I am not sure if this deal was already posted but at Outpost.com you can get Ikaruga for 19.99 plus like 5 bucks shipping. Not bad for a hard to get game.

Hard to get my ass. Seriously every place I've been to has this game. Most people would do better to go to BestBuy's website add it to their cart for $19.99 with free shipping and check if they can do an in-store pickup so they can pay with a Gamer Gift Card and get the thing for $14.99 that very day.

I second that. I searched over every zip I've lived in, none of them had a Best Buy showing the game in stock. but if you find it, nice job! ;)

Actually you can't use a GGC coupon when you do in-store pick up from a website order. Once you go in the store to pick up the item the payment part of the transaction is already complete through the site you just show them the CC you used to pay (and a photo ID) as identification. You could check in-store availability to see if the store has it in stock (though that isn't 100% reliable) and then head over to buy it like normal using the GGC.
If someone has actually pulled this off, please correct me.

I agree wubb. I don't believe it's possible.
Am I smoking crack or in the past couldn't you pay through a GGC? Or defer payment til pickup? I distinctly remember paying for Black & White this way. Anyhow, it is not like Bestbuy won't price match its own website.

A lot of companies don't price match their own website actually.

actually, I know for a fact that Best Buy does not match it's own website. I was told this by a guy running the v-game dept a few days ago at the Norwalk, CT store. could be different at other Best Buys depending on who you talk to, but that would surprise me.

well really i dont think any company price matches anything of the net, but it is surprising how these stores dont price match off their own website.

i agree, i was surprised when i found out Best Buy wouldn't match their own site. the prices are almost always reflected from the site to the store, which is kinda strange based on what i found out. I can't think of any v-game examples where prices are mismatched between the website and their B&M stores.

TRU doesn't pricematch either. The website is separate from the stores themselves. Different deals and all.

Ugh, this is soo tempting...
Then I stand corrected. With Bestbuy's website being out of stock, this isn't a bad deal.
However, maybe, just maybe if you go to a Fry's itself they will price their website Outpost and you can save the shipping cost and wait.
P.S. -- The fact that some stores don't price their own website is f*cking ridiculous. But thanks for the information gang.

Not sure if you can use the actual gift card itself or not online, but when most on here say GGC they are actually referring to using the $5 coupon that comes with the GGC. You can't use that coupon against online purchases.
Somebody posted awhile back that you can enter in the code on the card (cashier scratches it off to read it when you use it in store) and put that on the site, but that's just using the cash you put on the card when you bought it. Personally, I always just buy the card along with my purchase and use both the card and the coupon immediately.

just order it from the website. BestBuy.com has been filling backorders recently, and it's shipped free. might take a bit longer to get, but it'll definitely be the cheapest online option.
