Halo might be a good raincheck

[Kain Vincent]

Some okay deals this week, thanks for the heads up, OP!

[punqsux]

mat 2 and jak 2 for $25 after GCC?

[Admiral Ackbar]

X-men legends for $35 looks good.

[Admiral Ackbar]

mat 2 and jak 2 for $25 after GCC?

Since combined they would be $15 I would assume the cmbos would be ineligable for the GGC. But it's worht a shot!

[el bobo]

Halo, Shrek 2, and Driv3r might all be great rainchecks...

[Benaorn]

Hmmm....Driv3r only 15.88.

[RandyTsai]

Finally a good price for X-Men Legends. Hope this game is worth $35.

[Tromack]

Anyone know how much Driv3r is actually selling for at Target? On their site they list it at 50, which would make it a phenomenal rain check, or it might mean that it is one of the "Check other stores" ones.

[FaintDeftone]

Man I wish I wasn't strapped for cash. I would jump on that Tales of Symphonia deal, but I had to buy Paper Mario. Oh well, Paper Mario rules so it's all good.

[shrike4242]

mat 2 and jak 2 for $25 after GCC?

Since combined they would be $15 I would assume the cmbos would be ineligable for the GGC. But it's worht a shot!

They usually don't allow that, since it tends to fall into the "other offers" exclusion on the GGC.

When they do ring them up, BB has sometimes done it where one game is the normal price and the other one is the difference between the 1st game and the sale price on both. One would be $19.99 and the other would be $10.01. Might pull of a GGC on one of the games.

[RandyTsai]

Paper Mario rules

Agreed. I picked up both ToS and PM2 from my game rush this week with their new promotion. Love both of them. Paper Mario is one of the funniest games i played in a while.

[craven_fiend]

The game is easily worth $35. Also if you're lucky, you can take a Target ad to Best Buy/Circuit City and have it price matched, and get it for about $30 after tax, if they take the 10% difference off and allow you to use the GGC(some CC allow you to use these from what I've heard). I might try to do that with Tales of Symphonia.

Thanks as usual Wario64.

[shrike4242]

Anyone know how much Driv3r is actually selling for at Target? On their site they list it at 50, which would make it a phenomenal rain check, or it might mean that it is one of the "Check other stores" ones.

If it's $50, the raincheck may fall into the same vein as the Wind Waker raincheck, which is 67% off. The WW raincheck doesn't have a substitution clause on it, and all of the rainchecks I've picked up in the last few days have had a "We found this possibly at the following other stores" text at the bottom of the raincheck.

[cognitive77]

This will be a big week for me.

34.88 for X-Men and Tales of Symphonia
2 for 20 with Midway Arcade Treasures 2 and Ratchet and Clank 2

[shrike4242]

This will be a big week for me.

34.88 for X-Men and Tales of Symphonia
2 for 20 with Midway Arcade Treasures 2 and Ratchet and Clank 2

2 for $20? How're you figuing that one?

[craven_fiend]

I may have to try and get some rain checks to help me out through my layoff period. Rainchecks work on everything in the store, right? Or did the fix them and put it to specific departments?

[ransom456]

Damn, no specials on Xbox or GCN version of Midway Arcade 2?

Guess I can just make my own special with the GGC.

[Tromack]

I may have to try and get some rain checks to help me out through my layoff period. Rainchecks work on everything in the store, right? Or did the fix them and put it to specific departments?

It used to say similar items i.e. a shirt for a shirt, a camera for a camera. Although, after this WindWaker deal, I don't know if it still says it. Oh well, I'm going to try.

Since it would be 60% off (assuming a $50 everyday price), it may work for a good raincheck. At the very least it will be interesting to see and get a better idea of what the cutoff is. Also, it will depend on getting enough people to actually buy Driv3r so it is sold out.

[omyard]

X-Men Legends for $34.99 @ Target looks pretty sweet. I may go for that.

[mickeyho13]

:shock: ackk i got Halo for $30 at BB like a few weeks ago!!

anyone know what their policy for returns are?

or their pricematch policies?

[shrike4242]

I picked up two rainchecks, one for SRS and one for WindWaker. The SRS raincheck had the sub text on it, the WW one didn't.

[shrike4242]

:shock: ackk i got Halo for $30 at BB like a few weeks ago!!

BB PM policy is within 30 days of purchase, from a local vendor within a 25 mile distance of the area, who has the item in-stock, with a print copy of the price from that vendor.

If so, then you get difference + 10% if after the fact, PM at time of purchase.

[rebenns]

Nothing really exciting this week. Good. I'll need the money for next week's TRU sale.

[Magician]

The 2 for $30 looks promising at Best Buy, but I'll wait for the Toys'R'Us sale. I stopped by today to check out their selection, and it seems okay. I'm still waiting for them to stock Katamari Damacy, though.

Thanks Wario!

[Tromack]

I'm guessing Driv3r won't be open to rainchecks, but Halo looks like a good candidate.

[mytoy333]

Thanks Wario! Good buys at Target on X-Men Legends and Tak 2!

[Kaijufan]

I might pick up X-Men: Legends.

[SteveMcQ]

For some reason Driv3r looks mighty tempting at that price.

[Trakan]

I hate the fact that CC sells the game for 10 bucks over the MSRP and gives away a 10 dollar gift card.

[reallybigafro]

i traded in my halo about 6 months ago, this looks like a great chance to pick it up again and get another nun through the game before the beauty of halo 2 comes out

[axylfyre]

can you get just 1 of the 2 for 30 deals and still get it at the right price? THUG is lookin real good

[hiccupleftovers]

Thank again Wario.

[paul6]

Ok on this "raincheck" thing...

Basically if they don't have a sale item at Target, you get the same percentage discount on another game? How would you explain this to the clerk? Is this policy written in the ad somewhere?

[sexdrugsandrocknroll]

anyone knows if there are any good DVD deals for cc?

[fireball343]

Halo, Shrek 2, and Driv3r might all be great rainchecks...

yea! also a good deal on Halo for those wanting it cheap, that's as good as it gets, also you can try and PM at Best buy and use a Driv3r 5 bucks off coupon from the madden book a while back, the one with the 5 bucks off XBL, you could use the xbl coupon for that matter.

[evilmojo12542]

I am gonna get outlaw golf2 that should be great

[Scorch]

Driv3r for FIFTEEN at Target!? Holy cow.

[shrike4242]

CC's price on Driv3r is $49.99. BB's price on Driv3r is $49.99.

If Target has it for $15.88, then you can pick it up on PM at $12.47.

Just a thought if you've been holding off on Driv3r.

[wubb]

Nice tip :D

CCs PM policy is much friendlier than BBs. So I would go there if you have one near you. (BB doesn't give you the + 10% unless you buy the game at full price - $50, leave the store, and then come back in with your receipt for the PM at the customer service desk. Pain in the cheap ass.)

That's why I slipped up to CC and picked up Driv3r and Shrek 2, for PM's tomorrow, and return my unopened copy of Driv3r back to Target. No question about it if I buy it today and PM it tomorrow.

CC PM tends to be OK with a copy of the print ad, and they usually don't choose to call. The BB's in my local area only call the nearest physically closest store, so I avoid them like the plague for PM's.

[sying]

Anyone know what Spongebob is featured at Targer?

[rebenns]

can you get just 1 of the 2 for 30 deals and still get it at the right price? THUG is lookin real good

CC and BB usually make you buy both on the same receipt. It will say so in the ad. However, Target will often let you get away with only buying one. I've returned individual items I bought in these "buy 2 for XX$" deals at BB, and they've given me a refund (pro-rated, of course), with no trouble. Not sure about CC. This is always YMMV, but it's worth a shot. You could always just return both if they won't let you return one.

[Dead of Knight]

If you don't buy Shadow Hearts 2 for $40, you are a moran.

[mcwilliams132]

X-men legends for $35 looks good.

Even better if you price match it at CC or BB, should come out to $33.xx or something.

tempting...very tempting.

[xplode427]

is tales at target in store only? cause the website lists it at 49.99

[chickenhawk]

Thanks for posting, but I am waiting for the TRU B2GO. :)

[Santurio]

hmmm, sounds tempting but I think I'll wait!!
I do want X-men Legends though, damnit wallet make money!!!!

[shrike4242]

is tales at target in store only? cause the website lists it at 49.99

Try checking tomorrow.

[wubb]

Bad news. I get my copies of the ads on Saturdays, too and I just took a look at Target's ad.

Halo, Shrek 2, and Driv3r are actually on sale for $24.88, not $15.88 (Check your ad again Wario)

Still might be good if Driv3r or Shrek 2 normally go for $50 (I don't know if they do)

There is a yellow box with $24.88 games to the left of the games section. These three games are in that box. They are in the same row as 4 games that will be on sale for $15.88 so I can see where the confusion came in. I've sent a PM to Wario so he can double check his ad and change the orignal post.

Holy crap, wubb is right! :shock: I see how the confusion came about, and I'll remind Target of that tomorrow. :evil:

Shrek is $29.99 and Driv3r is $49.99. Not so good deal on a PM with either one, certainly not as good as we through they were.

This could be good news. These are all good Raincheck possibilities. Hopefully they'll allow a ~48% raincheck instead of the 67% Wind Waker raincheck.

[shrike4242]

Driv3r might be a good raincheck percentage, but Shrek isn't as much, as the base price is $29.99.

[wubb]

[quote="shrike4242"]
Holy crap, wubb is right! :shock:

Hey don't be so :shock: , I've been right once or twice before in my life, too! :wink:

Driv3r still sounds like a good rain check - over 50% off Tiger Woods 2005 would be sweet.

[am000777]

Today's Fry's Ad (Socal) has Driv3r for $19.99.

[shrike4242]

is Driv3r for xbox a good deal for $16?

Yeah 50% off sounds really good, but with this Wind Waker thing, I want to know what the cut off point is.

[Wario64]

Oops, sorry about the mistake on Driv3r, Shrek 2 and Halo. Wubb is right, it's $24. I hope you guys don't go to Target thinking it's $16, heh. Gonna correct it. Thanks WUbb

It's very easy to make mistakes when typign these out. Maybe next time I'll just scan the damn ads :P

[shrike4242]

Might be more accurate, Wario, but the dial-up users will hate you for doing it.

Us broadband users won't mind one but. :D

[wubb]

I definitely can see how easy it would be to make a mistake when trying to get through all of the ads. Personally, I really appreciate you taking the time to type them out. Even when I have the real print ads in hand, it's a lot faster to just read the typed out highlights here. I was just looking at my Target ad tonight to get it ready for a possible PM tomorrow morning :)

Oh and you totally forgot the K-Mart ad man! You can go there and pick up a few GBA games for $2 off or pay full MSRP for several other titles. Awesome!

[shrike4242]

I started to type the ads out myself, though as I saw Wario had beat me to the punched, I deferred to his faster typing skills.

The copy of Driv3r I picked up at CC goes back tomorrow, as I already had it for $21.99 from Target. I had visions of $12.47 dancing in my head. :lol:

[damack]

I would definitely like to hear what happens with the Driv3r raincheck. If the cutoff point is 50% (which hopefully it isn't), this will be another Wind Waker, since the discount is like 50.3%.

[slidecage]

my target has 19 copies of driver 3 so i will probally never know

[Nirvanaguy777]

here comes the pain for 15, thats mine

[slidecage]

I got a Question BB and CC beat each other by 10% right... Wwll you would probally waste more gas money but What keeps you from doing this .

Go to CC get the game for 15.00
Take to BB get 10% off 13.50
Take back to CC get 10% off 12.15
Take back to BB get 10% off 10.93

Repeat


I know they used to do this like 10 years back it was BB and another copmany right next door and they would only let me do it twice

[wubb]

My take on the mythical cut-off point for Target rain checks is that it's not an automated threshold. Somebody at corporate put in the system that the Zelda game last week would not allow substitutes and it just depends on if they stay on the ball and put that in for other big % sales in the future or not. Just my gut feeling on this.

I hit my Target early this morning but they had several copies of Driv3r, so I can't confirm if that will give a good rain check or not. Bummer. Somebody get out to Fair Lakes VA and buy Driv3r!

[wubb]

As I understand it, the 10% thing is 10% of the price difference, NOT 10% of the total price.

[slidecage]

does BB do the 10% off plus before or after you buy. Meaning do i have to go to BB first BUy the WWE game for 20 then wait and take the CC add back to get the 10% bouns or will BB sell the game for 13.50

[axylfyre]

i didnt realize it was acc and games for xbox at bb..thug and the xbox controller are mine today!

[Nintenden]

anyone check out X-Men Legends for GC at Target yet? Online it's still at $50 for GC, but down to $35 for ps2 and Xbox. I'll be going there later, but I'd rather know I'll be getting it for GC than Xbox.

And if no one knows, I'll let everyone else know tonight (after the football game :twisted: )

[wubb]

Xmen Legends for GC was on sale at my Target this morning. (It was also OOS.)

[NeueZiel]

There are only 2 copies left of Driver 3 at my target hopefully the rainchecks will print with sub on them if and when they sell out 8) .

[Trakan]

I hope to get at least one raincheck with this to get PM 2.

[slidecage]

i hope to get 1 to get RAW VS smackdown

[Nintenden]

ok, X-Men Legends was onsale for Gamecube as well today. I got myself a copy, and there were a few left.

In a related note, I got the last copy of Tales of Symphonia, and there were at least 5, probably more last night when I picked up Madden.

[Azul_KoolAid]

hmm. I've been waiting for X men to go down in price I might pick it up. Hmm I wounder if I can get by using an expired raincheck.

[Tromack]

I bought Xmen Legends for GC today. It was 35.

[Tromack]

hmm. I've been waiting for X men to go down in price I might pick it up. Hmm I wounder if I can get by using an expired raincheck.

You can't use a raincheck on an already on sale item.

[schultzed]

I hope to get at least one raincheck with this to get PM 2.

Tales of Symp, Spiderman 2, X-Men . . . these might produce 30% off rainchecks . . . making Papermario $35 . . . not bad!

Any word on Driv3r rainchecks???????? Suggestion that they will be 50% off . . . I'll try tomorrow.

[TigerD]

Does GR pricematch? I've got a lot of credit there and would rather use that to pick up X-Men than use hard currency.

I got the Spiderman 2 raincheck and I'm holding off to see if I can get a Driv3r one. If not, I'll pick up PM 2 for 35.

[DesertEagleXIX]

What percentage off was Spiderman 2? If people can post percentages, they'd be buying tickets to CAG Heaven....

[schultzed]

What percentage off was Spiderman 2? If people can post percentages, they'd be buying tickets to CAG Heaven....

He's saying it was 30% off . . . Spider is normally $50 with $15 off . . . so he can get PaperMario 2 for $35 (from$50).

[snakeneck]

I got the X-men Legends raincheck and its 31% off. The "choose a substitute" is allowed on this one!. Plenty of copies of Driv3r left so no dice on that one.

[davidmt]

I tried using the GGC at Best Buy today for the 2 for $30 deal.
The cashier tried to scan the coupon but it gave her an error.
So I could either get both games for $30 under the sale, or pay $20 each and get the $5 off using the coupon.
I was pretty sure it wouldn't work but I gave it a shot anyway.

Got MAT 2 and Jak 2 - and Jak 2. Jak 2 had only the "Greatest Hits" sticker on it, so I got an original non-red border copy. Yay.

[schultzed]

Driv3r rainchecks come out at 51% off but have no substitution clause on them . . . this is quite a disappointment. :cry: :!: :cry:

The other games (the ones for $34.88 down from $50) give 31% off and have the substitute clause. So, GTASA, Halo, Metoid would be about $35 . . . not too bad. Jak3 and Ratchet3 would be $28 which is nice.

[damack]

Driv3r rainchecks come out at 51% off but have no substitution clause on them . . . this is quite a disappointment. :cry: :!: :cry:

yeap o well We have tons of games in the fort wayne targets so no rainchecks here till weds or later. they was out of HALO but 30 bucks down to 24.88 wasnt a big enough rain check for me to mess with

[Azul_KoolAid]

well Do people in the video game department check the date on the rainchecks? I got one from FFX2 and two from Red Dead Revolver.

Driv3r rainchecks come out at 51% off but have no substitution clause on them . . . this is quite a disappointment. :cry: :!: :cry:

The other games (the ones for $34.88 down from $50) give 31% off and have the substitute clause. So, GTASA, Halo, Metoid would be about $35 . . . not too bad. Jak3 and Ratchet3 would be $28 which is nice.

So, if the WW raincheck at 67% doesn't have the sub clause on it, and the Driv3r one at 51% doesn't have the sub clause on it, we'd assume that 51% or more is now usless for a sub.

If 31% and lower do have the sub clause, that leaves us from 32% to 50% to figure out if there's a sub clause on it.

Can you use Xbox rain checks for Gba games??? Meaning could i load up on a ton of 31% off rain checks Saved them and get DS games at 31% off ...

I've had them at 47%. My guess is the cutoff is 50%.

I bet it would work . . . usually, you can do videogame for videogame substitution.

If someone already posted this then just ignore it.

It seems that you can tell if a game will have the substituion policy on a raincheck by looking at the little white flyer that advertises the game's sale price.

I noticed Zelda:WW said on sale for $16.88 & Driv3r had $24.88 (or whatever) but had it didn't show the original price on the right hand side. No substitions for these.

X-men Legends & ToS said on sale for $34.88 and has the original price listed on the right hand corner. Both of these still have the substition policy in effect.

My Target doesn't have the original prices listed for Xmen or much of anything that is on sale in the games department so that system is probably YMMV.

Well that sucks. I'm probably going to a Target today and I'll probably try just asking whoever is working in the video game department if I can substitute Tiger Woods '05 for Driv3r (if it is out of stock) and see what happens.

I think it might work best the week of the sale and while the game is out-of-stock. I got Papermario for $16.50 last week on sub for Windwaker . . . but I don't know if the 67% off raincheck will fly now . . .

Mine never really "check the date" but none of the rainchecks were ever expired either. It won't hurt to try it, but the system might recognize that the raincheck has expired. Good Luck.
