[doubledown]

Nice deal...I already have my 360 version from GameRush, but this pice is the best thus far.

[Prepster]

Looks like I am getting Oblivion at CompUSA, thanks OP!

[asianxcore]

Compusa is down the street from where I work, so I'll probably try to get it there Tuesday for 360. If not I'll just get it at work.

Thanks OP!!!

[mario23air]

I wish the CE of Oblivion was on sale too.

[Santurio]

I wish the CE of Oblivion was on sale too.
same here. I am really not that excited about this game as I will probably never finish it, but I still want it.

[seanr1221]

Price Match here I come! When do you think I could get the compUSA flyer in store? On Sunday?

[Scholarly_Sam]

Looks like I will be getting the regular edition, so as to save $25.

[mmn]

That's a nice deal on Oblivion if you price match it at Circuit City and get another 10% off.

[Staind204]

I had planned on getting the CE as well but with this price (and outpost cancelling my CE preorder) I guess Ill just pick up the reg edition. Thanks OP.

[seanr1221]

Thats exactly what I was going to do MMN, but is this their Sunday ad?

[KongaKing]

Thats exactly what I was going to do MMN, but is this their Sunday ad?

Yeah it's in the Sunday Ad.

It isn't a picture of the 360 version, nor does it say Xbox next to the price, so it might be hard to PM it. It's got to be the Xbox one though, since they list PC and Xbox Collect. Ed. The picture looks like it's the guide.

I think that's just a matter of impossibility. You can't finish the game, you just give up eventually. Now if someone did manage to I think it would trigger a scene like in that Simpsons where they fall asleep in church, dream bible stories and when they wake up and go outside it's all end of the worldy.

I'm just shocked it's acctually coming out.

[seanr1221]

Thanks Konga, I'll have to make a trip up there Sunday to pick up the ad because my paper doesn't get it.

And you're right, they might give a little bit of a problem, but once you point out the PC version is listed too, everything should be ok.

[mmn]

Well, Circuit City SHOULD call CompUSA before they PM it, and they'll tell them over the phone its for the 360. Couldn't hurt to at least try.

[seanr1221]

Oh I'd be dumb not to try. After the extra 10% off it's like I'm getting the game for 20.00 off MSRP.

[KongaKing]

Thanks Konga, I'll have to make a trip up there Sunday to pick up the ad because my paper doesn't get it.


Unless you are going to be by Comp USA this weekend anyways, why not just go buy it there when it comes out? By going tomorrow to get the ad, and PM it at CCity, you are saving $1.50 with the PM, after time and gas and two trips, it might be worth just going to comp usa the day it comes out and buying it there?

Oh, I didn't know it didn't actually end. Either way I meant I won't play it as much as I would like. I doubt I would rack very many hours into it but you never know.

I was going to do this because on the weekends Im home and during the week I'm at my dorm at college...but I just did a store search at compUSA.com and here there is one right up the street from my school :D Huzzah!

[Kuma]

If it werent for Suikoden 5 and Metal Gear Acid 2 this week id be all over it for that price

[theredworm]

nice, I'll be PMing this one.

thanks OP

[Wario64]

$39.99 Godfather is MSRP.

[Togepy]

After seeing the ad itself, it looks like this will be the second week I'll have a tough time getting a price match. The picture next to the $45 price looks like the PC game and nowhere mentions Xbox 360. I guess its easier this time since the website here: http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=334659&pfp=SEARCH shows it is indeed the 360 version. So if any customer service reps are in doubt, just tell em to check the site.

EDIT: And now I noticed if you click on the game in their online store ad, it links you to Oblivion CE for PC at $45. So don't let the employee check it that way. I'm guessing what the ad means is any version of Oblivion for $60 is now $45.

[Dude_202]

Does Best Buy price match? And if it does, do they give an extra 10% off like Circuit City does?

[Josef]

CompUSA has free shipping this week so if your local store is sold out, order it from the website for $44.99 shipped.

[tigerjh81]

also pc version of es ce is 44.99 sweet deal for sure.

[Odissius]

also pc version of es ce is 44.99 sweet deal for sure.

Excuse me, but where did you see this? If it was on the net, can I please get a link.

[ajumbaje]

if i decide to get oblivion, im using my 5 dollar off rz coupon and pming at bb

[ejgarc]

How much less do I pay if I PM at CC, is it $1.50 (the difference between the two prices) or is it $6.00 (10% of the price)? This is the first time I have tried to get the extra 10% so I am sorry if this question comes out retarded.

[simpsonps121]

Guys, Another option is Sears. They will honor competitors web prices.

[Snake2715]

Well best buy makes it sound as good as crcuit city BUT they have fine print.. So they will price match if you havent bought the game but not do the 10% if you arelady bought it and then find it cheaper then they will match plus 10% of the difference.

So yes and No. Give Circuit City your business if you can.

[pinatamonkey]

they don't have the PC CE of oblivion on the website? also, the page for the PC version has a picture of the CE, but it doesn't state that it is, making me think it's probably just the wrong picture they're showing, and you'd get the regular edition...

That coupon looks fishy. There's no barcode. I'm sure it's valid, but will CompUSA employees be suspicious?

[mick16]

It came in an e-mail I got from them today with my updated standings in the contest.

The game is called "CompUSA Bracket Breaker game". It's a legit coupon and there shouldn't be an issue with them taking it despite the lack of a barcode.

Here's another link of an earlier version I got when initially registering:

[Staind204]

You'd get it for $43.49 + tax. Not hardly worth the hassle for me.

Does "Limited to one in-stock product only" mean that you can only use it on one single game of $25 or more?

I was interested in some $5 games they have on clearance. It would be good to be able to use the coupon on a combined purchase of $25 or more.

[tigerjh81]

[Zarkon]

That's for the Xbox 360 version.

[markholladay]

I just called my Comp USa to make sure that they have it in stock, since it needs to be in stock for the price match, and they said they have not received it yet. Poop.

[dsullo]

i called too not in stock. I will check at lunch

[ofacto]

I was planning on being at the CompUSA store right when the open so I could snag a copy of Oblivion, but I have a sinking feeling that they won't have it stock. It seems like no one in the L.A. area has it yet, they all say they are getting their deliveries today.

[dsullo]

I am definately holding out to buy from CompUSA. No sense in spending 15.00 more at GS

[bil4ltool]

Me too, or Wal Mart or BB to PM it.

[simpsonps121]

Yep - Columbia MD - None at Compusa. (Also none at Target.)

TONS at EB.

Matthew

[ejgarc]

They had some copies at CompUSA in Knoxville, TN. Also, printed out that coupon and got the game for $39.99. The lady gave me no trouble at all with it.

[peloquin17]

the idiots at bestbuy wouldn't price match because the compusa up the block didnt get their shipment in yet, so they technically "didn't have any"

ill go to a different compusa tonight.

[dsullo]

success

I picked up the regular XBOX 360 version of Oblivion today for 42.00 (tax included)

[TheKindred]

usually stores like compuse release games on thursdays

[tigerjh81]

ads says tuesday and lady there said later today, so i end up spending like 120 bucks at BB for pc ce, and xbox 360 version. gonna go price match it later today

[psunami]

My Best Buy did a price match off of the webpage even though it said that they didn't have any in stock. I was shocked.... and happy. :)

How do you price match it after you bought it at Best Buy?

Oh, and i called Compusa twice this morning, to see if they had the game in, both times they said no, the first time he said to call back at 3:00. So I talk to to them at 3:00 and he tells me it is all sold out and that they have had the game since they opened the doors this morning. And I only have one compusa in the area. Arghghghgh. That is so frustrating. Are there any places that price match without calling the store to check if it is in stock.

I got lucky. I called CompUSA around 11 and the lady held the copy for me. Before I picked it up I was looking around the games and they didnt even have a display copy out. Not to rub it in but the game is amazing thus far, it seems to be more "straight forward" than Morrowind did. So far I don't feel LOST at all but I do have a TON of freedom, the game is beautiful. Try price matching Sears (if they even carry the game). When I worked there we never called to see if the item was in stock.

[markholladay]

Whoo hoo!!! finally go it, installing it right now. Good luck to everyone else trying to find it and have fun playing

[mick16]

I went to CompUsa in Jacksonville and all they had received was the CE edition and not the regular version for the 360. The guy said to come back on Thursday when they get their next shipment.

Its BS they advertise it for sale on Tuesday but its not in the store!

[adamsappel]

I price-matched at Circuit City and the clerk rang it up at $37.99, so all told it was $39.89!

I have to thank you tigerjh81 for that link. I printed it out and took it to BB and they sold me Oblivion CE(360) for $44.99!!

[plastikpyro]

I went to 4 different stores in socal and everyone of them were OOS so I had the manager check the computer. Every Compusa from Long Beach to Mission Viejo only received 2 and were OOS. WTF is up with that? Sounds like a BS sales tactic to me cause they had plenty of PC and CE versions. I ended up going to CC and having it pricematched for 43.49 + tax but man I really wanted to use the $5 coupon dammit!

*notice how the ad doesnt list the sku# for the regular x360 version and the picture next to the 44.99 price is cropped not to show the xbox360 logo on top.

Yeah I went to 3 CompUSAs and none of them had in stock. They told me that their shipments would come later in the day but I guess that was BS cause they still didn't have them instock when I called back at 6:00pm. Bestbuy had a ton of them but they wouldn't pricematch cause the ad didn't say what version it was for and the picture looked different.

I bought anyway cause I really wanted to play it, I'll just go back and try to PM again.

shit compusa is know for their shitty sales! They put stuff on ads and never have it on stock!!!

[onapartyrock]

The stores in Houston got them, about 4 copies. Thing is, CompUSA really isn't huge on Videogames and probably did not expect much of a demand - sad but true. Also the thing with calling them for instock status is that if they received it that day the item won't show up in their system until the next day, so when you called and the cahsier said they didn't have them in stock - they probably did have it.

[peloquin17]

did anyone in NJ find a compusa that has this game?

[plastikpyro]

I find it funny that their website now says "SOLD OUT!" ?! It went from "available soon" to "sold out" and totally skipped over "in stock"

That's complete bullshit. I've been watching the website for days now and it went from "coming soon" to "sold out" just like you said. Fuck compussr.

With the exception of checking inventory I had a similar incident. The guy working there blatantly told me, "well we usually don't get the game until well after it comes out because when you get the game is based on how much Microsoft likes you. Its usually about a week after the release that we get new games in" So then I asked him "Well what's the point of advertising it in the release week?" His reply, "Well this ad is printed up 6 weeks in advance" Well that makes a lot of fucking sense.

That's alright though, I also just went to circuit city and pricematched it there.

[Teknoman]

So basically if I went to get Oblivion at CompUSA I could get it for 34.99(39.99 + the coupon)?

[plastikpyro]

No, if you went to CC to pricematch you would pay 44.99 minus an additional 10% the difference of $15 which is 1.50. The game would cost you 43.49 + tax. If you went to compusa it would be 44.99 minus the $5 dollar coupon so it would be 39.99 + tax.

[xraytd]

Yeah, I also price matched but at BestBuy in Culver City (Washington Blvd). Luckily, the lady just matched it based on the ad and didn't bother to call and check for CompUSA stock.

[peloquin17]

i got one at compusa. they took the $5 off too.

the guy ringing me up said people were asking all day for the game and the only got 2 copies in this morning.

thats some bullshit.

EDIT: the CompUSA on rt 10 in East Hanover doesn't have anymore in case you're wondering.

[seanr1221]

Went to the CompUSA in Montgomeryville, PA and they were sold out. They said they only got in 3 :-/

So I went over to BestBuy and priced matched :D

[DomLando]

I went to my local Best Buy today with the Comp USA ad and pricematched Oblivion. I got the Collector's Edition for 360 for 44.99. The girl questioned it at first but then just said whatever and rang it through.

Nice

[explorer1990]

I got blocked at Best Buy last night for a price match. The girl called 2 CompUSA's in the Pittsburgh Area and neither had it in stock <go figure>. I asked "Why does it matter if they have it in stock? If I don't buy it here, I'm just gonna get it there tomorrow. And if they don't have it in stock I'll get a raincheck." She asked the Customer Service Nazi and SHE said "No game for you!" Bullshit.

Anyway, I trekked to CompUSA this afternoon. They had none in stock <go figure> Only got 2 in the initial shipment <no shit>. So I got a raincheck.

Decided to go across the street to Cirrcuit City and try a pricematch. Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! Circuit City pricematched without calling for "IN STOCK STATUS" <bullshit policy IMHO> and I got the extra 10% off the difference.

Thanks Circuit City....You Rock!

[carldisc]

They gave you a raincheck at CompUsa? I just got back from there and they were sold out. I asked the guy at customer service if they gave rainchecks on advertised merchandise and he told me no. Pretty sure he was clueless, however. Going to try and PM tomorrow at BestBuy. Hope it works because I have a $10 reward zone coupon I would like to use as well.

[keithp]

She asked the Customer Service Nazi and SHE said "No game for you!" !

Haha..that's some funny shit...LOL..congrats on finally getting it though..

[Southberm]

well i called in this morning, and they had 4 left. The lady was nice enough to hold one for me, so later that afternoon i stopped by compusa and although there were none left on the shelves, mine was sitting nicely at the costomer service counter with my name at it.....DAMN THIS GAME IS ADDICTIVE AS HELL

[explorer1990]

Regarding the raincheck at CompUSA, I basically had to ask for it several times.

Me: Can I get a raincheck?
CS Manager: Wellllll.....we aren't sure when we're gonna get them in.
Me: So, can I get a raincheck?
CS Manager: Wellllll.....It may be a while until we get them.
Me: That's fine, I can wait.
CS Manager: Wellllll.....okay, if you don't mind waiting.

And that was the abridged version. Christ, it was like pulling teeth.

[ofacto]

Well Best Buy refused the price match again. First they claimed it was for the PC version even though the ad says the PC version is only $39.99, then they said the price of the game was $69.99 at CompUSA so I actually saved money by buying it at Best Buy, (what are they smoking?) I told them that was for the CE edition and I had the webpage printout showing the XBOX 360 version was $44.99. The said that it was not a real "ad". I just left cause I knew they weren't going to pricematch after all the excuse they were giving me.

I guess I will just try PMing at Circuit City or swing by CompUSA on Thurs to see if they get more copies in.

Most Best Buy's seem to have a stick up their ass when it comes to price matching. I'd definetly try Circuit City.

[jollydwarf]

That's another reason I'm hoping that CompUSA will have it back in stock before the sale ends; to NOT give Best Buy the business.

They're all evil to varying degrees, but Best Buy really tends to bring the 'tude when it comes to Customer Service issues, don't they?

EDIT: Of course, by extension, here's a question I posed in another thread:

My question is: What are the chances that the CompUSA site will 'restock' sometime before this pricepoint ends? And if so, when? Tomorrow (Thursday)? Friday?

Anyone with any solid info/speculation? Any tendencies for CompUSA during non-holiday weeks? I almost never shop there.

[tigerjh81]

never had problems in my local bestbuy. but there are some BB with bastard workers!!

[RedvsBlue]

I never have anything but problems with my local best buy. The absolute worst was one time when they flat out lied to me. I had a BB gift card I wanted to use and Guild Wars was on sale at Circuit City so I stopped by Circuit City to grab an ad to pricematch at Best Buy. When I stopped at Circuit City I went in and checked to make sure CC had the game in stock, sure enough they had about half a dozen copies.

I went straight over to BB from there and attempted to price match. The guy walks away to call and verify that they had it in stock and when he comes back he tells me they were out. I told him I was just there and there they had at least half a dozen copies but he refused to price match because they were out. Now, I understand its possible that Circuit City lied to him on the phone but why would they? If the person didn't want to be bothered with having to go chek for it at Circuit City, chances are they would just say it was in stock. I finally just said "fine I don't want the game then, but you and I both know your lying to me."

[DomLando]

The Best Buys around me have never called another store to check if an item was in stock on a price match. They just make sure you showing them a legit advertisement.

I know this is a CompUSA thread but I HATE bestbuy!

The worst thing they ever did was to force my sister to return 1 cent game guide she had already paid for as she was leaving the store. Most Best buys check you receipt at the door and when they did they claimed that it was a price mistake and told her to return the items, this was during the Xmas season and the store was packed, it was very embarrassing for my sister to be treated like a criminal in front of all those people.

We complained to the store, best buy corporate, BBB, but nothing came of it.

[OGHowie]

I just walked into the CompUSA at City of Industry and grabbed the last copy. :)

One thing that is strange is that in the 2 CompUSAs I've visited they have had the 360 stuff away from the regular games. I actually had to search for the 360 stuff which was off by itself with its own kiosk.

[jollydwarf]

Well, for the SECOND time in as many days, the CompUSA site had Oblivion go from "Coming Soon" to "Sold Out!" while I blinked, apparently. No, I haven't been obsessively refreshing the page, but I have checked it pretty religiously during my waking hours. Did they EVER have it available online? Did anyone luck out and get it from compusa.com? Anybody? Anyone?? Bueller? If they did technically have it available, what was their warehouse allotment each time, a dozen?

Looks like I'm most likely going to have to 'cave' and get it at Best Buy tomorrow. At least I'll get double Reward Zone points for it. To facetiously quote Jake Lloyd, "Yippee!!"

best buy gave me shit for price matching today. I waited for like 20 minutes while this lady got her manager and asked her and all this B.S. only to decline me in the end. The lady had the nerve to ask me if I still wanted the game after she declined me. I told them there was no way I would ever give money to a company with such terrible customer service. I went over to wal-mart and got it price matched without any problem at all. Then went to the wal-mart closer to me and price matched again and picked up a copy for my brother as well.

If anyone has a wal-mart near them grab your compusa ad and print out the compusa website page for oblivion as well since the ad is a little confusing and walmart will price match easily.

Does compusa have ads in store? The nearest is at least 15miles away, I dont have the compusa ad so I guess I need to pick up the ad and attempt a pricematch.

Or do you think a store will accept the website printout?

I picked up my copy at the CompUsa in Norfolk today. There were several left when I got mine. The website said "coming soon" so I figured I'd just go and check if they had any. They were just sitting right there on the shelf with all the other games. Figured I'd hear trumpets blaring or SOMETHING, but no....haha...

I also needed a DVD drive for my pc, and picked up a DVD-RW drive for a sweet $29.99 while I was there! Had to search for the stock, but finally a cashier helped me locate one that wasn't where it should've been.

Hope my pc doesn't melt trying to play it!

Later...

CompUSA was out of stock when I went. I tried to pricematch at CC with a printout of the web ad and they were going to until they called CompUSA and found out they were out of stock. I then went to Fry's in Irving, which had it on sale for $47.99. I showed the manager the web ad and he not only pricematched, he changed the price in the system to $44.99. Enjoy for any CAGs around the Irving area.

I was in Irving last night and my friend got it for $44.99 without any adjustment...hmmm...must have been a pre-sale sale. :P

Wish I had the change for that nonetheless. :S

EDIT: Of course, we were there late, and I just saw your post in the Fry's thread, so that might explain it! ;)

Yeah, I had no problems price matching Oblivion at my Best Buy, in fact they only had the CE for the PC left and I was able to get them to PM that for $39.99 hah. It was sweet, the lady was really cool about it and didn't even ask a thing, just looked at the price, changed it, and I was out.

My CompUSA in Chicago didn't even stock any of the PC version. CRAZY. I am pissed.

Same here. Even funnier was the fact that we didn't see a 360 section...we saw the kiosk, but no games or accessories. Then we noticed it was on the completely opposite side of the store. This CompUSA is a joke.

I tried to PM @ BB and guess what? They said I couldn't use the weekly circular that I got from the website even though its the same as in store....they said I had to have the exact same one as at CompUSA even though I explained to her that

A. Ive doen this here before
B. You can go online yourself and verify that its simply a scanned and printed version of t he instore circular a mile away


Tomorrow ill either buy ES4 at CompUSA, get the flyer and go to BB, or just take the printed circular and go to CC or another BB

This game apparently sells out almost instantly when it's listed on compusa.com. I signed up to be notified via email when it was available for order. I checked my email earlier this afternoon, saw the 'product available' email, clicked the link inside..."Sold Out!" It has gone from "Coming Soon" to "Sold Out!" at least three times since release.

Knowing how unlikely I was to get the game at this price, I just went to Best Buy yesterday and bought it, using my $5 Rewards Zone certificate and 'double points' coupon to make the purchase a little better. Haven't opened it up, though. And no, I wasn't going to bother the price match ordeal, seeing as how I probably would've waited 10-20 minutes for a 50/50 chance of actually saving the money. Based on the reviews so far, there aren't many other games around that give you as much to do for your money, so even the full MSRP is probably pretty fair here.
