[Scorch]

Bad Boys is worth it for 5, I think.. even though the voice acting sucks (I think white guys did the voice acting), it's an okay game.

[biggestinuyashafan]

cool deal, i am picking up gta double pack now.

EDIT: just ordered the double pack (used my 3 bb bucks too). thanks for the post.

[craven_fiend]

the double pack will be on sale in store too, right? if it is, then I may just hold off and try my luck tomorrow, if not then I'm all over it for that price.

[jrutz]

Looks like all the games in the ad are on sale. I just picked up:

Crash Nitro Kart XB
Star Wars Starfighter XB
NBA Ballers ($19.99)
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 ($19.99)

EDIT: Radeon 9600XT up for $100 AR!!!

Jeremy

[The Successful Dropout]

to get nba ballers, full spectrum warrior, & spiderman 2 now....or wait til they're all officially marked down and grab it with a ggc and no shipping?

theirs gotta be a free shipping code or offer somewhere for bestbuy.com

[jrutz]

Some titles have free shipping. I bit the bullet and just ordered online so I won't have to worry about it tomorrow.

For instance, Far Cry and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 have free shipping. So I paid about $5 more in shipping. No biggie.

Jeremy

[The Successful Dropout]

because im a cheapass...i picked up bad boys, strike force :shock: and crash...im gonna wait til later on ballers, spiderman 2 and fsw....in hopes that they'll drop in price soon, they all seem to be heading that way

[craven_fiend]

isn't Spiderman also on sale at EB for the same price?

[Demontooth]

i can't get on bestbuy.com!!

[CouRageouS]

Thanks wlau! Always with the deals..

I got Strikeforce Bowling (Go team Strikeforce!) for me and Bad Boys for buddy for Christmas. I might get more later, I got some BB bucks in the car but I'm too lazy to go out and look at 4AM.

[Demontooth]

nevermind, picked up GTA DP

[maccabee72]

cool deal, i am picking up gta double pack now.

EDIT: just ordered the double pack (used my 3 bb bucks too). thanks for the post.

Jeez, that's exactly what I did! $20.17 shipped after the 3 best buy bucks....not bad for two great games.

They also had MVP 2004 for $19.99. I'm not sure if this is a universal price drop, but definitely a great price for this gem.

[mmn]

Picked up Crash Nitro Kart and Full Spectrum Warrior.

Thanks OP.

[Querjek]

I, too, ordered the double pack for Xbox, but I only had 2 BB bucks to use with it. Good deal, nonetheless!

[Ravaged]

Damn... I really bit the bullet. Just ordered FM4 and PoP for 31 plus change. Anyone think I should cancel that and just order FM4? 15.50 for each of those games seems kinda like a rip, although I heard they're both awesome.

Did they raise the price on RCT 3? It's showing $24.99 for me

[jputahraptor]

To bad shipping is 2 bucks per game, I was going to just order them online but I guess i've been spoilded by EB games $2 shipping on your whole order. Guess I'll be braving the stores tomorrow.

[palwk]

Did they raise the price on RCT 3? It's showing $24.99 for me
I was only able to get it for $24.99

[jovherye]

Thanks for the links! I'm in the mood for gift giving and so I bought a couple of the $9.99 games!

[yellowaznboy]

I've heard only good things about Prince of Persia, so I went ahead and bought that for myself. Since I had 10 Best Buy bucks, I only paid shipping and tax. :)

I already posted these PS2 deals about 4 hours before you did. Please check the topics before adding a new topic next time. Better yet, just add stuff I missed into it to make it easier, like the FM4 deal, which, yes is totally worth the 14.99. It's even worth 30 like I bought it for originally, if youre into strategy games and mechs.

Where is this thread? You can't be speaking of the thread you posted at 11:30, since the OP of this thread posted 7 hours before you at 4:30.

He has also provided links... so where's your thread?

Um, I do, for one. Sorry, but I did my homework early and found the deals for everyone first. He did a good job listing the links (which don't all seem to work), but again, if you're going to topic it, check first, then just add it in to someones EXISTING topic rather than jamming the board with repetitive topics. :wink:

[QuiteBitterBeing]

Thanks man, picked up the double pack for $18 shipping included. (used 5 BB bucks)

Oh, I'm sorry, you mean THIS ONE? http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37700&postdays=0&postorder=asc&sta rt=280

The one that actually said in the post that AS OF 2:15 AM, the deals were ON? It took a bit to finish the post, but there was a link to BB as well for anyone to search. As to my thread, after I posted THIS ORIGINAL DEAL, I re-posted the thread as a new one. CAG was not responding (and don't say it was my connection, I tried numerous other sites and they all came up just fine). So, though TECHNICALLY the NEW thread didn't register til Noon today, THE ORIGINAL DEAL was in fact, started at 2:15 am. Now enough of this.

Post subject: Best Buy BF DEALS ARE ON THE SITE! THURSDAY, NO LESS! Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post

Okay, buckaroos, IT'S ON. As of Thursday, 2:15 am, EST, Thanksgiving,
www.bestbuy.com has MOST of the deals listed on the BF list at the same prices.

I say most because I could not find PS2 Stuntman (supposedly 9.99) under Stuntman or Stunt Man anywhere on the site. '

Neither is PS2 Metal Arms. Only the GC edition is listed.

Also, PS2 Tony Hawk 4, which as I recall was actually THUG 1, IS NOT, repeat NOT on sale for 9.99 as listed- still holding at 19.99 on the site.

Neither is PS2 Terminator 3- still listed as 39.99 on site.

GBA Disney's Skate Adventure, listed on the forum as 9.99, is actually 4.99 on the site.

I checked in total all of the PS2 GAMES listed, and all the discrepancies are listed above contrary to in-store deals. Game HARDWARE searches prove to be taxing, as in the case of the Datel Multiplayer Adapter- searching for Datel reseults in nothing. Searching under "Multiplayer" however turns up in the first result, yep, the DMA, also btw matching in-store deal.

Check OTHER game systems if you want to make sure about the prices- I only searched one or two other than PS2 items- I own one, sorry.

Ultimately, YMMV, but I paid a whopping 2.00 for the shipping for Prince of Persia, which in the end will cost me less than going to the B&M and paying tax.

Reap the rewards, me Cheapies! ORDER ONLINE! AND SAVE YOURSELF A MASSIVE HEADACHE FROM GOING TO THE STORES FRIDAY! IT ISN'T WORTH THE TIME AND EFFORT!!!!!

And in all my years past working directly across the way from my local Best Buy, the lines have been astronomically long! I actually know of customers that waited over 2-3 hours just to enter the store for deals that were long-gone before they even got near the entrance! But, if waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting's your thing, more power to 'ya.

Just order online, you cheap ass b#%(#d. Two guns

[buster90]

I remember the good days when shipping was free now its just a rip-off.

[C_A]

I'm guessing my order will be cancelled, but I'll order Budokai 2 anyway.

[wlau]

Would a mod be so kind as to lock this thread and move all discussion to Watchman's thread?

I cross-posted this over to the Black Friday thread, but I wanted this to get a little more attention rather than getting stuck on page 15 where it's not easily seen.

Yep...it wasn't easily seen, so I missed it.

Please check the topics before adding a new topic next time.

I'll try to remember that for next time.

So you made your thread at noon then. You made a post on a 15 page thread at 2:15, and then you re-posted it in its own thread after someone else had already had the goodwill to post what he (and most others) understandably hadn't seen. You just created another topic to... draw attention to yourself?

Excuse me, Mr. Moderator, but the whole thing of this began with the fact that I simply wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible that the BB online deals were active and maybe, just maybe I could help a few people save themselves a headache of dealing with BB's intolerable lines on BF.

Plus, I calmly asked wlau to please check the topics next time this happens first. He agreed.
I also commended him for including links to all the deals, and yet simply pointing out that I wanted to prevent excess topic postings on the same topic, which CAG frequently asks posters not to do, I end up being a, as you like to refer to me, an "asshole". Sure, I got upset for supposedly being a "pretender to the post". But i didn't use colorful words to express it.



I expect this kind of juvenile retort out of someone on the ign.com's boards, but to see someone who is supposed to be an example of the kind of posters for CAG to act like a punk kid, I'm starting to wonder why the heck I even bothered to help.

Casey, you are a poor example of the definition of "moderator", aka a neutral party. Instead, you decide to call helpful tipsters names.

So, now comes the obligatory reply from you or others scathing me even more for my A-hole-like behavior. Fine. Free country, go ahead. I'm even expecting you to throw your moderator weight around and suspend me or something, for not doing anything wrong than pointing out how CAG likes the boards to be posted.

Thanks for making me feel appreciated, Casey. Glad I could help.

[Xtreme331]

Man... I would so pay $10 for Prince of Persia for the PS2, but i just bought 25 new PC games (thank you EB 85% off).... don't know if i have time for another game.... oh well. dammit there goes my wallet again!

[lordopus99]

^ you must of hit up my store today. According to my manager, some guys came in and out with a buttload of PC games for 10-20 dollars.

Yup. there's a chance that was me.

[LinkinPrime]

Bad Boys is worth it for 5, I think.. even though the voice acting sucks (I think white guys did the voice acting), it's an okay game.

Have you played it yet? Is it really ok for 4.99

[Cao Cao]

Well, I am happy; I used my 14 Best Buy bucks to get Spider Man 2, and ended up with a total of $7.

[lordopus99]

^ sounds like some employee at your BB is going to get fired. Spiderman 2 isn't supposed to be sold until the 30th.
