[eskimo083]

perfect timing. i was JUST looking for this. thanks!

[Nirvanaguy777]

and i just got a 75 dollar best buy gift card haha

[Tromack]

perfect timing. i was JUST looking for this. thanks!
Me too. I was thinking, "Hmm....why hasn't it been posted yet? Maybe I missed it?", so I went into post your own cheap ass deal and saw it. And then I noticed it had been created all of 1 minute before I went in.

[biggestinuyashafan]

that remindes me. i am guessing most stores have the Mario Kart: Double Dash/GC bundle in by now for people looking for that. i know the GS i work at had like 3 or 4 of them, so you might be able to find them at one of these stores as well. thanks for the ads OP.

[DisturbedZen]

Damn, too bad nothing good at BB to take advantage of the 100$ and get 20$ giftcard.

[6669]

Thanx, Wario!

[guessed]

Yes, excellent job, excellent timing. I wasn't sure if I would get X-men Legends, but that $20 giftcard is calling me. I need to figure out what else is worth getting that I don't already have, to bump it up over $100.

[Admiral Ackbar]

Thanks!

[help1]

Target


$54.99
Halo 2 Collectros' Edition (Free strategy guide with purchase)

Halo 2 (Free strategy guide with purchase)


THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR TYPING THIS!!!!

(I preordered at Target and was thinking that if I could get it like a day or two early im just gonna cancel but now im not...)

[radjago]

So does this mean that Halo: CE is going to be available on Nov. 9th with the regular edition. I've always been lead to believe that it was pre-order only.

[mick16]

Do you think you can use the GGC at Best Buy for each of your individual purchases and they'll still give you the $20 card if you spend more than $100?

[muncle]

you know those best buy reward zone dollars? i have 10 dollars worth of those, that i can ue against halo 2 at best buy...should i use those or go to circuit city to get the watch?

[The_Way_of _Peace]

since when did crimson skies go platinum? also is that 16.49 ESPN NFL 2k5 just for ps2 or do you think they would do it for the Xbox version to

[guardian_owl]

Circuit City

PS2

$7.99
DVD remote


Is that the official sony dvd remote or a 3rd party brand?

[Santurio]

damn now I can get Xmen on the cheap!!
I have some Reward zone dollars too!

What does that watch look like??

[No!]

Thanks for the fucking DVDeals, butt-plug.

[help1]

yeah whats it look like... it prob looks like crap, but it might look good next to my collectors edition box....

[help1]

double post

[help1]

Thanks for the shaq-fuing DVDeals, butt-plug.

Where are all these rude people coming from? it takes this guy liek 2 hours to type this all up adn thats the respect he gets?

Ladies and Gentlement, Here I welcome a $$$....

My God....

[muncle]

BTW, can you price check the target deal for halo2 at best buy? get a free strategy guide, and use reward zone certificates? if so, best buy here i come!

[FaintDeftone]

Xmen Legends for Xbox at BB sounds pretty good to me.

I got a 5 dollar off coupon in the mail today for Target on any PS2 game, so I was hoping something good was on sale. Looks like thats a no :(

Thanks Wario.

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks Wario.

[ryosnk]

Sweet a halo 2 watch. :) Would any one have a pic of the the halo 2 watch? Thanks for the post.

[reallybigafro]

great post, but what do i do now??? i have halo 2 pre-ordered at EB games, but targets free strategy guide sounds for then tempting. I know EB doesn't usually match other major retail stores but does any buddy have any creative ideas around this???

[Josef]

Thanks for the post Wario.

People, this is a games site first and foremost. I consider any postings of the DVD/CD prices a bonus.

[sasukekun]

Does that mean BestBuy will have Halo2 CE on Nov 9th when they open?

[KingDox]

damn I wish BB would put a deal on the MK:DD Cube. It looks like I'm going to have to wait another week.

[Trakan]

BTW, can you price check the target deal for halo2 at best buy? get a free strategy guide, and use reward zone certificates? if so, best buy here i come!

YMMV. Some BB's will probably PM this, alot won't. Good luck.

You could always cancel your pre-orders and get your money back, but it's not worth it to me.

Thanks for the shaq-fuing DVDeals, butt-plug.

Hey asshole, he posts the Video game deals every week, give him a break. Somebody else usually posts the DVD deals.

So does this mean that Halo: CE is going to be available on Nov. 9th with the regular edition. I've always been lead to believe that it was pre-order only.

It's supposed to be pre-order only, but I'm sure stores like Wal--Mart and K-Mart will be selling the LE.

[aphasias]

i wouldnt imagine i could get the best buy gift card that you get for spending $75 or $100 by purchasing video game hardware (an xbox, specifically) would i?

[Mishimaryu]

NFL street is now a PH, GH, and PC? awsome

[help1]

NFL street is now a PH, GH, and PC? awsome

The game isnt good IMO casue the person who gets the ball first wins.... (no quarters in the game)

[Ugamer_X]

Well, I was already planning on picking up Halo 2 at Target, but the free strategy guide is a nice extra (dunno if I'll ever use it).

Thanks for the shaq-fuing DVDeals, butt-plug.

Fuck off.

[SteveMcQ]

Thanks for the shaq-fuing DVDeals, butt-plug.
You're an ass.

Thanks for the post Wario.

[help1]

man, I need a pic of that watch!!

[Trakan]

i wouldnt imagine i could get the best buy gift card that you get for spending $75 or $100 by purchasing video game hardware (an xbox, specifically) would i?

Yep, that'll work.

[dinovelvet]

Thanks for the shaq-fuing DVDeals, butt-plug.

Thanks for your insightful and valuable contribution to the community. That guy took the time out to type the list of game deals just for us, and this is the thanks he gets? Go hate yourself somewhere else, please.

[Larsin]

awsome, thanks for the heads up

[aphasias]

thanks Trakan, and Wario64. looks like ill be heading to best buy in the next couple days...

[beerguy961]

Apparently stuff for Halo fans. Not to excited, but I really appreciate the work. Thanks...

[daria19]

Thanks for the post. So, does anyone know when BB and CC will have halo 2 on their shelves? I didn't preorder, but it sounds as if I might luck into getting a watch for procrastinating...

[robbart914]

I believe most stores have Halo 2 in stock and are just not breaking street, so they should have it out upon opening on Tuesday. YMMV, but I'd bet the odds are good.

[Murcielago77]

Thx Wario too bad im picking up Halo at EB in 55 hours, 36 minutes or else i would have jumped on that halo deal

[pimp tyranny]

nothing of interest though

[smalien1]

I have an idea, from now on whoever posts the Target CC BB sales is at fault when there is nothing good!

Damn you wario!! I need a f ucking target raincheck, stupid SOB

[Kaijufan]

$30 for Godzilla: Save the Earth is a great price, but Im pretty sure that the Xbox version got pushed back. :cry:
Now that CS is a PH Im going to have to buy it, along with Simpsons Hit and Run.

[Murcielago77]

ill assume you are a godzilla fan of some sort Kaijufan.

[Megalith]

So if I get a PSTwo from Best Buy, will I be able to use that $20 Gift Card to knock off twenty bucks from its $149.99 price tag?

[Trakan]

So if I get a PSTwo from Best Buy, will I be able to use that $20 Gift Card to knock off twenty bucks from its $149.99 price tag?

No. You can't use it on the purchase that gets you the gift card. $20 off of next purchase, or $20 game for free, something like that.

[Kaijufan]

ill assume you are a godzilla fan of some sort Kaijufan.
Where ever did you get that idea? :)
Anyway, it is confirmed that the Xbox version of Save the Earth has been delayed. (http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?s=330efd47e4195235557536ee16e83daf& threadid=423627)

[smalien1]

no one likes my idea?

[Trakan]

no one likes my idea?

Nope, nobody does. Why do you post that shit in here?

[dracula]

can i use a GGC on a game system(like a PSTwo)? or is it for games only, or is it YMMV?

[Kaijufan]

Its a pretty bad idea.

[Trakan]

I'm guessing you can. $5 off any video game software or accessory $19.99 and up.

[help1]

guess no pic of the watch

They aren't supposed to let you do that, as a system is neither software, nor an accessory, but they might let it slip through if they are being particularly nice or unobservant.

[Santurio]

If it's in the ad I guess I'll see it tommorrow!!

[Wario64]

Funny enough, I just scanned the ad with the watch. Sorry for the crappy scan, the pic of the watch is small as it is in the ad.

[PuNkNeB]

If someone bought a PS2 last week, could they bring in the receipt to best buy and receive a $20 gift card, or would they have to actually return it and buy it again to take advantage of the deal? Any help appreciated.

[sj41]

I might end up buying Halo 2 at Target since it's on the way home after school. I have it preordered at GameRush, but I'll hopefully just be able to cancel since I doubt I'll be able to go to that midnight thing, anyways. Free strategy guide is better than nothing, so if Target has the LE Halo 2 on Tuesday, I'll get it there.

[Josef]

I don't think the free gift card promotion includes the purchase of hardware. The OP wrote the gift card is free with purchase of video games or accessories.

Thanks, but no thanks... I just take the guide.

Thing looks like those watches Burger King and McDonalds used to put in happy meals or kids meals

[spideymike]

Too bad Godzilla: Save the Earth for Xbox has been delayed. I have about $30 in BB gift card money I was hoping to spend on Godzilla today. Oh well.

Yeah, but for people who can't get/don't want the guide, the watch is better than nothing.

[Kaijufan]

Godzilla is on sale for $30 on the BB website. (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1095432642576&skuId=6882046&type=pr oduct)

Chances are, they'd probably give it to you. It's at least worth a shot. You can't return the new PSTwo on the old receipt though, because each system is scanned for the serial number, which is different for every one.

[akilshohen]

BTW, can you price check the target deal for halo2 at best buy? get a free strategy guide, and use reward zone certificates? if so, best buy here i come!
Yes it'll work. It's like this:
The price Match with Target is a price match put in manually by the clerk. The 100,000 reward points is in the system already. Finally, Reward citerifcates are just like gift cards. Don't try to use a GGC with it though.

[muncle]

Cool! thanks, I'm going to best buy after school!

[JEKKI]

aw hell yeah!!!

who else is going to get the Only The Strong DVD at CC for $6.99?!?!

deal of the century!

[wubb]

Thanks for the post Wario!

Might have to see if I can get Halo 2 w/ the strategy guide using a rain check at Target.

[help1]

Now thats CAG^^

[MrBlud]

Wow, you can get a Gamecube for like $80

Not bad.

[nikkai]

Wow, you can get a Gamecube for like $80

Not bad.

Nope - just tried at my bestbuy. the 20 gc for 100 spent only applies to games and accessories. not systems. *sigh*

[regisphilbi0]

I think I might get Halo 2 and Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door at BB and get the free $20 Gift Card. So basically, its like $30 for Paper Mario. Not too bad, been waiting to play Paper Mario for a while. I just wish they had Mario Tennis in on Tuesday...

[Jaxcomet]

No need to pre-order for an item as big as Halo 2. You'll usually get better deals on release day. It's not like they'll be a shortage of copies. They'll be plenty regular and special "limited to a zillion copies" edition.

The LE copies are supposed to be limited to just pre-orders, but since stores like Wal-Mart and K-Mart don't get many pre-orders, they'll still get the LE's in and end up selling them. Otherwise, there would be a reason to pre-order.

[vinsanity_2_k]

Could someone please scan the target ad which shows the free strategy guide. I went to the target site, but it only shows the normal Halo w/ the free Strategy Guide. So if someone can please scan the target ad showing the free strategy guide that would be awesome, becasue I lost the ad.

[PS2 the max]

I noticed the original Halo is still $24.99. The sequel's out and the first STILL hasn't dropped to $20. That's something you don't see everyday. :lol:

[The Successful Dropout]

aw hell yeah!!!

who else is going to get the Only The Strong DVD at CC for $6.99?!?!

deal of the century!

picked it up months back at ddd for 5 something

[Wario64]

Just picked up my Halo 2 LE this morning at Target, with free strategy guide. The strategy guide is thick! Definitey get it at Target if you have the option, probably the best offer for Halo 2 right now

[Haruko821]

Does anyone know if you can pre-order a DS at Best Buy this week and get a 20 dollars gift card? I also have another coupon that says that. Hopin I can put 110 down on the Ds, get my 40 bucks in Gift Card, and put those to the DS. Total Cheap Ass!

[LinkinPrime]

Too bad Godzilla: Save the Earth for Xbox has been delayed. I have about $30 in BB gift card money I was hoping to spend on Godzilla today. Oh well.

Delayed!? I checked the nearby BB and they had them in stock but the idiots there said that they cant sell it till Tuesday. There is no release date on the AD.

[WKT]

Re: Best Buy $20 gift card with $100 purchase
I was wondering if it had to be $100 or would you still get the $20 card if you purchased 2 games totalling $99.98? If not, are there any really cheap items to pad the sale to get above $100?
Thanks for the info.

I'm pretty sure it would have to be at least $100. For cheap filler, you might find GBA link cables (3rd party) or game cases. I haven't really looked for the lowest cost accessory, but there is a good chance it'd be for gameboy.

[mick16]

I can confirm it has to be over $100 total. I bought the Halo LE and Headset (old one was broken so I splurged) to get over the $100 level. Also the manager at BB wouldn't let me use my GGC and get the gift card as she said the GGC couldn't be combined with any other offer.

[FaintDeftone]

Xmen Legends for me. Thanks Wario.

[miriamleo]

All the Target I went to sold out of the strategy guide.... any idea on how to get it?

[Trakan]

Call every Target near you, if they don't have it, try to get a raincheck. New sale starts tomorrow, so you don't have much time.

Is Syphon Filter any good?
