An easier fix: "This is not the $10 Fall Special COD issue which is not included in the Gamers Club Unlocked subscription."

Don't need the parentheses.

Thanks for the info....


*Yawn* So what else is going on??? Is this the Best Buy??? I expected more but it seems like they are destined to be another competitor that tried but failed. First they steal a month from us and then they come back with mediocre sales/coupons. Thanks but no thanks... The interest was there but i will pass on another year of magazines and coupons that do not get used.

Are the coupons stating the price of the game will be X after it is applied, or are you placing the value on the game? If it is the first scenario, I will not be renewing because the coupons will make a sales drop invalid. The coupons will always carry the same value. Use the coupon and get the game for X price. I can easily foresee BB not issuing coupons for games that will be $9.99 or free, but only price X if coupon is applied.

See ya.

Those are the prices after coupon. That is why they are so high now since we do not know if there will be any sales to stack with the coupons yet.

You know one can just be friendly to blueshirts and they may just let you use the coupon without buying the magazine, instead of having a chip on your shoulder.

I'm surprised that BBY hasn't shrink wrapped the magazines to prevent people using the coupons without purchase. They probably want people to be using these, to clear out stock.

Sleeping Dogs is $39.99. Therefore, it would be $24.99 after the coupon is applied. If the OP is adding the value himself, he needs to make this thread a wiki in order for the community to update the prices accordingly.

On BB.com MSRP is still $59.99. It's on sale for $39.99 this week though.

Nope - because then "this" could be "the $10 Fall Special COD issue which IS included in the GCU subscription." "This" isn't the $10 Fall Special COD issue, period - no qualifiers.

Are we all ready for the magazine to actually come out?

I'm still honestly hoping for an explanation of "Mag has to been scanned along with barcode for GCU booklet." I don't think I have a GCU booklet, and I'm starting to feel insecure about it.

I think he means if you go to subscribe, to get a free issue, it has to be scanned along with the GCU pamphlet that they use and give to anyone signing up.

Yeah cause games like Arkham City and Mass Effect 3 were complete failures.

All I know is I'm glad the oct issue isn't just CoD/activision shit. Hopefully Sleeping Dogs will go on sale for $40 again next month. Thanks op.

I would rather have Enuf handle his own OP than misinformation like Sleeping Dogs being $24.99 after coupon being thrown about.

I'm sure the game will go back to regular price next week. I don't think this week's sale price will last all through October.

Just have some faith in Enuf. If for some God awful reason he doesn't correct his post remember, this is the internet. You can get that info elsewhere.

The gcu booklet is just the info booklet they keep and the counter there in the gaming section. Describes the subscription (basically the sales pitch) and has all the legal fine print.

You only need it when you are subscribing for the first time. Ring up the booklet and the mag and the mag will adjust to $0.00.

Just renewed a few days ago and had to walk the employee through it.

Short story long....don't stress about

It is only $40 cause of this week's sale which ends Saturday night. Going forward I don't see BB allowing much stacking with sale prices, they haven't done it since late July with SSX.

Lmao! That game will hit $5 so fast. Lmfao.

Changed the OP

This is for people who aren't unlocked or know about GCU. Some of the 1st ?'s are
How much for just one mag?
How much for the sub?
How do I get the 1st issue to ring up free?

The last few threads weren't updated with plenty info & I'm hoping at this point there's no longer a need for tons of colors, links & bolding.

The coupons aren't live yet thus $24.99 isn't possible at least no one has confirmed anything as of yet. Once the prices change I update the OP as usual not sure if you've seen my previous @gamer threads but I stay on top of the stacks. The OP & title get changed accordingly. I was the one who had to keep track of the B:AC one which was craziest month along with the 1st issue "THEY STACK!!!" when sale prices actually started working w/o override.

seriously... 9.99 for an additional magazine? i agree with what others said, if we were that big of COD fans than we most likely already have all of those games... i just don't see the point of it? also being an @Gamer subscriber, it almost feels like i'm being punished for them letting everyone know we won't be getting this magazine... weird marketing ploy BB... i'm not biting... your move.

Unless Dead Island GOTY drops to $10 after coupon, this will be the first issue for me where everything is a blank. The COD issue is a total bust as well, the separate $10 buy-in for the magazine itself makes it unlikely to achieve good price points for MW3 and Blops 1.

Sup Fellas. I was wondering if you guys could give me a suggestion on which Hard Cover Limited Edition Strategy Guide I should use the 50% off coupon for joining the Best Buy Gamer Subscription. I usually buy my Strategy guides from Amazon and I am totally stumped. Thanks :-)
