Any CAGs in Toledo? I just went to the TRU on Monroe St. and they had about 2 copies each of AC:Revelations, Arkham City, Sims 3 Ambitions, Old Republic and 1 copy of the Starcraft Battle Chest. The TRU on Reynolds doesn't have crap, though.

I wouldn't get a PM on Batman:AC unless you want the physical disk. Amazon Digital has a Batman bundle [AA GOTY + AC] for $10 this week [both are STEAM keys]

Anyone have success at best buy at old orchard in skokie, il? I went and they said I have to buy pokemon to get it for 70% off which was not even true. I argued with them and how it said less than $20 games get the 70% off discount and since the game is now less than $20 it showed that deal up as well.

another just said they dont price match clearance games.

edit - tried another and they said they got an email from corporate saying they will not be price matching toys r us anymore because of the pc clearance sale.

Went to Best Buy today and the manager said they only price match in-store items and not online prices. Strange because I showed the online price for SSX from GameStop last week and they priced matched that to $20

Lame.

With Best Buy accepting tons of PS2 games from last weeks Gamestop sale, I doubt they are hurting with the added inventory they accumulated.

Just picked up 2 copies of SC2 at the Walmart in Orange, CA with no problems. Thanks OP!

I can confirm the memo as the customer service rep helping me was in the process of price matching my copy of Starcraft II when another employee stepped in and pulled up the memo and shot down the price match.

I wonder if the ones that did PM are getting yelled at. o.O

Stop being rational you crazy bastard. Best Buy is the primary cause behind the decline of consumer rights and Western civilization.

I did PM there but it was only 1 or 2 days after the story broke here. These tremendously advantageous deals have a short half-life, but half the time it's a crap-shoot on which cashier, CS robot, or manager you encounter. Give it another shot if it makes sense to do so.

lmaaao.

y'all PM'ing BF3 Premium are getting a steal, since its not even listed on sale on the site lol.

South Florida Walmart and Best Buy stores will NOT honor this deal as a price match:

Walmart managers at 16 locations have all said the same thing - "Item must be from a flyer or ad, and not printed from online. Item must also be IN STOCK at the local store and only original flyers will be accepted."

Best buy managers at 12 locations have all said the same thing as well - "We do not honor the Toys R Us deal because it is a clearance item."


Anyone else have luck anywhere else in the South Florida area???

I think this deal is just about dead, almost all best buys have caught on that's its a clearance item now.

I managed to get my local Walmart to price match Diablo III.

I was in there picking up some batteries today and I decided to take a chance and ask the customer service desk what their policy was regarding price matching deals that are only listed online. To my great surprise, they said that as long as I could show it to them on my smartphone, they'd do the price match. They told me to go get the items that I wanted.

I went back to the electronic section to see what they had in stock, and the only games that they had were Diablo III & Starcraft 2. I grabbed them both and took them to the CS desk. When I showed them the price online, the CS rep's eyes bugged out. She had to call the manager (or at least, the person in charge at the moment) over because she wasn't expecting it to be over 50% off. After several minutes thinking about it, the manager said that they weren't sure if they could do it. Then after a few more moments, she said that she'd let me have one of them at the price match price and to choose which one. I chose Diablo III.

I'm stunned that I actually got them to say yes to the price match. Even if it was for only one of the games. I kinda get the feeling that I got away with something because the woman in charge said that she was gonna have to ask the head honcho for some clarification on the price matching policy. I'm not sure if they were supposed to do what they did for me. Hopefully I didn't get anybody in trouble.

you got really lucky, it could of turned out totally different.

I can't find any stores in the Boston area with Starcraft II

I asked my local Best Buy if they could price match SC2 since they price matched CODMW3 the day before and I got the awful answer of "NO". The associate told me that they received an EMAIL stating not to price match ToysrUs anymore. I guess from the looks of things around here on CAG, the email was sent company wide.

I tried this on Diablo 3 at Best Buy today and they pulled up a forum saying they're not allowed to do the price match. And it did look to be company wide.

Was actually able to find AC:R and Skyrim at my local Toys' R Us a little bit ago. Still had a few AC:R's and Batman AC's left. I was sure I missed out on all of the games due to being on vacation all last week.

Wow I was wondering why this thread didn't die yet. Only to see cags trying to PM an item sold out for weeks now. Did the memo state no PMs to TRU for PC only or everything period?

Congrats cag you killed a PM option at the current best gaming retailer.

Yep there are always going to be those one or two maroons that have to act like jackasses and ruin future deals just so they can get 12 copies of Diablo III.
