Hope that works... at the moment I'm posting this, Amazon has this, through Target, for $14.99!!! Get it while you can... I got it with the EB Games deal already :/

Before I order this, does Amazon honor their prices? Because I have a feeling it's a momentary glitch they have it at $14.99 and I want to capitalize on their lowered defenses.

20.65 after tax can get it for this price at Best buy after all rebates
29.99 Then use the 5 buck off gift card = 24.99 then you get a 5 buck card = 19.99 + tax
Also target always cancelled their price mistakes

The 5 dollar gift card can't be used in the same transaction, so it's only 24.99 for Nintendogs.

Hmmm, what is this, now? you get a gift card when you buy Nintendogs? How do you get the other $5 discount??
I might consider getting one of the other versions, if I can get a deal... I don't know. I have heard you can unlock all the available breeds in any of the games, it's just that each one starts with 6 different breeds... is that true, anyone know?? If so, I guess I'll just stick with my Chihuahua version!

it says free standard shipping when you add it, but then you can't get the free shipping. Not that I expect this deal to go through. Additionally, I also don't have a DS.
I wish I had a sears nearby though...I would pricematch the hell out of it on the 22nd.

If you are using it as Target's price you can also try it at walmart and best buy.

All versions can eventually unlock all dogs...the three versions just determine what dogs you start with.

Here is the reason Amazon gives about not receiving Free shipping:
Please note that some items are not eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping. These include toys, video games and accessories, baby items, Target items, and certain heavy or oversize items that incur a shipping surcharge.
I'll pass on this because of the high shipping charge.

If they PM one, they have to do 2. There's no reason they couldn't. Good luck. Circuit City and SEARS are the best bets, with SEARS edging CC out, because unless you get lucky, CC's policy is to call and check. SEARS is more...how do you say...oblivious.
This deal would make me buy a DS.

Arkay Firestar

Take a printout. Yes, it is their policy to match online competitors, so they will match Amazon/Target. It is YMMV because it is likely a glitch, and when they catch it, they will email everyone who ordered to tell them they are cancelling their order.
Print it now, risk the PM on the 22nd, and see what happens.

"I'm trying to find out when the black DS comes stateside...anyone know?"
Yeah unfortunately nothing official, not even a rumor.
But on the nintendogs.com website, there is a vid of a girl playing with a pink DS.
In the FAQ, they ask, "Where did Brielle get her pink DS"
Nintendo's answer was that it was a special limited one and if we would like it to come to the US we could let them know through their Nintendo forum.
So my guess is Nintendo might be listening to our requests, but we have to register through their message boards.

If you find a lower price on an identical branded item with the same features currently available for sale at another local retail store Sears will match that price Plus, give you 10% of the difference. Just tell your sales associate at the time of, or within 30 days after, your purchase.
If you find a lower price (including shipping, handling and delivery) on an identical branded item with the same features currently available for sale and delivery in your area from a local retail store's online site, Sears will match that total price Plus, give you 10% of the difference. Just print the ordering page, including shipping, handling and delivery, and bring it to your Sears store at the time of, or within 30 days after, your purchase.
They WILL PM this because it is through Target, and Target has B&M stores. Just hope the associate does NOT follow procedures and call it in. The biggest PM I ever got (though it was legit) was DOA Ultimate when it was 29.99 (BB) at CC for 27.xx after the 10 percent additional taken off, since it was marked 49.99 there. The girl was some asian chick who had no idea what she was doing...she took one look at a blurry print, in which you could BARELY make out the cover of the game, and then proceeded to give me the 20+ dollar discount.
Its all about who you snag.

They're all the same. And if you're lucky you can probably find one for 140-ish.

I just ordered it. Free standard shipping was coming up, but it wasn't being applied to my order. One call to Amazon (1-800-201-7575) fixed that, and they removed the 4.50 shipping charge, and I got it for 16.29 total after tax. I wasn't interested in the game before, but for 16 bucks I figured what the hell -- even if it won't arrive for another 6 weeks.

Here is Amazon's pricing policy:
With respect to items sold by Amazon.com, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, we do NOT charge your credit card until after your order has entered the shipping process. Despite our best efforts, a small number of the items in our catalog may be mispriced. If we discover a mispricing, we will do one of the following:
* If an item's correct price is lower than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount and ship you the item.
* If an item's correct price is higher than our stated price, we will, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Please note that this policy applies only to products sold and shipped by Amazon.com. Your purchases from third-party sellers using Amazon.com Payments are charged at the time you place your order, and third-party sellers may follow different policies in the event of a mispriced item.
I'm betting these get cancelled. If they were a regular store, I would be going off on the manager until I got it for that price though. LOL.

Well, check this out, I call and I ask if there's any way to bill before it ships. The guy asks why, and I say that I just wanted to make sure I got the game in case it got back ordered and they pulled it (which was a lie to cover for my real fear, that they would cancel it because it was a pricing glitch), and he asked why I'd worry about that, to which I said it had happened in the past (backorder cancellation, which never happens as far as I know), and he apologized for that "hassle" and gave me a free 5 dollar coupon. So, if they cancel it, at least I get 5 bucks off.
Sweet.

Just write yourself a memo and hang it up. They only charge you when they ship it, as long as they don't cancel the thing. If they do not send within a week, it may be time to cancel.
It doesn't bother me. I wasn't planning on getting the game anyway, but at this price I figured why not? It will be worth the wait once it finally gets here.
That's like saying "Why bother waiting for Madden 2006 to drop in price? Why not just go buy it now at $50?" If everything were about instant gratification, this site wouldn't be called "Cheap Ass Gamer."

If you find a lower price on an identical branded item with the same features currently available for sale at another local retail store Sears will match that price Plus, give you 10% of the difference. Just tell your sales associate at the time of, or within 30 days after, your purchase.
If you find a lower price (including shipping, handling and delivery) on an identical branded item with the same features currently available for sale and delivery in your area from a local retail store's online site, Sears will match that total price Plus, give you 10% of the difference. Just print the ordering page, including shipping, handling and delivery, and bring it to your Sears store at the time of, or within 30 days after, your purchase.
They WILL PM this because it is through Target, and Target has B&M stores. Just hope the associate does NOT follow procedures and call it in. The biggest PM I ever got (though it was legit) was DOA Ultimate when it was 29.99 (BB) at CC for 27.xx after the 10 percent additional taken off, since it was marked 49.99 there. The girl was some asian chick who had no idea what she was doing...she took one look at a blurry print, in which you could BARELY make out the cover of the game, and then proceeded to give me the 20+ dollar discount.
Its all about who you snag.
Yep... there is some lazy employees at the Circuit City's here. I once PM'ed a month old EB ad... the employee never looked at the date, the rest of the ad, hell I don't even think she knew what company she was price matching.
I can only hope and pray this cashier works on Wednesday... I don't want the chihuahua version, but I'll just exchange it out for a different version once I buy it.

Roufuss, I was really tempted to have you get me a copy, but I don't want to spend 20 bucks or slightly more on a game I don't really have a system for...if I can get it from amazon, with free shipping, I would be willing to just have it till I have a DS.
I doubt it will go through though. Sigh.
I will complain if they cancel. I will say the guy assured me it wouldn't happen to me again (cancelled order).
We shall see.
Its interesting how much of a difference 5-7 bucks makes.

If they cancel, it's not that big a deal to me. I wasn't planning on getting this until I could get it for $20 anyway. I'd be shocked if it goes through. Wouldn't target lose a whole bunch of money on this? Chihuahua is now the top selling software on amazon.com

what makes me think they aren't going to cancel is the fact the picture had "57% off" on it. But then again if it's target's mistake, amazon won't cancel it, target has to give them the word to cancel it. Even tho amazon cancels with no reason, maybe target will honor the price?

I've done $20 dollar price adjusts all the time at Circuit City... they never had to call a manager. Hell, I've even done 30 - 35 dollar price adjusts. Even though they aren't supposed to price adjust Amazon of any type, I guarantee that the "customer service reps" don't care enough to actually go through the trouble of checking it out.
Like I said earlier, I've price matched month old ad's at Circuit City no problem... they didn't even check to see what store it was (I had the page opened right to the gmae... it was one of those in store EB ad's). Hell, it could have been a Fry's ad that someone mailed me for all they know.
The point is that just because corporate lays down a guideline, dosen't mean the employees will follow it. That's why these deals are generally YMMV... you either get the CSR that dosen't care about their job, or dosen't even know what the product is, or you get the smart one who knows it's the wrong price and they don't PM Amazon.
All I'm going to tell them, if they even bother to ask, is that it's Target going through Amazon, in which case they'll be like "Oh yea, Target, ok no problem".
I know the cashier I use for all these YMMV pricematch's... she seems to not really like her job, so hopefully she's working on Wednesday if I don't snag a copy from EB (which is what I'll probably do, now that the Nintendogs coupon finally showed up).

So i say expect to get your Cancell notice Come Oct 1
Update: i Called them back to ask about another shippment and how they are saying THEY MUST SELL YOU THAT GAME AT THAT PRICE. If your quoted a price they must sell it to you.... I thought they cancelled price mistakes before.. cause i was just going to cancell my order and get it at EB if the case was anyday they could cancell on you BUT they Said Target has to sell it to you at that price. Target probally could say they never EVER got anymore in instead of cancelling on you. Just sucks you got to wait 6 freaking weeks for a game

if you can find a 5 buck off BB coupon and by the time you take the other future 5 buck Gift card you can get these for around 22 after tax here. I got the winnie dog version.
30 bucks - 5 buck off coupon = 25 - 5 buck gift card (to be used at another time ) = 20 + 1.80 tax = 21.80

you can't take money that's only good toward a future purchase and say it lowers the price of Nintendogs by five bucks, that is just wrong.

well its total bull when one person says YOU WILL GET THIS ITEM NO MATTER WHAT at 16.00 bucks and today they say its cancelled. I called yesterday and they said they would Honor that price and the item will ship OCT 2 2005. Now today im told that person had no clue what they was talking about. I got a main boss calling me in 2 hours im going to complain big time. At least they could give us a 5 buck coupon Hell even Gamestop gave a 20% off coupon.
Amazon gives nothing. screw amazon
o and never scream "stop the presses" it takes like 1-2 hours for them to start back up

its 1% nintendogs 99% another long boring amazon story is the main reason im calling the BBB. I was going to call them around the first of the month but i will push the phone call up a few days.
i already picked up the winnie dog version today at Best buy

Had a feeling this was coming since the Target/Amazon LOTR game was cancelled too (due to a misprice). I've learned long ago with price mistakes that S happens and you just move on to the next deal if a deal doesn't come through...
However, today Amazon gave me a $10 GC from another order that I only inquired about being late to ship 'cause it is backordered. I wasn't complaining in my email, but it was nice of them and it was a nice surprise for just a simple inquiry.

you win some and you lose some, so calm down...mistakes happen and it's apparantly listed on their site somewhere that they don't have to honor price mistakes....the problem with price mistakes is this...while companies should honor them, most won't...the some that do spoil us and then we expect everyone to honor them and get pissed off when they don't...just be happy that some companies do honor price mistakes and get over it...every knew from the get-go that this was a price mistake and all along it was questioned on whether or not they would honor it...well you have your answer and you're just wasting your time trying to save $5...grab a job at mcdonalds, work for an hour, grab your check and be happy...because an hour for $5 of work is worth it compared to the hours of work that you're doing for nothing...ive been there and sometimes you've just got to let it go....then again, im talking to slidecage...who put a million dollars into AOL stocks :lol: i wonder how many years it took you to stop calling up AOL about that :lol:

Well, the better deal was 3 GBA games (did it 3 times :-) ) but even at 4, if you could get $4 games then it was $16 for Ndogs.
I got the Amazon email . . . was expected.

They are usually in the games department, its a small gamepro sponsored free magazine that has some coupons in the back.

Got the e-mail yesterday as well. Earlier in the day, however, I was able to pricematch at Best Buy, so I picked up 2 of them for my sister and I. They couldnt do the $14.99 without giving me the $5 gift card for the sale this week, so they charged me $19.99 each and gave me 2 $5 gift cards which I used on the mispriced Ringu Anthology 4 disc set for $22.99 at Best Buy. Couldn't use the Gamepro Coupon with this deal because it was one or the other. I really couldnt believe they pricematched the printout.

Most Best Buys are catching on to this, as the website price went up today to the regular $42.99. I heard it was working up until this morning, so maybe you want to try the closest B&M and see if it still rings up incorrectly at the register. Good luck!
