Target has Tales of Symphonia for the GC for only $23.44 starting tomorrow, Friday morning. Sales ends Saturday at 11 pm. Great price for one of the best games on the GameCube, almost $27 off.

Very good deal for a game that I only hear good things about--this is one of the only things I'll be picking up tomorrow. Thanks for the deal!

So this is true. I'm happy now that I didn't buy it at 34.99 when they had it. I'm so picking this up. If they happen to run out of it, would they give rainchecks or no?

Trakan

11-25-2004, 09:48 PM

No there won't be any rainchecks. :(

EDIT: I guess they do!

No there won't be any rainchecks. :(

Now you made sad. :( Hopefully I will be able to get in on this because I don't know how many countless times I have rented it.

The game was worth the 50 bucks i spent on it, IMO no way you can go wrong at this price

kristianator

11-25-2004, 09:53 PM

no rainchecks? are you sure? i work at target, and i was getting ready to raincheck a bunch of stuff... i think the only things that can't be rainchecked are the ones that say "quantities limited" in the ad. i'll double check though...

this game is like $9 at sears

Target is a great black friday store . . . all of the prices in their ads are for 2 days (not 6 hours). And you can get rainchecks for most anything.

Last year, I got rainchecks for toys for my kids. And a few DVDs . . . I saw the substitution policy . . . but never thought to use it :-0

You should be able to get a raincheck for Tales . . . if its over 33%, it won't have the substitution policy on it . . . making it harder to use for games.

Trakan

11-25-2004, 10:02 PM

Wow, I didn't think Target would give rainchecks for Black Friday deals. That's great! Sorry for saying they don't before.

If you could get a copy from Sears for $9 I would glady play cost+shipping+money for you time. PM me if intrested.

Cracka

11-25-2004, 10:10 PM

i didnt see any at my sears, but my sears really didnt have any of the games that were on sale for cheap :(

Isn't the PS2 version coming out soon with more features?

chubbyninja1319

11-25-2004, 11:27 PM

1. I don't think the PS2 version is coming here.

2. The game is awesome, worth $50. Definitely worth $24.

3. I didn't see this one at Sears. There are a ton of good games there that are not priced accurately. I think i need to go back!

So all over this, thanks OP.

suko_32

11-25-2004, 11:57 PM

So it's confirmed they give rainchecks? I just want the normal raincheck, though I guess the %tage one couldn't hurt either.

Namelessloser

11-26-2004, 01:13 AM

Wow very nice price for this game. Anybody with a Cube that loves RPGs should really jump all over this. IT was worth the 50 I paid.

Trakan

11-26-2004, 01:19 AM

I always hear great things about this game. I rented it the first week it came out and played for like 30 hours. I don't get what everybody sees in it. I think it's a lackluster RPG on a console starving for RPG's right now. I'd still pick it up for $20 though. I don't think I could justify spending $50 on it like all of these other people aer saying. (Or any game for that matter) :P

Don't expect to get the % off raincheck because they stop giving out those. We learn that from the Wind Waker dea.

Is there a Target in Athens?

thingsfallnapart

11-26-2004, 08:41 AM

isn't metroid prime 2 33.99 at target today?

MCyorT

11-26-2004, 09:00 AM

This is indeed a great game, possibly the best RPG I've played this generation (just GC and PS2)! Since I refuse to be a part of the mob mentality today, I'll probably roll out there later on tonight or tomorrow and see if there is one copy left, just so I can have a backup! That's how much I like the game, I've only done that for a few other games ever!

Getting such a polished title for 24 bucks and it's an RPG for a console without all that many is probably one of the best BF deals I've seen for games...

Magician

11-26-2004, 09:06 AM

So Target does give out rainchecks? I'll have to pick up a few if they happen to run out of Vice City and 007: EoN...

TheGreat2nd

11-26-2004, 09:36 AM

Does this sale last til Saturday? Or last only today?
I might go pick up a rain check (I highly doubt it's still in stock at this time)

lurknomore

11-26-2004, 12:39 PM

I was negged on a raincheck. Any successes.

Fatesealer

11-26-2004, 01:05 PM

I picked up mine... the Target I went to had PLENTY left... so if you're in GA and know the Target on Lavista Rd, please go... there's hardly a crowd (at least when I went at 9)

TheGreat2nd

11-26-2004, 01:22 PM

Hope I can get in on this deal later on today.

KrayzieKMF

11-26-2004, 01:23 PM

yea the rain checks only let you buy the item you rain check now

chunlirocks

11-26-2004, 01:32 PM

Here is one raincheck sucess.

davelin

11-26-2004, 02:04 PM

Got one, and Star Ocean for $35.
It wasn't even that crowded when I went.
One of my better BF experiences in recent years.

11-26-2004, 02:09 PM

Went to Target, and man was that place a fire hazard. Empty carts were literally laying on their sides on the floor, and people would not move to save your soul. Luckily, 5 copies of Tales were left. Picked up a copy, and sped the hell outta there. The game rocks, played it for an hour and a half, and enjoyed every second of it. Anyone else notice that the story seems to borrow heavily on Square's Mana series?

TheGreat2nd

11-26-2004, 02:15 PM

It's only a bit more til I can go to Target.
Hope there are some left, if not, hopefully someone can give me a rain check.

11-26-2004, 02:22 PM

isn't metroid prime 2 33.99 at target today?

Nope, 50 still.

Does anybody know whether Best Buy or any other store would match Target's TOS price?

Only if it was in stock.

Might try CC, they've always been better about PM's than my BB's.

TheGreat2nd

11-26-2004, 02:56 PM

If none in Target, I might just hit up CC, only because they're right next to each other :P

You'll be waiting awhile since it is only for the GameCube in the U.S.

Redeema

11-26-2004, 03:50 PM

Gah, must have! $23 is bordering a steal for this game.

mick16

11-26-2004, 04:59 PM

Just went up to my local target and they had a bunch of copies left. Picked one up for $23.44.

They had pretty much everything still in stock except Nintendo DS & the new PS2's.

CrimGhost

11-26-2004, 05:03 PM

Damn, my local Target was SOLD OUT!

TheGreat2nd

11-26-2004, 05:13 PM

Gonna check out around 6:00 tonight.
Here's to hoping that they still have it.

hiccupleftovers

11-26-2004, 05:22 PM

Thanks again NintendoFanGirl. Great deal. I went there and due to all the hustle and bustle and all the people around me, I nearly forgot to pick one up. There were only two left and one the packaging was slightly torn so there I might be still one left but I doubt it. I was thinking of picking up Star Ocean also but decided not to. Overall I must say it was one of my better BF experiences.

11-26-2004, 07:24 PM

Thanks, Mine did not have any in stock, but I have two rain checks. No Problems

Richlough

11-26-2004, 11:39 PM

I got 2 rain checks.:twisted: Used one to match % off(54%) for Metriod Prime 2:Echoes!:P The girl who rang me up did not hesitate to substitute it. The store was raped pretty good, and the display cases were unlocked it was so busy. This was at Woodhaven, MI. I love this site :lol: :!:

mport006

11-27-2004, 01:17 AM

Thanks OP. The store only had 2 left so I got there just in time to snag one.

I gotta go get this game. And if its sold out I'll hopefully get a raincheck! :evil:

11-27-2004, 12:12 PM

Thank you so much NintendoFanGirl!!! I've been waiting for a good deal on this one and would have totally missed it if not for you! I picked up this one and Star Ocean also. They still had a bunch of copies of each at my local Taget in Monrovia, CA. Thanks again! :D

The Tales raincheck does not have the substiution part.

Worth my $25, coulda got it at the CC next door though with PM...I don't know whether the CC had ToS stocked though.

11-28-2004, 12:55 AM

If anyone cares, i snagged some extras at this price before the sale went dead tonight. If anyone wants it, 30.00 shipped. If you wanna bitch that me putting another 4.00 and some change to ship it to you, flame on and go f' yourself. If anyone wants it, glad to help you out. Since i put them on my credit card, checks and money orders only..pm if interested.

crazytalkx

11-28-2004, 01:04 AM

I picked this up and I played for some 2 hours. Great game, worth even $50. And apparently rainchecks don't allow for substitutions anymore......

I heard it was anything over 33% you can't substitute, the Shellshock 'Nam one was 32% off and I used it to substitute for Donkey Konga, plus I got 3 others :)

Also I picked up this too, really great game. I didn't see this thread before I went and was shocked to see it for so cheap. I remember passing it up for, what was it $34 a while ago?

I PM Tales at Best Buy for $24... no problems. I also got a few others games (like the GBA Classics) in that Target ad price-matched, along with the Simpsons Season 4 DVD and Family Guy Season 1+2 DVD for $17.77... I got a whole bunch of other stuff for cheap too... great deals!

Actually... you're right, mine does not, but others do. However I can attest that TOS is NOT $9 at sears, at best it was extremly YMMV.

BTW Target raised the price back up to $49.99, this topic should be locked or deleted.

Damn, can't believe I missed out on this deal. Does anyone have an extra copy to sell for $25 shipped?

sooo . . . you expect someone to take a loss on sending you a game?

23.44 + 1.00 tax + .75 mailer + 2.30 shipping + 1.00 paypal fee

I'd say its about $28.50 to send you the game. You should at least offer $30.00 (its always best to add at least $5 to cover costs).

lurknomore

11-29-2004, 11:08 PM

Anyone want to send me your receipts or an extra raincheck...please. I lucked out at a Target when the sale was around, and the losers wouldn't giv\ve me the raincheck at the 2 Targets that I went to.

Will

11-29-2004, 11:21 PM

Guess people have a hard time ponying up an extra 5.00 after tax to save themselves time from going back and forth and trying to get one at that price.
