$5 off coupon for PS2/PSP games at Best Buy--NO minimum

[hotwls13]

Anyone else getting Flak from BB employees?

I went today to get some .01 guides and pick-up a $5 game with coupon. They rang up the guides just fine, but they wouldn't take the coupon. They said they don't take copied coupons. I said this is how the coupon came from BB in-store. (My store didn't ever have these, but I did get a copy from the store at the beach when I was there.) Anyway, they said NO.

If I didn't have guides to buy at the time, I would have complained, but I didn't want them to take the guides back as well.

This sucks, cause this is the only Bestbuy we have. I'm not driving over an hour to save $5 on a game.

Has anyone had success in fighting this? Is there a number I can call to complain? I checked the website, but of coarse it's a pain in the ass to get ahold of anyone.

It's not my fault they gave out copied coupons that say "no photocopies".

[KowHunta]

Yeah, mostly evening employees allow me to use as many as I want, even if they have to write it out and do the coupon manually. The morning employees are pretty asinine about it, and told me I could only use one per day. They tell me each time that I can't use it anymore because they didn't give out photocopies, only other nearby stores did. Somehow, the coupons were all given out 20 minutes after they opened, and a lot of friends of employees sure do have a lot of them. Jackasses... Another nearby store refuses to give me copies of games for free, even though I had an original, they kept on telling me it was a copy. WTF! I really wish there was a complaint number to call on them, this is retarted. The coupon reads "any". Half the employees tell me I can't use it on a game unless its over 19.99, a couple say I can only use it on 49.99 titles. Argh, I'm never shopping at best buy again except when I'm using these coupons. Fuckers. I cut my credit card in half earlier today.

[hotwls13]

I totally agree. They try to pull excuses out of their ass not to let you use the coupon. I agree that it say's "no copies allowed", but it was their dumb asses that copied it in the first place. If anyone finds a complaint # for them, please let us know.

Also, I know that some of the games go right through and automatically take the $5 off and some don't. It would be nice to have a list of the ones that just work.

It seems that the longer a transaction takes, (if the coupon doesn't work and they have to lower price manually) the more chance the deal will get pulled.

[KowHunta]

For round-the-clock assistance, call Customer Care at
1-888-BEST BUY (1-888-237-8289).

in class, i'll try it later.

[mcgavin27]

today i got bg&e and pro race driver for 10.00 combined. That brings my total up to 6 games i have got with the coupon.

you guys can add pro race driver to the master list as a 4.99 after coupon.

[alfonsosoriano]

Sweet, I'll have to check this out sometime.

[menchirox]

I found Whirl Tour for $9.99 at my Best Buy...you could at that to the list, but i'm guessing its somewhat rare also...(however...i hated that game and traded it in to gamerush months ago when it was $2.99 at EB for $15 Gamerush credit..)

[wampa8jedi]

List updated.

I've gotten a little flack from employees on certain occasions when I've used the coupon: the key is to be a nice friendly person, even sociable, and to kindly point out that the coupon does not specify anything about a minimum price... Generally if the manager gets involved, I've found they always side with me: better to keep the customer happy than cause a scene, I suppose.

[purevim]

anyone in NJ try this... i don't wanna look like i'm using a fraudulent coupon. I know its legit but a full page coupon just looks weird to me.

Not at all rare.

[KowHunta]

A hint: Tear out or cut out the coupon. Don't do a stack at a time, do them individually. Looks more legitimate. I got a couple Jampacks this way. Also, if you find any games that are less than $5, don't get them alone, they'll probably hassle you. Get that game and at least 1 other. Find a $10 game and the $5 game or whatever, so you pay like $5 for one and get the other free. If you don't want the $10 game, then return it. Voila! free game.

[Roufuss]

Just a little bump for this...

Printed out a ton of these yesterday, going to go try them on Untold Legends for PSP and Metal Arms for ps2.

Hopefully it works, these damn things took alot of ink lol.

[Masterkyo]

I have small coupon version.......if anyone interest Pms me !!

3"X5" version & it work like pancake :)

[Roufuss]

Just used a coupon I printed out today... cashier looked at it for about 20 seconds, scanned it, and when it worked just put it into the drawer.

I guess he didn't believe it was real until it scanned up as a coupon.

Then he gave me the evil eye as I was getting Metal Arms for 5.34 instead of the 19.99 price tag on the game.

[KowHunta]

wait til you get the free games evil eye.

[neocisco]

I'm going to use these at the same time as my free Reward Zone coupon. Devil customers, REPRESENT!!!:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[TheRaven]

Ive used this coupon about 5 times and never been hassled once. If I have gotten anything free with it, I have always bought something else, such as House of the Flying Daggers, which I was going to get anyways.

[wampa8jedi]

Masterkyo--would you be willing to upload your smaller version of the coupon so I could link it in the thread? I'm a fan of the big ghetto coupon myself, but whatever :)

[KwanzaaTimmy]

What a great deal this is. Got XIII, Jampack, Evil Dead, and EQ:OA for free! Only had to use the one coupon and the nice older lady at the register gave it back to me, "Just in case I find anything else later on in the year". She was kind enough to go through the coupon manually for XIII and Evil Dead.

I suppose the fact that I bought an LCD TV helped calm the sea.

But amazing deal OP.

[Masterkyo]

Pms' with your email... i'll send it to you !

PS. If anyone interest feel free to Pms me w/ your email ;)

Off to pick up another copy of XIII for free for my brother...

[KowHunta]

If anyone's got a Best Buy near them that has free games and they have no interest in them, I'll buy em from ya. I'll pay shipping and a nominal amount per game if you're interested. PM me. I need to stock my store with some games that people can throw in at the last second for a dollar or so. Appreciate ya!

It's amazing how so many BB stores don't care that people are getting that game free. :)

[KowHunta]

My best buy doesn't let me shop there anymore because I "abused a glitch in their system". Yeah...using their own coupons is a glitch alright... Too bad I was about to buy a huge TV from them. Guess I'll just get all the free games from all the other stores in the area and actually spend oodles of cash somewhere else. At any rate...this post was to prove that they do, in fact, care that we're getting games for free.

[basketkase543]

Can anyone let me know more details about the "trade in 3 for a free psp" deal at eb? Thanks.

[BigHow]

Can anyone let me know more details about the "trade in 3 for a free psp" deal at eb? Thanks.

It was trade 3 games, get a free PSP game. And that promotion has been over for a couple of weeks now.

[wampa8jedi]

It's amazing how so many BB stores don't care that people are getting that game free. :)


hehe my thoughts exactly :D That's why I think this coupon will go down as one of the more infamous deals of the year: where else will you be able to get FREE games all year long? ;)

I went ahead and edited out my exploit on the Jampacks and the three for one deal in the original post; it's long dead, and is just going to confuse people (apparently).

[KowHunta]

They're not gonna mark anything down to 4.99 for a year now, heh. Well, they do have corporate pricing...perhaps they're gonna be dumb like the rest of corporate america.

Unless they serve you with a "person non grata" legal document, I can't see how they could really keep you out of there.

[KowHunta]

Well, I can go there, they just won't let me buy anything (even if I don't have a coupon). :-/ Considering legal action, kinda retarted of them, eh?

[shrike4242]

I'd call the corporate office and bring it up with them, actually, since I'm sure they would like to know why a paying customer who would be bringing them income, is being denied acceptance from the store.

What, the yellow-shirt Loss Provention person stop you at the door, or something like that?

[KowHunta]

When I try to check out, the managers tell the cashiers that I'm not allowed to shop here because I try to cheat them.

EDIT: I'm calling the customer complaint number today, we'll see how far I get.

I'd call them on that and ask them to prove how you're trying to cheat them. Since accusing someone of cheating isn't theft, and therefore, why would they keep you out of the store? Not to mention its borderline slander.

[wampa8jedi]

Went and picked up a XIII today; apparently they've fixed the coupon in the system, and even though I was buying a $4.99 game, the coupon went through just fine... took all of ten seconds for the cashier to scan the game, scan the coupon, and hand me my receipt (for 0.00 :D )....

[KowHunta]

Fixed the coupon? How?

Hmm, my last post poofed. I talked to customer service, and they're gonna call me back.

[guessed]

I think by "fixed", he meant it now applies to games under $5 without requiring a manual override.

[KowHunta]

oh, that's always worked for me....odd.

[wampa8jedi]

I think by "fixed", he meant it now applies to games under $5 without requiring a manual override.


Yep, that's what I was referring to; when I picked up a free XIII a couple of weeks ago, it had to be overridden, and the same was true of my Jampacks that I got in the first couple of days.... I'm just glad they remedied that; makes it all the easier for the 'demon' customers to reign :D

[wampa8jedi]

Today, I found an Evil Dead buried away in the midst of some other random PS2 games; picked one up for free.... cashier said that I hit the jackpot ;)

[jimbo12457]

The only games I can get for free at my BB are XIII(ive only seen one copy there ever) and the jampacks......:cry:

[Gigamaster89]

Hey, new to this board. On the coupon it says no copies but it works regardless?

[Stevesbored]

Hey, new to this board. On the coupon it says no copies but it works regardless?


You shouldn't have a problem using the coupon. They were handing out copies of the coupon when it first came out. I've been to two BBs and they've accepted it.

[XboxHardcore.com]

I used the coupon today for the first time. Got LUMINES. And the size of the coupon was like 3.5 by 5.5 and I cut it with scissors along the dotted line.

$34.99 Lumines. w00t.

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." It's a private company. As long as it's not based on race/gender/etc.

[wampa8jedi]

Went by my local store earlier this week; picked up the second to last copy of XIII for free... left the other one there for whoever else decides they'd like a free game...

Now I'm back to waiting for games to drop in to the sub $10 range so I can exploit this coupon some more :)

[eviltoylet]

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." It's a private company. As long as it's not based on race/gender/etc.

KowHunta, call up the customer complaint hotline again and say "Do you want to speak with me, or my lawyer? " next time they get fiesty. Even though they reserver the right to refuse service to anyone, they must have a justifiable reason. They can't and should not refuse service to you because you are taking advantage of a deal THEY offered.

Heck, as a law student myself, I'd advise you to call up a local civil law firm; this is a lawsuit in the making....

[Gigamaster89]

Bought Katamari with the coupon *thumbs up*

[SkyGheNe]

So to have an easier time with the cashier - i should go up with two games and two coupons, one game being five dollars and one being ten?

[KowHunta]

yep. that makes a smaller chance of them realizing you're getting one game for free. If they tell you to only get one game, get the free one.

[AzianAsspicker]

are there any games for 5 dollars in this thread that gets 12 or 13 dollar trade in credit at gamerush? I know that Cabela's Big Game Hunter received 13 with the 5 dollar bonus but it went back down to 10 including the bonus.

[atheist_uberboy]

midway arcade treasures 1 for PS2 got $12 w/ $5 bonus for me at gamerush yesterday.

[vgamergirl]

Thanks for the deal, OP!

Since the BB coupon's been posted, I've used it nearly 10 times ( 3 different BB's ) , and never had a problem with the cashiers not taking it. They call me 'Big Spender'! Hahaha.

'Only problem i had was it not working on Virtua Fighter Evolution..since that's considered a 'clearance' game @ $9.99 ( Glendale, CA location ). The system wouldn't identify the discount when used on this particular game.

Phantom Brave is tempting @ $14.99 AC. 'Any good?

again, thanks :D

[wampa8jedi]

^^^

You're quite welcome, vgamergirl--I've used the coupon nearly a dozen times myself, and have had success every time :)

Truly one of my favorite deals, and the best part is that we still have another seven months to enjoy it :D

[slidecage]

the best buy at northcrest makes me sick... i went up with the coupon and they look at it and say we wont take it. I was like I just used one the other day and they call up a person and they said it looks photoshop like i made up the freaking coupon. I said fine i take my business eleswhere. so everyone left and i check out with LOTR guide for a penny (i found one hidden) the casher rings it up and says Im not selling this to you for a penny cause it says 15.99 on the back and calls everyone back. After 15 mins they sell me the guide for a penny.

i was going to buy a PSP out there since Blockbuster now rents psp games but hell with it now they want to treat me like that they can all go to hell

[BIG5]

That's funny. They must really like you!

[KowHunta]

I'm no longer shopping at best buy, they refused to take the coupons (even a couple originals), and they refused to price match the 29.99 half life 2 collectors edition. I didn't have money at the time, because I was changing banks. The manager called me an idiot and said it had to be preowned, or the regular edition or both. Even after he called, nonetheless. Fuck him in the mouth, I'm calling the corporate complaint number until he's fired, been calling since the 17th. I was about to buy a PSP, and 2 ipods (1 regular for me, 1 mini for my gf). I let them know he's the reason they didn't make all that cash, and threw it in his face. I called him a pigfucker in front of half of his employees, along with other assorted language today, when he refused to price match again. Never again. Got the PSP at blockbuster, and the ipods I'm buying tomorrow from Super Target (if they have them). Fuck BB.

[mkg12]

wow KowHunta.....wow......

[KowHunta]

Yeah, I was mad. Actually found a copy at eb on the phone just now, they're holding it for me.

[antichameleon]

Anyone had any luck with a competitor matching this coupon?

[Josef]

I just got a copy of XIII for free after coupon. The cashier didn't even think twice about it...

[wampa8jedi]

Picked up a copy of Max Payne 2 for PS2 for $5, along with a THUG 2 audio CD and Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls guide for a penny each :)

[eraser813]

Got lucky today at my local best buy! Plus I was able to pick up 2 copies of XIII for free with the coupon at the same time. I like getting lucky better!

[hotwls13]

My BB sucks too. They no longer take the copied coupon. Oh well, I bought like 10 games when they were taking it and I even got a couple free. The BB at the beach still takes the coupon though. I go there about once a month and pick-up a couple games. My BB are also fuck ers about PMing places. It's funny too cause they have a big banner on the front of the store that say's we will beat anyones prices. The only business of mine they get anymore is deals like these. I bought my Big Screen and Surround sound there before they started being asses, but no more.

[CoffeeEdge]

Hmm...I wonder if they'll ever start to deny this coupon en masse. So far, I've only used it twice (Beyond Good & Evil and XIII), and I hope to squeeze two more uses out of it (Midway Arcade Treasures and Virtua Fighter 4 Evo).

[Backlash]

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[wampa8jedi]

Coffee--I really doubt they'll ever just deny the coupon; it's been going strong for a couple of months now, and I imagine they'll just continue to allow it.... even if they didn't, I've already gotten more free games from this than from any other game deal ever :)

[antichameleon]

Got Midway Arcade Classics and Max Payne 2 for $5 each.

VF Evolution is next...always wanted that, but didn't want to pay $20 (or $10) for an upgrade.

[The Successful Dropout]

After picking up Robotech Invasion and Sega Classics for $15 AC, I printed out 10 more of them just for the hell of it. I'll be going to BB today to hopefully find Demon Stone, Stolen, Inuyasha...etc. Though I doubt I'll find any of those.

Which law school are you attending? I'm attending the school that Princeton Review says has the "Fourth most competitive student body in the country." So, I'm wondering how it would be a law suit in the making if Best Buy were to deny someone the use of the coupon. As a private entity, they would not be violating the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment nor the due process clause of the same. Remember, the 14th amendment only applies to STATE actors, not PRIVATE actors. The 5th amendment, which the 14th is modeled after, applies only to the Federal Government.

Congress could try to regulate Best Buy's policies and behavior with the commerce clause, as I'm sure Best Buy's activity constitutes "interstate commerce," but I'm not convinced that a PRIVATE entity denying someone the use of a coupon is violative of some fundamental right.

Justice Marshall, in Marbury v. Madison, said that "We are a nation of laws, not men." For every wrong, there is a right. So let me ask you, what is the "wrong" in this case?

[Nirvanaguy777]

[The Successful Dropout]

someone should sticky this, seeing that it doesn't expire until the end of the year

And for the ultimate convienience, here is a ready-to-print sheet of 10 of these coupons:

This sheet should be easily printable from Windows Picture Viewer, or most any other image app of your liking. You can then cut 'em out, and do what you please with them. I always have a couple on-hand, incase I spot something I really want. I'd suggest you keep a couple in your wallet, purse, or what-have-you.
That's $50 worth right there, so enjoy! :D And once again, thanks to the OP. :)

Since we are whippin them out and having a good ole fashion pissin' contest, I am an attorney. :booty: Everytime I hear someone say they are going to file a lawsuit against BB, GS, or whomever, I laugh. The reality is this......

They would squash all of you like a bug, and that is assuming you find a lawyer even willing to take the case. The statement above is a pretty good theoretical argument. Practically speaking, what incentive would I have as the attorney to work on this case for you? Damages are FAR too speculative for me to work on a contingent basis, especially against a multi-million dollar company, and I doubt you'd want to pay my hourly rate. This would drag out for YEARS, Best Buy has all the money in the world, and an army of lawyers to drag this out as long as they have to to bleed a person dry.

A $5 coupon will cost you $20000 in legal fees, but hey its the principle of the thing right?

the coupons that ive printed out are almost a full page...maybe an inch margin on all sides, im not sure....but ive used 5 coupons so far, 2 on 1 visit & 3 on another....i was questioned the second time, only because a game was priced on the shelf as $19.99 and was scanning as $29.99...the cashier asked me where I found the coupons and I told them off of an email I was sent from them (i didn't know what to say)....then the manager said they were giving them out when the psp was released....they then took notice of the fine print that states only one per visit or whatever and the manager said that was why the game as ringing up wrong, which was bullshit...but they didn't care, they let me do it anyway

Earlier this year I saw a boatload of them at every BB I went to so I didn't even think twice about getting more but now there seem to be less of them so I am going to start stocking up again.

[fitzcain]

someone asked if anyone had any luck using them elsewhere. I actually was in circuit city the other day getting my southpark movie I forget to get with my team america (extra 5$ gets you the sp movie), and saw a copy of battlestar galactica for ps2 in the dump bin. (only other copy i ever saw was at ebx (where we sell used games as new....can I help you? so like the popcopy chappelle skit)
had them scan it was 15$...I told the girl to hold on for one sec, I had a coupon in the car. Came back, gave it to her, she hesitated a moment, talked to a mgr, said no its a copy, or a photocopy. I said well of course it is, its off their website, from an email I was sent from them (not sure what to say, always try to avoid using the word cheapass when talking to clerks), mgr said, hmmmm, okay, and allowed it. I honestly didnt expect it to fly, but hey, you dont know til you ask.
Very happy with this coupon, I keep 4 or 5 in my glove box at all times now.

[SDC]

I just used this to get Beyond Good and Evil for $5. Thanks, OP! And thanks to my cool bestbuy clerk who didn't even mention how crappy my print-out looked.

OK, here's a completely hassle-free version of this coupon. In fact, it's a whole sheet of them. :)
You should be able to simply open this in Windows Picture Viewer, or most any image application of your liking, hit print, and be all ready to go. :)

[hiccupleftovers]

I've really got to use this coupon sometime. Most of the games I want to (the 19.99 ones) i already own after GGC. I'm thinking SpyHunter/VF4Evo probably. Could some one please sum up basically all I have to do, because I have already printed out a coupon that is the size of the entire paper.

[CoffeeEdge]

Well, go up to the register with your game, hand it to them, tell them that you have a coupon, hand it over, and that should be it. :)

Have you used the coupon that size and it worked?,
or do you need the full page one?

[CoffeeEdge]

Have you used the coupon that size and it worked?,

I've never used the full-page one before, actually. I've always used my 3.75 inch version, and it works like a charm. :)

[yuy104]

I used a full-page coupon as well as a smaller version I resized....both worked well.

[suko_32]

I've always used the full page one and it always worked. I only used it like 4-5 times though.

[Dante Devil]

has anyone in Washington State tried using the coupon?

[PostalPee]

has anyone in Washington State tried using the coupon?

Ya, I've used the coupon a few times at the Bellevue BB. The cashiers were reluctant, but they let me use the it.

[krispxzero]

Since we are whippin them out and having a good ole fashion pissin' contest, I am an attorney. :booty: Everytime I hear someone say they are going to file a lawsuit against BB, GS, or whomever, I laugh. The reality is this......

They would squash all of you like a bug, and that is assuming you find a lawyer even willing to take the case. The statement above is a pretty good theoretical argument. Practically speaking, what incentive would I have as the attorney to work on this case for you? Damages are FAR too speculative for me to work on a contingent basis, especially against a multi-million dollar company, and I doubt you'd want to pay my hourly rate. This would drag out for YEARS, Best Buy has all the money in the world, and an army of lawyers to drag this out as long as they have to to bleed a person dry.

A $5 coupon will cost you $20000 in legal fees, but hey its the principle of the thing right?
While I agree with Sallyballs that a lone plaintiff in a case over a $5 coupon is laughable, the truth is that this country allows for class action lawsuits, where representative plaintiffs can bring a suit on behalf of the class.

So, a few CAGers could file a false advertising claim or some other unfair or deceptive commerce claim against BB, for example. These suits often rack up hundreds of thousands in legal fees, however, if the class is large enough you could reap millions in damages. The often attracts the hundreds of law firms that specialize in class action suits.

The whole idea of a class action law suit was designed to address the issue of small damages to lots of people.

Finally, as a tip to Kidtrunks, if you want to graduate from your highly competitive law school, you might want to think of the big picture. While the Constitution is great, there are also state consumer laws to think of and federal trade laws to think of.

[antichameleon]

Used this at Circuit City today and got Galerians Ash for $5 after the coupon.

It helped that I had my receipt from Best Buy to show that they did honor the coupon.

[CoffeeEdge]

Holy SHAQ FU, I just got 15 games free :)
I think someone just tripped the hoarder alarm.

Big Picture 1 - The Constitution is not the only document that proscribes the laws which bind the states and federal governments. My original post clearly articulated that certain sections of the U.S. Constitution apply to either the federal government or the state governments but NOT private actors. From this, you should have been able to infer my understanding of other sources of law.

Big Picture 2 - The mere fact that I am in law school should serve as some indication that I am aware of alternative sources of law, such as common law, statutory law, etc. You might want to take a pot shot at me and suggest that "if you want to graduate," but the truth is, I'm ranked in the top 10% of my class. Your acusing me of missing the "big picture" is entirely unfounded.

Big Picture 3 - My post was a response. A response to a contention that there was a good legal claim for being denied the use of the coupon. My response was, what is the claim? I made it clear that neither the 14th nor the 5th amendment would provide a remedy. And I asked again, what would be the claim? Your response to my question was that there are other state laws that MAY provide a claim. Look, buddy, you answer a law school exam question like that you're going to get a 0. Want to know why? Because it isn't responsive.

Big Picture 4 - Is there a state law that would provide a remedy for those who have been denied the use of a $5 coupon? Unlikely, but if there is, I imagine that courts would treat such complaints in the same way they might treat a technical tort claim that has no real injury - nominal damages. So, as the above poster suggested, bringing such a suit would be absolutely futile. Thus, on the one hand the injury isn't worth litigating, and on the other hand, the injury isn't even provided an articulable remedy. In fact, calling it an "injury" is laughable.

So, krispx, what was the "big picture" again?

[RelentlessRolento]

just one dumb question: I am going to go out tommorow to pick up Hot Shots for PSP tommorow at Best Buy but was wandering if they could/would price match CompUSA's price, currently $30, and then take the coupon, making the game only $25... just wondering if anyone else tried it (and i am too lazy to read all the posts in this thread). I bet it's very YMMV for this to work, but i might as well ask... if no one has done it yet, I guess I'll give it a try tommorow.

YMMV. I've never been able to even present the possibility, as they bitch and moan about the PM to begin with. I have heard some get away with it though.

[lurknomore]

As an attorney as well, I'll have to put my two cents in. Can't help that.

Why do we always have to resort to legal action? Sometimes life is unfair and unjust. There are times in which we should stand up for principle and profit, but there are many other times you just have to say "f*** it", you know? Life is too short to squabble over $5. BB is a bitch tho.

[Sockey]

Just got metal arms for $5 after coupon.

[neocisco]

I think someone just tripped the hoarder alarm.

Don't forget the troll alarm too.

[laserdogg]

Any one have any problems with the fact that it says "no copies" on the coupon?

Mine don't say that...................anymore

[PostalPee]

Mine don't say that...................anymore

I don't really think it's wise to change what the coupon says... after all, its has been working with "no copies" on it.

[laserdogg]

No...it's unethical maybe - it was wise though, as it stopped them noticing that and delaying me at the register.

[bluetoast]

Got XIII for free. Damn, nobody accepts this game.

Virtua Fighter 4 Evo...worth it for $5? There's a ton at my LBB.

[CoffeeEdge]

Virtua Fighter 4 Evo...worth it for $5? There's a ton at my LBB.
Yeah, VF4 is awesome. A steal at that price.

FYE gives $7.50 in cash for XIII.... And yes, $5 for Evo is an absolute steal: it's the best fighter this generation.


Updated the main list with the new mark downs--you'd better get to your local Best Buy SOON if you want a ~free~ copy of Tomb Raider, Psi Ops, Madden, Astro Boy, NBA Live, or March Madness :)

[bluetoast]

FYE gives Cash? Hmm, didn't know that.

[wampa8jedi]

bluetoast--They've only recently started giving cash, and there are still some stores who refuse to give cash; one of my local stores does, the other doesn't.

[bluetoast]

Ah, gotcha. C'ville?! I got to UVa...we're like neighbors...during the school year, haha.

[wampa8jedi]

That's pretty cool--already know one or two CAGs in the area... were you a part of the gamer's group this past year?

[bluetoast]

nah, wasn't in that. I was mainly into comic books this last year, I only picked up like 3 games in 8 months!

[Zenithian Legend]

So, lets say I have 5 coupons, and find 5 games that are each $5 that I want. If I go to the register, are they likely to give them all to me for free, or no? I'm thinking to play it safe I may buy some other item along with them, er maybe not there's two BBs real close to me, I could try this at both of them :-k. Some of those 2005 sports games appeal to me, since I didn't buy any last year.

Either take a friend and split it up, or come back over time.

Best Buy gets really anal when you get ONE 4.99 game for free... you're going to have a hard time getting 5 at the same time.

[Masterkyo]

Just picky: SPectrum Warriors (PS2) $9.50, Desert Storm 2 (Ps2) $9.50, Narc (PS2) $9.50 at CC after pricematch $5 off coupon ;)

Kidtrunks,

Allow me to begin by saying that I did not mean to take a pot shot at you. If you took it the wrong way, then I appologize.

Moving on to answering your concerns, I think that it was wrong for you to jump to the Constitution when the issue is clearly one about consumer protection. I refered to this in my original post when I mentioned deceptive trade practices. And from what I remember, the poster that you were responding too didn't even mention the constitution. You start talking about the wrong issues in your exam and you'll get a 0. You know why? Because it is not responsive.

In my post, I wasn't trying to answer a law school exam but I was trying to help CAGers by pointing to possible causes of action. However, if you want a statute, try NY General Business Law sections 349 and 396. The law clearly prohibits false advertising and baiting and switching. If you are from another state you might try looking at your own state's consumer protection laws.

Based on such statutes, consumers may band together and bring class action suits and seek not only compensatory but punitive damages. While the compensation will be small for each plaintiff, the damage was small, so that is to be expected. But the important part is that the consumer has it within his power to hold large corporations accountable.

In conclusion, the big picture is this: Theorizing about the application of the Constitution and dismissing its application to private action may be the in thing to do in law school, but when you go out real practice, your client will want real and practical answers, not ivory tower mishmash.

Take care and good luck.

PS. Here's another tip for law school. Your reader should not be forced to infer anything from your answer. You should have everything clearly and concisely written out.

Whenever i'm near a Best Buy now i just stop in and pick up a Free game.

I actually tried using 4 coupons at once yesterday and got shut down.
I didn't mind though since i'm gonna turn roughly $70 in games into $300 in credit at FYE this week.

[JAMMR]

Got shot down with Astro Boy today because it was deemed a "Clearance Item"... anyone else have this problem?

[WeaponX2099]

Got shot down with Astro Boy today because it was deemed a "Clearance Item"... anyone else have this problem?

I just did too, but I bought Midway Treasures with it so I still got Astro Boy for free. Later, I am taking back Midway to get my 2 bucks cash and 8 paypal back.

[JAMMR]

How were you prevent them from using the $5 coupon on the higher priced item?

[WeaponX2099]

i do not know. I think the computer will do that no matter what.

[JAMMR]

So then didn't they put the coupon on Midway Treasures for you?

[WeaponX2099]

No.

[KingNES]

[Strider Turbulence]

It's happened to me with XIII, it really just depends on whoever is working the register.

[RelentlessRolento]

dont forget to add to the main list that Tomb Raider comes with a free stuffed crust frozen pizza from red barron... I am not joking at all. Great deal for those CAGs that have a tight budget as it saves money on games and food. Possibly the best deal of them all.

[wampa8jedi]

I went today and picked up a copy of Astro Boy, March Madness 2005, and two Metal Gear Ac!d guides (one of which is up for trade; I'm looking for either the Xenosaga II guide or the RE4 guide).... total cost? Two cents :D

I left several MGA guides there for any other cheapies in the area, and there was still another copy or two of March Madness... didn't see any Psi Ops or Tomb Raiders though :( If nobody grabs the March Madness games, I'll probably swing by in a week and pick up another for FYE... but I'll give everyone else a chance that wants it first of all :)

I nominate this as my favorite coupon ever ;)

[wampa8jedi]

relentless--is it some kind of coupon in the case? And are you sure it hasn't expired? If you're certain it works, I'll add it to the main list... afterall, free food is free food :)

[RelentlessRolento]

yes, the coupon is on the cover (a peal off type of coupon) and expires June 30, 2005 so it's still good for the next 30 days.

[Zenithian Legend]

So, I went in today and got my free copy of Astro Boy, as well as, Tomb Raider (essentially for the free pizza) and I saw a bunch of the 2005 sports titles. Yet, all of them were still $30, and when I asked an employee to scan NBA Live 2005 for me, it came up $30 still. :-k Very strange I say, I thought that this game along with most of the other 2005 sports titles were all dropping down to $5. Perhaps BB has yet to update?

[wampa8jedi]

Zenithian--

Only March Madness 2005 dropped to $5; the other games (Live, Madden) only dropped for the 2004 versions.


Relentless--Okay, I'll mention it on the list :)

[dopa345]

Is this $5 off coupon only in certain stores? I searched around my Best Buy and couldn't find it. Just as well, I don't think I have the guts to go for a free game; I can barely get the nerve to get penny guides.

[YoshiFan1]

The coupons were only in the stores in late March/early April but you should be able to print them out from this thread

[BIG5]

I used my first coupon today to get Madden 2004 free. It was one I printed.

[Pojo]

I'm wondering if you can use the coupon at any size (as long as the text is legible), or does the scanner not work like that? The only thing I can imagine is that the barcode couldn't be read if it happened to be too small.

Anyway, I'm going to go get Second Sight or something. I want VF4, but I doubt they'll have an left in stock.

You sir, may be on the wrong website then.


...Those pizza things are pretty good by the by, I may go get a few more copies of Tomb Raider, solely to get more free pizza.

[gamefreak117]

I think I managed to get the last copy of March Madness 2005 in my store, using the $5 off PS2 game. I way I did this without feeling guilty was to just buy a soda or candy, so the cashier feels that their store is still getting some profit. I was hoping to pick up some newly listed guides and trade them, but they were gone.. no problem though. The Astro Boy copies were the ones that I wanted, but was sold out like I thought it would. I am I am pretty luck though, to be able to get a game for "free" in a pretty populated urban city.

[dopa345]

You sir, may be on the wrong website then.


...Those pizza things are pretty good by the by, I may go get a few more copies of Tomb Raider, solely to get more free pizza.

You sir are a far better cheapass than I.

I guess I'll give it a shot tomorrow on the way home for work, though I will have frequented their store for the third consecutive day and spent in total only $5 + change (bought a $4.99 Psi-Ops today before I knew that I could print out the coupon in addition to a bunch of penny guides).

[neocisco]

I got Driver 3 today. Now here's the funny part. Without even thinking about it I grabbed the Xbox version. I'm completely oblivious to this and so, apparently, is the girl at the register since she uses the coupon towards it. It didn't even register w/me until I got it out of the bag just a few minutes ago. I hope I didn't get you in trouble, BB checkout girl.

[wampa8jedi]

I'll be out of town today, and so I'm planning to swing by a couple of foreign (to me) BBs--here's to hoping for a free game or two :)



neocisro--I'm really surprised the coupon even worked for an Xbox game.... you lucked out ;)



Edit: Can anyone confirm that Vexx (PS2) is $4.99 before coupon? If so, I'll add it to the list...

[CoffeeEdge]

Oh, wow. Thanks for the credit in the OP, wampa8jedi (I just noticed). :D Glad to contribute.

[shrike4242]

Anyone used the coupon on multiple titles? Since it does the "checking package prices" routine when it rings out, I didn't know if one coupon works for multiple titles.

[Mishimaryu]

note the limit 1 coupon per household. I tried to used the 5 dollar coupon of March Madness 2005 today. The guy working says I can't use the coupon since the game is already 5 bucks shaq-fu!

Luck of the draw, I'm afraid. They'll sometimes claim that the really cheap games are "clearance," which the coupon can't be used on.

I've managed to use it on $5 games...I got XIII, by itself, for free, no problems and no questions asked.

I've used 5 coupons on the same transaction at the West Hollywood, CA BB. The cashiers kinda know me though... so they may have been doing me a favor. 'Just letting you know, though, it *IS* possible to put through without overriding the system:

All 5 games were scanned, then 5 coupons were scanned after ( they need to keep each scanned coupon on file ).


I'd imagine most BB employees would be a little reluctant to do this, though.... especially when you're getting 5 games for free!

This is true... sometimes Best Buy employees will pull stuff straight out of their ass in order to stop you from getting a good deal.

Your best bet is to go back later and hit up a different cashier.

[shrike4242]

No, I was talking about going up with multiple games, handing them one coupon, and have it take the $5 off all of them.

[CoffeeEdge]

No, I don't think that'll work. You might be able to do what vgamergirl describes above, but that requires some luck. I wouldn't count on that happening too often. At any rate, the coupon only takes $5 off of one item, and that's it.

[shrike4242]

No, I don't think that'll work. You might be able to do what vgamergirl describes above, but that requires some luck. I wouldn't count on that happening too often.

That explains it. I was looking to pick up some cheap stuff to take to FYE for more trade fodder, so I needed to know if I needed one coupon per or one coupon total.

[Pookymeister]

I just realized this, but I used the coupon yesterday for Timesplitters 2(GC). It didn't ring up and she said it was because it was on sale or clearance. She had a guy come over and he said he doesn't know if its sale price or not, so she just manually overrode it and had a manager or something come over and approve it.

forgot the coupon was for PSP/PS2 games only......lol

That's the second report of people using the coupon on non-PS2/PSP games so far. Lucky!

[JAMMR]

Was able to get Psi-Ops for free today... Only brought that game up (didn't wanna test my luck with multiple $5 games and was too lazy to bring another item with me that I'd have to return later). Game was scanned and then the coupon and the check out lady remarked that "free is the best price ever".

[fitzcain]

Best thing for getting free games 5$ - 5$ cpn........is get something else with it, it mentally isnt as noticeable to the cashier, and therefore less chance of getting a manager involved, cause once that happens, as stated before, they tend to pull just about any rule out of their butt, and make up something about this or that, to stonewall the issue. I got both tomb raider and astroboy free yesterday, two coupons presented both went through, and cashier didnt really bat an eye, and I also bought about 50$ in anime titles I was looking for. However, if you arent looking to buy something else to keep, just buy a new release and then return it later. It really improves the smoothness factor. I am hoping they dont pull the plug on these coupons, cause I printed out a bunch and hope to use them for the rest of the year to get a cheap game or two as they drop in price.

[dopa345]

Just took advantage of this for the first time (got a free Psi-Ops and a free Astroboy in separate transactions). I agree with the above poster, probably most likely to work if you buy other stuff (I got a few penny guides in both transactions so psychologically, it didn't strike the cashier as giving me the game for free). One of the cashiers even joked that I was the "sale of the day".

[maccabee72]

I tried it today with a $4.99 Psi-Ops and the girl told me that the game had to be atleast $5. No big deal, as I was happy to get it for that price....but free would have been even better!

[RelentlessRolento]

I tried it today with a $4.99 Psi-Ops and the girl told me that the game had to be atleast $5. No big deal, as I was happy to get it for that price....but free would have been even better!

in actuallity, you can fight this. A girl at one of my best buys said the same thing, but I stated that on the coupon it does not say that enywhere where it has to be at least $5. As long as you fight it enough, you will get what you are supposed to... in other words: a free game.

Also, if anyone is in need of march madness, my BB has about 10-15 of them that no one is picking up. Also, they have a ton of .01 game guides.

One thing that helps is that my good friend and his brother both work at BB and I always buy when they are on the cash register. I they didn't even know about the deal, so I gave them some coupons and some of the games and they smiled... maybe if a BB employee dosn't want to sell you something, just give him one of the free games... that might make them happy.

[psunami]

I managed to get Astro Boy and March Madness 2005 for $0.

Thanks so much for the info on this deal OP.

[galvatron2k1]

Does anybody have an extra Psi-ops, March Madness 2005, or Astro Boy they are willing to sell/trade? I have checked the 2 local Best Buys by me and they are all out. Pm me, thanks.

[wampa8jedi]

Oh, wow. Thanks for the credit in the OP, wampa8jedi (I just noticed). :D Glad to contribute.


You're quite welcome--I fully believe in giving credit wherever it's due, helps to encourage people to contribute... and believe me, the smaller coupons are worth it: now I always have a couple that I can stick in my pocket, and it saves ink too.... both my printer and my pockets thank you :)

Oh, and just call me Wampa ;)


Stopped by a different Best Buy while I was out of town yesterday and picked up a free copy of Astro Boy; there were tons of people in line, and the cashier didn't even think twice about handing it to me for free.

[sabin23]

Which size coupon (small or large) are you CAGs printing out?

Also: Laser or Inkjet?

I was about to use the small coupon today but right before I headed to the register, I noticed the fine print was unreadable... I had cropped that sheet of coupons in my image editor (to print only 3) and then set the quality to "draft."

Now I have to make a special trip back to BB.

[wampa8jedi]

sabin--I've used both sizes of coupon, and have never had a problem with either; Best Buy originally handed out the large, full-size coupons, but the small ones work just as well.

[shrike4242]

I agree the smaller ones work, having exhausted a full sheet of them.

[nmabry]

Hello! I just got back from using four of the smaller sized coupons at two different BB's. At each I picked up one free game and one 5.47 game. The cashiers didn't even acknowledge me, so I would say that the coupons worked like a charm. The free games were Psi-Ops and Tomb Raider: AOD, and the 5.47 games were Max Payne 2 and Metal Arms. Thanks for posting the smaller coupons! Much easier to carry around.

-Nmabry

[fatmanforlife99]

i just got of work at BB and picked up psi-ops free, march madness 05 free, tomb raider free, and rouge ops for 1.99 but got it for free with employee discount

[RelentlessRolento]

just to let people know, some BB have the coupon posted in the cashiere stations, usually taped to the wall on one of the dividers. My freind who works there pointed this out to me and said that all cashere booths had these posted up until the end of year.

[mastershake916..um..ass]

So you can use those with multiple games in one purchase?
I only used it to get Smuggler's run for $4.99.

[maccabee72]

I went to the Middletown, NY BB tonight and used the smaller sized coupon to get Beyond Good & Evil for $4.99. The coupon would not scan and the girl called the manager over to show her the coupon and brought up how she'd never seen it before. She didn't even ask me where I got it, and the manager just went ahead and showed the girl how to enter it manually. I was sure The manager was going to tell me it wasn't valid, but to my surpise she didn't give me a problem.

[CoffeeEdge]

You can buy as many games as you want, but one coupon only takes $5 off on one game, that's it. People have, on occasion, used multiple coupons in one visit, but this is quite rare; 99% of the time, you can only use one per visit.


...The coupon would not scan and the girl called the manager over to show her the coupon and brought up how she'd never seen it before...
Odd...always works for me. Was the print quality particularly low?

I printed in normal quality, and everything seemed to look pretty sharp, but upon further inspection it appeared that atleast two of the bars may have been blurred together.

[stoned99]

I used one last night, bought two 5$ games and they applied the coupon to one of the two. So it was free.

BarCodes are very finicky, they have to be as certain proportion, I noticed when I printed the smaller format, the lines sometimes blended together, which would force them to type in the number instead. I would say stick with the large format.

[stoned99]

Did you use multiple coupons ?

[CoffeeEdge]

Hmm...OK, it sounds like several people have had trouble with the coupon from the 10x sheet, due to the barcode being distorted. As a solution, I have made a new sheet, with 6 coupons, each about 30% bigger than those on the 10x sheet. This extra size, definition, and higher detail should hopefully fix the problems that have been reported.

Here it is:

Think you can add this to the OP, Wampa? :)

[Wario64]

thanks for the new coupons coffee. never tried the other one so i'll use this printout instead

[mastershake916..um..ass]

Thanks for the info.
Gave one to some one I know, but they were like "Hey, this isn't real, it's photocopied!".
So I thoght if I added some color to it it would be more believable.
It looks great, printed on glossy paper it would be sweet, yet it would still be a waste.

Yeah. They're good until the December 31, 2005.

[yuy104]

Just wanted to let everyone know I got XIII, Tomb Raider, and Madden NFL 2004 from Best Buy (all for free of course!) then sold it back to FYE for a total of $19.00!!! They came up to be $7.50, $7.50, and $4.00 respectively. Basically got more back even IF I had paid for the games at Best Buy for $4.99 each.8-)

I used that store credit to get Zelda 4 Swords for Gamecube (without the GBA-GCN cable)that was on sale for $24.99:lol:

[aaa]

crap. i just bought 3 $5 games from best buy, and i didnt even know of this thread. might have to go back to BB tomorrow and get a free game

too bad your store didn't have astro boy or march madness. they get 18 and 21 respectively.

[yuy104]

Actually I bought 2 copies of Astro Boy from 2 separate BBs, and I sold one online to Wherehouse.com...where I got a total of $77.49 in store credit back & got Donkey Konga 2 w/ Bongos and Yoshi Touch & Go for like $6.:D

[Kidtrunks1128]

Just wanted to drop in and thank the CAGs that I ran into at the Natick BB. Initially they were protective of their two copies of Astro Boy, but once I had disclosed that I too was a CAG they gladly handed over one of their copies.

CAG can now add "serendipitous" to its bank of words that describe it.

[sabin23]

In terms of having BB scan these, have people had more success using the Medium size coupon that was just posted yesterday (the 6-sheet one, not the 1-sheet or 9-sheet)?

I used the small ones but they wouldn't scan. The clerk had to manually do something in order for me to get the discount... I figure, the lesser the hassle, the more likely I can get in and out of BB without drawing any attention upon myself.

To avoid any possible complications, I'd reccomend the 6-sheet. That should definitely print well enough to work every time. I'd like to think of it as being probably the best standard. If a coupon cut from that sheet ever doesn't work, I'd be real suprised...you'd have to have a really crappy printer. ;)

When I did the 10-sheet, I was used to printing things with a high-quality laser printer, but I realized that a lot bubble jets and other types of printers might not be able to print the finer bars without them blurring a bit, when they're that small. The fine print is also kind of hard to see. The 6-sheet, however, should work well with pretty much any printer, so it's my current reccomendation for most people.

[eshbums]

Just used one from the 6-up with no problem. Thanks!
Picked up Astro Boy for free.

[mcgavin27]

i used a coupon to get astro boy for free, went over to fye to trade in. The jerk opens the game scans it and then says they don't take games anymore. oh well.

So, i have a open (stupid fye) but never touch (the disc has never left the holder) copy of astro boy which i will gladly trade for breakdown or psi-ops. Heck any 5 dollar game except tomb raider. PM if interested

[jfunkdpg]

I picked up Astro Boy & Tomb Raider: AOD. Had my dad bring up the first game before me. I had the same cashier and he was like "Where did you find this coupon?" I began replying "....uhhh I found it in..." and before I could finish he goes "in the newspaper?" and I said yeah, sure.

Gotta love free stuff, now I gotta find where I can get the most money for them.

[stag8603]

Of the free games, which ones get the most credit at GameStop. I have no FYEs around which, evidently, have ridiculous trade-in values. Plus I got that MORE card because I am a frequent trade-in guy. And are you allowed to get multiple games for free, or is it limited to one game?

[AlbinoNinja]

okay, planning on abuing these, but what exactly did you guys tell the cashiers? or were you limited to just one

[tmei03]

Is Wherehouse.com easy and fast to sell and buy? Can you the credit in b & m stores like FYE or Coconuts?

[Roufuss]

okay, planning on abuing these, but what exactly did you guys tell the cashiers? or were you limited to just one

I just handed him the coupon.

He said "I'm not sure its going to work, since the game is only 4.99, but I'll try it anyways" and the game came up free, no sales tax or anything.

Got the last two copies of Astro Boy... one I already traded in, and one is going to a friend.

[little_krampy]

Of the free games, which ones get the most credit at GameStop.

Go to tradestop.com, get the trade in value of whatever game you were planning on trading in and then multiply tradestop's value by 1.4 to get gamestop's B&M trade in value.

[Genocidal]

Has anyone been to Best Buy today to see if any new games have been dropped to the $5 or $10 mark? I was planning on making a trip up today but the Lazy Ass Gamer in me decided to sleep in and now I don't have the time to be going blind.

I haven't looked into their B&M stores, but you might find something here: http://www.wherehouse.com/help/#sell, they are pretty fast at shipping out my order...hopefully I'd get it soon since it shipped today:)

[THE DARK KNIGHT]

The 10 sheet definetely doesn't scan......Go with the six sheet to travel the path of least resistance. Thanks for the coupons all.

[KowHunta]

Had a friend go pick up the last 2 copies at Denton, TX BB. As much as I hate them, it brings me joy to get things from them for free.

[stag8603]

Go to tradestop.com, get the trade in value of whatever game you were planning on trading in and then multiply tradestop's value by 1.4 to get gamestop's B&M trade in value.

Yeah, I know about that. Some of the games were "Overstocked" though and with my luck [or lack thereof], those will get the most value. I was wondering if anyone had tried this or not and what amount they did get.

my local gamestop gives 12 bucks for ncaa march madness 2005

Was this recently? Or was it a while back. If it is that, I will pick up a few MM05's @ BB when I go sometime this week.

[Pookymeister]

i wish my BB had MM05's in stock... i wouldve pimped them to FYE at 20 a pop......Astro boy is good enough at 18 i guess.

So far astroboy's, ncaa footballs, and tomb raiders have gotten me Neo contra($15 used, but not really used as factory seal never opened), Tales of Symphonia(20$), Xenosaga(again $15 'used', never opened), and Burnout 3(20$).

As long as you dont buy overpriced stuff at FYE, you get a kickass deal

[jfunkdpg]

So far I've got 2 Astro Boys and 1 Tomb Raider: AOD. I called the nearest FYE and they said they give $18 for Astro Boy, it took her like 5 minutes like five minutes to find that out so I didn bother asking what I could get for Tomb Raider.

[TimTucker]

I didn bother asking what I could get for Tomb Raider.

Tomb Raider gets $7.50

[Ravenous]

Well I went to BB and found a bunch of games. None for free but the $4.99 ones.
I was wondering, can anyone help out this newbie and inform me maybe how much these games go for (particulalry at GAMERUSH):

TimeSplitters 2
Beyond Good & Evil
Conflict: Desert Storm Greatest Hits
Corvette
Defender
Fisherman's Bass Club
Ford Racing 2
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch
Smuggler's Run Greatest Hits
Starsky & Hutch
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution Greatest Hits

[Roufuss]

Probably less than $4.99... those deals are worth it though if you using the trade 3 get a used game for $5, since you'll get semi recent games for $15.

I wouldn't depend on FYE though... I ran into a huge problem here today, where the employee wouldn't take the game since "their must be a major pricing problem, since we give $18 and it sells for $20".

She wouldn't even give me a printed price quote on it, and said she had to call her DM.

[darisma]

Saw this thread today at work and was so excited to get a free game on the way home. I printed out the 6 coupon version and it worked like a charm.

I went to one bestbuy in a yuppy neighborhood in chicago and bought XIII and Beyond good and evil. Both for 4.99 plus tax, XIII was free and 4.99 for Beyond Good and Evil. Couldn't find Astro Boy, will go to check out at other stores.

At the cashier, I just told them I had a coupon handed in and it got scanned no problemo, then I asked can I use the same coupon on the other game. She said no coz it's been scanned already. I asked what if I have another one, she said sure. I handed it and woohoo!:lol:

All of these are gone in the cincinnati metro area :( ... only managed to grab 4-5 of the titles before they were are snatched up

[io]

I went to my final Best Buy in the DC area today on a quest for penny guides and cheap games. I never did find the Jak III or KOTOR II guides. And I also didn't find March Madness 2005 or Astro Boy. However, I got most of the other games. I even managed to get a second Tomb Raider for free today. After getting shot down on the 1 game + coupon a few days ago, I decided to try it again today at a different store along with a penny guide (pushing my luck). Total cost, $0.01. Awesome...

I found a new $5 game that I haven't seen mentioned on CAG yet (not saying it hasn't been, I just didn't see it). At the Potomoc Mills Best Buy they had GBA Disney Skate Adventure for $5. I had bought THUG for $5 a few days ago but I'm going to return that. My kids have a lot more fun with the Disney Skate game than the Tony Hawk's. So I'll give my son the GBA version as a "sorry Daddy has been away so long" gift when I get home Thursday (got my daughter some Target build-a-bear clothes that were on clearance for $1.50 - I'm not just a cheap-ass about games, you know!).

[Quackzilla]

Damn, they didn't have Evil Dead.

Well, the (unlimited) coupons last until the end of the year...


This thread needs to be stickied, free games are just too good to let pass by.

[Marty81]

Well, I picked up Astro Boy for free today and immediately traded it to my local Gamestop for 5 bucks in credit. Too bad I didn't know Wherehouse and other places were giving 18 for it.

[fatmanforlife99]

how much does Astro Boy get at Game Rush

[jfunkdpg]

Anyone been getting hassled at Game Crazy using a pricematch from Wherehouse.com? I got two copies of Astro Boy & 1 Tomb Raider: AOD, and I could get $43.50 if they'll honor the pricematch.

[Backlash]

Tried this for the first time yesterday, abd I got Psi-Ops for PS2 for free! (Actually I went with my wife and she checked out for me - figured she'd have better luck than I would). That was the only free game I saw. I passed on all the $9.99 games ($4.99 AC) - I'm so spoiled by free games now, and I have a huge backlog anyway.

[Stevesbored]

There are about 10 copies of Madden 2004 at the BB at Paramus Park (North NJ), but nothing else of note.

[dopa345]

I think I was one of those CAG's. No prob, glad to hook you up.

lol naw I try never to hoard. I only ended up with one March Madness 2005, Psi-Ops, NCAA Footbal 2005, Crash and Burn, and XIII. They were scattered all over different best buys so it was alot of running around.

[Poqueoclock]

Does that same price at wherehouse.com trade in value work for instore wherehouse trade ins? I have one really close to my house and I dont wanna sell it online.

Thanks for clearing that up. I read your statement two different ways, and one of them gave me a :shock: reaction. :applause:

[maccabee72]

I used the coupon at the Middletown, NY BB today and walked out with Astroboy and NCAA Football 2005 for $5.40 Total. I then went across the street to FYE and got $27.84 in credit, which I used to buy mint and complete used copies of Need for Speed Underground and ESPN Baseball 2k5. I had to throw in a couple of extra bucks and those two games won't get much in trade later on, but for an $8 total investment I got two games I've been wanting to play. Gotta Love FYE!

[RelentlessRolento]

wish i had a FYE that took trades... would have exploited it up the arse

[hiccupleftovers]

Woot! First time I did this deal and it went off without a hitch. Went to a BB that I don't normally frequent, which is also quite a bit further away, with my friend and found a couple of THPS4 GH and got them for $5 a piece (used to own this but I traded it in a while back). The cashier had some difficulty ringing us up, since the coupon would scan but wouldn't come up in their system so she had to do a manual override. I think I'll be coming back in the next few weeks to pick up a bunch of the games they have for $5 that I traded in the past. Games like VF4: Evo, Spyhunter, and the first Conflict game. Great coupon and thanks for posting it OP and others that helped with it.

[wampa8jedi]

Damn, they didn't have Evil Dead.

Well, the (unlimited) coupons last until the end of the year...


This thread needs to be stickied, free games are just too good to let pass by.


This thread needs to have people start giving it Five Cheapies instead of Four--what more do you people want than ~free~ games?? ;)

Vanity issues :P


Picked up a free Astro Boy the other day, nothing else really to report... they know the coupon so well at my Best Buy that it always goes off without a hitch these days.

[Engineer_J]

used it twice two different times so far so good, thanks for the six set sheet

[sabin23]

Yeah, thanks OP for posting the 6-sheet version. I had problems with BB scanning the 9-sheet (needed manual override) but the 6-sheet version scans beautifully. I picked up March Madness and Psi-Ops... threw in a Breakdown ($4.99) to reduce any possibility of a manager getting involved.

This coupon is great because there's no $19.99 restriction like the GGC.

[jfunkdpg]

Totally scored with this deal today. I got Game Crazy to pricematch Astro Boy and Tomb Raider: AOD by having them call a local FYE. With my additional 10% from having the MVP card I made $47. Picked up a non platinum hits version of Burnout 3 for $20 and picked up Katamari Damacy for $20 as well, then put $5 down on a preorder of Arterlier Iris. After that I still have $2.87 in store credit. It pays to be a CAG!

[Friend of Sonic]

I was able to get Psi Ops at another store without a hitch. Then I went with a friend another day to a couple of Best Buys and ran into some serious attitude problems. We took a copy of NCAA March Madness which was marked 29.99 to confirm that it 4.99 at the service desk. It rang up as 4.99 and my friend wanted to know if he should go into checkout line to buy it or if he could buy it there. The customer service lady said that he could buy it there, and he showed her the coupon he had printed off from CAG. She looked at the coupon and wanted to check with someone higher up at the customer service. The higherup came over and said she couldn't accept the coupon because it had no back. I was thinking about telling her that the original Best Buy coupons had no backs, but didn't because I didn't see the relevance of the coupon having a back. My friend said that people all over the country were using the coupon and that he had used it before. The manager turned into a bitch and said she couldn't put it through since he had used it before (A valid point) and soon after she was done ranting just left. We both couldn't believe what a colossal bitch-cock she had become.

We went to a second Best Buy, and ran into troubles there too. We had found two copies of Astro Boy and decided to get them. We were in seperate lines-- my transaction went through fine while my friend ran into problems with the cashier. She was saying that since Astro Boy was 4.99, the coupon wouldn't work. Which, of course, was bullshit. My friend continues to contest this and she brings a supervisor. She kicks it into bitch mode and starts to make up rules for the coupon-- the game needs to be 19.99 or up and stuff like that. My friend tells her that no where on the coupon is there a minimum and I tell her that the transaction works fine for me (and if they didn't want 4.99 games to go through, why didn't they put it in the system? Like how it used to need a manual overide...?) She didn't even end up giving my friend back his coupon, and she told the cashier which helped me "I'll talk to you later." So, that game probably got in trouble by... doing his job. Ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong. We're cheating Bestbuy, for sure, by using copies and using them multiple times. But I just don't give a shit. They're one of the worse retail corporations ever.

[Nutts]

Can someone verify what version of NCAA games are 4.99? The original post says that the NCAA Football 2004 is 4.99, and someone else mentions picking it up the 2005 version for 4.99? Which is it? And then I take it the 2005 March Madness is marked 4.99 while the football one(s) are not?

[Friend of Sonic]

We had NCAA Football pricechecked. It's 29.99. I don't know about the 2004 version first hand, but I imagine it must be the one for 4.99.
NCAA March Madness is 4.99

NCAA Football 2005 for the Gamecube only is $4.99
March Madness 2005 for the PS2 only is $4.99

[BlaseDeviant]

But I just don't give a shit. They're one of the worse retail corporations ever.

Agreed. I've had friends working at both EB and Best Buy, and some of the stuff they said about corporate policy and what the management would do would incense you.
