Kinda confusing info. Is this Xbox only sales or all systems?

these seem to be only Xbox deals from the majority of the titles.

Some really good deals, but I probably won't be doing any of them. I need to tone down my game spending.

01-21-2004, 03:23 PM

The other games listed are 37.99 each

Max Payne is a little short, but its good. Worth $40 to me.

the 2 for 60 is for PS2 too sorry about that its the only PS2 deal in the ad

Bummer. If it were for the Xbox versions it would be a really killer deal.

if you get the 2 games wouldnt they be 30 each..if its worth 40 to you then it has to be a steal at 30. how many gaming hours would you say for max payne 2 ?

snipermike
01-21-2004, 03:41 PM
lol ok one last time the 2 for 60 is for xbox and PS2

i got 10 hours out of max payne 2 and loved every second

Max payne 2 is great, and so is the soundtrack.

Get it for pc if you can, it's much easier to control.

notoriousxbox
01-21-2004, 03:49 PM
Nah my pc is a glorified shoe box right now i have to upgrade but dont have the funds yet. Might have to pick up that deal then. 10 hours is about the amount of time I got out of Prince of Persia and that was a great game to me and I payed full price for it and worth it . I know theyre 2 very diff games but if its well done 10 hour gaming experience 30 isnt bad then.

01-21-2004, 03:57 PM
Yeah, MP2 for $30 is a steal. Great game, though it's better on PC.

Good job snipermike, finally someone beat me to the punch. Here are the highlights of Circuit City's ad for the same week:

Kingdom hearts, Smack Down Shut Your Mouth, Scooby-Doo Night of 1000 Frights, Tekken 4 (PS2) - 16.99 each.

MOH Rising Sun PS2 - 39.99
XIII PS2 - 29.99

Halo XBX - 19.99
True Crime, LOTR Return of King, GTA 2Pack XBX - 39.99

Free Platinum hits game w/ purchase of xbox system (179.99)

Free DVD Remote w/ purchase of PS2 (179.99)

Free NFL game wallet w/ purchase of NFL Steet for ps2

Free $10 Gift card w/ purchase of Sonic Heroes (shows ps2 and xbx)

In an unrelated note, I was at Best Buy last night and they have this thing called the "Halo 2 Promo Pack" or something like that. It has a controller w/ turbo, halo 2 non-playable demo disc, and coupon book "worth" over $200, all for $20. I figure this is a pretty decent deal if you need a controller.

Grayghost: Anything good in the Target or K-Mart ads, or are there any other ads of interest?

grayghost81
01-21-2004, 06:38 PM
I didnt get K-Mart, and in Target everything is just full price (ie "NFL Street Low Price!! 49.99!!" Holy Shit Target, what a deal!!)

Actually they do have these:

Buy an xbox get ATV Power Quad Racing 2 free
Buy a GBASP and get the GB COLOR version of Harry Potter FREE!!!!. Once again Target you fucking rule thank you so much.

01-21-2004, 07:13 PM

Though it sucks that there are no good deals yet AGAIN this week.... I'd be interested in Max Payne 2 for $30 but I ain't gettin' GTA for it....

SEGA128DC
01-21-2004, 07:15 PM
I wish I had $60, I would get GTA: Double Pack and Max Payne 2 for the Xbox! I think $30 for each game is a good deal...

I was wondering too. I didnt buy one when I saw it. If anyone does buy it please post if the coupons are any good.

Dustin Echoes
01-21-2004, 07:52 PM
only $20 for the halo 2 pack? Last time I checked (it was back in December) it was $40. If this is true please someone confirm cause Imma gonna pick it up! Do you think the $5 gift card coupon will work too?

gamefreak117
01-21-2004, 08:00 PM
how good are the coupons? whens the exp date?

also are they (the coupons) only for best buy xbox stuff?
i'm curious too...

and heres a link to the *preview pack

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1072285580988&skuId=5892821&type=pr oduct

heh, i thought it was called promo pack too, and indeed it is $19.99,
thanks for the heads up :roll:

i hope i can snatch a box for $15 :)

grayghost81
01-21-2004, 08:27 PM
Well it just so happens that I just punched the living snot out of my madcatz xbox controller. Just happen to be in need of a new controller now and I do have the cash so perhaps by tonight I (and you) will know about the coupons in the Halo Pack.

Dustin Echoes
01-21-2004, 08:29 PM
the coupons do not expire till december of 2004, and it is good on all video game software and accessories $19.99 and up, so this should definately qualify! Official Xbox turbo controller plus Halo 2 demo disk plus coupon book for only $15 makes this a smokin' deal!

Hey snipermike or grayghost81, I know this is CheapAssGAMER, but what are the DVD deals like in the Best Buy ad? Specifically, I was looking for a deal on either The Critic or Dilbert complete series sets... I believe they are supposed to come out next week. Thanks!

I saw those as well back on Sunday, but they were priced at $39.99 at my local Best Buy, I believe. Do they just ring up at $20, or are prices different at various stores?

Yeah but that still has the current week's ads on it. Didnt type the new ones yet.

Went and got the Halo Pack tonight. The coupon book is about 700 $5 coupons. $5 off just about every game that came out in the second half of 2003. Basically useless because all the games in it are sold at retail so whatever.

It doesn't look like anybody has posted regarding the contents of the coupon book that comes with the Halo 2 set at BB... it is just a bunch of $5.00 coupons for various games-- nothing you can't get with the GGC. Well, thought I would warn everybody before heading out to get one. The controller looked kinda cheap to me too.

If you buy it at Best Buy to get the $20 off, how much is it?

TheRaven
01-21-2004, 10:38 PM
Deus Ex Invisible War and Project Gotham Racing 2 for 32.99 after the GGC is a pretty good deal. Both excellent games I would like to add if I could justify spending the cash...:(

I had a thought regarding BB's Sunday ad. Might not work but it would be cool if it did. Use a ggc on the Live Starter Kit and then use the $20 off a Live game to get PGR2 at $17.99. So you'd end up getting Live Starter and PGR2 for around $83. Not outstanding, but a slightly better deal than normal.
