I like the pacing of Modern Warfare 1 & 2. The missions feel more polished, you feel more integrated into the action (where your teammates seem quite competent when they fight; unlike Modern Warfare 3, where you could have one enemy remaining in a section, and it's apparent your teammates deliberately miss), and it's less rail shooter-y (it's not a constant push towards one destination after another; you might go into a house, leave, and then come back to it).

Absolutely.

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I hope I'm not offending you by suggesting they could have better deals, I don't want you to take my thoughts on the deals personally.

Every single one of those coupons would be worthless to me. What appeals to you does not appeal to everyone. Furthermore, there is usually a reason for a coupon for a particular game. Offering money off any game would be ridiculous from Best Buy's point of view. Most people would probably use it on brand new games that Best Buy knows they could have sold for full price anyways.

Nothing for me AGAIN. That's 2 months in a row. The only time I got to use some coupons was when I signed up in late July, and picked up Kingdom of Amalur for $10 and COD: MW3 for $20 at the same time. Looks like I signed up too late for the Reward Zone gimmicks. When they first started in March/April or so there were a ton of awesome deals for around $10. Not any more it looks like. I'm pretty disappointed that I signed up and paid money for the subscription. As it stands now, I'm definitely NOT going to resubscribe when my subscription runs out.

I think it's perfectly plausible for better deals to come back, maybe not this next month, but the magazine gives them the option to clear out any new games that haven't sold particularly well or to do a flash sale on older games they need to clear out for space requirements. I wouldn't entirely count out @Gamer just yet ...

Of course, that was just one example, but those types of deals would be worthwile to a larger variety of people. And I'm not saying just have those, just throw those in so everybody is happy. My crude percentage scenario (I don't know if you read it) describes exactly what I mean.

Right, we're coming up on the biggest release time of the year. BB will overstock lots of those titles, meaning they will need to clear out that stock eventually. Dont write of Gamer yet.

So this is an in-store only deal? I can't seem to find it online. Is there a flyer or something I can show the Toys R Us guys?

I am glad I haven't opened my F1 2012 yet, hoping coupon is for this years

some posters posted that the deal is regional, so ymmv. your best chance is to price match at bestbuy

Now I just need Dead Island goty to drop back down to $20 so I can pick it up for 10 bucks. Have wanted to play that game for awhile now.

same here i still need to sort through the newegg preorders i made and decide what is keepable and what i can expect to be on sale later.

Too bad they wouldn't do a $20 off Battlefield Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition, since that comes with the VIP maps, the DLC voucher for BF1943(which I could give to my one buddies nephew) and I think some other stuff.

I just noticed they had 3-4 copies of that in stock today.

By the way, for those still hoping to use the Battlefield 3 coupon for this month to get the game for $10, you might want to recheck your local BB stores. Mine had in 3-5 copies of the vanilla edition today.

Shooters are pretty much the only type of game I DON'T play. This is bullshit

Good thing none of them are shooters, unless you want to count sleeping dogs

but what do I have them PM? I don't know where this deal is advertised? This is the first I've heard of it.

I didn't realize there was a second list of games that had been posted. Well, I suppose that's a little better. At least there's some variety with that group. Nothing that really interests me though.

I'm guessing this is a typo and it's actually $15 *OFF* a 12 month XBL subscription, right?

If you plan on playing the online portions of the games;
I play World at War and it is loaded with hackers and modders. Over the last few weeks I have been able to play games without them entering matches and ruining them, but the internet reasoning is that it's because school has resumed, so online jerks are busy doing other things as the summer has ended. Weekends are supposed to be more problematic, as I have encountered. Cheaters exist in both the Nazi zombie modes, and in the competitive games.

I've consistently read that Call of Duty 4 is worse with how many hackers and modders are in the games. I know that 4 and World at War run off the same resources, so that's why both are so full of both types of cheaters.

If you plan on playing them just for single player, or in matches just with friends, you should be fine.

I guess it's time to dump off any MW3s and BOs you have lying about.

The coupons are not that bad if the mentioned games goes on sale and stack with these coupons; with that said, I don't think I will be using any of the coupons unless the price drop super low.
