This added money means profit for BB based on GC & should increase GCU memberships & visibility thus strengthening the GC. This will allow BB to offer more aggressive gaming deals & not just limited to GCU. Think of it this way Activision & other game companies that you may or may play will allow BB to offer more $20 coupons vs $10 ones more RZ coupon deals & even more $15-$20 GC & RZ offers(which obviously benefits us CAG's). All these additional deals are going to subsidized by the "masses" who WILL BUY the $10 mag. And to be honest if the sales stack right($5-$10 COD games) there will be plenty of CAG's putting up $10 for the mag too. ^^^big picture it's all about a better GC with more deals & more months like March(Rage/ME2/Bulletstorm $5 ea, $1 B:AC) which is what we all want. More months where games like Sleeping dogs, Transformers Fall of Cybertron, Amazing Spider-Man, Dragons Dogma hit $10-$15 & this wiill get us there.

You must not have read the BIG RED BOLDED TEXT IN THE OP

read my response above^^^ also this is why it isn't forced on GCU members or us "losing" a month of coupons. Greater good

Again not a rip off^^^ they could've made this October's issue or increased the GCU membership to $20-$25 don't you think this is the better option.

That's the sale price you're talking about.

Milking it just like activision has done to the game the last 5 years.

Thanks, OP.

When does the sale end? Coupon is worthless if not valid during sale.

i dont think best buy cares ur dissapointed, surely they didnt make this magazine only thinking about you....but maybe they did and they just dont get you.

The sale will probibly end before the coupon is active. If that price does hold however then I will be more happier than a pig in shit lol

Did people not pick up Sleeping Dogs during TRU 2 for $60? If you really want the game you can pick up a used copy from GS for $28 with that $10 off Coke code.

I wanted to do that tru deal but I had no gaming funds at that time :(

There was no other game I was interested in for the 2 for $60 not to mention buying my textbooks were a bigger priority so no, not everyone was able to get the deal sadly.

OK, just wut here. Obviously I'm not keeping up. What is the GCU booklet? Why would I need a printout from a gaming kiosk? I've just been having them scan the coupons from the magazine. Seriously, what am I missing?

People for whom $30/game <> CAG probably did not, no.

I'm still shocked at how great that 2 for $60 deal was and I still haven't opened DS II (did pick up a cheap copy of DS1 at Sears that I wanna beat soon). For anyone who hasn't picked up Sleeping Dogs yet I highly recommend you do so asap.

Also as a GCU member I feel that it's a huge rip off to sell the other magazine for $10. I can see $5, and would gladly pay it, but for $10 I'm gonna have to figure out what coupon other than the PS Plus I would even consider using.

man if sleeping dog would get to 20$ id be happy
with the ME triliogy i didn't use any coupons this past month except to grab battlefield 3 for free.
hoping for a sleeping dog sale

I cant beleave how much angry birds is. Even with the coupon its so overpriced. Their ego has almost gotten activision big lol. Ill stick with my free android downloads

Games that sell well won't show up in the coupons. BB is only concerned with moving stock of games that aren't.

FYI, Dragon's Dogma is getting DLC next year with a new underground area, new monsters, plus a hard and speed mode.

My guess is that the magazine is $10 so best but gets half and activation gets half. Makes sense to me. C'mon people, it's two big businesses with $100+ worth of coupons. Someone has to actually make money art the end of the day

The sentence in the OP actually does say the opposite of what is intended.

Using "and" makes it sound like he's still talking about "This..." where he was referring to the October issue.

"This is not..." the COD issue...

"and is not..." included.

Nope, he says (well, shouts):
"THIS IS NOT THE $10 FALL SPECIAL COD ISSUE & IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE GAMERS CLUB UNLOCKED SUBSCRIPTION"

Fixed:
"This is not the $10 Fall Special COD issue (which is not included in the Gamers Club Unlocked subscription)"

Still too many negatives, but you get my point.

I must have corrected it as I read it. Still, it's fairly clear if you read the entire OP.
