YPL6HR2 is the same one I got too, looks like it's the same as last time, they only have 1 code. That code should work for everyone.

Wow, that game was as easy as I remembered it. Beat it first try with an 1165 score. Thanks Lordopus for letting us know that there are new coupons and a new expiration date.

I have a printed copy of the 15% off coupon (wasn't it supposed to be 10%). Hopefully somebody can get a copy of the big one on the net somewhere. BTW that game is really annoying...

How much does the GMR subscription cost nowadays?

Stargun007
06-02-2004, 07:24 PM
The GMR subscription and pre-owned discount is $10. I think it's really worth it. GMR is a great magazine. It has cooler features on more obscure games compared to EGM and the writing is fairly entertaining. Every issue makes me at least chuckle.

how do you get a print out?

06-02-2004, 07:39 PM
20% off is the most (30% with GMR card). I got the 20% off card, will make color copies of it before I go to EB.

How exactly are you supposed to score 1000, anyway? You need to hit 40 EB stores without missing any, however you probably aren't even going to pass 40 EB stores during an average game unless you move constantly at full speed. Meaning, that even if you did everything perfectly, you'll still probably fall short of 1000 points when the time runs out.

Wshakspear
06-02-2004, 10:38 PM
actually, theres more than 40 stores. quite a few more. i go about mid speed, and when i toss, i pull back a little and it curves the game into the store. Easy now, but still retarded

slayer
06-02-2004, 11:01 PM
Not for me, most of the time there wasn't even close to 40 stores. I had several games where I only missed 2 or 3 stores and ended in the 700s.

SoulEdgeVII

Wshakspear, could you please e-mail me the picture of the updated coupon at SoulEdgeVII@yahoo.com. Thanks a million!

ebgames.com says it's $19.98. Is it cheaper B&M?

LOL, maybe so, but I just went through a game and counted, and I only passed 36 EB stores for the whole game. I went at higher than average speed for most of the game, except for when I passed a store I usually had to slow down to about average speed. Of course, I did miss a few along the way, and a few of the stores popped up right after I jump over an obstacle and I couldn't slow down in time to hit them, so I ended up in the 600s, but even if I had managed to hit every store I still would have only gotten 900 points. Unless my browser is making the clock count down faster than it should or something, I don't see how it's possible to score over 1000.:-k

Anyhow, thanks to whoever posted the coupon, for those of us who are apparently too weaksauce to beat it ourselves.

Stargun007
06-03-2004, 10:04 PM
The coupon has a barcode. Can you still use it more than once? I thought that each bar code was special, so that if you printed dozens of copies of it you could only use it once.

jshorr
06-03-2004, 10:18 PM
Does your barcode say EBC3006244? If so it's the same. I'm sure it is anyway...and you could use it multiple times...they just are using the gimmick to get you to sign up your email address...which you could provide fake anyway.....

Slayer, you know the game ends when you get knocked on your ass three times right?

slayer
06-03-2004, 11:38 PM
I dont get knocked on my ass 3 times though, the game ends when the timer runs out.

I gave it a couple more tries today, and I'm still finishing with 625-750 points even though twice I didn't miss any of the stores.

Seriously that is weird, maybe you should call EB tech support :lol:

Ok ok no more jokes, if you haven't gotten a copy already I will scan and email it to you later tonight or tomorrow if you want.

07-07-2004, 03:46 PM
But the coupon code still works. I played and got 10% off, and I went to EBgames.com and the code worked. Although it is rather pointless since there are already other better codes and it can't be combined with the others.

jshorr
07-07-2004, 04:22 PM
If you had gotten a better score you would have gotten 20% off....and this deal wasn't good for online really it was great for in-store....could be combined with GMR card for 30% off. But it's expired I doubt they'd take it.

This was old news....it's expired, brother. Expired July 3rd. It was easy to win the game for 20%, and you could combine with GMR for an extra 10%. But it's done.....
