Thanks Trakan 8-)

[Trakan]

Trust, click Menu>Edit Options, and then scroll down to Miscellaneous settings. Change the Message Editor Interface to Advanced if you haven't already. Should be easier to highlight colors, etc.

Thanks for posting the ads.

[Scorch]

Fable hits $19.99!

Too bad I bought it at launch..

And holy crap, did Doom get bumped up? I thought it shipped a week AFTER SC:CT!

[The Successful Dropout]

thanks, i didn't know this....this is beyond way better than the old

[Demolition Man]

Thanks SD for the massive heads up. Nothing big for me, but it is appriciated. :D

[Trakan]

No prob, trust. I love how you edited it Reason: Making pretty. :lol:

[Rubberlegs]

Thanx for the heads up SD. Now I'm glad that I put that Fable back on the shelf yesterday. Been waitng for it to hit $20.

[dc snake]

Thanks OP, I think I might just drop by Sears next week.

[StupidFoo]

Awesome! Thank you!

Anyone think SW: Rogue Leader is worth picking up?

[The Successful Dropout]

this thread was posted b4 the dvd thread, it has more views and more replies...yet for some reason, the dvd thread is showing up on the front page and this one isn't :-?

[Admiral Ackbar]

Hmm... Now I don't know if I want to purchase a GC with a Free PC game or get a Mario Kart Bundle for $130.

[doubledown]

Thanks....nothing for as of yet...maybe Best Buy will come though with a good MX vs ATV price

Fable for $20 is interesting....but i already bought it and beat it and traded in.....

[mtxbass1]

Finally Fable hits 20. I might just have to get it with a GGC for 15. Thanks trustcompany for the early post.

who in the hell is trustcompany? :booty:

[nwaugh]

Awesome! Thank you!

Anyone think SW: Rogue Leader is worth picking up?

Rogue Leader is sweet, and for $10 you can't lose.

[chickenhawk]

Nothing for me yet, but thanks for the post!

[chargeup45]

Awesome! Thank you!

Anyone think SW: Rogue Leader is worth picking up?

That was one of the games I got at launch. I enjoyed it, and its an easy pickup at 10 dollars. If you dont like it, you could use it towards the Gamerush trade in deal and get some credit back.

I might spring for Fable now that its 19.99, but I have a feeling that itll be on sale again soon, so I might hold off. Either way, thanks SD for the really early post!

[CouRageouS]

who in the hell is trustcompany? :booty:
He was this guy who posted the weekly ads just like you did. He had this crazy big collection. I heard he was banned for hacking or something. Interesting how he disappeared and you suddenly appeared... :-k

[nogard]

Thanks for the early info.

[Admiral Ackbar]

That's a great Sig Courageous.

[CheapyD]

Creative use of the post icons...
I should make them smilies too, so all you'd have to do is type :xbox: and you can have the icon inserted automatically.

[stankit]

wow, Halo finally hits 20
whats the deal with the free pc game with a gamecube? thats just wierd

and is Doom 3 bumped up, its wierd that theyre already having ads

[CouRageouS]

That's a great Sig Courageous.
Thank you sir

PC means Player's Choice game, if that's what's causing your confusion.

Thanks for the post as always.

[Schlomo]

Thanks. I was going to pick up Chaos Theory for PC at CC this week for $37.99, but I think I wait to get it a CompUSA for $29.99 now.

[Schlomo]

who in the hell is trustcompany? :booty:

LOL. Nice game collection.

[stankit]

PC means Player's Choice game, if that's what's causing your confusion.

Thanks for the post as always.



oooooo, thanks for clearing that up for me

[PenicillinX57]

Is that $29.99 for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory at CompUSA for real?!?

[silkysmooth]

Damn.

27.99 for MKD this week, followed by Fable for only $20 this week and DW5 for $40. What is a person to do?

Thanks for posting.

[RegularX]

fable's finally cheap enough to buy...but if i beat it already is it worth it to play the "after stuff"? decisions, decisions...

as always, thanks a lot for the early heads up.

[The Successful Dropout]

Creative use of the post icons...

thats what i was thinking too, if possible :)

i noticed that their wasn't a PC icon though

[Vinny]

Wow... CC is really weak this week.

[Mishimaryu]

great hopefully walmart here price matches CC's ad with DW 5 for 39.99 as I still have some store credit to use...I never tried PM before at any walmart btw...

[PS2gamerGCN]

No PSP games on sale yet! Disappointing. Hopefully Target will have some on sale. I guess I was stupid for passing up the 10% off deal at CompUSA last week. Thanks for the ads!

[hiccupleftovers]

Hey thanks again Successful Dropout. Some nice deals this week. Nearly the perfect price for me for Fable. Hopefully when the BB ads come in, it is also 19.99 there so I can have it for 14.99 after GGC. And nice use of those post icon things. The only one of those that I don't like is the GCN one since it looks weird with the purple highlighting, but otherwise, excellent post as usual. And I see that there is RoboCheapy 2.0 now. :lol:

[Murcielago77]

Thx Trust (im gonna keep calling you that) Monday ads, very impressive :)

Also does anyone know about how long compusa takes to send you the GC?

[Demolition Man]

He was this guy who posted the weekly ads just like you did. He had this crazy big collection. I heard he was banned for hacking or something. Interesting how he disappeared and you suddenly appeared... :-k

Its a trap! ;)

[Lexian]

Oh no, I think I might finally bite on Fable. =P

[The Successful Dropout]

updated

thanks for the pc symbol cheapy :bouncy:

[chstypersn]

Thanks for the heads up on all this!

[The Successful Dropout]

bump because of update

[BigHow]

huh, looks like the PSP has utterly fallen out of the weekly ads already.

Thanks for the prices, TSD.

[hiccupleftovers]

Aww man....I was so hoping that Fable would be 19.99 this week at BB so I could get it for $15. Hmmm....Now to decided, should I try to PM it at a good BB and see if they would let me use the GGC and hope that I get lucky or to wait till it's in BB's ads.

[ArthurDigbySellers]

Sweet! I can have the Geek Squad install my Xbox? WTF? If you can't hook up a console, you have serious issues.

[DCriminal]

Looks like I will be going to Circuit City for a copy of Freedom Force vs the Third Reich this weekend! Nice price on that.

Thanks Dropout.

[CappyCobra]

Is that what happened? Strange, he seemed like a nice fellow.

[odhen]

I wish I had a Circuit City still...I'd get Fable for 20 bucks... :(

[rebenns]

-geek squad in-home installation ($159)
In-home installation for an XBox? How retarded do you have to be to not know how to hook up an XBox?

[cruzfactor]

If I wanted to do a price match at Best Buy, would I have to take it to customer service or to any register? (I've never price matched before)

[Dead of Knight]

Best Buy are the biggest fucking crooks ever. Charging for installation of an Xbox? Even OFFERING an installation service for a game system? This shows their true colors.

[Richard18]

thanks for the list! those little system icons are really cool :applause:

[The Successful Dropout]

I'd pay $159 for them tards to come to my house. I'd make them do everything and act like I didn't understand anything...I'd definitely have some fun pissing them off.

you ask why? 'cause im an asshole and this whole geek squad thing is annoying

[hiccupleftovers]

Best Buy are the biggest fucking crooks ever. Charging for installation of an Xbox? Even OFFERING an installation service for a game system? This shows their true colors.

They showed their true colors from the moment they starting calling every savvy shopper, no every American that is trying to get the most bang for his/her buck a "Devil Shopper".

I absolutely detest the whole idea of this Geek Squad that they are running. I think its the most retarded fucking thing I have seen come out of any mass retailer in a long time.

[SqueeMK2]

Shame I don't have a Circuit City, I'd like to pick up the Doom 3 expansion for $25. That said, I DO have a Best Buy. Any idea what the "Weapons of Doom 3" book is? Is it more of a real book, or just a pamplet torn out of a manual that says a paragraph on each weapon?

[tufnoodle]

I absolutely detest the whole idea of this Geek Squad that they are running. I think its the most retarded fucking thing I have seen come out of any mass retailer in a long time.


I had the same reaction as you guys when i saw the geek squad install package w/ the xbox, like wtf?! but i think it has to do w/ the wireless router that is included in the package. some ppl just don't know or won't care to figure out how to switch over to wireless internet and might rather pay someone else to do it for them... *shrug*

[manofpeace20]

After picking up Brothers in Arms and Chaos Theory this past week, I think I'm set on games for a long time.

[sabin23]

Where's Lego Star Wars (XB)?

[The Successful Dropout]

Where's Lego Star Wars (XB)?

:::checks ass::: not there :-?

[PaulG]

The GeekSquad thing withstanding, that Best Buy package is actually a really good deal if you were looking for an XBOX. 50 gift card, wireless router, wireless adaptor, XBox Live starter kit (12month.) If I were in the market, I'd jump on that deal. I'd decline the Geek Squad coming over, but otherwise it's great.

Anyways, thanks to the original poster. Was gonna pick up SC:CT at CC today, but I'm gonna wait for CompUSA now.

[WarlordFDC]

$258.98
Package Deal Including:
-geek squad in-home installation ($159)
-xbox live 12-month starter kit ($69.99)
-netgear wireless g router ($29.99)
-xbox wireless adapter (free)
-bicycle casino (free)
-$50 gift card (free)

Does this mean you get the Xbox, the Wireless adapter, bicycle casino, and the $50 gift card in the package deal or do you get everything?

The way prices are listed for the home install (which I would never need:D), the xbox live starter kit, and the wireless g router it makes it look like they are add on's you have to pay for in addition to the package.

[cruzincontrol]

Thanks for the post

[Demolition Man]

Bbbboooooooooooooooo... no sale on "WWE Wrestlemania 21."

[RegularX]

WWE Wrestlemania 21 comes out this week? i should give that a rent to see if THQ finally got off their asses and demanded a really innovated title from their wrestling game developers...

[H-Town Info]

i think wrestlemania 21 comes out around the 12th

[Vinny]

LOL Sears has the most deals this week? Wow...

Nothing for me this week which is good because I have $0 at the moment.

Thanks OP.

Maybe I missed something here, but why is CC giving ad space to Hitman 2, a game that's over two years old and has been Greatest Hits-ed for over a year? Or did they mean to say Hitman Contracts, which is probably ready to be a GH...?

[fifthcore]

Fable is on the Circuit City website right now for the same price free shipping with order over $25

No, you don't get an xbox it just the service fee that they charge is like $159 bucks and then you would have to buy the products for it to turn out to be $258.99

[cdeener]

Has anyone noticed that the Halo pictured in the CC ad has Platinum Hits lable on it.

[doomgaze_86]

Compusa really does have the PC version of SC:CT for $29.99. It's $49.99 with a $20 instant rebate.. So glad I saw this before I went out today or I would have missed out on it.. Thanks!
