[Wario64]

thanks wario

I thought I heard that all games and movies were double reward zone points at BB, is this not the case?

Actually you are right, it says get double points on all home theater and entertainment. Didn't see that

[jmon22]

Any of these target games have any good raincheck possibilities??

[Benaorn]

you could get GTA for 39.99 if you preorder?

[ElwoodCuse]

Is Syphon Filter worth $15 after coupon? It looked neat but the reviews I saw of it were all pretty so-so.

[bignick]

Whats included with the xbox starter kit from CC? 3rd party controller?

[Kaijufan]

you could get GTA for 39.99 if you preorder?
It looks like you can from Target.

[ace25one]

nothing for GC from BestBuy?

[help1]

Anyway to get SC:PT for XBOX for 19.99? if so I would use my XBL code and then get it for 15... please some body tell me if this is possible!!

[Wario64]

My bad, I completely skipped the GC stuff for Best Buy. It's nothing great though.

Nothing of interest this week, though I might jump on that Bowling for Columbine + Menace 2 Society for 15 bucks.

Thanks Wario.

[Wario64]

Whats included with the xbox starter kit from CC? 3rd party controller?

$19.99 value, includes 2nd controller, game storage wallet, extension cables, s video cable. It's hard to tell if it's 3rd party, the pic is small. It looks like 3rd party though

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Thank you wario, I was planning on going to BB/CC later, so I may pick up a few things there now :)

[help1]

Anyway to get SC:PT for XBOX for 19.99? if so I would use my XBL code and then get it for 15... please some body tell me if this is possible!!

[Murcielago77]

[Murcielago77]

Thank you wario, I was planning on going to BB/CC later, so I may pick up a few things there now :)

[Vtdgnca]

10 off GTA:SA isn't bad at Target

[coolsteel]

So preorder Halo 2 and GTA SA from Target and get them for 39.99? I think i'll take advantage of those, thanks for typing it all out.

[raykim777]

GameCube (-$10 giftcard) + Metroid (bundled)+ Zelda WW = $106.87 at Target

Hm....must resist.....

[JEKKI]

Mega Man Zero? Mario Paper? SHIN MEGATEN NOCTURNE?!?! all this week??

A few decent deals... Thanks!!

[shrike4242]

There were some DVD deals at TRU, but I seem to have forgotten them. Only one of note was $4 off of The Day After Tomorrow (no price listed).

[oNeWiNgEdAnGeL]

It looks like a busy week as far as these weekyl deals are concerned. I might be picking up some DVDs and some games from various stores.

[shrike4242]

Yes, I know it's a repost of the stuff that Wario posted as well, though I didn't see it until he was done with his, and then I was done with mine.

The TRU, CompUSA and KMart stuff was so-so, but worth tossing up there for some PM opportunities at TRU.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I'm suprised that BB got the Blue GBA SP's so early.

Anyone know when CC willl get the white versions? I want to pick that up. Looks sweet.

[ratedpeej]

That must have been a pain in the ASS to type up

Thank you SO much!

[EndlessChris]

It's Megaman Zero 3 you fool.

Tell me about it. :shock:

Actually, this ended up being a double post, since Wario 64 was doing the same as me. Double the pleasure, double the fun.

Anyone notice CC's GBA system price?


GBA:
Free carrying case with purchase of Game Boy Advance SP

Game Boy Advance SP: $99.99

[dracula]

thanks wario

I thought I heard that all games and movies were double reward zone points at BB, is this not the case?

Actually you are right, it says get double points on all home theater and entertainment. Didn't see that

wtf are rewards zone pts? i think they used to try shilling some rewards zone card on me but it just ssounded like a trick to get me to buy everything from their store.

[sj41]

[wubb]

Nice job, Shrike.

Yeah i noticed that $100 price for the GBA SP, is that your typo or CCs, shrike?

I thought this was odd too (under TRU):

XBox:
XBox Mini Controller for $5 when picking up reserved copy of Halo 2

Game isn't out for another month.

[shrike4242]

I'm betting there's a sign in-store that says they made a mistake and it should be $79.99

Or just PM it there from any of the other ads down to $77.99.

[Trakan]

Anybody got a pic of the Surf Blue GBA?

A PM could work to get that GBA SP for 80 instead of 100. They're making you pay for the case. :roll:

Trust me, this isn't a typo on the GBA SP price in the add, I checked more than once to make sure I wasn't losing my mind on it. It is $99.99. Check it tomorrow in the paper. :D

I think the TRU thing is that they get pre-orders for Halo 2, since I'm sure they don't have enough.

Damn! No deals on MAT 2. Nothing real great either, but that's probably a good thing, since if the TRU sales do start next week, I'll need to save some money.

[greyzieoriental]

in the TRU ad is the action replay for gba or gcn?

[talez]

Cool post. Just one question, why do people think $49.99 as a deal or sale when the regular price is $49.99?

[Larsin]

Are the buy 2 get 1 free deals listed for best buy just good on the games listed under the best buy part, or is that the EA deal, or is it good on other games?

[Tromack]

Cool post. Just one question, why do people think $49.99 as a deal or sale when the regular price is $49.99?

It isn't a deal. But we are grateful that the OP took the time to write up the ads for us, so we don't bitch about stupid things like how the ad listed a game for 49.99.

If your raincheck is half off get a $50 game that's worth $20+ trade in at Gamestop or EBgames. Then use that trade in value for Mario.

okay i been up 22 hours so im lost. I dont get what your saying
I would still spend the 50. If i buy a game at 50% off 50 bucks its 25 bucks. Trade vaule would be 25 so i dont gain nothing then i got to spend another 25 so im still spending 50

[hiccupleftovers]

I would like to thank all those that posted the ads this week.

[help1]

can someone tell me if best buy will honor 19.99 on SC:PT for XBOX?

[Wario64]

Probably not since the ad clearly shows the PS2 version.

Ah I get you... I've never been able to get a rain check before so I wasn't thinking. In effect you'd still be spending $50. Because you're only getting the value back before rain check... You'd still end up spoending $50 bucks.

So I guess I'll say it myself...

It's a trap!

But here's an alternative.... I don't know if this will work...

Can you buy a $50 game with the raincheck, don't open it, and exchange it the next day for Paper Mario? That might work. I don't know Targets Exchange policy.

[shrike4242]

All you'd be able to do is get the purchase price of the game, discounted by the raincheck, towards Paper Mario 2. The raincheck is used up at time of purchase and the discount doesn't transfer to another game, just the credit, like a normal return.

[slidecage]

thers a few ways people om me with but all sounds like ripping off a comapny.

A: Get a game dont open it toss the recept away exchange it at target (the game will ring up at 50 so just exchange it for mario)

B: Trade in 2 games for THUG2 get 30 credit take THUG2 Back weds Get the 30 back and buy Mario for 50 (you can get games for 5 bucks at CC) so final vaule is 30

[shrike4242]

Try going here for a pic of the SurfBlue GBA (dial-up beware):
http://www.freepichosting.com/Albums/421551458/9.html

[Admiral Ackbar]

An Exchange is not ripping off the company.

A) They gave you the raincheck. That is valid and legal.
B) They have a 90 day exchange policy, that is legal.

It would be ripping off the company if you could only use that raincheck on the specific item you requested the raincheck for.

But I've never gotten a raincheck or dealt with the mess of that so I don't know from personal experience.

[slidecage]

i just thought it sound like it cause your asking for a 50 buck return on a game you knew you gave 25 for

[epobirs]

If your raincheck is half off get a $50 game that's worth $20+ trade in at Gamestop or EBgames. Then use that trade in value for Mario.

Why not just get any game of the appropriate price and exchange it a couple days later when the desired title is in stock? No great subterfuge needed. So long as the receipt makes it clear a raincheck was applied it should be possible to get the full value in an exchange situation.

[schultzed]

Any of these target games have any good raincheck possibilities??

Getting SRS or Madden ($50 in the system) for $38 would mean that you could get any $50 game for $38 (if they run out and you get a rc) . . . not the worst deal.

I'd use a rc like that to get $40 games like Jak 3 and Ratchet and Clank 3 for about $29 . . . that's pretty cool!

If any of those $16.88 games are normally $30 . . . (a big if, I bet they are all $20 in the system) then you'd get a 44% off raincheck . . . I had a bunch of these from the FFX-2 discount.

A 44% off rc makes a $50 game $28 . . . I got Pikmin 2 and Donkey Konga this way (extra set of bongos for $17). $40 games are $23 . . . I got Sly 2 for this.

All the receipt says on it is the discount percentage, nothing about a raincheck being used. Such as "47% off of $49.99", though nothing about a raincheck.

[JasonTerminator]

Wow, CC has Myst 4 for $30.

Awesome deal, that's the same price that Uru currently is.

[biggestinuyashafan]

thanks for the ads Wario and Shrike. might pick up a couple things for ps2 though i wish they were xbox ones.

[shrike4242]

Methinks we've had both threads get collapsed into one?

[smartasien]

Just called CC to confirm if Star Ocean 3 was 39.99 and may b get a PM from Bestbuy. But its still 49.99! NOOOO!!! Anyone know when the sale will b in effect?

[el bobo]

What games would be good for getting rainchecks for? I don't have time to scan the topic, since I'm tired and need sleep... Thanks

[road3283]

The Target website has LOTR Return of the king at 29.99, if its the same at B&M that's a pretty decent raincheck.

Since Project Gotham Racing 2 is Live compatible, you can use the $5 off Live software coupon from BB to get it for $11.99 at CC (w/ competitor's coupon).

I picked up my copy from CC earlier in the week, so it's PM down to $15-something. :D

I agree, I think that all of the $16.88 games are going to be $20 in their system. But worth looking into . . .

Last week when they discounted $20 games they sold for $16. When they discounted FFX-2 from $30 it sold for $16.88 . . . coincidence???? Yeah.

[smartasien]

When CC has a better price than BB, I go to CC, take the game to Customer Service, and get them to match the Best Buy coupon (be it GGC, or the Live! coupon). Some people have had trouble getting it to work, but it is generally easier taking advantage of one offer (matching competitor coupon) than two (pricematch + coupon). Either way, good luck.

YMMV. Some will som won't. Probably not though, because they are the lowest advertised price.

Target.com shows Zelda Wind Waker as regularly 49.99, on sale for 16.88. That's a 66% discount. I'll be calling the store on that one today.

If that's the case, then it'll be one nice raincheck to pick up. Unfortunately, I bet they took the intermediate price drop down to $19.99 before they did the price change to $16.88. All depends on what the store tag says for what the raincheck is worth.

Madden ends up being about a 25% raincheck, down to 37.99 from 49.99. Backup raincheck, if nothing else.

Same goes for Everything or Nothing, but both of those titles are now $20 pretty much everywhere else, so chances are low that we'd get a great raincheck out of it.

[Trakan]

I visited a Target today, and the price of Wind Waker used to be $49.99. It's a huge ass rain check if it did turn out to work, but I highly doubt it. They also had about 20 PC copies of the game.

[jmon22]

Just go up to the customer service desk with the sku # and they will print you up a raincheck no questions asked and that will tell you the % off.

[slidecage]

they had 2 copies of it here and i was thinking about buying both of them to get rain checks. Sadly all the games are 19.99 they said it be nationwide by monday or tuesday

Even if it takes until next Saturday, I'd wait to get the 60% off raincheck. Since this is the first time Target dropped the price to that cheap, it should sell rather quickly, I'm hoping, but we'll see.

[jmon22]

Well went to customer service, tried the raincheck, but the number of the game off the website wouldn't work. So no luck yet for me.

[shrike4242]

Red Dead Revolver nets a $25 trade in credit at FYE, so that would be worth $10 extra if you pick up the PS2 version at BB for $15 after GGC.

Yes, I know FYE's prices are ridiculous, but thought someone might be able to benefit out from it.

[damack]

I just picked up a number of rainchecks for Zelda for 67% off. These rainchecks, however, don't show the substitution policy anymore.

[help1]

Can someone explain this to me? is it possible to get a raincheck if the game is in stock? Can I goto Target and look at the games in the ad, see which aren't in stock and ask for a raincheck? how would I know which one is worth most, since I don't want to ask for like 3...

[schultzed]

I just picked up a number of rainchecks for Zelda for 67% off. These rainchecks, however, don't show the substitution policy anymore.

Same thing happened to me . . . thought I hit the jackpot . . . then I noticed that the substitution policy is missing. I picked up one for Full Spectrum Warrior at another Target . . . just to see what it was. It came out 6% discount :lol: but that one had a substitution policy.

I think even I would feel like I was stealing if I used a 67% off raincheck. The 45% ones didn't seem so bad :D

My guess is that the system rejects the substitution policy at some percentage threshold. Too bad!

[damack]

Well, it won't hurt to try. The worst that they can say is no.

[Vampire Hunter D]

Im picking up Midway ARcade Treasures tomorrow. DOnt know what console yet though. Also im picking up George Carlins new book "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?"

[schultzed]

Well, it won't hurt to try. The worst that they can say is no.

I wonder if they are going to change the price of Wind Waker in the system? I wish it were dropping from $29.99 for the sale . . . then a 44% raincheck would spit out . . . I'm happy getting $50 games for $28 :D

If the price stays $50 and my store continues to be out of WW . . . I'm going to try a point-of-sale substitute at 67% off (I've done that in the past (for 44% off), like on FFX2 . . . you don't need a raincheck) tomorrow on Paper Mario . . . I think the guy who is on duty on Wed. afternoon is a cool young guy who might put it through.
