Thanks for the post snipermike. I want to get Simpsons Hit and Run for the PC. I have to go snag a Gamer's Gift Card.

I'm picking up Metroid Zero Mission for $20 A/GGC. And yes you can use the gift card and coupon on the same day.

If I wanted, say, Mario Kart, is there a way to apply the giftcard to the purchase right then and there?

Just buy the GGC, open it and get the coupon out, walk back and pick up the game, then buy it for $5 off. :)

GBA-Metriod zero Mission 24.99 Donkey Kong Country(GBC) 14.99
Question: Is the the GBA or GBC version of Donkey Kong Country? I haven't seen the GBC version for sale in at least a year, and it seems odd that it would still be $15...
In any case...I'm thinking it's time to get me some Metroid. :D

Everytime my bf and I go, one of us buys the GGC, then we pass it to the other to purchase the game. We've never had a problem. In fact, some clerks have said "Oh I know what you're doing..." But hey, it's not illegal or anything.
I'll probably pick up FF:CC with the GGC, if there are any left [-o<

Ok, they aren't talking about the GGC, but rather the $10 giftcard you get for buying FF:CC... Unless of course you can get a GGC... In which case I'll quit making a jackass of myself and back away slowly ^_^

Easy way to get CC and Metroid for about 60 bucks(+ tax)
Go in....Buy 2 game gift cards. Put 50 on one, and 10 on the other.
Go buy CC and use the $5 coupon and the 50 dollar giftcard.
Will be 45 + tax, plus you get the free 10 bucks.
Then go get Metroid.
Use the $5 coupon, the 10 dollar gift card you bought, the free $10 dollar card you got, and the change on the giftcard from CC.
Easy.

For the MK:DD, buy the game, use the gamers gift card and get the $10 gift card. Then return the game, and buy it again and use another gamers gift card and the other gift card.
You will save 5+5+10= $20! The only problem is you will have some store credit left.

for final fantasy CC is there a free gba link like when you reserved it ??? If so I going to cancel my reserve.
Has anyone tried to cancel ff:cc at Gamestop( after getting the link ) and keeping the link ??? ( would be a nice free link :lol: )

Are you sure the GTA DP is only on sale for PS2 and not XBox?
Has anyone ever tried to price match something like this at another store and had the cashier ignore the system designation?

Not many good game deals this week, although I'd be all over DKC if I didn't already own it.
Thanks for the post.

Was it actually out of stock or did they just give it to you? Mine has a ton.

What if Yu Yu is back in stores by then? Can you do it anyway? Do they check if it is in stock?

If u see the item is "INSTOCK" Try go to customer serive ask for the "RAIN CHECK".
Say: some guy or gal tell you pickup your Rain Check at customer service Desk.
A Trick Always work GREAT if is on the Target ads.

I guess it's worth a shot. But then even if they give you the 43%, you still have to luck out and get a clerk who will let you use it for a non-GBA game (if they are picky about it). It seems like it was definitely YMMV about using the Madden PC raincheck on a non-PC game.
If nothing else, I can use my GTA raincheck to get MVP baseball 2004 for $38.88, (assuming it's released before 3/20, which might be asking a lot).

do you know if this is the new 2 disc Casablanca or the 1 disc?

Any other DVD's in the ad?(Specifically, Angel season 3) I don't think there are any new releases in the discs listed, which would be very odd.
Togepy
02-05-2004, 10:49 PM
I just got my early copy today. They say Metroid Zero Mission's release date is Wednesay, damnit!! Maybe I can persuade them to sell it to me earlier. I hate waiting for games, when I know other people already have them!
Casablanca doesn't say whether it's one or two discs, but looks like one. Angel Season 3 is in there for $46 and save $10 if you buy it with Angel Season 1 or 2.

I think I'm passing the torch to SniperMike. He gets best buy about the same time I used to. I've recently been promoted so I don't want to risk my job by stealing flyers anymore. I did look at circuit city's ad and many of you will be happy to know that the 20%-30% clearance sale will be back in effect. (Titles vary by store) I dont remember there being anything else spectacular, but if there is from now on I will write it down or try to remember.

i am honored grayghost81 but i only have access to best buy ads not CC so there is no way i can do as great a job as you and for the record i do not steal ads i just forget one is in my pocket every week

Hahaha Yo one time I had just grabbed the ads and was going into an upstairs office where my coat was to stash them and I walked into a managers meeting filled with all kinds of company bigshots! I just grabbed my coat and walked out like I was leaving. It sounds so dumb to be sneaking around with flyers but who wants to lose his/her job over something so stupid?
Snipermike, you stay with the best buy flyers, I will try my best to tack on the circuit city prices when I can get them.

The ad is out now but I didn't see it mentioned that BB has the Sony brand PS2 carrying case for 19.99, with a GGC and that's $15 for a first party carrying case. Obviously not for every one but I play so much linked Armored Core and attend so many tournaments that my old pelican case is falling apart at the seams. Just FYI to all the folks who haul their system around for whatever reason.

Because they are part of newspapers that my store buys and sells. Also in the past people have been fired for stealing the ad section with the coupons in it. The CC and BB flyers dont have coupons, but do you think they'd make that distinction?
Yeah, I'm a pussy, because I choose now to not risk my job that I support myself with to steal some flyers a few days before they come out.
