Thanks Cheapy, for always providing us with great deals.
On a side note, the coupon is not working for me at Gamestop. Is anyone else having troubles?
Edit: Disregard that, I was switching the "CAG" and the "10"'s order.

My guess is that you have to use a CAG affiliate link (use the link in the first post or in the SHOP menu drop down in the forum header.

Suppose I should have waited to get Kingdom Hearts: CoM used when I could now get it decently priced new. Ah well. Thanks Cheapy!
Sadly I can't find a second game. Too bad you can't do preorders, I'd throw Brain Age in there pretty quick.

I'm not sure what to get
Indigo Prophecy and Fable
or
Indigo Prophecy and Kingdom Heart GBA
suko_32
03-07-2006, 10:36 AM
Well I got Kingdom Hearts CoM and DMC 3 SE. Next I'm gonna get God of War and something else. I don't know what to get though. On gamestop, GoW says backordered but when you add to cart it's available. Weird.

Thanks Cheapy,
I'm not sure what to get
Indigo Prophecy and Fable
or
Indigo Prophecy and Kingdom Hearts GBA
I decided to go with Kingdom Hearts GBA and Indigo Prophecy Xbox.
I want to get the complete story for Kingdom Hearts before I get KH 2.
Not too sure I made the right decision with Indigo Prophecy since I know I'll see this for $5-10 in a bargain bin by the end of the year.

03-07-2006, 11:01 AM
Hmm... now Frogger is tempting me as the second game since my fiancee expressed some interest in that at GameStop one day..

Does the coupon work on pre-orders? Have you tried it yet?
Also, I just read the reviews for Indigo Prophecy and I'm now excited to get it. It sounds like nothing I have in my current game collection and I will definitely move it up in the queue as my next Xbox game to play after I'm done with Burnout 3.

03-07-2006, 11:56 AM
The games are out this week and the coupons expire Thur-Fri like Cheapy said, so I can just wait

Are you kidding? I couldn't get it to go. Was that on EB or GS? GS wouldn't let me do it.
sonicbooom
03-07-2006, 02:23 PM
It worked at gamestop. The "10CAG" code is still being fixed for EBgames.
I can't decide if I want Suikoden V and Subsistence at gamestop or Suikoden Tactics and Subsistence at EBgames.
sonicbooom
03-07-2006, 02:25 PM
Actually, I don't think it works for preorders at ebgames. I tried subsistence and suikoden tactics at ebgames and it says I didn't meet the requirements.

Meh... still doesn't work. You don't happen to have two preorders in your cart, do you?
I have Kingdom Hearts: CoM and Brain Age in there, no go.
This coupon will not provide a discount based on the current contents of your shopping cart. Here is the description of the coupon:

I wonder if we can get this fixed or added for preorders in the next two days?
sonicbooom
03-07-2006, 02:31 PM
Nevermind. Doesn't work for preorders at gamestop either. It will accept the coupons when you check out, but when you get to the last screen where you enter your card info, it says the following:
"This coupon will not provide a discount based on the current contents of your shopping cart. Here is the description of the coupon:

03-07-2006, 04:56 PM
Aw man. Why did I already buy DMC3:SE? : (
Um... that's easy, so you could play it earlier. Just buy it again (if you have a second game in mind) and then return the unopened one with the receipt to the original store. Unless you're like me and got it during BB's 2 for $30, then it's the same really.

Here's the big deal:
1) If there's an uptick in sales from EB.com and GS.com from these coupons, we'll see more of them in the future.
2) You won't be paying gas to go to the store to pick up these games.
3) Not every CAG has BB's that keep the $5 off $19.99 or more GGC's on the shelf.
4) It helps CAG survive with money from the affiliate links.

I was thinking the same thing, same as BB with GGC. However, shrike4242 brings up some good points plus for me, those GGC are becoming harder to find. They seem to stock up for Xmas and then they tend to dissapear. For me, this saves me the hassle of finding the GGC and asking for 5 gift cards with $.01 on them...

What is up with gamestop having MX vs ATV Unleashed for the xbox for 40 bucks still ?
botticus
03-07-2006, 05:50 PM
Yeah, my BB no longer has any GGCs, so I'm out of luck there. Though I think I just found one buried on my desk, but nothing to use it on (Sigma Star Saga is nice and cheap at $20, but not in stock - too bad it's not $20 at GS).
Sadly this deal is dead to me as there's only one game I want at $20 and nothing I need now that's more than $20.
jaybird
03-07-2006, 05:51 PM
You can not combine 'Save $10 when you buy 2 games!' with 'Free shipping!'

Some of Gamestops prices are cheaper than Best Buy on certain games.
Indigo Prophecy is still $39.99 at Best Buy and they don't even stock Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories any more. Also, DMC3 SE is kindof hard to find at Best Buy, they didn't stock many copies.

03-07-2006, 06:13 PM
Thanks CheapyD for the deal. I did my part. I miss the time when we had a new gamestop coupon posted almost every week. Picked up a few games I've been waiting for.
Resident Evil 4 GC (damn Amazon/TRU cancellation)
Gran Turismo 4 PS2
God of War PS2
Ace Combat 5 PS2
Age of Empires DS
Castlevania 2-pack GBA
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes GC
Taito Legends PS2
GTA: San Andreas PS2
Mega Man X Collection GC
saved $50 plus gas and time.

SaraAB
03-07-2006, 07:46 PM
Yes it also saves you the hassle of going to best buy (which is like a 30-40 min drive for me in heavy traffic) and getting there just to find out there are no more GGC's on the shelves, or the employees dont know what to do with them, or they refuse to give you the gift cards with minimal money on them.
Also saves you having to deal with the best buy employees (and other rude store employees if you choose to shop elsewhere).
Not to mention you cannot beat free shipping on new stuff, having something delivered to your door is a lot better than having to drive to a store to buy it and waste gas.

I picked up GoW, and DMC3 for $32.xx after tax from Gamestop, fantastic deal. The only problem is they didn't send me an E-mail confirmation, and I didn't bookmark the page that gives you the tracking number... I don't know why I didn't get that e-mail though.

WTF?! Tales of Phantasia is $34.99 at Gamestop and $29.99 at Best Buy (and bestbuy.com).
Well that narrows my selection down to Super Princess Peach, We Love Katamari, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max.

I don't think it is working with preorders. (at least not on EB)
Too bad the two codes are not functioning on EB . . . I have $30 in credit that I'd love to burn. The $2.50 shipping is just enough to kill the deal.

Here's the big deal:
1) If there's an uptick in sales from EB.com and GS.com from these coupons, we'll see more of them in the future.
2) You won't be paying gas to go to the store to pick up these games.
3) Not every CAG has BB's that keep the $5 off $19.99 or more GGC's on the shelf.
4) It helps CAG survive with money from the affiliate links.

Indigo Prophecy is not a point and click adventure (unfortunately in my opinion)...in terms of interface its a lot more like the 3d Lucasarts adventures...its designed for a gamepad with dual analogs, and you use analogs and buttons for different actions...for example, sweeping blood off the floor is done by moving one of the analog sticks back and forth, while picking an item up is accompished by pressing a button.
I'm not a fan of the interface, but the demo definitely showed the promise of a strong story and decent gameplay.
I'm still waiting for a 5th monkey island game and a 4th gabriel knight game.
I think I'll be waiting a while :(

I'm trying to hold out for the EBGames coupon to work.
Kind of ironic that the very site that won the award isn't the one we can use it at.
Furthermore, I like EBGames site better. It works under Opera.
( Note to CheapyD - PLEASE fix the dropdown menu problems with Opera! )
I'm trying to hold out for the EBGames coupon to work.
Me too - mostly because I have credit to spend there and not at GS. To the guy who asked why people are jumping on the 2 for $30 deal - I wouldn't be if it were not for the credit obtained through the trade-in deals at EB last year. Now, that credit is mildly precious as it looks like we can't get any more through deals at EB. But if I can spend $30 credit to get GoW and DAH, and that credit only cost me about $15 in cash to get, I think that is sufficiently cheap-assed enough for those two games :D. I know schultzed, in any case, agrees.

Gave up waiting for the EB coupons to work. As much as I despise Gamestop.com compared to EBGames.com they have been good to me up until they charged tax. I've had good customer service mostly, easy returns (only needed twice though), and one really kick ass in store employee help me get a game on launch (while EB told me to go away because I did not preorder).
I ended up getting Super Princess Peach and We Love Katamari.
Again, thanks CheapyD!

Also, what makes this special is that a number of games have recently dropped to $20 and are ripe for picking.

But I agree, I'm not exactly digging the new front page layout myself.
I made it too much of a pain in the ass to get new shit up there.
I'm thinking about making a forum portal which will allow myself (and perhaps a few select others) to easily front page threads for the forums, but display them in a news article layout.

Yeah, that works fine - it is the CAG10B that doesn't combine with it :D. I fired off an email to EB about it as a last ditch attempt to save that $2.50... By the way, I also tried SAVER along with it and also got the "no combining" message. It just seems that you can't combine coupon codes on EBgames.com. I'd say chances of this being fixed by midnight tonight, are, what, about 10%? :lol:

I just combinged the two on EBGames and it worked. I entered the 10CAGB code first and then the 10CAG. It combined them and I was able to proceed until it asked for personal info. I already bought what I wanted from GS so I stopped there.

Good, I'll try it now. They responded to my email and said they forwarded the issue to the "web support department". I find it hard to believe this was the reason it finally got fixed though. There must have been other people who fired off emails??
EDIT - Well, I don't know if my emails had any bearing on it, but I'll take the credit, seeing as it was fixed within an hour of my contacting them :D. I just ordered God of War and Viewtiful Joe DS for $39.98 in precious EB Games credit. Both of these games are not available at Gamerush and in the case of VJ DS I could only find "display" copies at all my local EB's. I really have no interest in God of War but with all the rave reviews and a chance to order it cheap and give CAG some referral money I decided to go for it.
blandstalker
03-09-2006, 06:39 PM
It's working now.
I ordered God of War and Pump It Up Exceed, which now that I think about it is a weird combination. But Pump It Up dropped to $29.99 and Indigo Prophecy is out of stock.
So does GS let you order more than 1 set? I tried to get a second set at EB and they gave me this message: "Sorry, but our records show that you have already used the maximum allowed number of the '10CAG' promotion". No big deal as I can live without the games I was going to order, but they lost a potential sale there.
Edit - It is hard to tell because it won't let me do another set of coupon codes, but I tried it with a preorder game this time, and maybe on EB's site it works with preorders? It didn't disallow it because of that, just because I'd used the code before (I also tried it with 2 in stock games and got the same error). So it might be worth a shot to try preorders now at EB.
Edit #2 - Never mind on the preorders. I cleared out my cookies and tried it again - this time I get the error that says I need a "minimum of $34.99 of the promotion items" even though I have $39.98 in kart - the preorder (it was for a $19.99 game) isn't counting. And just in case you were wondering, you can't order a single $34.99 or more item by itself and use the code either :D. I tried that as soon as I got the "minimum $34.99 message". But maybe you could order a $16.99 and $19.99 pair?? Don't know if there's much at $16.99 though. (changed $14.99 to $16.99 - there's plenty of games at $14.99 but that + $19.99 comes up one penny short - d'oh!).

And of course, Brain Age isn't available on EB for some reason, so I can't try it with preorders there. I wish their stock matched up at times like these.

Yeah if you clear out the cookie for "ebx" you can at least get the coupon code to take - I'm not sure what happens once you try to enter your account or the same shipping address (on a different account). It all depends on how thorough they are with checking multiple usage. It could be no more than a flag set in the cookie (that sure sounds wierd :lol:).
Damn, Suikoden Tactics - I wish I had known about that as I would have ordered that instead of God of War. But it is still $29.99, maybe I can wait for it to be $19.99.

Yeah... I was thinking the same thing. I know it won't get into my playing lineup anytime soon (if ever) but I want it for my collection and I was worried it might disappear before it got any cheaper. La Pucelle Tactics is $19.99 but you can't find it now.
Oh and I was gonna get Electroplankton but it shows as Backordered and won't work with the coupon.

Finally bit on this deal twice...
EB:
Rebelstar Tactical Command (GBA)
Pac Pix (DS)
GS:
Kingdom Hearts: CoM (GBA)
Frogger (DS)
Not the greatest second games, but Pac Pix I would have bit on at $13.50 a/c used eventually, and my fiancee was like "Cool, Frogger!" when we saw it in the store at $30 a few weeks ago, so $15 is a little better :P If nothing else, they'll be up for trade soon.
So much for not spending much on games this month...

Gamestop's real spotty about that, for example I got one for my first order but didn't with the second one immidiately after. Not like you'd be getting a tracking number or anything since the coupons free shipping is USPS. If you go to their page and go into the my account part though it'll show you a history of your orders. Click on the numbers and it'll show you the summary and the status. Both mine were showing up as shipped this morning after placing them last night so you should have no worries.

Hey, no prob, we appreciate the deal. It came through in the last day anyway. Hopefully there will be another like this when some more games drop to $20 (come on, Suikoden Tactics and Ape Escape 3!). I was glad to be able to get an order in and get CAG a few pennies (I assume you get something when we use the links in the OP).
And I second thorbahn3's request - I'm curious as well. Also, did this deal make the rounds at FW/SD type places?

Maybe GS/EB has a way of tracking coupon code usage on their end, but I do not.

Never though of it that way. Wow, that's really :twisted: of GS if that is in fact true. Wow, pretty sick way of slowly letting EB bleed to death. GS sucks so badly, I wonder how much business they'll get after the assimilation is done. Granted they'll be pretty much the only video game store chain that is everywhere even though like 90% of CAGs hate GS (because of how crappy, condition and price wise, their used game stock is). What's this world coming to... [-(I like their stickers--oh--so much more than EB's though.

Argh, I can't check right now cuz EB and GS got firewalled at work. :cry: I really hope this code is still working this afternoon. :pray: Glitches happen right?

Tekken 5 is available used for $34.99 at EB. Looks like they don't even have new ones. Damn, you're at work now? I was just about to get to bed :D.

Well that means it's just time for you to start a strategic 5 year campaign now. Just have to start pumping up Whac-A-Mole as even more awesome and more rare then Phoenix Wright until people believe it but can't get their hands on a copy to disprove you.

My work is 7am-3pm. It's a beautiful deal since I'm a morning person and I can get out of work so damn early... it's especially nice on days like today in NYC (sunny and 68 for a high). Well, I guess it's no big rush since EB doesn't have new Tekken 5 in stock. Anybody know if GS has it new for $19.99?

It doesn't recognize the email address for if I've forgotten my acount name/pass either. The order number to track the purchase doesn't work at UPS site either.
I did print up the receipt page thankfully.
Has anyone else had problems? I'm going to email them now.....
Edit- Never mind, I checked the order tracking part on gamestop's website and mine were shiped.

Ah, so you are one of those people who I cannot possibly understand :D I'm a night person and getting up in the morning is my worst nightmare.
Back on topic - I hope GS doesn't destroy the EB brand - because I like that EB sent me a confirmation right away after I ordered yesterday afternoon and then this morning sent a message saying both my games were shipped.
And banpeikun, hate to break this to you, but Whac-A-Mole is a clearance item at Circuit City (down to $10 or so now) and I have seen it at several locations. I hardly think it is as rare as Phoenix Wright (and I know it isn't worth squat).

Yours came USPS? Mine is scheduled for UPS delivery 5 days after shipping (so much for "3 Day Select" :D). No biggie, I wasn't planning on playing either game any time soon anyway.
Edit - I should say I ordered at EB, not GS. I guess GS uses USPS, EB uses UPS.

Anyway, I love that Gamestop hooked up CAG with this deal. I truly hope that we get more of these special codes because even though this deal is basically the same as the Gamer Gift Card at Best Buy, it is way more convenient for me since I don't have to drive to 3 different BB to find everything that I'm looking for and that I don't have to waste those precious GGC that I have left (only have 2 left in reserve). I haven't seen a GGC since this past Christmas so it looks like I'll have to make these two last a whole year. Yikes!
