[Ledhed]

Don't even bother with Rising Sun. Just keep playing Frontline and pretend the Germans are speaking Japanese. It's not worth it, not even with a GGC.

[The Successful Dropout]

yeah, i wrote that one last because im not too sure im getting it....i heard that you'll either love it or hate it, but most likely hate it....nice idea about pretending they're speaking different languages though, lol

[Ronin4223]

I WILL be picking up Red Dead For $25 after GGC and price match @ BB.....

[Admiral Ackbar]

Ha BB actually made their x-box games more expensive by dropping the price from $19.99 to $17.99. No gamers gift card. They should have at least dropped them to $15!

[supermariomelee]

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness became a Greatest Hit? Truly a sad day for gaming. :?

[Brimrand]

Oh man, KOTOR for 20 bucks. Awesome PC game at a great price. I just bought it for 50. Time to do a buy/return.

I know that GH go by sales but I do think it is wrong that a C-rated (gamerankings) game (Getaway) gets GH status.

[jrutz]

Good deal at CC for those who don't yet have XBL - the starter kit comes with Crimson Skies already, and then you get R63 for free on top of it.

Crimson Skies = $30 value
R63 = $50 value
XBL = $70

That's $150 worth of gaming for $70.

[scdoanintendo]

I believe that xbox starter kit for $40 is the 3 month trial edition, not the $70 version with crimson skies. The $40 version just has demos, headset, and 3 month subscription card. I could be wrong since my CC currently carries the $40, $50, and $70 versions, it would be sweet if they all included a rainbow six 3 with purchase.

[mobster011]

has anyone ever tried the afterglow controllers? im looking to get some new cheap controllers.

[JohnnyDrama]

The only deal I'll probably take advantage of is the BOGO free at ToysRUs. Otherwise, thanks for the info.

[maxflight]

very nice post! the BOGO deal at toy r us seems very nice! $5 a game is no joke.

[Ledhed]

You'd be right. The $40 kit from the ad includes 3 months of XBL, a headset, and demos for Mechassault and something else, but no full games. Still, you get RS3 for free, so I suppose that could be the free game in this instance.

[Mishimaryu]

wow looks like lots of good deals to pricematch at bestbuy this week. :lol:

[kaw]

I may pick up NBA Street Vol. 2 for 14.99 at Circuit City, even though I still haven't played Vol. 1 yet. :(

Thanks for the post Trustco!

[chickenhawk]

Interesting that RDR is on sale for $30 already. The reviews have been lukewarm for the most part. Maybe a quick prce drop is in it's future. I hope so...

[lordopus99]

I wish the Red Dead would also include the Xbox version. :(

[Fatesealer]

Tomb Raider a GH title? HA!!!!! Sony really has to change those guide lines...

[PaulEMoz]

I rented Red Dead Revolver and it was a lot of fun. Flawed, yes, but a lot of fun. I might pick it up for that. Then again, KOTOR is pretty much a must....

[Edge]

Damn...Star Wars Galaxies for $15 after GGC (just to make sure the GGC does work on all games even if they're on sale, right?). Might just have to try that since my friends play it a lot.

[EggViper]

the only thing i really need this week is a gc controller, i might wanna pick up that afterglow one for $15....unless thats the regular price. does anyone know how much that one usually retails for?

[SupremeNumNuts]

Legacy of Kain Defiance for $20 looks pretty good to me

[doraemonkerpal]

red dead revolver for $29.99 already?! wow... i think imma wait until it's $20 and then use the ggc, hehe. :D

[droidekaspam]

Tomb Raider a GH title? HA!!!!! Sony really has to change those guide lines...

That's what I was thinking. Anyways, Tomb Raider is $9.99 at ebgames.com.

[DesertEagleXIX]

If MOH is 28.88 at Target, and the usual price is 49.99 it could be raincheck season again.

28.88 for $49.99 games, hoorah!

[The Successful Dropout]

getaway was a really, really, really good game imo....and i dont think you can use the ggc on pc games

[Stunna-88]

I'll be price matching NBA Ballers and Smallville Season 2 at Best Buy.

[undyingforce5]

anyone know if best buys sale for KOTOR is really a sale or price drop?

i have the money but i cant spend it unless i know its only a sale...

if its a price drop then i will get it in 2 weeks

thnx in advance

[schultzed]

$10 off xbox games over $29.98????

The way Best Buy structures their deals, one could get $10 off any Xbox game $29.99 and up. Just buy the game and the Xbox live kit and get $20 off your total . . . return the unopened live kit the next day and keep the $10 off your game. They usually split the savings between the 2 items . . . unless they make it proportionate to value of items????

[randomnatorx]

I would strongly suggest renting Paycheck first if you have not seen it yet.

[xboxgamer]

any CD or mp3 players deals

[The Successful Dropout]

the only thing i really need this week is a gc controller, i might wanna pick up that afterglow one for $15....unless thats the regular price. does anyone know how much that one usually retails for?

19.99

is it that bad?

[yeldarb367]

Nice deals this week for all systems. Thanks for taking the time to post it all. One question though...any sale on 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: Special Edition' coming out on Tuesday? No problem if you don't have time to answer specific questions. Thanks again for listing everything though.

[The Successful Dropout]

yeah...

The Good, The Bad, and the Psyclerk, I mean Ugly

Best Buy $19.99, save $10 when you buy it with the Great Escape special edition for $19.99 (both for $30)

Target $19.99

CC $19.99

[ZForce]

I wonder if I could get Toys R Us to match that 28.88 on NBA Ballers AND get the free Arcade Treasures... that would be godly

[The Successful Dropout]

rainbow six 3

[The Successful Dropout]

i assume you meant, what comes with the xbox live starter kit?

Refunds with coupons are always done proportionate to the item cost.

ie...if you buy 2 items for 20 bucks and use a 10 buck off coupon and return one of the items the adjusted refund will be 15.

*shudder*

He's not an engineer... he's a REVERSE engineer...

[egonpax]

I really want Red Dead Revolver. I'm going to grab it.

And another thing, what is this GGC at Best Buy? Gamer's GIft Card or something? I would appreciate it if someone were to explain this. TIA.

[beerguy961]

Will direct my friends to KOTOR for $20.

GGC is the Gamer's Gift Card. There's a topic somewhere

[egonpax]

Well I did a search for the GGC topic but couldn't find it... hmmm

[MICHAE2414]

Here's the topic: The Best Buy Gamer's Gift Card Explained (http://cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1440)

HTH.

[Akkis99]

does that live kit for 30 come with a year sub card?

[SneakyPenguin]

jedi academy at bb for 15 and speed racer vol 2 are mine

[nirav]

anyone know if rainbow six three is mulitplayer split screen because i dont have xbobx live yet??

[TheGreatWang]

Is the BOGO deal at Toys R Us just for that week or is the whole month like last time?

[Rocksnake]

On the XBL Deal at Best Buy where you get $20 off a game, is that included with the $70 Starter Kit? Because that would be a really good deal to get Rainbow Six, Crimson Skies, and 12 Months for XBL for only $80, not including GGCs. So will that work, or is it just the bad starter kits?

[egonpax]

Thanks for the link to the topic man.
I went by my local Best Buy and grabbed one. I'm looking for Mortal Kombat: DA (GC) - went to 2 BBs and neither had it for GC.

I'm definately going to get Red Dead Revolver from BB after PM to CC and the $5 GGC coupon.
Thanks!

[rsigley]

kinda off topic, but i think i'm the only person who actually liked paycheck =\

[Ravaged]

Red Dead Revolver: 30$
NBA Ballers: 29$
Punching the Toys 'R US CEO in the face for having such shitty prices: Priceless!

Personally, I will be picking up Red Dead most likely (First NEW game in forever.)

[Mex25]

red dead revolver will be mine

hopefully my wallet will magically sprout money or else i'm screwed

[guyver2077]

i already have rainbow six 3 and that game is so addicting. i might pick up the starter kit thing for 39.99 for a friend......he wants to get on live...so its only for 3 months??? but rainbow six 3 comes with a 2 month card anyways. so 5 and im sure they offer you more when u call to cancel

[gamefreak117]

thanks for the reminder and the heads up :)

I will too be personally picking up SW:KoTOR and Rainbow 6 with GGC.

[The Successful Dropout]

i think its 3 months

[Chi-Town]

The Target sale prices on NBA Ballers and MX Unleashed also apply to the Xbox versions.

[videodrone]

I didn't think those 2 month card were good anymore.

[JamesM4321]

My Best Buy NEVER Carries Gamer Gift Cards, except at Christmas time. If anyone can pick me up 2 or 3, let me know:

JamesM4321@aol.com

[Mex25]

well the cc near me is already sold out of red dead revolvers so i guess i'm goin to do my first pricematching at bb

[egonpax]

I'm going to grab me Red Dead Revolver. I'm just going to PM+GGC at BB.

Real quick question. Does BB ever call the store you're PMing to check if the item is in stock? Because that's the "store policy." I've PMed at BB to Target once LONG ago and they didn't call.

[The Successful Dropout]

they call all the time with me....but im gonna try and go when the other store is closed and see if they will give it to me means they cant get ahold of them

[x0thedeadzone0x]

at my CC they had red dead revolver, and soul calibur II. at BB they had sonic mega collection for 19.99 (-5 for GGC), and KOTOR PC for 19.99, along with ico for 14.99. I picked up KOTOR, Sonic mega collection, and soul calibur II for total 55$. Not bad.

[Mex25]

alright i went to bb to pricematch red dead revolver and showed them the flyer where cc shows it for 30 bucks and yet they still had to call even though it shows it right in the flyer. anyone else have this problem?

[vrs1650]

I went to BB to pricematch TRU for Conflict Desert Storm 2. They didn't call which is good because I want to get it for the XBOX and not the PS2.

[ElwoodCuse]

How come when you put the Xbox Live Starter kit in your cart the kit shows up as $31.99 - $31.99 0.00 but the Rainbow Six shows up as $39.99 and that's your total? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[JibbaJabba]

alright i went to bb to pricematch red dead revolver and showed them the flyer where cc shows it for 30 bucks and yet they still had to call even though it shows it right in the flyer. anyone else have this problem?

It's not a problem. They are calling to see if the item is in stock, because if it's not they won't pricematch(the vast majority of the time).
Store Policy.

[slimymeteor]

I just pricematched Red Dead Revolver today at Best Buy, went along very smoothly. They called Circuit City and asked if the item was in stock. I guess it depends on which employee you get and how lazy they are, as to whether or not they'll actually call.

[Mex25]

this week sucked first both circuit cities near me were sold out of red dead revolver for this whole week and when i went to pricematch at best buy was denied because those damn circuit cities were sold out and one of the circuit cities even said that they don't have such a game as red dead revolver and if they did then the price would be 49.99 so turns out tomorrow is my last and final f*ckin day to buy this game

[slimymeteor]

I just got done playing it for a few hours, it's a damn incredible game. I really hope you're able to pick it up for $30. Very sweet that I was able to. It's a really great game.

[The Successful Dropout]

I would strongly suggest renting Paycheck first if you have not seen it yet.

id strongly suggest buying it....i bought it tuesday and just watched it lastnight....this movie is definitely a good movie....i have no idea why ppl are downing it so much

[Mex25]

f*ck best buy for their dumbass employees and f*ck circuit city for their dumbass employees also because went to pricematch today and they had some dumb bitch working behind the counter and i asked her to call circuit city to pricematch red dead revolver and she said well its probably 49.99 if it says so on the tag so i told her to call anyways because their flyer said its 29.99 and she gave me a look like i was lying or something so she called asked for it and the employee at circuit city said its 49.99 and she doesn't know what i'm talkin about even though i went to circuit city a couple of minutes before to see if they had any red dead revolvers left and it said blatantly right on top of the shelf RED DEAD REVOLVER 29.99 so this is the 4th time i tried pricematching and still haven't gotten anything so i just slammed the game back on the shelf and left i wish i could go straight up to the manager at circuit city and just slap them then just walk out

[peteyrose]

Woah.... :shock:. Ever hear of sentences?

[Masterkyo]

IF your local CC is OUT of Stock "why" go up to the customer service and ask for "Rain Check" :)
