[DEAD] PC Sims 2 - JCPenney.com - $21.99 + shipping/tax

[e1337gamer]

Snagged the deal from FatWallet, I think it counts as a cheap ass deal

Price should be $21.99, which is significantly cheaper than retail $49.99. On Pricegrabber, the price is $41.95, link (http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=3826467/search=Sims%25202)

Quoted from Capulous on FW:
Hi,

I did a search and didn't see a post about Sims 2 at JCPenney.com. As the title indicates JCPenney.com has Sims 2 for $21.99 +shipping/tax. Since I do not see if for anything less than ~$35, I believe this is a hot deal. Don't forget FatCash for an additional 3.3% back. Estimated time is 2 weeks to recieve item from warehouse. There is also no indication if this is the CD or DVD version. I called a rep, but they did not have the information either.

This is my first post so please don't be too brutal if there are any mistakes.

Regards,

linky (http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/Products.aspx?DeptID=446&CatID=12110&CatTyp=&ItemT yp=G&GrpTyp=PRD&ItemID=0AD2F96&ProdSeq=1&Cat=compu ter+games&Dep=toys&PCat=&PCatID=1174&RefPage=Produ ctList&Sale=&ProdCount=1&RecPtr=&SearchIn=0&ShowMe nu=T&TTYP=&ShopBy=0&PersistenceID=INETMER103+37638 74+1939620187&RecordID=M+1+0+Aqc0000800+3763767++A qc0000800&SearchString=Sims+2)

Ya gotta love that JC Penny! I always go there for my video game shopping needs.

[Ledhed]

$30.04 after tax and shipping. If the picture on the site is anything to go by, it's the CD version. Nice deal, again I'm too broke to do it.

Oh Galford, does your treachery know no bounds?

[pimp tyranny]

awesome deal

[biggestinuyashafan]

now i wish i hadn't bought this a few weeks ago at GS for $44 something (with my employee discount). i would have bought it from this instead... oh well, nice find.

[radjago]

Apparently, they have the new NES Classic Series 2 games for sales too: Zelda II, Dr. Mario, Castlevania, and Metroid for $21.99

[jlarlee]

Dude I am so going to be in my wife's good graces. Ty OP for the great nookie I shall recieve

[roguejedi5]

What?! Jcpenny actually sells games? since when? But they only sell it online, huh?

[Scorch]

I think they mispriced it, maybe they thought it was an expansion pack.. great deal

[Kirin Lemon]

I'm assuming the shipping charge is *supposed* to show up at "TBD" on the order summary when using the code for free shipping? If it's supposed to say something else, I'd hate to get slapped with the fee later.

(Amazing, I actually posted for once, instead of just lurking!)

[jshawnd]

Great deal. Thanks!

[GuilewasNK]

Oh why does my PC have to be so woefully underpowered? :(

I got the TBD as well. I hope that doesnt mean they will determine shipping should be $10.

[doubledown]

Nice deal....not sure if I can get into the Sims though, never was THAT big of a fan, although I haven't played it in YEARS.

[ZForce]

I ordered one, I'm not a huge Sims fan, but for $21, I can enjoy it. Hopefully this won't become a fiasco like the playstation.com thing

Surprised to find this at JCPenney's. Now I can pick up some high heel pumps, bra and panties, and Sims 2 all at one place!

[hiccupleftovers]

I didn't know that JCpenny even sells games. Oh well grab it while you can.

[damack]

The coupons don't seem to be working for me. Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: Never mind, I got it.

[Nirvanaguy777]

just ordered it, sickest deal its a 50 dollar game, only 24 with shipping, I love CAG, the only bad thing is that its factory ship so with will take like 3 weeks too get here

[Nirvanaguy777]

dam my credit card is now about 50 bucks away from the limit dammit, Im paying it all ASAP

[Darkflight]

Placed my order @ 1AM last night... I so hope this goes through... I'm just concerned about the TBD portion for shipping... (Tax came in ok)

[Strider Turbulence]

I doubt my PC can even run the SIMS2 but for that price I'm tempted to buy it and run that risk.

That's what happened to my order when they completed it.

[slidecage]

i be all over it but my PC SUCKS cant handle it

anyone know do u need a 3d card

[locutus411]

Great deal! I'm not much of a Sims fan but the wife loves it. Thanks OP. Great first post.

[doubledown]

Remeber, it's the CD version....there is also a DVD version.....there is some difference....don't know what...don't care ;)

[Scorch]

Just extra material and whatnot on the DVD.

That and the fact that the CD version is four CDs while the DVD is one DVD.

[jlarlee]

I checked my order and it shows shipping is still TBD even though I used that code. Also does anyone have a second order showing up that is just catalogs and doesn't cost anything. I had a second order dated for Nov 11 with catalogs

Wonder what I'll get charged if it "does not qualify for special promotion". :shock:

[buster90]

Is this a new game or something cause I know nothing about PC games.

Mine says 0.00 shipping and just Special Promotion, not does not qualify

[hrsh]

Me too.

Mine also says 0.00 shipping and just Special Promotion, not does not qualify

[TheRealDye]

Is this a new game or something cause I know nothing about PC games.

yea it was just released mid september I think. dont remember exact date

[strebor]

Yeah, September 14th. It's a good game, just not sure if it's worth $50 so I picked it up for this price instead. I don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks for a game for less than half price.

On the email confirmation they sent me, it said:

IM676-3246FA The SIMS 2 by Electr $21.99 1 $21.99 FS
2 weeks
Discount Type: Special Promotion

Total: $23.80

This Order Total is an Estimate

Hope the estimate doesn't go up to $50...
but mine doesn't say anything about not qualitying for the special promotion.

[skinsfan56la]

Just ordered it. If the estimate goes back up i'm cancelling.

Mine says the exact same thing. Guh.

Edit: I just called their customer service number, and was told that I was indeed charged only $21.99. I feel better now.

[Magician]

Awesome deal! Jump on it (that means you, Ledhed....)!

At least, I would be all over this if my computer could actually run it... My dad offered to get me a new graphics card awhile back, but I turned him down. It would be a waste, since I almost never play on my computer....

[Gothic Walrus]

Damn...if I had the money and the time to play it...

On the plus side, they'll probably have two or three expansions by the time I can play it. :D

[Jaket]

i ordered one.... i like the sims bustin out for my GBA... hopefully i will enjoy this too!

[TheGreat2nd]

Mine says S&H is TBD and that the total order is an estimate.
What if the estimate is, say about...$50 X.x

[yyr]

This just sold out =(

Congrats to those that got in on it.

[Fatesealer]

I got in on it... RAWK!!!

[TheGreat2nd]

Whoa, it's sold out.
Good thing I got to it before others did :P

[Owen]

I was able to get this price matched at Circuit City for a total of $20 and some change (difference plus 10%). I took the DVD Special Edition up to the customer service counter and they had no problems using my printout of the JC Penney page.

[Kaijufan]

I wish I had seen this earler, because my brother is a big Sims fan, and I know he would have bought the Sims 2 for $22.

[RoadDogg]

I just checked my order because i was bored and shipping was changed to TBA :roll: atleast i still have my email reciept saying its free.

[madmab]

It's a shame this deal died so quickly. I actually like this enough to buy this one. Unlike the first SIM's.

[jlarlee]

Just checked my order it has been updated to show tax being charged but shipping is still TBD. I wonder if they will just take the coupon off when they ship it

[Nirvanaguy777]

bump, just wondering if anyone can state if they got there copy yet, also can anyone confirm if its cd or dvd version

[Owen]

When I was trying to get CompUSA to price match, they called JCPenney to see which version it was and if it was in stock. They were told it was the CD edition and would take 2-4 weeks to recieve it. So they would not price match. I then went to Circuit City and had them price match the web page print out and was able to get the DVD edition for $20 and some change.

[TheGreat2nd]

Still not here for me.
Maybe next week?

[shrike4242]

It's back up to $54.99, so it's actually been $33 off the regular price on the JCPenny website.

[TheGreat2nd]

Wow, $55?!
Isn't the MSRP supposed to be $50?

In other news, it was supposed to come for me today, but the UPS dude came and I was in school >.<

[shrike4242]

Shows $54.99, and the PC shows the CD version.

They sent me an email this morning, and told me mine supposedly shipped out UPS on the 11th (yesterday). I should get it by the end of the week, if it shipped yesterday.

[jshawnd]

I placed two seperate orders on the morning that the sale was posted, and I received them today (they're the CD version). The odd thing is that they're not showing up on my credit card yet (there's usually about a 3 day lag, so I'll probably see something tomorrow).

[ZForce]

I just got mine today as well. Huzzah!

They probably didn't charge until it shipped and it'll show up any day now.

[strebor]

I bought a copy that day too, I'm looking at my order and it still says "Factory Ship 2 weeks", and at the bottom. I think it means it will ship in 2 weeks, I guess. Just says my order was processed and that's it..

[hrsh]

:) Got mine with the free shipping!

I wish it was the DVD version though. Oh well, a great price for a great game.

[starman9000]

Mine came today with free shipping via UPS, but I missed it.

[TheGreat2nd]

Picked mine up today.
They came later :P
Well, enjoying my free shipped Sims 2 CD copy, not bad.
Just takes about around 10 minutes to install due to 4 CDs and more than 2 gigabytes of info.
X.x

[Nirvanaguy777]

mine came like 2 days ago, im enjoying it highly

[cruzfactor]

oh man! i ordered my copy two weeks ago and i still haven't received it yet.
