about buying games at Target then taking a new, shrinkwrapped game back to the place they bought it the week before. This pushes the limit WAY farther than that in my opinion.

[Layd Dly]

When i was out on the other side of town today i stopped in at the Best Buy (larger one) and tried to pick up some games their. This time my games were in cases so i knew my original stack from highest to lowest method on the counter wasn't going to be so easy . Low and Behold he flips the stack over and starts ringing them up backwards and through the case as someone else mentioned) :bomb:


But heres the good part. Since i was with my wife, she interrupted him while he was ringing up the last game since she saw my reaction to what he did. And asked if he could do her a huge favor and ring everything up in a different order (was also buying a CD), Of course he said "Yes" but was i bit confused but willing to accomodate. So me thinking on my feet knowing what she was trying to do, I convincingly blurted out "OCD strikes again!" which he totally bought. And she tried putting them in order, i helped out since she still put them in the wrong order, all in numerical order from Lowest price to Highest (cd first since it was 7.99). And He totally bought how it all had to be in order.


Cliff Notes: Anyone looking for a method for gettin gyour most expensive game for free, is to try the MONK method

And Lastly my pickup was:
Broken Sword - $19.99
Blue Dragon Plus - $23.99
Dragon Quest V - $FREE (39.99)

My store doesnt have any plastic cases on any ds game, so i just took the pile with bar codes facing up, they scanned in that order.

[PDJ]

Worked for me this afternoon. Picked up Chrono Trigger, Broken Sword, and Shin Megami Tensei all for $4X.XX. Might go back tomorrow to see if I can get FFIV with two $6 games.

Just got my DSi from amazon today and already have 6 games for it lol.

lol my DSi JUST came in today too from Amazon and now I have 11 games for it xD. Im considering picking up two $20 games and a thrid game like Animal Crossing that wont go down in price

[Estebon]

Got Ninja Gaiden, Nanostray, Devil Survivor, and a coke for $24.51

The first two were "manager specials", so I took them over to customer service since they have to manually adjust the price to $10 on the first two. If I go to a regular cashier, they would need someone to go and override it and the manager who goes might not let it go through.

He adjusted it and I gave him Devil Survivor as I tried my "deciding which game I want method" and decided on Devil Survivor over My Math coach.

He hit total and presto, an average of $7 per game.

[kodave]

Best Buy is a giant publicly traded corporation who should have oversight for this kind of ridiculousness, unless they're so overflowing with DS games on the shelves they just don't care.

If they're going to give us any game for free, I don't see anything immoral about scoring as many free games or flipping any free games to make yourself a profit provided you're not defrauding anyone. If you buy two games and get GH Modern Hits and then sell GH MH for $40 and pay for your other two games, good for you, Best Buy should have been more careful if their intent wasn't to give you any game for free.

A publicly traded company worth billions or whatever surely could afford to do a little oversight on their deals, or double check their computer entries for discounts. Some intern is going to be crunching the numbers on how successful this discount was in a few months and realize people were scoring big games for free. Oh well.

Just stop. Please do not fuel him and tank this thread at least until the sale is over and it's moved to discussion.

It would be so easy to change a few nouns in that rationalization to make it support outright piracy. But honestly, most all morality arguments are completely full of it, so what's that really worth?

I got three games on Tuesday:
Mario Party DS $30
Professor Layton & The Curious Village $30
Kirby Super Star Ultra FREE

I went back yesterday and got a bunch more knowing about the glitch but not knowing if it was fixed yet so I made the checkout lady do the $20 games separately from the more expensive ones just in case the cheapest would be free:
Moon $20
Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir $20
Peggle Dual Shot FREE
Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure $20
Big Bang Mini $20
Boing Docomodake DS FREE

Did these on the separate order and tried to get Personal Trainer: Walking ($50) scanned last:
Rhythm Heaven $30
The Legendary Starfy $30
Personal Trainer: Walking FREE

I tried to only get games that were more then $20 from Nintendo because they rarely drop in price. I was going to get Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games but it finally dropped from $35 to $20 at GameStop today and I didn't have two other games to pair it with. Overall with this and the GameStop deal (Got Wheelman/HAWX/Bionic Commando for $20 each) this was a great couple of days for my collection.

Off to bb, does this still work?

Edit: Well I tries to buy chrono trigger, guitar hero on tour and the guitar hero decades with the guitar grip, and not only did it not make the decades game(the third one that got rung up) free, it charged me dull price for all of them! According to the cashier, the guitar hero with the guitar grip doesn't count as a game!

Hey does anyone know which Wii games at Target apply to the Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off sale? Our Target is quite far and we don't want to drive all the way tuere just to found out the games we want aren't part of the deal. Thanks!

Does anyone know if Valkyrie Profile DS dropped today to $20 at BB like it did at EB? I got it yesterday and paid $40 for it (woman rang it up 2nd instead of last...grrr....).

That sucks bro. I just scored Dragon Quest IV (very well hidden on the rack, pissed off a BB employee who wanted to buy it since it was obviously the last copy. Sorry buddy..), Layton and Personal Trainer:Walking for $60. I am damn happy right now. I spent about 160 at the sale and wound up with 9 games.

I just went up to a teenager who was obviously new to BB and asked her to tell me how much the two cheaper games cost because I wasn't sure if I had enough money. As she did that I just said 'Oh...maybe I want a coke' and walked over to the cooler with Personal Trainer in my hand. When I got back both games were scanned so I just gave her Personal Trainer and she scanned it last. It was pretty slow in there so nobody paid any mind.

Unless we get another incredible sale in the next 5 months, this is my 'deal of the year.' Thank you: MidnightMetal!

Did she hit enter to finalize your total because thats when the screen pops out to give you a free game.

Is this busted now? Can anyone confirm?
